Oh Noes! Ive Gone and done it!

[jeepxj3]

Picked this up Friday:




This this on Saturday!!! (Sorry for the limited shots I was having WAY too much fun to stop more)




My buddy Cyrus on a Stinky 2-4 (I think im better at taking the pix than he is )






Some other guys on the same section




New rig is a BLAST!!! Only 1 big change that needs to be done to the bike... Different front fork or chang out the springs. The springs arent really rated for my weight and I tend to bottom it out over really hard drops.

Dirty Harry's Scott should get a promotion with all the crap I have bought off of him this year...

Seven Springs Bike Park, they SHOULD have 4 more trails open by the end of September. Its nice to see the trail crew actually working on the trails as soon as they see a problem.

I kept telling Joe, its a whole different expierence riding a bike thats actually ment for the kind of abuse those trails can throw at you. Ryan, let me know if you want to head up there sometime, I typically go from like 12ish to 5.

i'm always up for going, but i'll stay off the downhill. the way my paragon is built right now it just won't take it. if we go ride the park i'll put the old wheels back on too.

Do you shave your legs to cut wind resistance now?

Just rent a bike, no sence in destroying your bike for that. You will have more fun that way, besides how will you keep up with me on the expert terrain!

LOL, i'm already scared man

i know you just got your new bike, but if you want to go hit some XC trails let me know. i'll be up for some this week after work.

do you have a light yet? i have a trail rat you can borrow, but it sucks compared to the HID.

and i'm really glad i didn't go LED. i just can't see going less bright than HID, even if they are lighter.

[jeepxj3]

the rear hub on my Fisher is bent, I have to go get it looked at first. When the rear wheel is spinning you can see all the sprockets out back wobble. Its probably from doing the DH on it.

WOW, that's crazy. i don't know how you do that lol. that's not even something that takes a beating like that.

should be warrenty.

just go buy some AC's

[YZEATER]

looks fun, but seeing you guys talk about the price of those is ridiculous (to me anyway) . that's almost as much or the same as what i paid for my dirtbike, 04 yz450f, brand new.

i got my cheap walmart bike when you guys wanna do some hard stuff. lol.

nice! My boss tried talking me into buying a dirtbike too, I was thinking more so along the lines of a supermoto, but id probably break it and not be able to ride it home.

oh, and anytime you want to rock your wally world rig out on the trails, Id be more than happy for you to join, should prove to be quite entertaining!

we're riding tomorrow. J's hifi looks like this at the moment



so he's going to ride his full rigid mongoose..... should be VERY entertaining lol

[jeepxj3]

WTF? Does he have his bike carrier mounted to the wall?

[2002wranglerX]

WTF? Does he have his bike carrier mounted to the wall?

lol no, it's just his rack sitting on it. we're building bike stands. decided tonight as we upgraded kim's bike

her bike got a race crank, carbon bars, select stem, new seat, race stem, race disc wheels, and some beefier mythos tires

not bad upgrades for freeeee.

but ya, defenitely need some stands.


oh with all this $ you're spending, did you get a light yet?

[gearhead313]

hehehehe... yep, thats my hifi... finally I get to use my living room for something constructive! I have a lot of new bling going on though, so need to get everything collected and start installation




I wanted a stinky SO Bad when i first went to DH to buy my hifi. I still think it would be a blast, but for what I have now, 5" of travel front/rear and hopefully a sub 25lb bike is fast enough! I couldnt imagine going faster on something like a stinky! I just need to get more comfortable in the air and then i'll think about getting something.

[jeepxj3]

Bigger suspension makes the air time more comfortable. Its easier to make mistakes on and recover, I cant tell you how many times I have landed the stinky squirley and rode out of it... Jumps I would have yard-saled on my Fisher, come out clean! Its an amazing bike to ride.

[CRCs Reality]

Figured I'd ressurect the old thread to say . . . . .
Be careful out there!!

That is going to leave a mark.
