    888 rc2x problem

    I own a 07 RC2X and just let me say, hearing a story about the lowers just coming off is scary. Well at least it didn't happen during a race run on a gap. Wow. I wish the new Boxxer was out, like now.

    Mega avalanche North America? Why not?

    I did a little research on the Cannell Plunge trail in Socal. 32 miles long, 1900 feet of climbing and 9000 feet of descent. The top of the peak is accessible by vehicle also. I don't know if the area has room for a mass start. There would also have to be a qualification track too. Does anyone...

    Mega avalanche North America? Why not?

    Top of Whistler would be awesome. Never thought about that one. I know a place on Pikes pike that is about 3 hours of decent from the top. Not legal by any means but it would be a good place none the less. Elevation is an issue, but i think the biggest issue is access to the top. In Peru you...

    Mega avalanche North America? Why not?

    Just throwing this out there. Has anyone ever heard about the possibility of running a Mega Avalanche in the States or in Canada? I think it would go over really well, attendance that is. I did the one in Peru last year and i think it is definitely achievable to have one in North America. The...

    Any one hear about the "US CUP SERIES" ?

    Small question here. If USA cycling isn't helping with funding in the "national mountain bike series", then where is all the money going from membership fees and why do we need to be members? My guess would be the insurance side. Anyone? Oh and long live the Mountain states and Fluid ride ride...

    pikes peak shuttle/freeriding in c springs area

    I think it going to be at least three weeks yet. Problem with Pipline and Jones is the snow melts so slow from no sun light.

    pikes peak shuttle/freeriding in c springs area

    I think the top of Pipeline is still under some serious snow. Its going to be sometime before it is open yet. The trail head is at about 10,000ft.

    Sweet Mega Littervalanche - Mike West in Peru

    At the start of the race it sounds like your are being chased by a herd of cattle. Its all you can do to avoid crashes and not crash yourself. The medical support there is very shady. That was one worry i had but decided to take the chance anyway. I did the tour with Inkasadventure which was...

    Thinking of living the dream....

    I think that is the greatest idea a have heard all year. I'm taking the whole summer off to ride and do nothing else but ride. Hopefully finish off the riding season with a Costa Rica trip.

    DH trips with Wade Simmons - Costa Rica + Switzerland

    Most of the riding is in San Jose and Cartago province. You should definitely check out the riding with this guy. You will not be disappointed. Its great for training in the off season due to the runs being very long, fast and rough. It works your body and cardio pretty well from the elevation...

    DH trips with Wade Simmons - Costa Rica + Switzerland

    You will never find the trails that Big Mountain uses in Costa Rica. They are on private land. But i will say that the guy that does all the work and actually does the real guiding for Big Mountain would be very happy to ride with you. They are very good trails. I have been going there for the...

    2007 888wc

    I guess i will just need to ride it some more. I was thinking about putting some heat shrink on the springs to quiet them down.

    2007 888wc

    I recently put a new 2007 888WC on my DHR. I rode it this weekend and the first quarter of travel has some serious stiction and makes some serious noise when compressing. I checked the fluid level and all is good. Anyone got some tips to cure this sickness? I didnt have this problem with my...
