    2 months old and cracked carbon

    Nobody here likes to read that, I am sure. I'll alleviate your concerns right now - it's not a $7k jetski hull. It's a bicycle, quite a bit less than $7k. Pic of said bike: See those seat stays? Pretty skinny, eh? The whole thing weighs 21 lbs with the heavy leather saddle. I bought it...

    A large hydroelectric dam on the Columbia River has recently been discovered to have a serious crack in one of the spillway monoliths - 2 inches wide, 65 feet long, causing visible bowing of the dam at the very top...

    Krash Industries & Footrocket

    I want to give a thorough product review of the Krash Footrocket hull I ordered as well as of the transaction itself. Perhaps one thing that quite a few people on this forum know that I have been waiting for this Krash hull for nearly a year. I don’t think it’s fair to view the deal through...

    What MTB to get and how much to spend?

    I'm looking at getting a mountain bike for trail use. This will for sure not be used for on-road riding. I have a Trek FX 7.3 for that and it gets plenty of use. I want to take it camping with the kids and ride non-serious trails with them. I may very well get into it a little heavier myself...

    I don't think it really needs to be said....but THUMBS UP to Jetmaniac!

    As always, Chris is a pleasure to deal with. He's got what I need, ships it out the same day, gets things to me within 2-3 days (even though I am about as far away from him as possible in the contiguous US), and he even has install support. Thanks.

    2013 Pacific City Spring Break Freeride Thread

    I'm trying to gauge interest for a 2013 Spring Break Freeride in Pacific City, Oregon. As usual, this is an extremely small "event", if it could even be called that. In the past few years, it's been just a small handful of riders getting together and having a good time. 2-3 days of solid...

    Freestyle Big v-wake carnage

    Competition weekend in Pateros, WA- we had a nice v-wake going and I went a little too big, too flat, too violent. Tweaked my ankle, compressed the f&ck out of my knee, compressed a 2.5 inch pole shock pad so much that my bars smashed the hood, broke three Cold Fusion motor mounts, pulled the...

    Profound Dynamics / FearMyWRX

    I want to give a quick shout-out to Profound Dynamics. Kurt makes a few different things, but the one I am familiar with is the GoPro lanyard he sells for ten bucks. Very solidly made and secures that expensive little camera. Fast shipping, too.

    Other 4 Skis stolen at Montalivet

    I just ran across this on fb. Four skis were stolen from a campground in Montalivet, including Federico Bufachi's just about brand-new Lightweight.de Revolution ski. Also his Superjet and a couple other Roundnoses. That really sucks, especially for such a nice setup.

    Freestyle Little Memorial Day riding with an X-Star

    A friend brought out a 2003 Mastercraft X-Star to troll for us. One of my favorite flat water riding experiences of the last year or two. It was also only the second time I've been out since breaking my finger. I hope the video works, posting the link from my phone. My first time editing...

    Custom/Hybrid Pump shoe carnage

    I was riding yesterday while a friend on a boat was taking a bunch of video. Last night I looked at the footage and saw something funky in one of the upside down pics. It looked mp like my intake grate was hanging down. So I took a look at the ski and found that the grate was indeed just hanging...
