Saw Xy9ine ripping it up on his chromed out TMX at Whistler on July 2. Looked real sweet.

Sorry CG.

FH

thanks. i met a guy (from seattle, i think) who owned master plan (not with him); that wouldnt perchance be you?

 

[Shortbus]

...he got to visit the shop sooner than you because A.) he wasn't busy buying a mint 1959 chevy luxury coup as you were...

hehe, how dare you call my baby a tchevy?


Since CG (I mean TMX) is all about the toy porn let's hope this week end brings out the sun-god for some toy porn shootage. :love:

 

[xy9ine]

hey FH, thanks for the xy9ine update. can't wait till he posts a riding pic. i've conjured up this little fantasy that he just so happens to be friends with sterling lorence (or another photog of that ilk) and provides us with a number of photos of the bike glistening over whistler descent. poster sized. ceiling poster sized. oh wait...i'll leave the rest of the fantasy outta this.

no pics yet. i brought the camera last weekend, but whistler was a slopfest. the tmx was defiled. borderline sacrilege. we're usually too busy riding to bother setting up for snaps, but i'll make a concerted effort. i do have a sexay shirtless schleyer drop pic for your cieling - not on a bmw, unfortunately...

 

[tmx]

xy9ine, didja check your pm's?

shortness, i didn't mean to diss the actual vehicle you recently acquired...just keeping it on the DL. but don't go insulting my astro with anti-chebby sentiment. btw, did you name the new car? praying to the sun gods for more pronski.

knuckle, i'm far too jealous you're getting a mini to offer any suggestions for wheels or other components. :eviltongu (actually, i haven't a clue what would be best....but even if i did....mmwwaaahahahahaaa!!)

EDIT: xy9ine, haha, shirtless schleyer ceiling poster...nay. i want the chrome in action or nothing at all. actually, i totally understand how it is when you're riding...so don't go mess up your mojo by stopping to set up shots. i will try to be patient while remaining hopeful something surfaces sooner than later.

NO NO NO!!! I know you wren't dissing, I was just kidding!!!! Sorry if I came across wrong... :mumble:

Your astro is the official Brooklyn mobile is what I was telling M at SnowShoe.

 

[tmx]

so shortness, didja name the vehicular yet? i'm sure M was totally fascinated with your knowledge of the astro being the official bklyn vehicle.

pretty sure y'all saw this deeeeelicious shot brian pierce took a while back, but i'm jonesin for more pics so re-postarama....doc at blue mountain:

Hey diggin the new username - why the switch?

hey mark. howzit goin? looks like you're doing a fine job acquiring skills from the work sucks thread i spied.

about the name change/identity crisis, in brief, since the TMX is no longer in production i decided to reclaim my old screenname. glad you like it. when's your next trip to pkill?????

loaned out the old bike last w/e and here's a shot of the smiler after his first time downhilling!!! so much fun getting people hooked on this stuff, ain't it?!?

It's going well Terry! I did pretty well at Mt. Snow, it's not as steep as Platty, I still need to work on better braking though. I'd love to get to Pkill very soon.

Damn that bike is sweet! That is very awesome and generous of you to loan the old bike out to newbies. That smile should be labeled the Plattekill Grin - I know it well and hope to experience it again soon.

Cheers,

Mark

 

[Knuckleslammer]

Hey, if you guys were to build an FQ, what would you put on it?
I'm very critical with parts, so I'm looking for some sick shiit to put on this thing. I tend to like stuff that is a little different. I'm thinking of dmr wingbars, or perhaps some truvativ 31.8 downhill bars. I'm just not sure about the fork though. I'm thinking hope M2's for the brakes. WTB laser V for the seat. Whadaya think? Throw me some bonz. Bark at me.

Knuckle

 

[tmx]

haha, the plattekill grin. i thought it was the dh grin, but now that you mention it, it is different from the smile you're rocking at mt snow. still a big silly smile, but i guess pkill does have a smile all it's own.

oh heck, here goes nuttin' (and i'm bummed it's still not a riding photo but as mentioned previously, i'm photojonesin')...here's me trying to be gangsta, throwing up the EC sign, for east coast...but from the pic it looks like i might be dyslexic.

LOL that's a great shot. Love that new fork on the RL. You better be careful wavin thos gangsta signs, there's a lot of e-gangstas lurking on bulletin boards...

