mtb's

i ride trek...i have a fuel and it's rad for xc, really smooth ride...it's fun to mess around on too without going too huge......i heard the diesel sucks ass though...so trek carries itself better in xc and road...

what the hell, it didntinclude the site names. whatever, theyre pricepoint.com and unrealcycles.com. and yea explosive, i have an old trek 8000 that i occasionally still ride xc.

check out the ironhorse models, they have some cheap good freeride bikes

anyone have any input on a haro extreme x2? i rode one today and really liked the feel of it..and it seems like alot of bike for the money..($1000)..if you're unfamiliar w/ it heres a link to all the info on it..

I would take a look at trek.
Full suspension
I have a fuel 90 frameset built up and a built up Liquid 30. The fuel is a great stable platform full suspension bike for xc riding. I would not ride that for anything but xc. The Liquid 30 rocks. I love it and i use if for my all mountian bike. both bikes are very light. If you are friends with somebody who knows a thing about building bikes. I would look for a great frame and build it up right. I love my marzocchi xfly 100 and Marathon 2 80. I always push marzocchi forks on people. they are bombproof and are worth the money. Trek also has a lifetime warrenty on there bikes which is great.

Hardtails
I ride a p2 single speed for urban riding with a marzocchi z1 dropp off fork. Great bike for urban. the Trek 8000 is a great bike and i have buddies who stand by it as there xc machine.

DO NOT buy a full suspension bike without stable platform unless you dont plan on doing much xc riding.

If you are a new rider I would pick a area of Mt biking and get comfortable with it. learn how to do your own repairs on your bike. www.pricepoint.com has great deals on parts. I personaly would say start with a good XC bike and get comfortable riding technical singletrack trails.
mmmmmm snow goood

If you are looking to really get into this sport. Get a job at a bike shop. I employee purchase parts at cost at the shop and order bikes from the companies from anywhere between 10-30% below wholesale. Plus you learn how to do your own repairs.

Anybody ridden an Iron Horse DH Pro or Freeride Expert? I get pro-deals on these bikes, but there is no shop within a few hours that carries them. They both seem like sweet ass bikes. I should go to Moab and demo them I guess.

Look... A mountain RAM. Staring contest. Me and you. You don't even blink do you? You win. You always do. Goulet.

what about the dirt jumper shock. im gonna call marzochi and bitch and moan about the pre level shock on the p2 and getthem to take it back and credit me for a dirt jumper. thats the plan so far. or just get rid of the p2 and get a a full susp. bike.

Picture a pasture open to all. It is expected that each herdsman willl try to keep as many cattle on the pasture. when a herder adds a cow to the pasture, he reaps the benefits of a larger herd. Meanwhile the cost of the animal - damage done to the pasture - is divided among all the herdsmen....... the herdsmen are getting nervous. putting more cattle on the pasture isnt helping anyone.

for all you campers coming to whistler this summer:
2002 Specialized Big Hit DH...only ridden one season in 2002, sat in my garage the next...upgraded to 2002 JR T's that were rebuilt by norco with SuperT Cartriges. Bought for $2400 asking $2000 after putting $1500 into it...must see.
