It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I met a member of pinkbike before, and got a chance to ride two of his bikes. Those things were absolute beasts! One cost him around $8500 to custom build, the other cost him around $6500.

Sure that sounds ridiculously expensive for bicycles, but he had top notch highest grade frames and equipment on them. As he told me, you ain't gonna take a 50 foot ramp with a Walmart bike without the bike snapping in half when you land and sending you to the hospital or worse.. ๐Ÿ’€
