Show off your Mountain Bike!!!

For about $1K, you'd be better off with a hardtail with a good fork. A 29er with a decent RockShox Reba, or a Fox Float is a really good place to start. It's tough to find a decent full-suspension for less than about $1600 used.

 

DON'T DO IT! That thing is to nice to sell....

 

Picked up a Bell Super helmet today at the bike shop, going to test it out tomorrow

 

Nice mug cover...I bought a POC one a few weeks back but it made me look like a bobble head so im sticking with my azonic.

 

thanks! im asking $4000, i just had a complete rear hub overall a few days ago and put a bunch of money into it, its a medium, but im 6'1 and it fits me well, also the rear shock is not the cane creek, is a 2013 fox RC4 with kashima

 

haha i wish i could keep it, its sexy in action too

i like the new Norcos a lot they ride awesome in my opinion, when i get another downhill bike im definitly considering one i liked it way more than my Demo, the guy who runs the Downhillnews.com site lives where i live and he always gets bikes from companies to test for like a few months at a time so all my buddies and i always get to take em out and try all the new DH frames heres the video from when he had the Norco and had my team mate ride it

id make it show up other than a link if i knew how :/ sorry

i actually watched that video like 20 times before buying my aurum haha, the bike has such a sexy color scheme, you can't go wrong with an aurum, they're sweet bikes for sure, whyd you sell your status? that thing was pimped along with your demo haha

 

haha thanks man, are we friends on pinkbike how'd you know about the old demo! but its a long story...any way my guy at specialized wanted to get me and my buddy (kid in the video) riding on status's to promote the whole "baller on a budget" thing this race season so i sold my Demo to get the Status which i was totaly down for at the time cuz i got to pocket all the cash from the Demo lol but i wish i never did it because the bike was nothing like my demo it wasnt bad...but it wasnt a race bike, it rode like a freeride bike. and then not long after my guy at specialized got promoted and moved to india as the marketing director there, and the guy that took his place was zero help at all, i couldnt even get thru to him to get new pads for my helmet so i was over it and i ditched the Status after Sea Otter and was planning on ordering up a cV10 and then realized i wanted somthing i could acutualy pedal (and i wanted to finish the rear LT on the taco)...i had ridden an intense 275 at a prior demo day at our shop and loved it so i knew i wanted 650b and was going to get a bronson till i found out they were crazzy backorder cuz they had just came out so i called up intense and they hooked it up and honestly the Tracer275 is the best bike iv ever owned im gona race this years DH season on it...or cope an M9 well see haha but now my specialized guy got promoted again and is like a huge area manager for a large part of California and is trying to talk me into an Enduro, i told him not till they do a 650b one im too hooked on the big wheel army ha

 

Rode Heckler at Downieville a couple weekend ago.




Loaded up in my old Tacoma.

 

how much

 

Nice! So much fun! You must've hit it before the snow hit.

I went up last weekend, the top of Sunrise was pretty snowy, but then the rest of Butcher, 3rd divide and 1st divide were all SOOOOO BUTTERY! I f-Ing love that place.

Me n my bro up top. (I'm on the left)


And the only (albeit blurry!) picture taken before the camera died!


3rd divide was so perfect, loamy, flowy... Gotta get back there!

 

Just moved here from the east coast and I've ridden it 2x now. My last ride was cut short by 2 flats in the first 15 mins. Going up a lot next summer for sure.

 

I tried a super on and it felt really weird, maybe something I would have to get used to but I felt like the helmet would hit my backpack when riding

 

haha that's awesome, I've never ridden a 650B yet, but i really wanna check out the Bronson they seem hella sick too! What other hookups do you get on bikes? Lol yeah I think we follow each other on pinkbike or something

 

$4,000 I just had the rear hub completely overhauled

 

I've always had a Bell helmet, they fit my head quite well. I was quite surprised with this one today. I expected it not to have the greatest air flow, but it did pretty well

 

Speaking of helmets....... I found this today hahaha

What do you ride Kayla?

 

Funny you ask... hahah
I have about 4 beach cruisers I ride EVERYWHERE. I ride everyday to work, but living at the beach they all turn into rustmobiles. I should probably get a tetanus shot.
