    Mt Snow

    I checked out Snows trail map. There seems like a decent trail network in terms of number of trails and mileage. How come there isn't much written up about it? Is it any good for an intermediate rider?

    braking technique

    I have been riding for awhile but a riding buddy of mine is very critical of my braking technique. :rant: He says I should use only 1 finger. I use 2. He really bugs me about it as if it is a very bad habit. Is it? Am I really doing this wrong? :confused: Thanks

    fork for my balfa

    I am a beginner dh rider. I need a new fork for my Balfa bb7. I now have a 7 inch boxxer. I have a chance to get an 09 (new) Marz 888 rcv for $540. IS that a good fork at a good price? I have heard there are "dive" problems with the Marz forks?

    bike selection

    I wasn't sure where to post this thread, but since I ride at Diablo I decide to post here. I have a Titus SuperMoto that is set up for FR/DH. My second bike is a Balfa bb7. I bought the Titus hoping to get a lighter bike for lift served biking that has an active braking: Well I got that, but...

    Fork Advice for bb7

    I have a bb7 in good shape but my boxxer is shot. I could replace it with a used boxxer or Marzocchi (888, JrT, Drop, etc). What fork should I get. RS or Marz? I want something with 7 inch (possibly 8 inch) travel. Your advice is appreciated.:imstupid:

    Trail Recommendations at Platty

    I need some suggestions for trails at Plattekill. I am an experienced rider but I don't do too many drops (only small ones) I would classify myself as intermediate. Could anyone recommend trails to do (or stay away from?) Thanks.

    Thanks Matt

    Just want to give props to Matt the bike mechanic at Diablo. My Hayes disc brakes failed me Friday and Matt went out of his way to set me up for the rest of the day so I did lose much riding time. Thanks Matt you da man!:cheers:

    need advice modifying a Titus Supermoto

    Need advice on making my Titus Supermoto more lift-served friendly. I just got it used and it feels more like a trail bike (not a bad thing:biggrin:).
