Just kidding, we all know its 12/10. Just posting this because no one posts riding photos anymore, and i never post here anymore. And this is probably the last photo of me riding this bike

P.S. Whistler was lit af this weekend

 

[troy]

Is that a MX handlebar?

 

[DaveW]

FFS! Get low and pro you cockwomble!!

 

[DaveW]

Ps you should have asked us to Critique it not just criticize it.

 

[Udi]

Turning is so 2016, I see a line straight over that berm for 29ers.

 

[StiHacka]

Nice kit!

 

[Nick]

what's up with that front brake line?

 

[gemini2k]

Is that a MX handlebar?

Yeah, 4.5 inch rise.

Turning is so 2016, I see a line straight over that berm for 29ers.

I'm looking in that direction...The photo doesn't show what happens next to the camera man.

 

[WestCoastHucker]

that's how my dog pees too...

 

[Westy]

Where is your wok?

 

[dump]

re: technique. Are you pulling a handful of front brake mid corner?

 

[Sandwich]

are you getting rid of the ftw?

 

[Da Peach]

Don't sweat it

 

[rockofullr]

Lean that bike!!!

Also there's a whole thread for bike riding pictures. Check it out.

Bike not purple, don't care.

 

[Westy]

You seem to be entering the corner late.

That's an optical illusion.

 

[gemini2k]

My GGDH should be here any day now...

I'm probably gonna sell my FTW to a friend for a sick deal. I'm too lazy to post it on PB or something and get a real price for it.

You seem to be entering the corner late.

That's always my style! It's more fun that way.

Lean that bike!!! :rotfl:

My bike is perfectly perpendicular to the plane of the turn. I'm prefect.

Also, I deserve my own thread. My bike, style, personality is too big for someone else's thread.

 

[DaveW]

Yeah you do need your own thread, how about we start one called "What did 2k do wrong today"?
Nice catchy title like that it'll be interwebs gold!

 

[kidwoo]

I'd much rather criticize your wardrobe.

 

[gemini2k]

Hmmm, this is my least offensive wardrobe combo, by a LARGE margin.

If you have your foot out it means either you're scared or you need more traction. If you're scared we're gonna make fun of you and if you need more traction you should be leaning the bike further. Gwin wouldn't have his foot out in that corner. Your body should almost never be leaned further than the bike and judging by your knee on the top tube it is.

PS I'm a hack but you asked for criticism!

I agree.

what an asshole

 

[Nick]

what's up with that front brake line?

(ahem)

Now that I've seen it I can't stop wondering how long it's gonna take for that thing to get snagged and ruin your day

 

[StiHacka]

(ahem)

Perhaps the extra hose footage is there to absorb a possible "handlebar rise inversion event"?

 

[Westy]

You have scrawny cankles.

 

[Nick]

when gemini2k was just a wee lad, he used to street ride and dirt jump back in Chicago. the things I remember most about him was these goddamn noisy spoke ornaments he had that rattled all over the place, and even when young he was always about 7 feet tall.

so, I'm criticizing his personal style and genetics.

I hate you and your family. But mostly myself for f-ing up that turn.

(ahem)

It's a feature, not a bug.

so, I'm criticizing his personal style and genetics.

Why thank you!

He is a midwesterner?

Eww.

Maybe scrawny now but in no time he will get fat and start riding a harley

...or get some Plus-sized tires.

I do not see any problems here. Looks expensive.

True, that riding "style" and setup just screams "I'm a Dentist, let me root canal this turn baby".

Nice theory, but come on, think about it! 2018 carbon frame: negative. The current new hot wheel size: negative. Carbon components: negative. Super light parts: negative. Clearly fails the dentist test! Or maybe he works at a low income dental care center?

But have you seen that fork?

Damn your alternate facts.
Look the silly twit asked us to criticize him, I'm just doing what he asked!!!

 

[iRider]

Fair enough. But is it Boost 110?

[slimshady]

Might not be an issue of technique, but one of the bike/biker mass ratio. Try taping some lead fishing weights to the adjacency of your BB and HT. You could even add some fluoro lures for extra bling.

 

[Jim Mac]

Go in high to come out low, give or take.
