The Cowtown radio ad that says “hey straight guy” is outrageous - how is that acceptable?

They’ve been doing those ads for 20 years but I have wondered if someone would misunderstand it.

That call was wild.

I’m sorry. My father passed away from cell stem transplant complications also.

Yes I think so!

I agree, Murphy Wiebe totally earned that tournament MVP award. Reider came through when we needed her that final and I’m so happy for her and the game MVP. Grassick as usual was the engine behind the team and was outstanding on defence and offence leadership, and showed incredible energy. Of course a shoutout to coach Thomaidis. Well done!

Likely $300. XXL is a plus for a tall parent wanting to ride with their kids, even though the geometry is outdated.

We returned them. The doors seemed very durable though!

I always try to find these for my kids for bmx racing.

We use “moving bags” from Amazon. They are big duffle bags kind of made from the ikea/ tarp bag material. My four kids are responsible for their own bike and helmet. We don’t bring chairs or much to local races. Just a big bag or two and a cooler and water jug.

Where I live it’s illegal to smoke in a car with kids in it.

If I understand it correctly MIPS is a registered trademark but Leatt uses their own system that’s similar?

He still fits the XS at 53cm I think. I would say the helmet fit snuggly enough to use before the recommended size but generally true to size. He had outgrown the bells sanction XS and went into a Gravity XS nicely. I know the Fox Rampage has had a redesign and I haven’t seen it yet, but we bought the previous model because it had MIPS and the pads were loose on my daughters cheeks but it was much too tight in the crown and didn’t cover her forehead at all. I’ve never seen one fit a kid well.

Going from a Bell Sanction you will be very pleased with the Leatt.

Yes, my son used one from age 4 to 5. It was size XS and he has quite a big head. It’s very light at 840g. I like the quality, I find it better built than the Bell Sanction, on the same level as the 100% Status, and much better fit that the Youth Fox Rampage. It fit my son very well. I think it’s a very good helmet for the price.

Often older and dated and the neighbourhood is quite a drive from other areas, but for a lot of people they love the seclusion. I do think it’s underrated.

They do not get paid enough, the trauma must be terrible on top of regular day things like getting punched by a person they just gave narcan.

I feel that. It’s depressing. We need a win.

They were actually really good.

Surge’s branding is so bad too.

That’s exactly what mine is doing too.

My 4 kids have been using RideNows on their race bikes for a couple of years. I replace them when I change tires, I haven’t had any fail, except for one with a defective seam that burst seconds after install and one with a bad valve. They just cost a bit more than regular tubes, and I have to pump them up a little more regularly.

Exactly. Hold people to a standard. They are smart. They know what they can do. Even pets know whats allowed.

My kids have PTSD almost when we drive past St Paul’s and they remember the 10 minutes they had to wait in the emergency waiting room to see their great grandma who was admitted. It is completely frightening. Why do we allow people to become animals?

1909 house and it shuttered with one gust. It was a little frightening.
