yeah I love it too...for the broken parts, it happenned to me before when I went to bromont where the trails are hideous, but since mont-blanc is opened, the only expense I had done is 8$ for new grips

for your racing thing I dunno in the US, but here in quebec there is an organization (fqsc) wich organize races all across the province and girls race too. the winner is the one with most point at the end of the summer.

I'd love to do more downhilling, but I can only afford one bike--which is going to cost me about $3,500. But it's worth it because biking comes second only to skiing, and it's a close second. Hopefully I'll be doing a little freeriding up at Big Sky in a month or so before they close to get ready for skiing!

dh is so awsome! im so glad i bike because the summer months would be so boring without it. it is definately a close 2nd to skiing for me. and for racing, i believe u have to buy some kind of certificate (about 50 bucks) that will allow u to enter races anywhere. not sure tho.

I think I like DH more than skiing now, it's waaaay more expensive but soooo awesome and you can always have a sick time where as skiing I have to drive for hours, the weather might be poo, the snow might be crap but biking is always fun, you can always do it, and my new bike is off the hook, hehe.

Ah it's so much fun but I haven't had the opportunity to do much dh riding. Took a trip to Whistler this summer and a race comming up the 16th at Mt. Snow, but that's about it. Whoever rides Whistler, who loves fucking Goat's Gulley? That is the best trail I have ridden. It was just awsome to cruise down that and take the steepest lines ahhhhh! Just thinking about it gives me a hard on again.

Nope, you can get a bike for 1600 and still do all the same shit with a 3500 bike.

I love goats gully! such a tech trail. the jump trails are sick aswell. whistler is soo awsome. it has it all..skiing, biking and umm other stuff that i dont do cuz when im there i either ski or bike. but ya for anyone who wants to start biking i'd suggest to rent a bike and go to a bike park and see how u like it. then u can buy a cheap used bike for around 1500 and go from there.

Yeah that is a sick run. Especially that cargo box you can jump onto and drop off of. D1 is also a fucking sick trail, the jumps just keep going haha.

Gosh, I love DH. I can only afford it once a year in whistler, since it's like 150 bucks a day, but it is soooo fucking worth it. On my annual day of riding I broke my ankle very stupidly on the very last jump in the park, but it was still bomb and worth it. Gotta get about 2500 bucks and buy a freeride or DH bike by next spring if I can. Anyone ride the north shore? Been there once, and I found it soooo much more technical than Whistler, really intense.
