Totally agree here. The midlife crisis these 20 somethings and kids experience will be off the f@cking charts.

meh..... If you really want to know if wider platforms would work, then there's nothing stopping you from finding out for yourself but you.

With all due respect, why don't you stop wondering and try it for yourself?

That actually made me LoL on this thread. Nice job sir

There's a lot of truth to that. See a kid out by themselves, and first thing you think is something is wrong. If you're a parent you worry about about being judged or worse yet, reported for sending them out into the wild (which they need). Sad thing is, the streets are WAY safer than they were when we were kids, yet everyone is so terrified of the outside world. Bizarre. On the MTB topic, both my kids were in NICA and the biggest challenge to mountain biking was extracurricular / after school activities. Football marching band is a f@cking cult in texas and devours all of your free time. Thankfully, my oldest quit band after she realized she was getting nothing out of it and doubled down on academics.

Should probably start with the parents first https://www-esquire-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.esquire.com/lifestyle/sex/amp23279319/fortnite-video-game-causing-divorces/?amp_js_v=a2&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQECAFYAQ%3D%3D#referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From %1%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.esquire.com%2Flifestyle%2Fsex%2Fa23279319%2Ffortnite-video-game-causing-divorces%2F We have teenage girls so gaming is not an issue and for the most part, neither is social media. It's a complete anomaly and I give my wife full credit for that. We do have issues with binge watching of Netflix. Over the summer, I'd leave for work and come home and theyre still on the couch watching TV in the same f@cking clothes. Keep in mind we just moved to a house with a full country club, gym,pool, restaurant, etc. They could hang out at the the pool and order cheeseburgers on our tab. Nope, still on the couch. As chief said, all I wanted to do was run the streets as a kid and look for kicks. Now, kids just want to live vicariously. That was until I put the router on a timer 🤣

This was our experience as well. For us, it was just cool to get off the grid and go ride. Most of the trails like fresno were really basic singletrack with some steep, punchy climbs and a smattering of soft sand to keep the heart rates up. Don't forget to check out the abandoned quicksilver mine when your out there. Lajitas was a lot more fun to ride than the state park area plus had a cool canyon section towards the back end. We had good weather as we stayed around the xmas break and dodged all the heat. TV, internet, chaos and traffic were replaced with eclectic people & places, vast expanses and holy sh*t, beautiful starry nights. We also took a drive up to the basin and were blown away by the amount of tree growth and especially the aspen trees growing this far south. Definitely recommend for a much needed getaway.

Yes, take this an example of answering questions in real life. I was interested in PI pedals, tried a set and bought something else. No FB required. Again, what was your question? What is motivating you to ask this (question)? Your original post was at a minimum ambiguous. *Do you have foot pain? *Are you trying to alleviate your pain by purchasing large platform pedals? *Are your cheapo pedals having issues? *Do you have hobbit feet?

"And that my good friends... Is how it's done." Now back to your copy/paste/post Exactly what question were you asking or what discussion were you initiating with this; "For $99 that is... Or so they say..."? Yes, I have heard of PI, looked into them, played around on a set at a NICA event and decided to pass. They were in my opinion too large and heavy for whatever advantage they may have offered over a traditional platform. I and a few of my buddies use DMR vaults as they are a larger platform, with a shallow concave and reasonably light for the cost.

touche' ...that's what i get for being lazy I ride/rode both. It's just something you get used to as there's a benefit to each of them. I had to use SPDs on my cross bike as it spent most of it's time trying to kill me, and being clipped in was the only way to keep my feet on the pedals on a full rigid bike at speed. I can totally see why professional DH racers are clipped in, and its certainly not for pedal efficiency.

What actual value did bartman bring into any discussion? Im at a loss. Besides, this is just one website that finally told him no. He still has mojo, and up until a month or so ago, thats all he had and he was happy to wallow in that.

so why post an article on something you have no intention of buying? Its also pedal, not peddle.

so when are you buying a set?

There's an entire forum for that and this type of thread. https://austinmountainbiking.com/index.php?/forum/12-general-chat/

Mojo was a ghost town before the bots took over, so nothing new if this site is slow at times. Objectively, the only real activity on the mojo was when there was some sort of fighting with either bartman or riding again. That's not a MTB forum, its the comment section on TMZ. There's plenty of sites out there to insult one another in anonymity.

mojo is his playpen now and he has it all to himself. edit* he and the bots have it to themselves

Some things are still retail-ish priced. Thanks for heads up though as theyll start dropping all prices like pricepoint.com did if they are indeed going out of business.

Saw that too. Good riddance

That sucks man. ive heard thats somewhat common on some RF cranks.

The whole thing is just kinda sad.

Wife and i did a turn and burn to Chattanooga over thanksgiving last year and really enjoyed the trip. The trails were very well designed and maintained and offered a little something for everyone. Raccoon mountain recreational area was blast. Fast flow trails with berms, drops and all the good stuff to put a smile on your face. Theres also some fun trails to ride about 30-45 min away in Georgia, and if you're channeling your inner Seth, Winrock is about 2hrs away. Downtown Chattanooga was clean, quiet and surprisingly modern with lots of friendly people and good food & booze to go around. Liquor stores have a taproom and can pour! Lastly, if you can, stay in the Read House historic hotel as it been renovated and had many famous quests and apparently also has a haunted room. https://www.mtbproject.com/directory/8012838/raccoon-mountain PB pron https://www.pinkbike.com/video/468277/ What snaps i took:

This was a pretty good vid on Tucson MTB scene https://www.pinkbike.com/news/local-flavors-the-complete-guide-to-riding-in-tucson-az.html

PD State park for the win then. Theres lots of camping, hiking museum and wildlife and a stream down in there. Super cool place. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g55580-d109507-Reviews-Palo_Duro_Canyon_State_Park-Canyon_Texas.html Dont go during early NOV https://www.bikereg.com/39831