I thought i'd call my new vehicle M just like ma girlfirend.

EDIT: looks like you found yer helmet from WV.

Maybe is is the first time dhing grin - I'll have to return to Pkill quickly to see if it is the first time thing or Platty that puts that kind of grin on one's face.

Hey nice pic - you even have chrome-like body armor! Sweet!

What brakes did you end up putting on the TMX? I'm jealeous that that dude got to use it - but I am really diggin how the Prowler worked at Mt. Snow - and I like it's versatility - that little ring I have on it came in handy when we decided to follow a trail that didn't really go downhill but up and across the mountain for a bit yesterday.

That reminds me, I need to call White Brothers to see if they can send me some type of adaptor for my fork guards. One dropout is drilled out for the guard, but the other side isn't.

 

[Shortbus]

i'm sure M was totally fascinated with your knowledge of the astro being the official bklyn vehicle.

She's learnt the valuable lesson of "just ignore him while he rambles"

 

[tmx]

mark, yeah...that's how the whole chromegoddess name started. i had one of those chrome-looking bell helmets and that metal looking chest protector and someone said i looked like a cg. yes, we will test the grin you exhibit at your next trip to splattylah to see if it's the firstimer grin or the PG. we put magura's on the bike. and doncha know, that grinner went and thought he was ricky carmichael off a jump and landed bars first and scuffed the crapper outta the new levers and resevoirs. they still work, so they've just been broken in for you. i'm very happy to hear you are pleased with your dh bike! best feeling, eh?

knuckles, magura brakes (hehe). wtb saddle, thumbs up.

shorty, does M mind that you're naming your latest purchase after her? hmmmm.

Haha - that's great on the Chromegoddess knickname story! Yikes on the jumper and the nasty landing - glad to hear bike, levers and rider are all in one piece though.

The Prowler works great for me - but I gotta say my best feeling ever while mountain biking was finishing my night lap at the 24 Hours of Dalton - even better when I found out later it was my fastest lap of the whole race - I think it helped me on the DH sections that I couldn't see every root and rock that was out in front of me! But that day at Platty comes in at a very close second.

Now to experience Platty on the Prowler to see how that compares.

 

[Knuckleslammer]

Keep it going folks. Hopefully soon, you'll see min on here, maybee this will outdo that lame asss R3SP3CT post ha? :nuts:

[tmx]

two words: new dirt

eighteen more words: the best dh mag on the stands has a review of the race link and it's spot on...




and a 59.5 word rant: ...except for the fact they incorrectly concluded one needs to be a "man" to ride this bike. eh-hem. not just me either, i know of at least four other women who do very well on their bklyn dh bikes thank you very much and have a nice day. sheesh! don't even get me started on their first production DH. psshhhhh. :mumble:

 

[Shortbus]

The rubber duckie is a very girly frame,
That other one with the integrated rear fender to the saddle is kinda wussy looking too... Bender could pick one up with his pinky finger and crack it in half just by staring at it.



I'll pick up a dirt mag this week end. Hope they have good photos on the review.

Christian -

EDIT: ^^^ please read sarcasm before sending me hate mail.
Bender CAN crack frames by staring at them though it's true. The entire high school knows it it's old news.

 

[tmx]

i find that grouchy ranting emoticon to be rather satisfying and yes there are jpretty good pics in the article.

attached here we have the designated brooklyn bike washer. don't know what i was thinking all these years. i'm not a man, i have no business riding those bikes. anyone wanna buy a race link or a tmx? :mumble:

 

[xy9ine]

i'll take the rl off your hands... making pilgrimage to chapters for dirt mag asap...

 

[Shortbus]

.....




You OUGHT to know what happens to those who attempt to flea our religion. Are we understanding each other here?

 

[Shortbus]

hey x9yine,
I had that sproket on my TMX! Those are SO pimpalicious!!!

 

[sikocycles]

I will take the Ti brake arm from you TMX and trade ya mine

 

[macmx]

ain't that crazy marcus is here?! i'm nervous, what do i wear? .

Hahahahahaha! You're great.

Knucks - I'd put Profile Hubs on there. I'm geeting some soon. Though, then I'll have to get rid of my brand new Chris King.

Check out my new Street Sweeper XL that I picked up in NY. It rides like a dream!

