Now selling for only a million dollars.

Funny guy.

What the…. I didn't read nothin about shuttles in that article. What madness is this?

Jumpin Jesus on a pogo stick!!! A freaking chainsaw in that drunken mess???? That can't be safe.

No offense to the announcer dude at the finish line but PLEASE retire that guy.

Other than the crazy jumps built specifically for those psychos, I didn't see many compelling features on that mountain. I lived in Japan for a few years and did a lot of skiing. The frowned on speed and jumping. Not sure how that would translate to DH. That's pretty much all it is.

I thought it was unfair. For the bait to stay on Gee's back I thought that poor little bird would tear its legs off trying to get it. Glad he won. Well done vid. Loved the camera angles.

I think there are clips from several trails. Thought I recognized some of them but a lot I don't. I certainly have never seen that shack at 00:45. The only part I can 100% identify is Brutus, the big drop at the end.

So casual.

Is that a huge bike or tiny woman?

Dumb question…

For the life of me I can't remember which film used the Wolf Like Me song by TV on the Radio. I thought it was Seasons but I can't find it. Can anyone confirm which film it was in?

OK next stupid question. I have a couple of rims that come with the above bike. They are DT Swiss. M1700 Spline on the front and EX1750 on the rear. I am literally gear illiterate. How durable are these rims? If I'm riding things like Treasure (new trail in Squampton) should I be looking at beefier wheels? I was looking to build up a light rig but I think this frame and wheelset is a little more cross country than all mountain.

Opinions?

An axle to crown length of 490.9mm (120mm Fox 32) max is what we (RMB) specify. This covers our design parameters when we consider strength and intended usage of the frame.

I've seen a few users on the trails with 140mm models from different brands: Fox (32 chassis), Marz (44 series), Rock Shox (Revelation) that were ok with voiding the frame's warranty and happy with the performance. A 36 at 130mm travel would be about the same A-C as the above choices but you would have to ask Suspensionwerx if it is possible to lower a Float 36 to that travel amount.

Thanks.

What's the largest fork I can stuff on a 2011 CARBON ROCKY MOUNTAIN ELEMENT? Would a FOX 36 RC2 fit or is the frame too small?

First run at WBP I case a super small jump at the end of Schlayer and hear a weird noise. Thought I buzzed my tire so I stopped to adjust my shock and was amazed at what I saw.

Was the first run and other than paying over $600 for a much inferior shock I was forced to ride on the spring alone. It worked and even handled Aline in an acceptable fashion. The jumps were fine but cornering was nuts. Back wheel skipping all over the place. In hindsight probably not a great idea in light of recent events at the park.

You had SUSPENSION?!? Jealous!

I remember how much easier the Roaches became with it.

Ha. And newspaper for riding shoes I suppose. I can't fathom riding much of anything on the shore sans suspension. It's a wonder anyone survived to propagate the species.

Nice job on the new tranny on the rock drop of Roach hit! Caught me a bit by surprise (was going way too slow to clear the new "gap") and had to dismount. I was trying out the new trendy backfacing gopro so it turned out to be quite the amusing shot… For the interested:

Not a huge fan of the slomo off the jumps. Nice riding though. What kind of bike is that? I started riding Cypress on my Specialized 6" and 6" Enduro but not sure I'd be keen to do all those jumps on it.

(And by started I mean I learned to ride on it and have since moved to a big bike. Now the Enduro feels squirrly as hell)

Oct 26 had to be the best day I've ever had on Cypress.

What up with that?

Garbanzo Zone open, but the Garbo lift was closed. Opening @ 11 am had 4 inches of snow at Una Moss down to the second trail section below Garbo lift. The snowline rose over the day - mostly sunny with thin overcast. Garbo was really wet and early riders had about a 10-15 minute walk in the snow down to the garbo trails. Most of the lower trails open (Fade 2 Black, Dwayne Johnson closed), trails a little spongy, roots and some rock faces slippery, but pretty good and all with the braking bumps softened up. If it can stay reasonably warm and dry for a few days may not be a bad closing week.

We were up the Gondy on Saturday and there was at least 2 feet of snow. Top of Freight Train was super squirrley but 1/3 way down totally ridable. Will be fun as hell next year.
