Show off your Mountain Bike!!!

Oh, and the bottom of my ass is really sore from the seat, is there anything I can do do combat that other than to just man up?

 

Get yourself a bib with a built in chamois, or shorts with removeable chamois and some "butt butter". I know it sounds ghey, but it's what every serious rider uses. I prefer the bibs myself because I can wear whatever shorts I want over it, plus I road bike as well so I'm used to them.

 

I noticed the same thing, lots of dudes rockin' Taco's in those vids...

 

Just recently got into this sport. I had an 2000 Trek 800 sport that I bought years ago and got it up and going again. We have a real nice MTB park (all single track trails) about 10 miles from my house and I've been hitting it hard recently. I can see that I am going to end up spending some serious money as the hobby hits me harder and harder. Wish I had a few pics of the bike just for the hell of it but I don't. Maybe I'll post a few later.

 

this^ it definitely helps, you could also try and different seat. i dont really have any recomendations since ive only ridden on two different types though haha

Thanks for the tips, just ordered

Pearl Izumi Men's Liner Short,Black,Large

these.

 

if you guys are free then watch strength in numbers! its playing again now...im about to go ride after watching it! haha

 

I actually have 2 sets of those. For the price, they work pretty good. I have found they aren't very good for anything more than 2 hours.

 

I just watched the trailer for it. it looks sweet! when does the actual movie come out?
Edit: nevermind found it. comes out today looks like

 

It's a bad ass movie.

 

Im wanting a full sus bike now, I also want to move to somewhere with mountains

 

yup and i think its still playing today!

its so much different than a hardtail. this is a pretty sweet video to show what even a 5" travel bike can do...it is coming from two of the best freeriders out there though haha

Went out for a ride yesterday..a little wet out as its been raining for the last week, but I just needed to get out.

Damn that green moss sure is slippery!

a pretty cool creek crossing


a damn porcupine scurried up a tree right in front of me


Bike loaded up..ready to head home. I can fit at least 4 bikes on the back this way.

 

sweet bike rack. i was just thinking about making something like that but wasnt sure how to go about it. i might build it like you did

 

here's another angle of the bike rack. I literally slapped it all together one morning before a ride from scrap wood laying around. The top cross member is a piece of old molding, but the angles worked nicely.

 

nice! is it connected to the bed at all? I thought about adding something to connect it to the bed rails but that might be too much work if i want to take it out for other stuff

 

About half way down the uprights I attached a couple of 2x4 blocks so that it would give me the depth to ratchet strap it to the rear loops. That's it, held in place by one strap. But very secure once under a little tension. The loose end of the strap I just returned around the bottom of the frame to hold the bike in place.
I got the idea from a rack I saw on one of the Pinkbike videos.

 

cool. ill probably try something this week

 

Is that movie still playing? Might just be my computer, but its not working
