Re: music you heard at BM this year
That's about the worst I've heard them, actually. Part of the problem is the range is too broad for these shitty cameras to capture it. It's very different to hear it without the distortion. Still, that's a pretty shitty track. As an aside, you are aware that trance is VERY repetitive music, right?...

Re: music you heard at BM this year

Re: The Car Thread
You are correct, the riders will need to be in approximately the same gear, or some will not be able to contribute. But people have different pedaling habits. Some are "spinners", meaning they pedal fast with low torque, say 80 RPM. Others, like me, are "stompers" and are happier at 65 RPM. With tw...
