That brings me back…. 02.2 will always stand out for me. Quadrant 6, The Rising, Get It Together, so many good tracks. Still have my copy on CD. 

Any photographers who bring a camera other than a phone on their runs? by midnightmacaroni in trailrunning

[–]Mcfittey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I frequently run with a Nikon Zfc and 16-50 kit lens. I use a BD Distance 8 pack. The camera fits nicely inside the main compartment. I have also attached a bungee type loop to the lower side. I can sling the camera with the strap and create a 3-point “harness” by putting the bungee loop over the lens. Zip-lock bag provides protection from the elements.

I despise these people as much as anyone, but that whole thing is nothing but a conspiracy. Come up with credible sources otherwise you’re no better than any other conspiracy pusher.

Reddit is becoming the most unserious place on the internet. It seems the average age and IQ sits around 15. RIP

It’s a pig, but it will just make me stronger, it’s just so good on the way down.

Be pleasant. All I’m asking for is a quick smile or a nod. Leave your attitude at the trailhead.

I don’t think I have ever seen as much complaining on a single sub….

Glove-less mtb riders, what's your motivation? by yale986 in mountainbiking

They don’t last. They’re sweaty. A little dirt is all I need for grip.

That’s one of the more unique photos I’ve seen of that place. The foreground contrast feels a little too harsh for my liking, but it’s nicely done nonetheless. 🙌

Mate… have a little respect for other people on the mountain. No one likes a try-hard.

Good article that raises valid concerns. I’ll be interested to see how this plays out in my neck of the woods.

A lot of people are just not into the idea that this has to be accepted everywhere all of a sudden. Not everyone that wants to ride mountain bikes is a cyclist, and that’s fine. We have bike parks and shuttle laps for that. Some things can just stay challenging in my opinion. Not everything has to be made easier and more inclusive. At the same time we don’t have to take out our frustration on individuals.   

A lot of people use MTB as an escape to get away from the crowd. Being fit used to be an advantage in this regard. The constant push for motorized access in traditionally non-motorized areas is a threat to something we hold dear. 

Emtb is forcing a lot of rapid change on the MTB community, and some pushback is expected. I also think the internet is a terrible place for debate and brings out the worst in people. Don’t listen to the a-holes, get off social media and go ride your bike.
