Sold my bike not long ago to a dude in china...he flew all the way here to Canada to pick it up...he claimed it was destined to become one of two bb7's in China...the other was his friend's. Want to buy a new one ASAP, I miss it so f*cking much...

Bikes are way more addicting to own than skis.

Custom Black Market Riot for DJ's and skateparks
Intense Slopestyle for freeriding
Intense 5.5 for XC and all mountain
and probably a BMX bike at some point.
