well when radek went from having pinkbike be a small website for calgary, to an international mtb site, he needed more than the 2 servers he had, and so he had to transfer the old site on to the new servers. therefore losing the date data and reseting the everything to 2004. this pic was from 1999 btw

Ok, I was looking at my oldest pic and i got one that is dated from 1969 even if it isn't possible.

haha funny story with those, when radek hired the company my dad was working for to help build the new site there was a new guy who was more or less clueless and messed up the code, so now a few hundred pics are dated 1969. well this is what my dad says anyway

Dear the past I have travelled from the future , things are getting worse . Follow these steps and you can change your future before it's too late . 1. Do not invent 29 and 27.5 inch wheels , too much arse ache . And 2. Go ride and just have fun before it's too late . Happy riding people from the past !!!

Yo um 27.5 inch wheels were around 30 years ago when mountain bikes were just starting to develop.
