Yeah USA! Leading again... just like in obseity, national debt, polution, incarceration rates, homicide, social inequality... Sorry, but you leave yourself wide open for it when you live up to the American 'rampantly nationalistic' stereotype on the internet :) Gwinn is on fire right now. Awesome to see a changing of the guard, but also the talent that still exists in the old guard. The WC is getting better every race!

I find that my current goggles push down on my nose which is a bit uncomfortable and restricts breathing so the lower profile and carved away nose area of these Shore goggles are really compelling features for me. Couple of questions about the lens options: 1. Does the double-layer lens option confer a significant advantage for MTB use or is that more to deal with the temperature extremes of snow sports (or perhaps if you ride somewhere really cold)? 2. Is it worth going polarized? I confess I don't really know what effect it has.

If you love your 2010 Boxxers, as you say you do, why do you care if the 2011 Boxxers are different?

This looks really great. 66 deg HA and 13.5" BB height. Uninterrupted seat tube that looks a little less slack than the Endorphin. On paper it sounds perfect (for me). Seriously interested in buying one of these.

I'd be curious how the Range stacks up against the Reign X - are they considered in the same category? Does it feel solid enough on DH type terrain or does it get a bit flexy? Also, anyone know the BB height?

Looks identical to the 2010 Team DH but they are saying that it's 1.5lbs lighter... I wonder where the weight went? Still a Boxxer Team I think so it's not that. Maybe the frame is lighter.

I wonder if the Team DH has a Boxxer WC or Team for 2011. It looks like it has Saint brakes rather than the Elixirs, which is a good upgrade IMHO. Looking forward to seeing the full specs.

I'm curious if the SLC knees slip down while riding. I love wearing the 661 Kyle Straight pads but my legs overheat in the full neoprene 'knee-sock'. These look really comfortable as they have an open back.

It's a good way for people who haven't done it before to access the sport and it's a good way for existing bikers who are new to town to meet riders and learn the trails.
