Guy absolutely SLAYED the above, no exaggeration, no rolling, he literally skipped across the peaks all along the left side top......to.......bottom, first time riding it too, never seen anything like it. Rides a red Banshee Spitfire, anyone know the guy?
Dang, I thought that was me, but my helmet is green. ;-)Quote:

Fresh oil changes all around! Garage beer /mowing the lawn day.

Put the Lyrik (dropped down to 145mm) on the Blur TRc. Take the Tapered Revelation/Sektor hybrid bastard child from the Blur TRc and put it on the hardtail.
Fuck! I thought I had a 44mm tapered/1.5 lower headset cup in the parts bin. Nope. Cane Creek conversion cup on order now...
http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f1...h/IMG_1459.jpg
The Lyrik is near a pound heavier, but only *slightly*stiffer, but has better feeling damping. I'm thinking I'll take the weight penalty. Now, if someone wants to buy me a tapered CSU for it to swap on, I'll take it!
Also have a Reverb Stealth due to arrive in the next few days. Warranty voiding to come soon.
Prime riding right here, right now.

scrub... looks like you're running a 1x setup on the blur? What gearing are you using? Also.. what kind of storage bins are you rocking on the workbench? I've got too much crap rattling around in crappy ones, those look like they'd fit the bill nicely though.
Me racing in PA yesterday:

I thought it was big-horn sheep, but the biggest question I have with that is why the fuck do they have the jeep freeway running through goldbar then?Quote:

Also the only way the Mag7 really makes any sense. It's just an easier shuttle from the TOP of Gemini Bridges and a nice warm up before the rim climbing.
that vid has me leaning to the right in my chair

Quick trail break on Shoreline with Springsproject this afternoon. Mostly primo conditions with a few sloppy puddles though. Things down low should be good by tomorrow.

I don't usually go road biking, but it was pissin rain in PC over the weekend so I took the Land Shark out for a spin on the Rail Trail...

Been a lot like that here lately, my favorite time of year. The days are long and the long hangin fruit is ripe.

That portal video is mind bending, I would not be long for this earth if I spent much time down there!
Another one from my race a couple weekends ago.

Try to brake with one finger. You'll end up handling your bike better.Quote:

Few pictures from the ride this weekend with folks, my buddy ended up cracking the entire rear chain stay to his FSR at the beginning of UPS. Hiked bike to Kokopelli's and took it the entire way down. He could ride it down hill but his bottom bracket was about 2" from the ground, made it interesting

Still found some interesting stuff on Koko's

It finally stopped raining/snowing in Austria, so I went to do a few laps at Leogang.

A spin through Smuggler/Four Corners/Hunter Creek with great views today:

Made it back down to Virgin last weekend after several years away. Rode nearly all of Gooseberry, Little Creek, and squeezed in a run on Show Me The Money/Dig It/Grafton. Wish I still lived down there; Grafton could use a little more trail-building love. This is one of the first drops I ever did, brings back good memories.

Also, in case anyone is wondering, people are still camping around Crybaby, even though it's supposedly prohibited.
Was there last week for the first time. Gooseberry views were amazing and I would say that Grafton Mesa was my favorite riding in the area.

That fork has got to weigh more than the frame, right?Quote:
