all thats really changed is fashion.
peat is still awesome as are athertons, have some big freeride and dj riders now, grant fielder on the clump team, mcdermott riding for scott, and sam pilgrim for ashton/diamondback all doing very well in international comps

Wide bars are in but in fairness they do work.

Polishing is in, as is shaving weight off anything and everything

Slopestyle is big!

Shorter travel is in, long travel is out.

Sam Hill had a crash, we Lol'd.

Was Sam hill even on the scene 2 years ago? I mean, he must have been, but not in the top guys.

Steve Peat is slipping slightly.

Gee Atherton is now god at DH.

The Atherton family are generally God Like at Bike Related Tomfoolery.

Colours are back in! White is very big, but Purple is billed to be the new colour for 09.

Thats a brief overview of MTB recently  Roll Eyes missing largely in parts though.

Oh yeah, Gearboxes is a pretty big improvement.




Wow a potted b*lls**t MTB history....since when has Peaty slipped?  Hill's been at the top for at least 4/5 years, white looks s**t and always has done, gearboxes are still as they are...a great idea but not perfected.

Basically Waza mate, you've missed f**k all.  We're still one of the best MTB nations in the world, and have finally won some medals for it.  The kids are still trendy in the DJ community, but you knew that anyway!

Rootes


Whycantyoujustrespectotherpeoplesopinio ns!?!?...


- Everyone has either a sunday, glory or 224.

- Dragon races are too expensive

- Morzine isnt as good as previous years.

- Everyone wants a light bike

- Monster energy in the UK

- CRC are getting unreliable

- Troy lee helmets still dont look good...

- Cut down spikes are the tyres to have

- Rob warners commentry is interesting

- Manitou are still awful

- Nobodys wearing body armour

- Some people arnt wearing gloves!

- Clay porter can make a dh film better than alex rankin.

Thats about it really.

Hahahaha.

And to whoever said Peat isn't slipping... he IS.  What are we now, 5 World Cups into the season and an uninjured Pear hasn't won one yet, and looking like he might not all year?  That's a first Sad

Your obviously very ignorant or too opionated!

Peaty has slipped like he said, but only slightly, like he said!
White looks s**t? well thats your opinoin and doesnt change the fact that it has been and still is, quite big! (Funn, e-thirteen, deity, just to name a few companies who have gone pretty mental with it)
Sam Hill, he's masive at the moment, you cant deny that, was he as big 2 years ago, NO!
and gearboxes have improved over the last 2 years, hammerschmidt? he never said they'd been perfected

Oh and dont think anyone has mentioned the 661 knee pad movement, tomacts and kyle straits
Bos seem like they could get quite big too
