Bit early innit?

Can't we wait until the new forum appears in the New Year 😀

not sure if its a bit early. Most papers etc seem to be doing their 'best of' now.

Ride of the year. last day of the season at Åre bike park. 10cm snow at the top, snowy/muddy carnage that was just hilarious

Thread of the Year: ski and Snowboard, always amusing laughing at skiers. joke! lots of knowledge and 'stoke' there. maybe the Sick bikes one actually, that was amusing.

Nobody else liked anything this year?

Thread would have got a bigger (maybe not better) response if it had been titled BOTY

War on Everyone is good but it doesn’t make the best of the year, mostly as it was 2016.

I saw it this year and a mag had it in it's list for 2017, so it's mine. Cheers for **** all though eh.

Frustration: continuing abysmal QC and reliability of dropper posts (apart from my original A1 reverb)

Horror: Trump

Norwegian ambient are so so as I think I have already checked them out.

Other good finds are: (very middle east pop music plus traditional)

Abdulla Harki (mostly wedding but check those people out!)

Omar Souleyman (interesting lyrics)

[b]Best dance of the year.[/b]

TV - Person of Interest.

PoI is ace.

At least I won something.

There are no winners here.

Depends what sort of mood you're in.

Correct.

Yet again I failed to secure the Pretend Internet Comedy Panther of the Year award.

Maybe next year.

Then enjoy the culture ... 😛

Yet again I failed to secure the Pretend Internet Comedy Panther of the Year award.

It's a strongly contested position.

Yep, that Tiger6791 is a funny guy.

I miss his dog though. 😥

Ling...? What did I miss?

The brightest lights burn for the shortest time...

I'd happily missed the Ling thread completely until clicking on this thread.

..2hrs later and i'm not even half way through the Ling thread...lucky it was a quiet day.

I'm desperately trying to remember the name of the bike company one that ran it a very close second..

Fair point! 🙂

Bail about 60-70% through, as it goes downhill fast.

If Ling from Ling's Cars is scanning the internet for mentions of the name Ling, or Ling's Cars then I have a question for Ling, but not about Ling's Cars.

Is that Ling with a hard or soft "L"?

Ling was tough going but the website is a game changer
