WALKER'S WORLD: What's he saying?

Walker's World: where Walker's new wish list contains a mountain bike Transformer.

Who wants to start the week off with Walker whispering sweet MTB nothings into their ears? Uh, everyone, duh! Monday brought us another of Walker's special Masterpiece Podcasts, where all things MTB were discussed, questioned, and yelled about. Walker then wanted to know if you are ready for the badassness of Kokanee CrankWorx. And finally, with the weekend upon us, Walker broke down his plans for another typically insane two days of riding; this weekend he's off to conquer Snowmass, Colorado.

Find all this and more in the number one blog in history...of YourMTB.com...written by guys named Walker...who live in Durango: 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: Contrasts in levels of execution

In our newest Weekly Ride Flick Finds, we present two videos that display the simple yet stark contrast between execution and a lack thereof. Our first comes from dcutter, who shot a great clip of a huge drop-in at the Winter Park Crankworx slopestyle contest last week. Using his Canon s600, he caught a stomach-dropping launch, perfectly executed. On the other side of the spectrum, we have Zachary1873's video, which effectively proves that hesitation causes accidents, and accidents can be entertaining. Two videos, one lesson: while execution looks better, if you're going to *#$% up, we'll still enjoy it.
