When people spend that much on a bike there is someting wrong. I have a Motiv Vortex, it ran me 250 it's a full suspension bike and has about 3-4 inches of travel. It is a great bike and I've not had a single problem with it. I've dropped 8 footers and rode away clean on it. For the price there is nothing that compares. And what happens when it does break? Well since costco is such a good company they will give me my money back no questions asked.

I MB! it is hella fun. almost as good as skiing! have any of you been up Hunter Creek, in Aspen? that is a good place although it gets flat.

I have a Treck 4500. I think it was $440. It's great. I just wish I could get a full suspension bike.

you see I realize I could get a full suspension bike for that but you know what, that would be really shitty. I don't care what your opnions are on that it would be a shitty bike. that is all there is to it!

also, when it comes to MBing if you didn't draw blood you didn't have a good ride.

Yeah I used to, but this year I moved and my bike is shit, and I can't ride it cause I'm weak. But check this out, I have without a doubt the best rear wheel set up ever: Mavic D521 w/ flat spot, a regular inner tube with three, yes three, old inner tubes cut up and around to keep it warm in those frosty Ontario chills. And best of all, a three year old 2.35 Intense DH tire (50 duro) that's the burliest fucking slick you've EVER seen. All at around 60psi.

Word. I bike, got an older specialized ground control fsr. 4.8in. travel in the back, which is ok, but still not much. The whole bike is worth about $1400 if i were to sell it today.

Mountain biking is sick, until you start having to do slave labo...uh, I mean work for a bikeshop because you're breaking hundreds of dollars worth of stuff every month, or week. Shit, skiing is cheaper than mountain biking, so that should tell you how much mountain biking cost me. 2 bikes: Specialized stumpjumper, currently set up as a weird commuter/road/ligh mountain bike, but will get set up back to XC spec soon, and a brodie energy, set up as DJ/'freeride' hardtail. They're both beat to shit, and I need at least one new bike.

If your going to DH or freeride you really shouldn't get XTR, get XT or LX, lot cheaper and will work just as good for DH and freeride, you dont need to save those few grams for like an extra couple hundred bucks. But ya, I mountain bike, I love it, best thing to do in the summer.
