  1. We have learned the hard awkward way watching movies with my kids lately that 80\90s R movies or even PG movies are way more R than movies today. I also seem to have forgotten how raunchy some of my favorite or memorable movies are. I cant believe my parents let us watch what we watched.
  2. 1. Awesome! 2. Happy for you 3. Hate you Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  3. @Quixoft FYI -- in the Marketplace section you can post for sale items and non bike items
  4. I am that uber rare guy who cannot stand dropper posts (Useless Crutches) I am in the minority for sure. That said I am a fan of PNW Components. They announced today a new program to sell refurbished droppers. Worth checking out if so inclined , good to see a company keeping their products from the trash pile https://www.vitalmtb.com/news/press-release/PNW-Announces-Refurbished-Dropper-Post-Program,3593
  5. I've been there countless times over the years. I thi k over by Devils Rock is the only place for no bikes. The other side is allowed Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  6. To us, we see a log that is laying across a trail,, or a "pile" of random rocks between trees and we ride it and leave it. Now if my mom was walking that same trail sees it as a hazard. She might move it If the features looked more legit, like what has been done at Walnut instead of looking like a random log or like my kid stacked rocks then maybe the hikers wouldnt move that stuff
  7. That nod at the end killed me , well played beast man
  8. Why the hell am i suddenly craving Lucky Charms?

  10. It is no higher than a curb, most people can clear a curb right?
  11. Bundesliga is about to return That's something awesome Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  12. Digging through the website, a crazy amount of info, impressive really
  13. https://www.trailforks.com/help/view/70/ How Content Approval & Moderation Works Trailforks is built as a tool for trail associations, so we try to give control to local associations over the content in their region. This is different from other sites that try and centralize control & moderation. We believe local groups know best not some central authority. Locals know their trails and what should be public, they know the corner cases and different regions have different policy concerning "unsanctioned" trails. So we provide the tools to let each region decide how their content should be represented. How Moderation & Control works There are several different ways trails & other content is approved & moderated. Our preferred method is assigning users from a local trail association with moderator permissions over the content in their region. So if a new trail is added in your region, this user would be notified and make the decision to approve, deny or modify it. This takes time to build up this database of local admins, we vet each application for region admin and give preference to directors from trail associations. But also give control to other groups or local users if its ok with the local association or no one steps up. If a region does not have any local admins, then the content sits in the global approval queue. This is where the power of crowd sourcing comes in. Users can check this pending content and vote to confirm or reject it. If an item gets enough votes in either direction then it is added or rejected. Each user on Trailforks has a "trust score", which is earned by adding confirmed content to the site over time. Users with higher trust score get more weight when they vote to confirm or reject content. The final way content is moderated is by the Trailforks staff, we periodically go through the global content queue and confirm or reject content ourselves. If we see the content resides in a region where their are local admins setup, we will leave that content for at least 1 week giving the local admins time to review it themselves.
  14. I was curious about the Minion SS , Seems like the Rock Razor is pretty popular now and I am not dropping $90 on that
  15. I have the Aggressor up front on my 27.5 , Running RR out back. Great hook ups
  16. If you do, I promise I am in better shape to ride better this time.. I never go south of the river but lets see, or I can hold em
  17. Every year when this inevitable topic comes up , I cringe. People and PI are the two reasons I dont go to Walnut anymore despite being a fun and great trail
  18. I am selling my 27.5 here but only because the space tolerance on my frame was not enough to accommodate them when I wanted to experiment. I also discovered I am big fan of Semi Slicks now and not knobby tires.
  19. I rode 1/4 to Rim to YMCA and back then over to PP.Last night rode SN and Church down to Gumdrop and then to Gnargasm then to PP and then back. Tight and twisty was fine. Drops like Gumdrop made me nervous but that's due to the tires, which I am replacing on Wed. I actually liked this setup better than with flat and wide bars. But yes the trails were fine.

  20. Did you see a rattle on the snake ? Looks like a Rat Snake to me
  21. @ St.BernardoI did 3 rides this past weekend on this new setup. I had this frame since 11/2015 . So it is very different now that I changed. I'm very happy and think it was a good move. I did the 60MM stem and gravel specific wide bars from PNW. New calipers , TRP Spyre SLC. And TRP RRL levers. The levers are brake only since the drivetrain is SS. New rubber is coming this week. But yea.. she is alot of fun to ride and not too much coin to swap. I can also remove the calipers and cockpit and swap back to flat bars and my Mt brakes if I so choose.

  22. Fine line between bad ass and dumb ass. I skew toward dumb ass. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  23. Got my Ventana setup with the drops. New stem and brakes and levers. I left her 32x17. Ordered new Ikons but they arent in yet. Thanks for the suggestions and education. Took her out this AM early and did my usual at Brushy around sunrise ride. Iwas so excited I forgot my pack in the fridge but rode anyways. Called it at 9.x miles since my saddle came loose and I didnt have my tool with me. Drops are so different and coupled with a 17t cog made little punchy climbs I normally dont think about into walkers. She is gonna keep being a fun ride. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
  24. That spot keeps me on my toes, I just never know what I might encounter from ride to ride.