 

[micce]

Looks real nice mr Marcus!!

I'd love to get myself a bmw hardtail when my economy allows it! Gunna be green!

 

[Super8freerider]

Anybody have info on the second bike?
thanks

 

[micce]

second bike?

 

[macmx]

I was tired of having to flip through the pages to find this topic, hence this reply.

Don't you have anything interesting to say? Come on guys. Get the posers pics in here!

Micce, where's the action shots of that Rub ruuub duckie duck?!

 

[xy9ine]

aiight, then. here's my moto cat minou. she's teh uber knarcore - she once did a 40' drop to flat (seriously - off a balcony ). more than deserving of the bmw stickerage.

 

[Espen]

If I still rides DH when I am 40, I will buy one!

 

[tmx]

kitty porn!! "...she once did a 40' drop to flat (seriously - off a balcony ). " gives new meaning to meOW.

whatsup MACadotiousMX? you been out riding? any XLSS action pics? i've been busy spray painting the tmx, what'd'ya think??

 

[Full Trucker]

...i've been busy spray painting the tmx, what'd'ya think??

I think pink is the new black, but yer about 2 years behind, girl...

well hello there your royal truckness. it's not pink. pink is played! it's the new new black, PURPLE! you no likey?

btw, you have the funniest avatar on the monkey. we need more cowbell.

 

[Full Trucker]

PURPLE is the new black?

Hrrrrmmmm... No.

I've been rockin' the purple Tacoma longer than the pink threads. Purple is the new navy-sport-coat-pleated-khaki-trousers combo. Or something. Unless you're in Minneapolis, then purple is just required. Ha! I kill me. Rumour has it that Tony the Angry Dwarf is going to be suffering from a serious case of the Rocky Mountain High-Ons real quick-like... any such luck for you and the crew?

Trousers? Did I say TROUSERS? All these fuggin' Aussies living out here have warped my fragile little mind. Keen?

EDIT: I have a recording of a cowbell on my iPod that I set to "shuffle and repeat" and listen to it non-stop throughout the day. You know of any high-paying jobs in NYC that would like a psychopath like my damn self so I can turn this infernal cowbell off?

 

[Jimmy_Pop]

well, last weekend, i crashed my ass off over a double during my first practice run of a DH race at a Fat Tire Festival. broken collarbone. sucks.went to the hospital, got some drugs. cancelled my colorado trip and now i'm pretty much bored out of my mind, especially now that the tour is over. i just sit and stare at my bike that is hanging on the bike stand in my living room.

wish i had some bmw pics.

My 14 yr little brother hard tailing it to second place.

me kicking in on the side lines later that day. white visor.

oops.

ok, one bmw pic from the race pervious to the collarbone thing.

laterz,
joel

you crack me up ev. purple is required in minneapolis. you've got your finger on the pulse of everything.

with a trait such as your iPodness, you could work the big time here in new YACK city because all the big timers are psychopaths. but if you're worried about the aussies warping your (eh-hem) fragile mind, i wouldn't suggest re-locating to this hellhole. not that we wouldn't love to have a dose of evanisms straight from the horses mouth, so why not plan a visit this winter....huh? huh? huh? eXpecially since tony bologna's back here to be visited too. not looking like i'll be back for any of those fine races you've got going on in coloradAH. sucks, but for the greater good...whose greater good i'm not sure, though it looks like it's working out well for my boss and my creditors.

hig bug evanofsky.

 

[tmx]

JOEL!!!! que paso?? that sucks. you okay? i mean, obviously you're broken up, but YO.

heal quick!

 

[Full Trucker]

Aw jyeah, I'm tellin' ya... I talk alot but if you stop listenin' yer fixin' to miss sumpin' impotent.

And JOEL! Shee-yi-yit mang, sorry to hear about that collarbone situation! Heal up quick-like cuz there's only 12 weeks or sumpin' until FINAL DESCENT III - RISE OF THE DOWNHILLERS is upon us!

 

[Jimmy_Pop]

Heal up quick-like cuz there's only 12 weeks or sumpin' until FINAL DESCENT III - RISE OF THE DOWNHILLERS is upon us!

hell yeah bro, getting back in shape, bike all stacked and pick'n out a sweet lil sun dress just for you. jk
