WALKER'S WORLD: What's he saying?

Walker's World, where we think The Sopranos should've ended with Tony finding salvation in mountain biking.

Walker "the Doctah!" Thompson is IN, and he started the week off thinking big picture thoughts on the ride, relationships and the journey of it all. He has also developed a sure-fire way to tell whether or not you're a mountain biker. (Hint: it has to do with the amplitude of that whining noise coming out of your mouth.)

And finally, it is Friday, and that means two full days for Walker to ride an insane amount more than you or me.

All this and more can be found in the drama, excitement and wisdom of As The Chainring Turns.

NOOBS: Who's new?

(Psst! Post your profile pictures! We can't include you in Noobs if you don't have one.)

FLICK FINDS: Enjoy these rides...

This week's Flick Findings lead off with a prototype video for Great Outdoor Provision Co., an outfitter in North Carolina. YourMTB.com community noob grillod85 shot it over the winter of 2006 at Chapel Hill High School.

Site member rojac68 shot our second movie treat of the week at the 24 Hours of Big Bear in West Virginia. It's a classic look at the choas and madness involved with the LeMans style start.
