I wish I was as funny on the fly. I have to sit and think of that stuff for minutes at a time!

Maybe it wasn't a good fit? Maybe It wasn't enough, people can change jobs, that's all this was.

I think this a critical failure of understanding on the part of Mazze. The company's products barely differ, bikes roll down the hill, you pedal, parts act slightly differently but they all preform the same function. Ads are used to differ the product, to bring up how slight variations do "make their product the best", because the company is it it for profit, to succeed, not to really challenge the sport or something of that nature, it is simple they want to get paid. Pro riders are just a walking ad space, and tester of the product, they get paid or provided with bikes and because of this will promote their brand, as they should. However I'm not accusing the Specialized of doing anything that other companies in the past have done. Mazze here has simply failed to understand capitalism 101, the bike company exists to make money! Other wise bikes would be free, their goal is to sell the most bikes they can, using various methods, such as this ad. This is how it has always been and will continue to be. Keep asking questions but don't expect ads to change, because companies have to differentiate their product, in a market with a hell of a lot of the same thing.

Very pretty bike, too bad its a price way more than I'd ever consider paying for. I'm all for innovation but it seems like bikes are going for the most expensive options, if I wanted to spend money worrying about grams on grams, I'd be a roadie (not that I shitty on their skill but we've all met those weight weenies). Also homeboy's tattoo is proof that if life's about decisions he made a wrong one.

With these trails be gravel heavy?

That's Rob Warner and if you don't like him turn your bike in.

I agree, looked like Graves had it after the spill, but then cut to him off the bike, how'd it happen?

The coverage on sportsnetone is really really bad. Cool that its on but not Rob Warner.

Has Gwin raced here and gotten a top ten? I mean he's on point but he's done well in a season without Hill. To be honest I'm betting Sam will have some rust, has raced in a while. I'm gonna say GM just because that dude is rad!

I agree therapy is great but also talk to someone at a running store, they know their stuff so well.

That's cool, really informative and interesting because I do the majority of these things. My only question is: Why is Jamie running in skate shoes? In no way can that be good for his feet! (Sorry ex-shoe store employee). I hope that just a staged photo, for his arches and knees sake.
