    okay, how far into the mountain do you need to go to hit those awesome spots!?!? ive made it up past sand flats and almost to the manor from gambrill. I really want to hit up some of those spots one of these days when someone would be willing to take me along. I would go exploring, but I dont...

    Riding position...

    eh, Ive felt tingly in the fingers before. my only 2 cents are, maybe your fingers arent strong enough? I dont know how physically fit you are, so its just an idea. I know I had problems with that and after doing things like deadlifting weights it helped a lot. you might be gripping too tight as...

    !new Frame?

    im going with the rocky mountain, he was nice enough to hold it. I should be getting it in a month or two! totally psyched! im also going to get a bashguard, which means even [I]more[I] ground clearance. :D so, if you have any opinions on my decision, let me know. thank you!

    what tires??

    I am riding on a 2.5 kenda blue groove on the front and a 2.3 nevegal in the rear and its holding up really well. they are preeetty heavy though, so if youre too concerned about weight, I wouldnt go with that size, but, maybe just a smaller size would work better for weight. before those tired I...

    !new Frame?

    im still liking the idea of the BMC. I ride pretty rough places, and its XC, so climbing back up is a REAL pain. I just did 16 miles at a place called the frederick watershed. its sick. I fell a lot, and most of it was because my back end was flying around the trail. I want a full skeeshie now...

    !new Frame?

    I found a frame that I REALLY like. I havent ridden one, but it sounds like its just what I need from what people have said about it. It is a BMC bike, I have never had any experience with them at all. have any of you dealt with BMC's customer service? It is called the 07 BMC Trail Fox 1.0...

    custom frames

    the purgatory bikes look like real sturdy bikes, but im wondering if he will make me a steel hardtail. I would prefer something with square tubing. so basically just a frame that I can beat the crap out of, and still be able to ride away. I looked at nicolai, and none of there bikes really...
