buildyourown · Nov 9, 2005

Let me guess. Your from Santa Barbara?

We may all come off as dicks, but your post was very generic.
The short answer, there is no perfect bike. Ask a specific question and you will get a real answer.
Spell/grammar check before you hit submit in the future.

Where the hell do you guys go to school?

If your old enough to ride a bike you shouldn't be getting that one wrong.

I think the Santa Barbara school district is punishing kids that fail their standardized tests by sending them to Ridemonkey to be ridiculed for their poor grammar and spelling.

No but in his defense it's the whole "no child left behind" deal. Thanks Bush!

After growing up here and attending each elementry, junior high, and high school in the district I've come to conclude that my kids will never set foot in a Santa Barbara school. I graduated in 2000 but I have a younger brother now a freshman in high school and I see how stupid those kids are. I think kids become more stupid attending school here. You guys get a hint from some of them on the :monkey:

But to be nice, your stinky isn't that bad. I have no idea what the average 15 year old's budget is (probably more than mine was at 15) but it's too "general" of a quetstion. I know rocky trails and being able to ride home is important, so pick something 6" or so travel (more is ok), that accepts a front der., has a stable platform shock, and go from there. Off the top of my head things the local shops sell would be the Coiler (or coilair) from Kona, the Specialized Enduro line, and possibly the VP Free if any have one built up.

why does everyone care about such little things when EVERYONE spells YOU'RE wrong, that's a pretty big one

downhilldemon · Nov 9, 2005

A giant dh won't pedal home very well. It hardly pedals at all.

lovebunny · Nov 9, 2005

yeah but your from SB so we understand. just try not to speak internet or anything on here. i think the vp free would be ideal. if you still want the 8 inches travel. if you think you can get away with less, go with an enduro or something in that category

lol so much for what is the top bike forum, more the get ure grammar straight!

Damn, Ridemonkey's original bastard speller has been usurped by the kids from Santa Barbara.

Oh well, time to retire.

face · Nov 9, 2005

ive been looking into the transition bikes i think those would be pretty sick. i think the pedal part in major is reliant on what shock you choose the foxs are nice cause you can just turn up the propedal.

SBDHrida · Nov 9, 2005

Well for one thing I think that we are all a little lazy at times, and "your" is a bit easier to write than "you're." Also, I hate the fact that all people from santa barbara are getting a bad reputation because of three illiterate kids. Oh, by the way the one who started this post is simply a duplicate name of one of those three. I think he was originally zmtber. I think that might explain a lot.

yea im not one of those three kids dont worry. what about frames like the v10, 303, dhr or demo

the 303 is designed to be very good at getting over square bumps, which are plentiful on Tunnel. It gets my nod

PDC solaris based on no information and it isn't out yet but I want one so buy it and flood the used market so I can have one later next year.

Sandwich · Nov 10, 2005

best run-on sentence ever

WSU DH'er · Nov 10, 2005

It might help if your a little more specific on what your looking for in a DH bike. Any bike on the market you can pedal home, it depends on how hard you want to work at the ride home. If your looking for a straight DH bike that is quite a bit different from a freeride or all around bike. Give us a little more information and your get a lot more out of everyone.

EDIT: Also a price range is a good starting point.

stop pointing fingers at me! :mad:

i have nothing to do with this stupidity, i gave it up a long time ago.

punkassean · Nov 10, 2005

I can vouch that SBDHracer or whatever is in fact a fourth separate kid and not using multiple screen names.

Trevor, get the Turner. It's simple, reliable and proven. Not to mention there are plenty available used for a good price.

it actually pedals well for a dh bike which is what is best for our area

ok, well the team dh I rode didn't pedal too well. It is a sick deal though.

RATM · Nov 10, 2005

Foes Fly might be you answer, or the 2005 stinky supreme. I think the Foes will climb better.

binary visions · Nov 10, 2005

I had to check the URL in my browser to make sure I hadn't accidentally pulled up a Pinkbike thread.

What is the best downhill bike? The Giant DH, a super low pivot frame coming with a platform shock, doesn't pedal well? Suggestions for two frames based on zero information whatsoever? Spelling and punctuation to make a grown man weep?

Someone please purge this thread from my memory - help me forget the pain...
