Did Trek buy Felt?

Every shot is a banger? Ugh. Bangers are moves that truly drop jaws and that very few riders can even attempt to pull. A tabletop is not a banger. Not saying the kid can't ride, just saying we should try not to overuse the word 'banger'.

Maybe moreso than DH, but no way more cardio than XC.

Cardio?

"These bad boys are what mountain bike jumps should be: large and in charge, and with lips that send you into orbit without being steep enough to require one of those 20'' wheeled kids bikes." - Mike Levy Sorry, Mike, but as a rider of all wheel sizes, including that of the 20" variety, I wonder why you feel like you have to take a shot at BMX. Sounds to me like you're like a large number of mountain bikers who have never ridden BMX for a variety of reasons, most of which boil down to not having the cajones. Don't you think it's interesting that many of the people who have and now do dominate the sport of mountain biking ALL have had BMX backgrounds? Gwin, Peat, Lopes, Berrecloth, Kintner, Carter, Chausson, Tomac to name a few. All of these "kids" love to ride bikes, regardless of how big their wheels are and each of them probably do get out on the 20 from time to time.

Who's that slow guy on the camera? Must be one of them Froehlers...

And a better shirt. Ugh.

How was freeride reinvented?

Patience. Couple years and we'll all get to ride them. Hub issues will also be rectified.

Yet another sub-category: all-mounting. When will it ever end?
