Great video Q! It was cool meeting (and racing) you at the PA race this year, hope you guys are coming back again next year.

That's a world cup winning frame there... not mine, but you know, the ones Mosely and Gwin rode...

Word Trevor, Anf was killing it, and on his little bike no less!! Going to be fun to watch him at the races next year, I reckon he'll make some visits to the podium in the going-pro-soon-enough category (i.e Cat 1 19-29) :)

Nice work Anf, on the trail, and the edit... Reminded me of our ride the other week, right down to the fern in the face :) You gotta trim that sucker, it almost took my eye out.

Haha, thanks moonunit. The Deity Vendetta's are one of the few cranks that have never bent, pulled pedal threads, or failed on me in any way. You pay a small weight penalty (offset by Ti spindle), but you can't beat them in terms of strength and reliability!

I see where you're going with that @Protour, agree with you regarding improving the drivetrain, reducing weight, punctures (would add wheel failures to that), brake pads all that. But, not so much with the adjustable geo, travel, seatpost on a DH bike. Perfection isn't in my mind having one bike to do it all on. However, picking apart the Adam's interview is pretty pointless. It's all superlative. I mean, what next, are you going to tell us he's full of shit for saying "My bike plays the same role as oxygen in my life."? Try to think of it as poetry rather than statement of fact and you'll be closer to the truth. =)

Good idea Mike. Maybe tweet it in the meantime? I do that for stuff I want to "bookmark" and share later... BTW - you could also bookmark it in your browser, but I know, that's sooo 1999. :)

Yeah Fraser! Definitely a Flipper-quality pan. Amazing hand work there at 1/25

Add another pass purchased to the tally. Watching live streaming world cups, listening to Rob and crew, the whole waking up early when it's in Europe. I just don't want to imagine life without that. Now I just have to hope our Whistler condo has the wifi's this weekend! Cheers Freecaster, we love you!

yeah, it was a shame you missed this one, but there will be more... Whistler over labor weekend perhaps?
