Like Willeville said, anyone who considers themselves a "freerider" must show up for Monster Park, or they suck. You can only not come if you are dying. All the top freeriders in the world will be there. Lasts from July 1-3rd. BIGGINS, you are also required to come!!!

Hell yeah Monkeys!!! If you aren't there, you are missing out. For any information, click here: http://ride.snowshoemtn.com/monsterpark.html

Greensborians, as far as I know, arrangements for lodging are being made. I will try to get everyone in the loop once everything is figured out.

 

[WKC]

Nah, just joking everyone. All I'm saying, is that with a rider list like this, it's going to be badass!

 

[stubby]

im gonna b there, bringin my parents and sister too, and there gonna like it!
im doin the camp as well stayin there for almost 2 weeks!

 

[WKC]

Hell yeah. I'll be there for sure. Me and motomike will be up there early afternoon Friday. Have I ridden with you before? I think I remember riding with someone who had an 04 P.2 and/or an SGS. I ride a raw 04 C'Dale Gemini 2000.

 

[stubby]

yah i prolly have ridden w you before, was it a yellow sgs? ive ridden with motomike at p tent as well.

 

[WKC]

Yeah, i've ridden with you before, just can't remember where. Most everyone taht motomike has ridden with I have too. Slopestyle is gonna be so badass.

 

[motomike]

I'm pretty sure you two haven't met.

 

[WKC]

you sure Moto? By the way, I am currently talking to gastro about lodging at Snowshoe. I think arrangements will be similar to your trip last weekend, but I will let you know as soon as I figure everything out (PM you later). Also, do you know anything about Avid Juicy Sevens? Are they good brake? I hear nothing but excellent.

 

[stubby]

maybe i am thinking of a camo gemini, anyways, the juicy 7s are good, my freind has the juicy 5es and he loves them. get the 7s and not the 5s tho you want to be able to adjust the levers, and loc tite your rotor bolts as well, my freinds rotor came loose at pee wees.
I ORDERD MY FOX 40 TODAY!!!!! sorry i couldnt keep it in im stoked.

 

[motomike]

cool. As for the Juicys, I'm not *crazy* about them, but they should be ok. They are squishy feeling. Come to the shop and ride one of the bikes with them on it. Or not. I think we have an Enduro with an 8" Juicy.

Hard to bleed and can be very finicky.

**Come to think of it, I know y'all have never met before.

 

[motomike]

40s are overrated.

 

[WKC]

Yeah, I found a great deal on a pair of juicy's and was just wondering if they were worth it. A guy named Brian rides a camo green Gemini, you probably have seen him around. you know Merritt White, owner of Re:Cycles? He just got a '05 Shiver DC on his Bender Edition Scream, and it's awesome (very spoogeworthy). The 40's kick ass, I just don't have the money to drop on one.

 

[motomike]

My next fork will be a 40

 

[WKC]

Ok moto. Are the Juicy's better than the Hayes HFX-9's I have on my Gemini? Reason I'm asking: I can get Juicy 7's for about $140 a pop brand new. Anyways, here's the event!

 

[WKC]

Yes Mike; i didn't want to say it. 40's are cool, but overrated. Toss the 40, toss the 888, get a mo'fo'in Shiver!

 

[motomike]

screw all that. Think about getting Cedric Gracia's Bike

 

[motomike]

I bet in 2 years they won't make the Shiver anymore.

 

[stubby]

naa, i want the 40 its 6.7 pounds! and you can get them fo like 13o at jenson, and i have hfxs with dangerboys and i like the feel alot, juicy 7s have much much power too.

 

[motomike]

$140.00 each? That's quite alot. Look around some more. I think universal cycles dot com has HFX 9s for $85 a piece. I know you have these, but as an example. Check it out.

 

[WKC]

WErd moto! Cedric's new bike kicks ASS!!! You know, he did ride a Gemini before that!

 

[WKC]

No, $140 each for Juicy 7's! They are normally about $220 each!

 

[WKC]

EXPOSED!!! This is the mostest badass bike ever. Cedric's new ride. Ain't dat right, moto?!

 

[motomike]

yes

 

[stubby]

i wonder if that has more travelthan the gemini?
idk if they are overrated, but a sgs world cup with a fox 40 will be bangin, and it rides 2inches lower than a 888. btw what stem do you guys use, i have that integrated zocchi and i need a new stem when my 40 comes i was thinkin along the lines of a vice stem, or thomson, i have a hussefelt on my other bike and its ok but it creaks like all othre truvativ parts. i run 25.4 mm easton ea70s btw.

 

[WKC]

About the Juicy's...where can I possibly find a better deal, MICHAEL?

oh...yes.

 

[WKC]

Race Face Diabolus is my vote if you want the stiffest and strongest under you. Thomson now makes a stem called the X4, which is lighter than a Diabolus, but not noticeably. Besides, you don't get the cool laser-etched frame. I think the "Gracia" has a few more mm's of travel than the Gemini DH, about 8".

 

[WKC]

Yeah, the Diabolus if fu**ing bombproof. Besides, when was the last time Race Face did you wrong? They arguably make the best sh*t out there.

 

[stubby]

yeah truvativ components sound like crickets, and i can get the diablous at a reasonable price. the thomsond dh stem is a good price too....

 

[stubby]

BACK to the Monstor PARK...................................................we jacked this thread

 

[motomike]

yes, RF is good stuff, but I don't know about all that. Everything they make is the best?

 

[WKC]

Yes, back to Monster.....I can't wait to see Basagoitia; he's come up fast and throws down hard, every time. Aaron Chase will rock it too, as usual. Anyone in particular ur hoping to see? Moto? Do you guys know if there will be a demo day there? That's the word on the streets

 

[WKC]

Mike, ARGUABLY. God, flippin' idiot!

 

[motomike]

Chase will be out of his elements. DIRT. I wanna see Berrecloth

 

[WKC]

You hurt my feelings, moto. You know how sensitive I am... And yes, Berrecloth will throw down, as usual.

 

[oscerthegrouch]

Chase will still be in his element hes great on DJs but the drops are going to kill him. Berrecloth will throw down and kick ass but I dont think he will win again this year. I think some up and comming star is going to take it.

 

[WKC]

Drops...?!!! I live for drops!

 

[brian wilkinson]

go to paceline in g-boro and they have Cedrics biike there$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. and Chase WILL be out of his element, refer back to Qrank Werks.

 

[WKC]

That's all. I rode Cedric's bike today Brian. You like it? OH ****! I heard you got jumped! That true?

 

[WKC]

By the way, Mike will have the floor. Do you want to set something up for Monster because no one in the Greensboro crew has done so yet. We need to get on that tomorrow.
