    Newby needs help on selecting the right bike and eventually where the best deals are.

    I may be slightly biased... but it sounds like a Transition PrestonFR is just what you are looking for. Its a short travel Freeride bike that pedals great, and can take big hits. Plus Kyle and Kevin at Transition are local (Bellingham), and are really great guys to deal with...

    Talas R For DJ?

    Just a word of warning on the Fox for DJ. I have personally seen 2 different people tear both the dropout tabs off their Fox fork. Both involved a front wheel twisting crash, however, I would certainly not expect that outcome from either crash. I am not saying that it won't work great for...

    2006 c-dale chaase bike w/ sick looking chainguide pics!!!

    Aaron Chase was running that chainguide on his copper bike 2 weeks ago here at "The Gathering" in Seattle. I know, because someone pointed it out to me, and I went over and took a closer look at it. Its a pretty cool looking setup, but I would think it might need to be replaced fairly...

    Avalanche fatality at Alpental

    I am sure some of you have heard that there was a fatal avalanche at Alpental yesterday (Wednesday, Jan. 12). Unfortunately, it has claimed the life of a local mountain biker, and a good friend of mine, Eric Lewis. Eric was not a direct part of the Ridemonkey community, but he was a very...

    DH banned at Big Bear

    Only some stuff up at Cypress is going to be lift access. The ski resort up there is going to try to do a Whistler-type thing. I don't really know much more than that other than there is supposed to be "something for everyone". Hopefully it turns out good. It will take a few years to mature...

    Pike race for DJing???

    The Stance Static is actually 5.8 lbs (from Manitou's website) A friend of mine just got one last night and said they are definitely not a super light fork, but not really heavy either. I dont know anything about the Pike, but if past Rock Shox products are any indication, I would wait...

    Trouble in bikeland, warning to SS monkies!

    I have been running a Gusset 1er setup for 8 months now with no problems at all, however, its on a steel freehub. I have heard of other people having problems with AL freehub and getting their cog stuck. If you have an expensive hub with an AL freehub, I would worry about it, otherwise, ride...

    The Gathering is online

    The RMC track is going to be changed to a dirt flat-track in January. Acording to AJ, they are giving him free reign of the inside of that oval to build whatever dirtjumps they want for the comp (they will pile dirt up with the bobcat, then people with shovels will do the shaping) Basically...
