It’s Red Bull Hardline weekend! And it’s looking like it might be a terrifyingly wet one. Good luck to all the racers giving it their best.

I read the title of the Thread of the Week and assumed it was someone wanting buying advice for a massive helmet. 🤣
"Browse the Classifieds for a bargain!"
News stories going for £0. Definitely bargins!
Haibike finally produce a bike that doesn't make you vomit on sight... then give it THAT paintjob! 😀
That was a lot of scrolling to get to the comments, think I’ve got an RSI in my thumb 🙁
Looking at the weather forecast I think we'll be lucky if Hardline goes ahead. And if it does, best of luck to the poor suckers who entered.
Can I recommend some protection if you're waving your BigBoy around? Ripeur 2 gloves could save a lot of blood if you make a silly mistake (ask me how I know this...)
From the Red Bull website
Due to the extremely high winds, the decision has been made to cancel tomorrow’s Red Bull Hardline qualifiers. This is to ensure the safety of the riders which is of utmost importance.
As ever, the weather conditions in the Dyfi Valley are proving to be changeable. We are closely monitoring the situation ahead of the Red Bull Hardline live finals on Sunday, which is currently going ahead as planned.
Is that Trunk bag big enough for a laptop?
I like the Canyon, the Haibike however...is gopping.
Haibike = gopping, always has.
Typical July, always a wet week or more, spring weather is better. Hardline is lethal enough without putting it on in unpredictable July.
I’ll be honest, if you painted that Haibke and Canyon the same colour and stood them side by side I think I’d pick the Haibike on looks alone. And I don’t think I have ever said that about a Haibike before!
Terrible paint job though.
I really hope the seatpost is a reference to Rainier Wolfcastle.
