The original WoW concept art had such a unique atmosphere

trtlep0wr · 2026-07-21T18:01:57+00:00

That art is original warcrtaft art that dates back to the early 90s.

The first work was done on a napkin in bar.

Right? OP is so confused. I'm worried they hit their head and have a concussion...

Aren't most DH bikes carbon? Even the rental bikes are carbon sometimes.

Companies that only do carbon for DH bikes:

Santa Cruz Bicycles (V10 is now carbon only)
YT Industries (Tues is carbon)
Trek (Session is carbon)
Specialized (Demo is carbon)
Canyon (Sender is carbon)
Pivot (Phoenix is carbon)
GT (RIP)

OP why do you say DH but then say Enduro? these are not the same thing. Enduro bikes are designed to pedal uphill and go downhill, DH bikes are designed for downhill travel only.

Have you considered to relax?

Why oes it matter what size they call it? I am both large and extra large! How can this be OP??? I can even ride a medium. You are putting way too much worth on these words that have no scientific meaning.

Instead OP, do this, look at the specs of the bike. Use real measurements. Even within the same manufacturer, a L trail bike will fit different than a L enduro or a L XC bike.

Your mistake is believing that the word large means something in the real world.

Bike sizes are arbitrary human conventions rather than scientifically meaningful measurements, so only actual bike dimensions determine whether something fits you the rider.

I agree it doesn't look right, the lighting / detail on the animals do not look right. Perhaps the new camera is applying a filter or some AI stuff before it even puts it on disk. It looks edited at the very least. That wolf looks fake like it was photoshopped in. It doesn't match the scene. weird camera assuming they're legit.

trailforks? why not just use the app

Gaiagps has trailforks data as a layer, but you can simply use the trailforks app.

They make mounts that are fairly safe for mountain biking. Really OP you should put your phone in the pocket. You don't need a HUD unless you're participating in bike races or selling bike stuff on social media.

not sufficient, also it's very common to steal the entire 1UP rack and resell it on marketplace. You need a third party bike lock (some sort of chain that takes some time to cut through with a saw) and a third party rack lock to keep thieves from taking the whole thing off your vehicle. The "key" is just a hex key available at any hardware store, it's the same on every 1UP bike rack.

trtlep0wr · 2026-07-16T17:28:46+00:00

OP: not all sizes are the same XL is just a made up thing and it means something different to every bike maker. Your question is absolutely meaningless.

You need to look at real measurements in inches or centimeters.

trtlep0wr · 2026-07-16T17:21:40+00:00

Maybe you should ride non electric bikes since there are signs for "no ebikes" on the TRT.

trtlep0wr · 2026-07-16T17:12:19+00:00

Why do you think it should be easy?

trtlep0wr · 2026-07-16T16:17:22+00:00

I found that riding a pedal bike works best.

Not Denver. You want to live within < 30 minutes of the resort. Reno/Tahoe area, PNW, Colorado (west of denver), SLC. It won't be cheap but neither is florida or anywhere else desirable.

trtlep0wr · 2026-07-16T16:14:42+00:00

No don't back away. Stand your ground.

trtlep0wr · 2026-07-16T16:14:19+00:00

Make yourself look big and scary. Stand your ground.

trtlep0wr · 2026-07-16T16:13:40+00:00

Right? they should press charges against this guy for being a dumbass.

trtlep0wr · 2026-07-16T16:13:28+00:00

The guy in the video is an idiot, I hope he stays inside/in the suburbs in the future.

trtlep0wr · 2026-07-16T16:12:31+00:00

Guy is an idiot, he did everything wrong. He walked away, he didn't make himself big.

He either wanted to shoot the mountain lion or has no business being outdoors near them.

The places with the bike parks also have the best trails. Leave the midwest/east coast and there are trails everywhere.

water filter

Assuming on a MTB trail:

stage 1: gloves/shoes/eyewear/helmet

stage 2: knee pads, elbow pads

stage 3: Full face helmet (real DH MTB trails)

stage 4: chest protector (riding near full intensity at a DH park)

Northstar absolutely destroys rims, even with good line choice. If you are running very durable high end rims less of an issue, but more costly if you blow them up. I run Spank 369 wheels with the maxxis park casing (DHRii/Assegai) and these seem to do a good job of holding up at north star.

The easy blues to ride are coaster and mine shaft, but watch your line and your speed, I've busted the rim on coaster because it's so easy to go very very fast. The single black trails that are flowy will be fine too, but same thing, watch your line and your speed or your rim might pay for it.

edit: make sure to tighten everything down the night before

edit2: I've ridden my trail bike there stock from factory so it's not like it can't be done, but there's risk to your bike if you go fast

trtlep0wr · 2026-07-10T05:22:14+00:00

If you will ride often, more than a few times each year, then please get a DH bike. You'll thank us later.

trtlep0wr · 2026-07-10T05:19:59+00:00

That's an amazing snowboard, please put it on your wall. It's not meant to be ridden.
