B-Line
$850 CAD2010 B-Line. Well maintained but lets be honest, he rode hard! Wellgo pedals, Syncros Gain bars. Ride like a champ. Please remember that the B-Line is a Norco 24" wheel JR Mntn bike. Shipping is not included but I can get a VERY good rate. Reasonable offers only, NO trades.

From a guy that has broken a vertibrae not alot can be done to prevent this type of thing. Accidents do happen. I hope he only strained it and nothing more major. Heal fast Dude!

Paul Bas - First Natural Terrain Double Backflip
Pretty cool but explain to me how this is natural terrain? Props to Bas, I can't do this but natural terrain is, hmmm, natural. Pretty sweet non the less.

Jill Kintner and Bryn Atkinson join Norco Bikes
Norco has 2 great teams in place now, the World" team as well as the "Dirt" team. I have ridden both the new TR450 and the Aurum and in my OPINION, the Aurum slays the TR450. That is the way I ride, both bikes are pretty nice but there is something to be said about the plush ride of a Horst link bike over the 4 bar system Transition uses. I have a guy working for me that has felt the other way, he loves the TR450, but...he just ordered an Aurum. Before everyone goes hating on Norco for defining and helping build this sport, ride the bikes and make an honest opinion on them.

Kenda K.O.T Tire Review
I hope you aren't taking any of these comments personally Mike. I read the review and I see you have some great points. Most of these comments seem to be everyone's opinion, whether they are valid or not. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. Having ridden for more years that most Pinkbike followers seem to have been alive, I get where you are coming from. The large lugs with the stiffer compound under the soft compound should do the trick in the deep slop. Being from Alberta if you have the balls to ride in the mud this tire might just do the trick, nothing I have ever tried works! Alberta mud is like riding on a Wet Banana! Thanks for the great writeup Mike, keep up the great work.

Specialized's Status - A New DH Bike For 2012
I've had a chance to throw a leg over it and I have to say it's pretty good. I was never a fan of the Bighit but was a huge fan of the original Demo 9. While the Status is nothing like either of those, it is pretty good for the price. Nothing is wrong about this bike. Let's try to remember this is not a World Cup race bike but something for the masses. The 135 rear spacing is great because wheels are easy to find and reasonably priced.
