Ya, those pesky private, for profit ski resorts, how dare they charge us for using their land! Its not like they spend millions of dollars maintaining their facilities or building trails! Its not like they take that money and use it to feed their families and send their kids to college! What greedy bastards! Man, that whistler is probably the worst offender! It would run so much better if the government owned it. Then it would be free! No cost! A free lunch! And it would be managed so much better, just like Solyndra!

"weight of just 2.98 lbs (50 grams lighter than in 2012)" i love AMERICA!

I dont really feel (or maybe care) about brake jack that much. The Jedi is a good comparison, i think. They also have a very high pivot point, and rearward motion, but so did the old Trek Session 10, but no one seemed to like that bike.

First, the v10 has... ten inches of travel, more than 9.5, and my guess is that the v10 is a popular bike. Also, this thing would get brake jack and brake dive (like a fork does). The rearward path means that a rearward acting force (a bump or heavy braking) compresses the suspension. Also, the brake mounts are on the upper swing arm, so the rotational torque would be transfered into that lever, compressing the suspension. If they put the mount on the lower link, it looks like to me that it would got through a lot less rotation as the suspension is compressed, making the brake jack much less, like the Davinci dh bike (i forgot the name of it right now)

wanna try that 650b tracer. Looks sick

this idea that a select few in Washington, DC, can make life choices for the rest of us makes me sick. I can't ride my bike because some liberal says I can't. I have to be taken care of by someone who doesn't know me, has never met me, and has no financial stake in my well being.
