I ran mine as a race bike this season, and it performed quite well. Although it's heavier than my Dirtbag, it's also more balanced, and pedals a little better (thanks in no small part to the DHX shock). What do you want out of a race specific bike? I set mine up with lo rise, narrow bars and ran...
I've handled the shoes and I have to say they're gonna give the 5.10s a run for my money! They won't be available til spring at the earliest, and unlike 5.10s (yet), they will be offered in a couple different colorways. There's also a street version w/o the lace protector called the Jaeger...
Listen to Stiff.
Any pirate trailbuilder worth their salt pretty much expects that their work won't last...like grafitti. You notice how graf writers paint over stuff that's been buffed(painted over)? I'd like to see more people doing trailwork and maintenance as an expression of creativity...
Anyway, back to the original idea to this thread, I'll be there representing the trueschool soul of this shed riding thang. You know you can count on me for serious labor and serious over the top inappropriate behavior!
This one will be there-just don't get too close cos I got strep throat! Or, lick my grips for a surefire sick pass for work on Monday...
I won't have my two year old with me this time, so everyone will hafta take my word when I say she hits the lines better than most.
I'm hoping Peppermint Pattie will see fit to post a few on the Traction blog, but don't hold your breath. Glad you like my bro's site, EC...now buy something from him and let your true colors shine through!
I think there are still too few races in the mid atlantic. I for one would be psyched to have to choose between two or more events every f_ing weekend. So what if there's a "scheduling conflict?" Mix it up a little, for chrissakes! I advocate every major city on the east coast having a dual...
The majority of the tracks on the disc are courtesy of my brother by another mother, DJ Shoshinobu from yamabushidesign...if you want to represent the future of progressive culture, you better have the right armor for your soul.

Big ups to all who showed up- thanks for making a fun idea into a real event! Congrats to Dustin who took first: wearing blue jeans and riding a singlespeed hdtail w/o front brakes! My man brought a lil street flava to the woods from the hood! Sorry the course wasn't marked as well as it coulda...
O yea, just so you know, the 26th is this playa's birthday, so I'll be expecting gifts of brocade shirts, gatorskin shoes, and velour fedoras from all you junior up-n-coming bidnessmen (and women). Attempts to spank me will be met with swift strokes of the pimp stick!
Let's not make too much out of this, but Jive and I will take advantage of the postponement to improve the course, so ya'll can see what it means to pimp out a poached trail. Don't miss this!
FEB 26TH!!!
Btch, I don't care if it's rainin', sleetin', or snowin; I want you out there hoin'! You ain't come too far for that! Get out there and get my money.
For real, if it's too nasty, hit up Jivefoolsucka and tell him you wanna back out. If enough folks feel the same, we'll postpone till another...
"Costumes" are only necessary if you ain't pimpin 24/7. If you're a whore, everyone's gonna know it no matter what you wear! There will be no style points for playing dress up, though. Super D forever!
Super D typically follows a DH race format, ie., racing against the clock with a staggered...
I heard this whole event is a bogus attempt by Jive to line his pockets with other folks' hard-earned dollas. Maybe he's saving up for those custom gatorskin shoes or a fur coat or something... I appreciate his ambition, but you have to have VISION to make a bike race with a load of crackers...
They aren't too hot in the mud or wet because the pins are tapered, and they carry mud like a dumptruck. However, if you spring for the long replacement pins, you can create a pretty grippy concave bed by using them in conjunction with the stock shorties. At first, I was unimpressed, but now...
