Nice, I can't believe I missed the butte this year! how was it, was it as wet as last year? is the MSC doing okay without Mike and his massive Malamute?

You ever need a heads up on where to go.. hit me up.

Its in Fort Collins, Lory state park overlooking horsetooth resivior i lived in boulder for 4 years going to school... C+ place for mountain biking. Ft Collins gets an A- in my humble opinion. Rippin town for trail riders.

Damn Lucky on the CKs. I just build up a pair with the same rims, WTB hubs (not recommended, the rear axel is already sloppy). You CAN use the short spoke nipples for the fore drilled rims, keeping in mind the extra MMs have to be made up with spoke length if spoke calc uses the 16mm nipples as default on those rims. Either work great. I'm proud of the riders that don't accept machine built, generic wheels. These have soul; and will last longer then any Mavic out of the box wheel if they are build by a great builder, the parts are easy to find if the chain goes into the spokes in Moab (it happens to the best of us, ride long enough and you're limit screw will back out), and you get cool points for running custom stuff. And you'll need to will those hubs to your next of kin...

sick. balls.

There is a god.

Monarch Pass ride. You can get a shuttle to 11,000 feet to monarch pass on highway 285, then ride 50 miles to the town of Salida at 5,000 feet. Over those miles, its only about 1500 feet of climbing. Great day, it can be done from 1 day from Denver. Highly recomended.

I had to give you props for that! Shamefully, I ride a road bike in the winter only, while the trails are snowed in.

thats how the trail looks when im bonking, thats sik

I have those gloves! bitches! lol

I got a .308 BoatTail for that one right there...

Yes, he musta split those up the back after doing that! I'm not hating , I'm jealous this kid rips. Who says Mormons are boring, Utah has epic riding, epic riders, and teens with black tights and purple shirts that listen to iggy pop...

did you get those tires at whole foods? They look to be tofu based... possibly wasabi flavoring. mmmmmm

The thing that gets respect, it ballz. Ballz man. -Tony Montana

The handplant would hurt, I'd suggest the belly-flop dismount. He looks to be well padded up there.

Not POD yet and there have been shopped pics?! This is long overdue. POD. I'd eat raw babyflesh to hit this line.

c+ POD, but a POD for sure. Dude looks like a tiger on the hunt. Bad azz.

He must go thought the course with a chainsaw first, to clip all the branches in his face. This is lame. I cant' believe someone spends time doing this. Headwinds must be especially tough. This should NOT be POD.

This is one of my faves for sure...

Got it! I agree brass is the verey best for extreme riding. A lot depends on our wheels!! By the way what does Polecam mean?

Nipples will shear off if the wheel is build with spokes just a hair short. This makes it so that part of the nipple is hollow. Spokes need to be long enough to fill the nipple at least to flush with the wall of the rim. If a bunch of them failed at once thats my guess. POLECAM on bro!

I ruined my boxxer at Keystone in about 6 days of riding. Thanks god for warranties, I blew out the internals. We are in a transitional period of our sport, bikes have gotten lots of sweet travel and they are relatively light - but not as durable as we'd like. Its frustrating, because these days pushing limits on yor bike is expensive. Getting DH stuff warrantied seems harder than with road or XC, its like the comanies know that were killin the stuff or somethin. Pushing limits on your snowboard just make going to the doctor more expensive.

so you are out a grand on a new fork?

Lol. Boulder Cops. Why did they show up? Small penis syndrome, basic american cop haters. In our country, police are the bullies that can't get jobs relating to being productive. So they hate. I have so many goddamn Boulder cop stories, and I'm from California. I served four years under the Peoples Republic of Boulder, its a fun place but the guards are a*sholes.

Super Stylee, socks included

Nor-Co ripper. My people.

Do you like those rims? I killed a pair in just six days at keystone, partly it was having soft springs and still hittin stuff. But anyway they dinged up really bad, normally I can run hoops for a couple of seasons. Thoughts?

Looks like you're floating on the course marking tape... awesome.

Bricamp, I wouln't have guessed it either. People are people, we more alike than different for sure.

Fuc*in rippin. Looks like the kinda decent that makes your eyes make high speed tears of joy!

Thx for the nor-cal love. You ever want to ride epic trails in Colorado hit me up.

two fingers on the rear brake?

This is not the kind of camradarie that I enjoy...

Its on the southside, and roughly follows the panoramic highway from Mtn Home Inn to Pantoll. Eldridge is on the north side of tam, near the top is North Side singltrack.... I got a ticket on it in '91, so pick your times carefully.

Troop 80 trail, Mt Tam, California. Its smooth and ripping. Its not legal, so you have to pick and choose your times.

YES I!

Up tenderfoot, cypress to Gravity car to Railroad Grade, to West Point. Out Rock Springs Single to the Mountain Theater, then Down Cataract to Laurel Dell. Out High Marsh to Upper Berry, to potrero meadows. (Safety Check). Out Northside to Eldridge, then down Eldridge to Indian, Corte Madera Ridge Fire Road to Huckleberry. Down Huckleberry to Lower SML, up Sunrise Lane to Upper SML, Sigletrack above Camino Alto, then down Alto Bowl to the house. 30 miles, 4,800 feet of Climbing. Many Safety Checks.

Nightride:

Up tenderfoot, gravity car to RR.
RR to west point, then out rock springs single to the mtn theatre.
Down easy grade, tippytied past Pantoll (no brakes, no shifing, no coasting please...STEALTH
Down Deer park, then had an epic Safety Meeting at the top of Coastal. I hit a layer of fog right at the trailheasd that was so thick, I turned off my headlamp and just ran the bike light. I went up the road (I always feel bad about riding though green gulch at night) and then down into homestead singltrack. 25 miles, 4,500' of climbing. Three bowls, no flats, lots of opportunites for high speed air.

gettin' some...
