What's up. I'm new. Just found/joined this forum. Amazing resource. Stoked.

I'm an old man. But I love to ride. I have an '04 Heckler and an '07 Reign 1. Selling the Heckler.

Here's my most recent, interesting, ride:


I'm an old man but I want to race downhill next year. Where do I start? I want a used DH rig. Something stupid-beefy.

One more question: Are there any dirt jumps in Richmond?

In exchange for your collective wisdom, I offer you all a monkey head. Or a beer sometime. :monkey:

THanks,

Welcome to the forum!
:spam:See my ad in the Buy & Sell forums for a Giant Faith 2 that is race-ready if you're lookin for a good DH bike. :spam:

As for races, the kick off DH race for us VA and surrounding area monkeys is usually in at Massanutten, just outside Harrisonburg, which is in the early part of May.

RIGHT ON

Well good, glad there is some activity here. And hmmm, now I have rides to choose from. But I only want to spend $12-1400 (old bike) so I'll check out the stuff and see who is close to that, but I can't buy until after the holidays anyway.

Thanks for the welcome. I'll be around. Rode Northbank today and damn those trail wizards were working hard. I'm going to help on Belle Island on Saturday.

Cheers to all.
