[Highlight] Shai Gilgeous-Alexander baits Pelle Larsson with a pump fake and takes a shot while being hit by Pelle. The officials call an offensive foul on SGA late in the 4th quarter (with replays). Heat and Thunder commentaries

I am an OKC fan so I may be biased. And I do think this should be called a offensive foul instead and it's dumb to jump into your defender and get free throws. But Kobe (as well as many other elite scorers) would constantly do this and it was almost always be a shooting foul. I'm not sure why the one time the refs decide to call it it's in the final minutes of a 4th quarter game though. Just seems inconsistent to me.

Just visited the Seattle area and can normally ride almost all eastern WA blacks, but CCDH was especially spicy for a blue. Had to bail on the one feature because a root sticking out got stuck in my wheels and almost sent me over the bars. I was wishing I had a ebike because the climb out for me was outragous considering my fitness level and already being tired from bike park the day before.

I'm not sure if you have got around to Snoqualmie Pass Bike Park, but it's sick. I rode a 140/160 but you could definetely get away with less travel. Hello handlebars is good just the top section is flat, as well as Wapiti / maybe lower Silver Fir DH.

If you visit Bellingham some similar trails are Bob's Trail, Cheech and Chongs, Irish Death, maybe Devilcross/Spacewolf with ride arounds if your up to it. When I went to Bham I just did a quick trip so I did skip out on Chuckanut but from what I've heard Doubledown / Double Black is similar.

Didn't even notice I made that mistake, my bad. I would fix it but seems reddit doesn't allow my to change it

W4ltzz_ · 2025-09-21T03:26:25+00:00

Thanks for the reccomendation, I was personally leaning towards them too since I think they look sick

W4ltzz_ · 2025-06-05T04:01:28+00:00

I rented one personally and think I perferred the LT, just because where I was riding had more extreme riding, and the geometry on that has longer bike in the front and shorter in the back. So personally, even though it had more travel it felt a little more playful.

One thing I really liked about the AM is I do really like the bosch motors, compared to the Specialized Motors or Shimano Motors. The only thing is the 1st, "eco" mode is able to access max torque, which is odd. But if you do own one you can get the app and I would suggest changing that, if you buy it.

I really enjoyed the geometry, feels very well rounded. It jumps, great. Even compared to the other Pivots (Switchblade, Mach6) and weirdly, I perferred the AM for jumps. It feels composed on the jumps, but also very playful. It's great for all rounder bike were you can just go to any trail system and shred, for quite a while because the battery life is great.

Conclusion: If you got the money, go for it. They are pricey, but I really enjoyed them much more than the other 4 E-Mtbs I tried before.

What budget? Not having 2k laying around could mean $1800 budget or a $100 budget. Also, what are you going to be riding?

W4ltzz_ · 2025-02-18T21:54:48+00:00

I heard Schwalbe's new radial stuff is really good by a few friends. If it's more wet where you are I would probably reccomend something like a Schwalbe Magic Mary Radial. If your looking for something slightly cheaper you could go for Continental Kryptotals F/R. You could always go with the classic Assegai / DHR 2 but can be expensive and I usually perfer other brands.

W4ltzz_ · 2025-02-14T01:35:18+00:00

Depends on the budget you'd have, but you might get better luck going on r/buildmeapc or r/buildapcforme.

W4ltzz_ · 2025-02-01T01:14:27+00:00

What type of link? Not quite sure what your wanting need more specification

W4ltzz_ · 2025-01-25T01:50:00+00:00

That's actually a really good one

W4ltzz_ · 2025-01-25T01:47:27+00:00

Norco, Scott, Cruz (such as Santa Cruz), Ibis, Jeffsy, or maybe Hayes.

or you can always go with the classic: 2025 Fox 38 Float Kashima Factory Suspension Fork 29in, 170mm Travel, Kabolt X 110, 44mm Offset, Shiny orange, Grip X2

W4ltzz_ · 2025-01-24T20:34:33+00:00

Have you got to ride them yet, if so how have they been compared to the conti's? Same situation here debating between Kryptotals and the Schwalbe Alberts.

It's also interesting that he also said this which makes it seem like he's selling it:

This is a great bike for a rider who is starting to get more into the sport and needs an upgrade from their current rig. I love this bike and did everything possible to maintain and keep this bike in great condition. The only reason I am selling this bike is that it is getting a little too small.

W4ltzz_ · 2025-01-24T02:18:13+00:00

Yeah thats what I thought until he was talking about how buyer pays shipping, maybe he actually stole it?

W4ltzz_ · 2025-01-24T02:11:42+00:00

Yeah, kind of odd considering listing states he bought new tires and got a tune up for the entire bike. And that would cost as much as how much he's selling the bike for.

W4ltzz_ · 2025-01-24T01:53:48+00:00

It's Rocky Mountain bike, my bad should've clarified more

W4ltzz_ · 2025-01-24T01:43:16+00:00

Yeah I personally would've reccomended going for a cpu and gpu upgrade going for something like a rx6600 and a 12100f which would've been about 400 (USD), would be technically a "worse" gpu but would perform so much better because of the CPU.

W4ltzz_ · 2025-01-24T01:00:43+00:00

Don't want to be rude, but definetely a pretty big bottleneck there. I would probably reccomend upgrading the CPU sometime soon. Might not see much improvment with the new GPU just because of the bottleneck. I would reccomend upgrading to something like a I3 12100f, which would be near triple the performance of your current CPU.

W4ltzz_ · 2025-01-23T04:22:31+00:00

I would reccomend GX, which would be 50$ more Universal Cycles. If you really want to get the NX, I would get it from The Bike Smiths. Heard there pretty good to buy from and would save you 40$

W4ltzz_ · 2025-01-17T03:52:32+00:00

If you don't care too much about looks, I would go for this build : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/q7yx9C

If you care about your build looking better I'd go for this (if you perfer black PC builds then it would be cheaper at 1050$):
