Basic frame design

Check out the sweet new Foes downhill bike:


















Now, wait just a second here. I'm not a scientist, but if we move the tubes around a little while maintaining exactly the same linkage structure, we can...
















Nah, the original looks fine.

The most useful talents on the planet

I don't know if I've posted this already, but if that's going to be a problem for you, you suck anyway.

This video comes straight to us from Team Merkinator. This shit is deadly serious:



Side note: the camera is always stable, indicating the use of a tripod, self filming, and a high likelihood of the type painful, lonely isolation that leads to developing such skills as mid-folding chair walk yo-yo flipping.

I'm impressed.

New Banner/Mission Statement

We revised our banner to include our new Team Robot mission statement:

More van action



In other van news, Kyle Thomas is currently winning at life with his freshly painted, extended length 7.3 L Diesel E350. The only downside is that no self-respecting rapist would drive a van that easy to spot, so he can't really call it a "rapist van" anymore.

Selling stuff on pinkbike























I'm still trying to sell this fork on Pinkbike. After a week of less than fruitful responses, I've lowered the price all the way to $625.

Good news! I finally got a bite:

"trade for DHS 2.75 avalanche shock with 550 and 450 spring its 8.75 i2i got new oil in in about a month ago rode it once since cause of busy month. also i would send my 04 boxxer race forks"

No. Why would I want that? I would have listed the price as "one DHS 2.75 avalanche shock with 550 and 450 spring, 8.75 i2i, new oil in in about a month ago and 04 boxxer race forks" if that's what I wanted. I don't know this person, and they're from San Diego, so I'm pretty sure they're not kidding.

I'm still waiting to get offered an X-box and paintball guns. In the mean time, I'd rather keep my 2 year old, world championship-winning fork over your 6 year old, not world championship-winning fork. Still open to trading for $625 cash, though.

Sea Otter/more bacon?

Some photos from Littermag/Vital MTB's G-out project of Looch and Evan Gilsdorf at Sea Otter. Wish I was there.































In other news, I got a lot of good responses from the earlier bacon post. Some people directed me to other bacon art-forms. I learned today that you can have too much bacon. Or too much time on your hands. Or both:

My Weekend in PA

Goggles are good to remember. Unfortunately, I'm an idiot, and I forgot for them for my qualifier.




















Did I crash? Nope. Would a crash have treated my ego better than 19th place? Yes.





















On the bright side, I looked good out there.































































You may ask yourself: "Self, is it really necessary for Charlie to post three almost identical photos himself?"

Yes. Yes it is.
