    Downhill on a Hardtail?

    I got a hardtail and i really want to go to actual mountains and start shredding downhill and hopefully start racing. All ive ridden is local trails that are steep and fast with some small root/rock gardens but nothing as gnarly as downhill courses. Im totally fine with riding my hardtail im...

    29er HT for a DH guy...

    Last time I was home in Northern California I rode my dad's Banshee Paradox that I built up for him, and I realized that a good 29er hardtail is probably the most fun trail/all mountain bike I've ridden in a long time. My Nomad C is staying in my stable, no question, but I have slowly been...

    To start?

    Alright. So I've been biking since I could walk, and I'm really fast, but don't have the skills I need. I'm riding a hard tail right now, but I really want to start racing downhill. It's gonna be awhile before I can even afford a used downhill bike :(, so what can I do on my hard tail that can...

    Frame Swap = love hardtails again...

    Hard-Tail freeriders...

    I just want to know what you like about your 26" wheeled dirt-jump/park-bike? What does geometry in the rear do to an aggressive hard-tail? I've been looking at: -Giant STP (they are everywhere) -Banshee Morphine (kinda pricey, but heard good things) -Fisher PHD (rode one and...

    The Hardtail 'Frames and Geometry' thread

    OK, After all the discussion of which frame is most like this or that and lots of questions about what'smost like this or that, I thought it'd be really nice to have a thread with details of all the frame geometries and details of hardtails, BMXs and cruisers. Basically the idea of the thread...
