well the thread is called best freeride bike.

I have to say my free ride bike is much worse than what he has. It's like a 30 year old 10 speed from Sears or something from my Dad.

i would think the worse your bike is the better you ride. if you can do intermediate stuff on a 30 year old bike. then once you get your hands on a good one. youll be insane

 

[xtremedoritoes]

haha that trek is sweet. This is what I did to my brothers 4300! And just recently put my old 36 with a bb7 front brake and sun mtx rim. Ill get that pic eventually. i just pimped his riiiide.

 

[xtremedoritoes]

this was when it was fresh before we put the 36 on

 

[ctrailfreak]

So the P H B on the seat tube stands for Pimped his bike?

 

[wanabe]

Hell yeah! I started freeridin a Trek 4500 a couple of years ago. Now I got a steelhead. Ill get some pics up eventualy. And yeah, the steelhead is a kick ass dj/fr hardtail.

Here's mine. '05 Imp. Just took Breakout+ off, and put Shiver back on.

Am loving her again, she rips. Bottlerocket is getting jealous of ride time...

 

[rid3HB]

nice bike ^^ but iono, i think that bottle rockets are hard to beat. my jackal should be coming in soon. ill post picks as soon as i get it.

 

[rid3HB]

jack-tastic!

 

[markhammond77]

Yaaaaaaaaaa, nice man, I am glad you finally got it. Jackals are sweet.

 

[jmzd4]

the old school, from when I was in school. '94 Giant

and the new toy

 

[r464]

Lots to be said for a Jackal...

 

[SquadraCorse]

I can't stand the look of the jackal. I bet it's a bad ass ride, but I think it's f*** ugly. To each his own I guess

 

[NJMX835]

So did I when I got half way down and my back tire was not on the rock...
/QUOTE]

When I was looking at the first picture I was thinking there seemed to be a bit of a front wheel catching, fork depressing, throwing your ass over the bars type of divot in the rock face about 6' below where you were, lol

 

[SquadraCorse]

My Vagrant:

 

[rid3HB]

very nice ^

 

[ZHendo]

i hate the look of jackal frames. the top tube could be the ugliest thing in the world, and they really overdid it on the chainstay tubes. o well, i've never been a fan of that massive headtube junction they use, but the jackal really brings the grossness to a new level. would definitely be a stiff frame though.

 

[markhammond77]

I like Jackals. The transition looks sweet. Nice rides.

 

[zahgurim]

Nice setup on your Vag. Now go get it dirty!

 

[SLOPE]

I'm thinking about making my old fat ass learn to dirt jump just so I can buy a bad ass Jackal.
That is sex on two wheels.

 

[PepperJester]

This thing is pretty fun:

Sweet Bikes

 

[wolfrider]

Just picked this imperial up, and threw my 66 eta and 2.8 michy / 823 tubeless dh wheel on for fun. I'm thinking about building up a tubeless front wheel for this bike. Perfect amount of squish to match the 66 .

 

[markhammond77]

Looks nice.

 

[sad panda]

The Titan: I love this bike, it's tons of fun.
Some build specs:
Soul Cylces Titan
