Can you stop making the things I can't afford seem so desirable? Jeeeeeez.

I love these bikes.

Not gonna lie that thing looks pretty awesome.

STAY THE FUCK HOME

lol

When I worked at OGC we had a shit loads of them. James @ Susworks most likely has them now.

If I could borrow the abilities of any rider for a day it would be cornering from Bryn...    jeeeeeeez.

Jeeeeesus

Is it just me or are half lid helmets just getting uglier and uglier the past few years?

Nothing like a crisp snap.

Way to gloss over the intent of the article but focusing on something completely superficial.

I dunno, but my Chromag needs a whole new drivetrain and I'm broke as fuck...

Do i risk it? I didn't see derailleurs anywhere.

Edit - ok well i found group sets lol

I'm definitely going to make sure I berate, harass, intimidate, physically threaten, mentally and emotionally abuse, shame and eventually abandon my son on the hill on our trips to the bike park so he gets the full experience and isn't driven away from the sport at all.

Wait the dad just bailed and left him in the dust?

^^

Oh yah go with this if you can, for some reason i thought he was closed right now.

Fluid function or Dunbar / Corsa would be my suggestions.

My feelings on jumping as I grow older is pretty simple. I ask two questions,

1) Why do I want to jump bigger?

For me personally the reason I want to learn how to jump is simply this: I currently can't do it.

It's an obstacle in the way of self improvement that I want to conquer and it is pretty much the last thing standing in the way of being the rider I want to be. This is the most important part of my desire to jump.

I want to roll up to jumps on the trail and not leave feeling disappointed every single time. I want to ride clean through the trails I enjoy and not ride around most of the jumps. I don't care about sending Crabapple hits or any prolines, but I'd like to be able to ride Aline and eventually case nothing. I don't really care about whips or tables or tricks, I just want to send lol.

I have cleanly ridden every single tech feature that I've wanted to ride. Whether on the first attempt or not there is nothing tech that I can think of that I want to clean still, or the ones that I can think of I know 100% that I can do it now I just wasn't feeling it the day I was there or had a crash already or something. On the flip side of that there are tons of jumps I can think of that not only did I not clear, I didn't even have the balls to send. In fact almost every trail I've ever ridden has had jumps that I haven't cleared or attempted. I know I have the skills to jump I just don't have the balls or confidence.

I would echo Craws advice and get some coaching, and I should probably take that advice myself.

Great suggestions, thanks so much.

Anyone been out to any of the small skills parks out there like Mundy or Pipeline? Mostly just super old pics on google and I'm hoping to take our toddler there to get him on some berms and rollers :D

Both those bikes above look nice, clean lines on both.

Especially since it's not a low point in the frame where water will settle. I wouldn't be too worried about it at all provided the sealing is good in the bearings.

Accepted a job in Coquitlam so we're moving out there at the end of the month, leaving the downtown core. No idea what to expect out of living in Coq after living downtown in every city I've ever lived in. The job takes us out there but thankfully we found a place with a backyard so our toddler will finally have some space. Get us out of this 700sq ft 1 bedroom...

I hear that Burke and Eagle have some great riding, but have never been out there. Any must ride trails?  Anyone live out there? What's good?
