There's a lot of buzz about the world ending on 12-21-12 (that's tomorrow). Just to be safe, we've postponed the Shreddy Awards to bring you 13 bikes you should see during your last day on this planet of ours. Some are beautiful works of art, others will make you wish the end of the world would come even sooner. Enjoy.(P.S. If the World doesn't end, the Shreddies will resume as if nothing ever happened...fingers crossed!)

A 66-degree head-angle dares you to drop in, and short chainstays (adjustable down to 16.33 inches/415mm via sliding dropouts) make sure the Nimble 9 lives up to its name.

As we approach our 10-year anniversary here at Vital MTB, we're stoked to showcase this story about Gary Perkin. Flipper, as he's affectionately known, was part of the original Littermag World Cup DH slideshows with Sven Martin, and eventually brought his photo skills and caption wit to Vital when we swapped the URL at midnight on July 31, 2009.

I'm not usually one for fancy paint jobs on a mountain bike, but this bike is complete insanity. Then,…
