Alabama Mountain Biking Thread

nope, can usually only see the person directly in front unless we are super close in a train.

 

Table tops are as easier as it gets my freind. Next time we will session on the table tops.

 

Maybe we can run a train on Trey next time

 

yeah but table tops with a speedy steep incline approach are not easiest.

 

Theres 1 that was quite steep that i tried to roll. It still lifted me. Im hoping on my own bike ill have a little more balls to hit that stuff.

 

I just have 0 experience going airborne intentionally, aside from some small little hops. to be "sent" because of speed is still scary to me.

 

Let me get my confidence back and ill start towing you in. I did clear that big table on the first straight at the track on my 20" last time we went.

 

yeah you were getting more air than I ever wanted to lol.

 

And you can roll things that make me face plant. We all have our strengths and weeknesses. So you help teach me to roll things and stay further back on the bike and ill help get you in the air

 

haha deal. I like rolls and drops, can't wait to go do some larger rock rolls in NC.

 

I don’t know what the drive would be like for you. Brickyard bikes in phenix city might have a ride for you. If you like trek.

 

3 hours south of me. I dont mind trek, i had one before. It just seams like all the bikes they offer in my price range are XC bikes

 

That’s correct for most brands, xc is just cheaper. I hate the pitch didn’t work out for you dude.

 

Its all good. The Line is slacker than the pitch by .5°. And it has massivly better parts and more more fork travel.

 

The Roscoe is similar to a fuse. Almost in between XC and trail. I have my son on a 7 and it’s got a 1x12, dropper post and an entry level air fork. Though I don’t know there supply. They have a Facebook and are still selling steadily. I say call and just ask. It is slim pickings for riders right now.

 

Ive got an $800 max budget. Roscoe is way out of thay

 

Also maxes your budget. But it’s a good one for what you want to start doing.

 

Oh ok. Well be patient this will all settle. Especially once 2021 bikes start dropping on the scene. For what it’s worth I picked up my sons for $1100 out the door so there is some room for offers. Even brand new.

 

Miss yall too. Except Trey. We ate 2 racks of ribs at Dreamland last night. Was the best 28 bucks I've spent in a while.

 

so found out something pretty sweet...we have an old golf course that is being converted to a multi use facillity, which includes a 4 mile singletrack loop for mountain biking. this is right on my way home from work so will be easy to knock out 8-12miles each day after work for good saddle time.

I knew all this, but here's where the "sweet" news comes in. Here's the picture they shared of the plans. So the single track is almost the same color as the 10k running course so I assumed it went right beside it the whole way...



WRONG. found out this in light blue is actually the course!
