The renewal of Pinkbike.com

Did you guys have the chance to take a good look at the new Pinkbike.com? It’s kinda awesome! Apart from a better organized homepage, they’ve now embraced the community-thought. It’s possible to add users as a friend. Allowing you to follow their photo or video-stream. Yeah, you read that correctly, you can upload video’s to Pinkbike.com. We now have both the Photo-of-the-day (POD) and Video-of-the-day (VOD). I’m glad you still get the chance to comment and rate comments. Badly rated comments now are hidden behind a link. Saves you the annoyance of reading kids shouting their ignorant heads off.

I miss a way to find highest rated photo’s and video’s, also I don’t like it that the pre-select pictures uploaded on today. Usually that means I have to click on “all pictures of this month”. They could have pre-selected showing pictures uploaded since my last visit… huh!

But very good news: we can embed video’s on our websites now, Pinkbike’s gone youTube!

Back home after a short trip to Liége, Belgium. Tomorrow Red Bull is hosting another cool urban event; called Stairway to Hell. It’s a slopestyle event om what’s maybe the longest stairs of Europe. They invited about 36 riders and I’m one of those… starting to think I didn’t belong there in the first place. *grin* I mean, I could have come down safely I think… but in the midst of backflips, tailwhips, cancans and superman-seatgrabs… I know I had nothing to bring there. Now in what flick does Nathan Rennie say: “where boys got separated from the man… and apparently I’m not a man!” Auch my poor ego…
