thats a sick paint job man . i love to ride, not too into it though. got a pretty decent bike. dont know enough about it to even know that brand of bike. looks real nice though
lucky u.. u live in canada.. i live in china in a city with no. mountains.. it is basically flat land.. i havent downhilled bike for 3 years.. i had to sell my v10 santa cruz after 3 months and only 3 rides on a trail.. im moving to canada at the end of this year and i am planing to do some seriouse catching up in downhill biking.. how is the northshore
(i use to downhill in the philippines around dormant volcanos hahaha)
i used to race (not professionaly) just local XC races ,but no one i know rides anymore and my bike is in complete disrepair everything needs replacing except the frame and the handlebars,i got a gary fisher big sur,it was a sweet ride.id like to get a freeride bike but not for downhill the guys i used to ride with,we'ed get high and make screwdrivers in our bottles and go urban ridding,cant be beat for good times and laughing at your buddies crashing.
I used to ride more, mostly just singletrack/fireroad stuff but it's been busy the last couple years and the bike hangs on the rack. The big reason was last time I rode, it was in some kind of chalk quarry or something and had all these awesome, super smooth hills for riding and jumping. When you bailed, chalk would get into everywhere on you and the bike. I didn't want to ride it again until I cleaned it cause that stuff is murder on bearings, but had no access to an air compressor and no where to really clean it. It still hangs dirty today.
I plan on cleaning and riding this year, after I move and settle some things in my life (all good things).
My ride:
97 Cannondale F1000 hardtail in mango orange
05 Bomber MXComp 100mm (so glad to lose that awful headshok)
XT v-brakes, rear derailr
LX cranks, hubs,frt derailr
Raceface bb, sun rims
Cane Creek headset, Kore stem, Ameoba bars, Sachs twistshift, blah blah blah
