This is what I liked most about the bikepark update.

Our promise to riders this season is that you will find something new in the bike park every week, be it a few new berms or a brand new piece of wood to play on. It[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;s going to be a good summer for riding bikes and pinning it at the Sun Peaks Bike Park.

One area that will be getting looked at will be the dirt jumping zone. The plan is to bring the big machine in and completely overhaul it.

The plan is to leave the big doubles. The trail crew will be rebuilding the smaller jump lines to the rider's left of the big doubles. The plan is to regrade the jump lines so you don't have to roll into the jumps on your brakes. The jump line will also take on more of a slopestyle feel.

If it's not going to be your daily rider, why not pick up an older frame and build it up?

I have a couple buddies who built pretty stellar DH bikes for less than a grand. Obi-Wan on here knows a guy selling a mint V10 for less than $2g. It's an 04' with 05' build kit, carbon Dorados, and hasn't been ridden since 05'. Something to consider, especially after seeing this thread.

:cool:

I wish I had an extra $50 to buy a new pair of shoes.

I was just out shopping for a pool skateboard and realized that I don't have $150 laying around.

We just had sprinklers installed so no disposable income.
