I'm on a local team in my town... Just wondering if any NS'rs are into MTB! Or downhill. I just don't see many bike posts, but it seems like a lot of skiers bike in the Off - season!

Favorite places?

not at all, but you should. I don't want to be a douche but an MTB thread was in NSG like less than a week ago. Do you need me to find it for you... People like you clog up NSG more than it already is. I am just trying to help out. Also this thread will answer your question. =)

i just got myself a new (used) so i'm really stoked on it currently. its a 2010 trek gary fisher marlin (26er, not a 29er) with decent enough components to last a while. i've been riding like every weekend on real trails, and almost daily on roads/local trails.

mine is the only 26er i've seen, even on the internet. but i have some pretty decent trails, we have a solid organization called the wnymba who keeps the trails up/builds new ones, i'd like to help out but their trail days always seem to interfere with my work schedule. i also might consider trying some beginner level xc racing.

The Richi Hulk. Its built by a company in Germany and has two dampier shocks and the fork has 12 inches of travel. Weighs almost 60 pounds so its for downhill only. 100% bomb proof.

I've got a Transition Vagrant that I just finished building last fall, never road dh or do all that much mountain biking before but I though it would be something fun to do once all the snows gone, if only this rain would let up

Heres just a picture from online

Been doing a lot of mountain biking. I'm more of a XC guy though. I love a good multi-hour granny gear climb, with a long flowy single track down. I prefer that my wheels stay on the ground 99% of the time.

I'm looking into buying a used 29er single speed, I'm 6' 0" with an inseam of about 25 inches. Is a 21 inch frame reasonable? I ride singletrack.

Make absolute sure to check out Phils Trailhead area. If you dont already know, thats where The slalom loop, the lair, the pumptrack, and traintrack jumps are, plus phils trail and whoops. definitely pick up a map of the area, its worth it. you may have to go exploring for a bit to find the lair as well.

As for skibowl, it would be pretty rough on you and your bike because it is a hardtail and skibowl is super rocky. lower bowl has 2 relatively smooth trails, but upper bowl is a bunch of pinned fireroads. theres also a freeride section in the trees at the bottom which is mad fun.
