    Slalom course rebuild at the rock in Gainesville Fl

    Just wanted to let everyone know we did a rebuild of the slalom course at the rock trail in Gainesville. The course starts off as two separate lanes at the top, then comes together for a fun jumpy section featuring a step down to small double to big table to double finishing with a large table...

    Question for Talas 180 and 160 owners (travel modification?)

    Nice. How does it ride? How is the geometry?

    Question for Talas 180 and 160 owners (travel modification?)

    Thanks. It rides great in the 180mm setting, geometry is sort of in between the 2007 Demo/Big hit. BB height is taller than the new demo, but about the same as the demo 7, which is good for the DH races in the southeast. I raced it at beech mtn this year and it felt great, but ended up...

    Question for Talas 180 and 160 owners (travel modification?)

    Actually I have a Marz 66 that is 180mm and feels great for DH, even though it is an air fork. I would consider throwing on the old 36 talas that is 160-100, but I have a 32 talas on my slalom/dj hardtail that I could switch over if necessary. It would just be awesome to have one fork for all.

    Question for Talas 180 and 160 owners (travel modification?)

    It is a 2007 enduro SL. I made it to have adjustable geometry and travel: 1) 180mm and 2007 Demo 7 like geometry 2) 150mm travel and stock geometry 3) 100mm travel and 2007 sx 4x frame like geometry The fork I am using is a Marzocchi 66 sl1 ata. It is an air fork with travel adjust...

    Question for Talas 180 and 160 owners (travel modification?)

    For those of you who own the new talas 180mm fork: Has anyone tried or considered trying to replace the talas unit with one of the old 3 position talas units? I think this may make the fork a three position travel fork at 180mm, 150mm, and 120mm. What does everyone think? It may be a little...

    Slalom Course in Gainesville Florida

    I rode the course today. It is awesome. Really fast plus lots of jumps. The "Y" format is going to make for some fun racing. Sorry we couldn't make it dual the entire way for all of you DS purists. It will be exciting though. Some time apart to test your skills, then the course merges...

    Slalom Course in Gainesville Florida

    Here are some pictures from a few days ago. Everything is smoother now and a lot faster. A few of the jumps have been shortened a little. Also, the jumps will probably be built up to be a little taller before all is said and done Stepdown: Rhythm feature: Long double. It has...

    Slalom Course in Gainesville Florida

    We have gotten a lot done on the course. We have the top half of the course done with some stuff finished in the bottom half. Right now it is a big "Y" (dual at the top, then merges into one). We may make it dual all the way down, depending on how much more time we get with the bobcat. But...

    Slalom Course in Gainesville Florida

    We flagged out the course today. Still trying to decide between DS, 4x or maybe even a 2x. We are trying to get a rental bobcat donated. After we get a bobcat out there we could really use some help shoveling and riding the course in.

    Clemson Spring DH Race - Feb. 27th

    Will there be a slalom race? Also, I think ETSU is also hosting a DH/4x/DS race this spring (in April). Should make a southeastern gravity series out of it.
