    What are the new wardrobe rules?

    Skinsuits are still legal as long as you have something over the top half so that you are not wearing only the suit. Damn fat chicks taking away all of our fun.

    Hey last year while racing DH I decided to start my own Business.

    Looks really good! The flat rates for brake bleeds and fork overhauls are awesome. In general, everything on the site is well thought out, but there are a few things you might do well to change. Is there really a need for a link to some photos? Or to testimonials? Do you plan to...

    do you motocross?

    The power valve got stuck open, and part of the right side valve door gouged into the piston and got exploded throughout the motor. The issue was 100% powervalve failure. The piston was indeed a Wiseco, and was always properly warmed up, and had nothing to do with the problem I had. I am...

    do you motocross?

    No bueno! Head ons are a nasty reality at today's overcrowded riding areas. Definitely a bummer. I was riding a ton this winter, until last week my bike broke down an hour out from the truck. After humping it back and getting home, turns out my fresh new Wiseco piston lost some chunks and...

    Another Crazy Local Race

    LOL @ southbay black markets! Everyone knows that there isn't anything race worthy in the area!

    Nema '09 Website & Contingency Program!

    Rad! It would be awesome if this went towards moto racing as well. Holla for the AMA District 36 peeps! Heck, D37 is in your neck of the woods, too.

    Fontana race Video I think you will like this

    I dunno what was going on, but eventually it got all loaded up. Looks good. Are you going to film any "real" races this year up in the mountains? It's hard to make Fontana look good.

    Fontana race Video I think you will like this

    Effing A, compression? That file is huge, and I won't be able to watch it for a long time on my connection. You can compress HD down a lot, and it will still look great on the 'net. It's been 10 minutes and your video is still loading.

    Specialized SX rear shock?

    Yep! Raced it in the Downieville XC, Ashland DH and Super D, Sea Otter DH, and all kinds of other sorta DH races and long XC rides. It pedals horribly uphill with the slack seat tube angle, but it's so much fun going down that I don't care. Everyone else says it's hard to ride, but I like it...

    Only 10-14 days? C'mon, you can do a month or two if you live uber cheap! If you're looking for proper DH, why not go to the Alps? Barcelona will be pretty chilly in March. Pretty much anywhere in Europe will be cold in March. In Spain, the best riding is in the Pirineos (Pyrenees)...

    Specialized SX rear shock?

    AFAIK, and I've tried to stay up on my SX knowledge, there have only been 3 incarnations of the SX: the original, which was out in '03-'04. These had a giant monocoque front end. Colors were white for '03 and silver for '04. The '05-'08 SX frames had hydroformed tubes. '05 was red/black, '06...

    Specialized SX rear shock?

    Not for me. 2005 SX (red and black) fit the stock 1.5x7.5, and currently I'm riding a 7.5x2.0 shimmed down to a 7.5x1.625. I have also run a 7.875x2.0, which caused a very slight contact at bottom out, just enough to mark the paint, but was rideable without problems. That long shock messed...

    Demo: Mag link

    I so need one. To throw into a campfire, that is.

    do you motocross?

    Hey! Ummm, who are ya? How'd your race go? What class? PCGP was my first real moto race ever. Laps 1 and 2 were OK, but I wasn't riding aggressively or even having any fun. Then I flatted near the end of lap 2, and rode the last mile or so with the rear flat. I cruised through the...

    the alternative personal transportation thread

    Any chance of a rough HP estimate on the Quantya? At 195lbs, it's the same weight as my YZ125, which has about 32HP. Quiet motorcycles will be excellent for public relations!

    CCDB notes

    Me sentiments exactly. Too many variables? Same bike, same track, same tires. Only real variables would be the climate and strength of the riders. Obviously, more runs and more riders would make for a better test. It would be kinda interesting to see the real results, if for no other...

    CCDB notes

    Enough of this "feels" nonsense. Both the BOS and CC reviews have been very qualitative. Let's get a quantitative review going that compares these two "wonder shocks." Take this Banshee, and run 5 elite level racers on it down a decent 2-3 minute DH track. Something that's technical and...
