I think an hour is a little optimistic, so is a consistent fit with a hand held jigsaw. But $429 is still too steep for my budget.

Looks like some cool trails! Cool video, I thought. Love to see the different riding environments in all the cool, free videos. Wish i could just go to all these spots after seeing them on pinkbike. To the comments about the riding: chillax, not everyone into mtb is a sponsored pro. These guys are doing fine, and having a good time. That's what its all about, right?

I have an enduro for mountain biking on singletrack and trails and an absolut 26" which is definitely my bmx bike. I race,skatepark,street, and jump on it. That's how I look at it but whatever. Anyone arguing over it is just silly.

I personally don't like the bikes cosmetics, but cosmetics are easily ignored when you're pedaling down the trail. I think the seat tube joining the downtube in front of the BB would be nice on some of the new single speed DJ/ slopestyle bikes that use the BB as the pivot point for the rear swing arm. Especially with an ovalized down tube allowing for good size bearings on the main pivot. I would be happy to ride a frame like the knolly but for $2250 usd i could buy a super nice complete bike at the LBS. Unless something drastic happens to the industry soon, I see mountain biking becoming a rich white mans sport, cutting out the working class families like mine. It took me $4-500.00 to take my family camping and riding in Moab this year and i live in Utah 4 hors away. My kids are growing and will both need bigger bikes in 2013 which will leave us riding only local trails and no road trips with the new bikes that year.

I'm american, but lived in the UK until I was 10. The David Attenborough voice took me back to the good ole days in Chelveston. Just give PatchesUK the backpack and call it a day. No one could top that!

Plenty of comments on her good looks, but it looks like she can justify her new sponsor by flying on that pink bike. She was mobbin' down those wet rocky trails!

I've been most comfortable with blackbottoms bibs with padded liner underneath and the outer shorts over that for the pockets. The bibs have stirrups which help a lot. I flip the front chest ov the bibs down for long climbs to prevent sweating and flip it back up for downhills. I wear a tight "tek wear" long sleeve for the base layer. (It was 10-15 bucks at kohls) and a long sleeve jersey over that and a fila windbreaker shell. The front zipper is great for changing temps. The only thing that gets cold are feet and thumbs at speed. Specialized wool trainer socks cured the cold feet and i'm still looking for the right gloves. I have a black diamond pullover made out of scholler dynamic fabric inmypack if it gets real cold or a really long downhill. That schoeller fabric is INSANELY wind and waterproof and comfortable. BD discontinued the shirt but the scholler fabric is available from other mountain brands.

yeah, he can't even walk his bike down the trail! LOL
