    High Roller 2.35 as a front tire?

    I'm in the northeast too, lots of gnarly, technical riding. Great NE tires for sure. Excellent for DH use as well

    High Roller 2.35 as a front tire?

    I've got 2.35 High Rollers on my trail/xc bike rear and front, love them. Very predictable tire at high speed and angled as well, confidence inspiring. Worth the extra cost over cheaper tires. Only trade off I've noticed is that its a heavier tire with higher rolling resistance than what I...

    Jiminy resurrection?

    Does anyone know how to find the pictures that were being taken of the DH race? Those would be really good to see

    Jiminy resurrection?

    Such a sick day at Jiminy today, little wet and sloppy on the race course but tons of fun.

    Jiminy resurrection?

    Last I heard it's $13 bucks for race entry and ticket combined....I'm not sure about the lift opening early though

    Jiminy resurrection?

    Well if you guys actually end up selling the cabin on the lake then I'll fly out for a week, I'll be getting three weeks paid vacation next year so I can take a couple trips...just gotta figure out what I'd use for a bike while I was out there

    Jiminy resurrection?

    Sick day today at Jiminy, weather could not have been any better. Trails are prime, can't wait to go back next weekend

    Jiminy resurrection?

    We had some good luck there in regards to the storm last week, especially compared to how some of the other resorts fared with all the rain and wind. A couple of the steeper trails were hit hard with erosion, but we did a lot of work on a couple of them on Saturday and they're actually better...

    Jiminy resurrection?

    YUP We'll be there the 6th or 7th. And I'll probably be there again on the 13th and 14th too

    Jiminy resurrection?

    I rode there the past two sundays, and I love it there. I'm going to be doing some trail maintenance this sunday to get another trail section opened up for the season. The trails are in prime condition since its been super dry and hot the last couple weeks and will be good this weekend too. I'll...

    Body armor and Braces

    Check out ankle braces through sports med websites, a few of my buddies have destroyed their ankles playing basketball and their braces fit in fine with any pair of shoes. I realize the injury type between yours and theirs probably isn't the same, but their braces add a good amount of stability...

    what size tires

    I'm running the same set up, it definitely has been the best for me so far in the northeast. Theres really no real benefit to running tires in the northeast larger than 2.5"ers, and the minion is great in the front for technical riding you'll find at Whiteface and Plattekill.

    Peaty shirts anyone?

    Definitely interested

    Going to be in the Saugerties/Millbrook area for a few days. Any riding?

    Some good resorts around that are definitely worth checking out if you're into downhilling, Hunter, Windham, Jiminy Peak, Plattekill. Not sure of anything for XC...however the Ferncliff Forest Preserve across the bridge near Rhinebeck is really nice, tons of trails good for biking, XC and...

    best shuttle car

    I have a 2004 pontiac vibe, which is essentially a toyota matrix except with GM styling. Has space for a roof rack and can throw a rack on the back too. Has loads of interior space for all the gear you could need for 3 people, super reliable, great on gas (higher than 30 mpg usually), and can...

    Shin Guards that don't slide...

    if it comes down to it, try slipping on a pair of high socks that go to your knees for added space and friction...if you're willing to deal with the extra heat that is

    Shin Guards that don't slide...

    I just got the TLD lopes ones, the S/M size and i'm 6 feet so they fit pretty small, but they are tight and stay put real well. Perhaps you bought a size too big so the neoprene sleeve is too loose, it should be pretty tight

    Lake George -- Buck Mtn, early august

    Those snakes are only over on the Tongue mtn range, but yeah the deer flies were pretty bad when I hiked it this past saturday. The trail from the trail head parking lot is pretty darn boring for the most part, real wide and hiker friendly. The trail that goes up the face of the mountain is more...

    Lake George -- Buck Mtn, early august

    So a buddy of mine from cali is flying in for a few weeks and staying at the lake at the base of Buck Mtn, we're going to be hiking up and riding down either from the trail head or up the face of the mountain on a different trail. Would be great fun with a big group, shoot me or William42 a PM...
