Show off your Mountain Bike!!!

I've always liked the bike (Stumpjumper) but hated it's nickname, lol. Dunno why, just sounds wrong, like it's missing an appendage.

This goes out to you and everyone else!!!! I need Help Ladies and Gents. I work through during the week in Monticello Utah. On my way home I drive through Moab, which needless to say has a ton of bike shops. I am not procrastinating, just thought of a last minuet gift for valentines day for my better half. She is what got me into biking and has a huge passion for it.

......get to the point. I want to stop on the way home and pick her up a sweet biking video. This one that JPneely post is awesome but wanted to get some advice. I remember growiing up skateboarding and loved the videos with the best soundtracks, versatile terrain/tricks, cinematography, and so forth. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve
p.s. i leave tomorrow midday

 

Kansas

nice kevin, im sure your going to love the stumpy with the new pedals. You should pick up a shock pump too! or atleast take it to the shop and see if they will help you set the sag.

i also agree with where the trail ends! great movie. Strength in Numbers was a good recent movie too, its got a wider variety of riding. But where the trail ends is just epic!

 

Forgot to mention that I ordered a shock pump yesterday too .

They guy I bought the bike from said he deflated one chamber on the fork to help compress it for shipping.

 

nice! then your pretty much set. have fun with the bike

 

Cant freekin wait! Ive got a night ride planned for sunday night

 

Also i love "Seasons" and "The Collective" two of my favorite ride videos.

 

hmm, i heard they were pretty great. ive never ridden one but a guy i talked to said it was the bike that turned him to 29ers. he was riding a mid travel jamis, i forgot what model.

with that said ive been skeptical of the giants compared to trek, spec, SC, yeti and of those. the seat tube angle online says it 73* which is normal. i think its probably one of the effective and actual or something like that. head tube angle looks normal for a 29er too, maybe its in the rake/offset? idk haha

 

it seems like every video i watch has Tacomas in them. is that the official truck of mountain biking? haha

 

I bnotice that too, I have also seen a couple on PB with old rangers.

 

i used to have an Xterra so i never really noticed anything but those. but now that i have this truck i see them so much more than i ever saw my old vehicle. and in cooler environments too.

 

I have seen tacomas in everything lately .... shows,movies, trailers, commercials...etc
