The music is so so but the dog makes up for it.

Also where do you ride at, kind of bike you got?

Me I ride Keystone on a Trek Rumblefish with mod breaks on it.

A buddy and I were resurrecting an old freeride spot before the snow came this fall. Can't wait to get digging in there again. I have so many lines waiting to be built...

Big Poppa, originally hit 10 years ago, but it was in extremely rough shape until we fixed it up:

Because once there was a magical time when people rode dh bikes in cities like bmx's and hardtails on mountains like dh bikes. It was a backwards world, but man was it cool.

Dang, I want to get back into riding, I sold my glory to buy my camera (worth it) but now I just have my p2 and I miss riding DH, haha. I need to get like a reign or a bottle rocket so I can do some all mountain riding and still hit the parks

Thought I would bump this, just got a Reign. Still getting the hang of things, but mountain biking is killer. Going down is way better than going up.

Picked this up recently, I will probably trade/sell it for something more all-mountain.

Fun to watch someone ripping something other than a full on 40lb DH bike.

-MK-I need to get a remedy... Fuck needing money to buy stuff


I thought about the remedy, but it just doesn't hold up in bike parks/downhill as well as the scratch/slash. The scratch is almost just as nimble as the remedy on the uphill but with a ton more downhill prowess.

Oh I do, most of the popular videos on PB are on DH bikes though, which I don't have a problem with. Just nice to see someone shredding a XC bike for change.
