Show off your Mountain Bike!!!

I used to live in a high-rise in Chicago after my messengering days. There were 8 floors of parking below where the apartments began. The bike rack was on the 4th floor, on my way to work, in the loop, I would take my bike up the elevator to the top of the parking garage and haul ass down 8 floors. Every now and then I would pass a car leaving for work, they would give me this "Are you fricken' crazy" look.

 

haha thats awesome!

 

Very interesting stats above^^^^^^^^^. I'm not too surprised with the clown wheel number increases. I am surprised that the fs shipments declined that much however.

 

That urban downhill is sick. I caught some of it on the x games I think.

I use to do something similar. Me and a buddy had longboards and on Sunday's (no traffic) we would go downtown, climb up to the top of the parking garages and haul ass down on our boards. It was a blast

 

At my old dorm at USF we had a 8 story parking garage that was a blast to bomb down as well as some good spots for some urban assault

 

Watch for the dog.

I'm thinking about taking my bike to work and hitting the local trails on the way home. Does anyone here ride alone ever?

 

Charles, any update on that 5.5? Got cranks installed yet?

this is a pretty cool video

 

^sick vid. I think I posted it a while back but it's still good every time. I'm jealous of all the guys that get to ride downhills.

 

I need to join a Mountain bike club

 

do it! i havent joined the local club by my school yet but i have ridden with them and talk to them at the shop all the time and they are a bunch of cool guys. im definitely joining when i get back to school after the summer. im sure youll get to meet a bunch of new people and find new trails

 

I just need to get out and ride more, I wanna try out some of the trails in South Florida

 

yeah i feel ya. i havent been able to get out anywhere near as much as i havent wanted too partly because i dont have my truck with me this year but im gonna right like everyday this summer if its possible

 

those guys are so good!

 

All the time. A caveat. Tho I ride alone, there are often others on the same trail. Sometimes not. So it's important not to go balls to the wall if you're by yourself.

 

good to know. Its hard to always find someone to ride with.

 

Same here on the solo rides. I ride trails at night alone sometimes. Kinda spooky cool thing but more fun at night with others. Daytime really doesn't matter, always someone out riding most places around here.

 

One of the guys from the shop just went to a carbon trek remedy. i just saw the pic on facebook he is so sick, really fast racer it took him 8 minutes flat to do a trail that took like 45 minutes to climb. i did it in 18 minutes and the slowest was 30 min...i think 2nd place was in around 9 minutes. its crazy

 

Thats my dream bike

 

Got loaded up at lunch. 3 1/2 hours till I get to ride
