Well there we have it. Still rollable. When I looked at it last, I thought the roll looked sketchy vs trying to drop it.

Then again, the bike looks to be a 29r, so don't go trying this on a little old 26r or one of those tweener 27.5 bikes, there could be no happy ending.

Yep that is a 29'er (Instinct) in full XC mode (no dropper). Also rider is young/fearless/less breakable. The photo shooter who is old and breakable rolled it on a 27.5, but with dropper post, more travel and less style. ;-)

To be fair, while the roll was pretty smooth, neither of us was too stoked to launch it so kudos to those that do…

Haven't ridden floppy since November but when I did, I rolled the entrance drop and it didn't feel too sketch. Has it eroded a lot over winter? Guess I'll just look next time up.

Out riding last night, happened to be taking some (bad) iPhone shots at Floppy entrance. Still rollable, pretty smooth…

Different Bike North Vancouver is looking to hire a mechanic for the summer season. Some experience is required but we prefer someone with a good attitude and a willingness to learn over someone who knows everything and can’t be taught. Duties will include bike building, general maintenance and some higher level wrenching if your skills allow. The service shop is open to the sales floor, so expect to interact with the public at least a little bit. You may also be called upon to help on the shop floor in the busiest moments, so some sales ability is an asset. The service shop gets very busy in the summer months so ability to multi-task, work under pressure and stay focussed while getting pulled in a million different directions is essential.

Located at the base of the North Shore mountains, we are a mountain bike focussed shop with a strong and growing presence in road and commuter bikes. Salary will be commensurate with experience. We’re looking for someone to work full-time for the spring and summer with the possibility of part-time work into September and October. Please send applications to [email protected]
