    Fox titan or 661 Vapor Chest Protector?

    go try them, it's never comfortable just by looking at it. Check the Dainese Evolution too (google it for best prices), if you're going that way, why not go with the better. ;)

    First ride of 2011, Ray's Milwaukee

    Not sure what the max capacity is but this weekend had an average of 200 people (few got the news it had opened) and I would say it was at half-capacity.

    First ride of 2011, Ray's Milwaukee

    Spent the NYE weekend there, rode 31st and 1st (we had done it at CLE last year) great way to celebrate the new year:thumb:. I love the place. It is definitely different from CLE which is a bit more "organic" as you can see it grew with times, that additions where made as things went. I like...

    DH in the Midwest

    What a great weekend and first real DH racing experience for me. Awesome job to Chad, Big J and the crew for putting up such a great event. The run was more technical than I was expecting it to be, it was very "East Coast" and humbling I have to say but my 19 y-o son and I really enjoyed the...

    DH in the Midwest

    For some of us in a small part of the Midwest, our holy grail of beer is the Spotted Cow, although I do spend a lot of time with the Fat Tire too :D The New Berlin guys are cool, think a bit like us, ride bikes and most important brew some good beers, I also like the Skinny Dip and the other...

    DH in the Midwest

    Big J, is the camping open for the DH weekend, I thought it was only for the following (XC/Super D) weekend? I was looking at some campsite cabin 10 minutes away?

    DH in the Midwest

    Yes for sure, but I'm fine with "Midwestern DH" right now, just got a 6" bike, just looking for some fun right now, although Marquette is definitely the place I want to visit this Summer. I'll try to go there before their bike fest, to try the trails first.

    So Commencal won't warantee my frame...

    I know, too funny, the guy keeps on saying that there's a history of known cracks on the '09s, still buys the frame, has some remodeling needs because he doesn't like the paint, alters the frame despite the writing, rides the bike and then finds the crack and expect a replacement? eeeer!? :rolleyes:

    Opinions on Scott Genius?

    Anyone riding a Scott Genius 30 or 40? I am very interested by the possibility to vary the suspension travel. I am debating between a Commencal Meta 5.5 or a Scott Genius and was really inching towards the Meta 5.5. until I came across the Genius and it's ability to go full travel or 4".

    Santa Cruz Nomad vs Rocky Mountain Slayer SXC

    One of my friends ride Kettle with the Slayer, good enough bike for there. Anyway, when we race Kettle the dudes on their hardtail fly by me in the steep uphills, standing up, when I'm spitting my lungs out on my full suspension. For that kind of travel you are looking for it is going to be...
