I was gonna say i think that's kind-of-a bike stand that holds the rr wheel up by cupping the BB. I wanna build myself one someday for quickie repairs.

Ah okay I get it!

Silly me.

I just got a bike stand yesterday. You know, one that holds the bike up by the seatpost. Very good for my little bike workshop in the garage.

sarah dynia took 2nd (black jersey). rapidly improving her skills, great form, aggressive style. the winner, jenna rizzo, same thing, improving like mad. both are super sweet, fun to ride with, and i think the church is looking into a living cannonization of jenna, she is such a saint.

dang youngin's kicking my pink jerseyd arse all over the east coast. where's my geritol dammit!

a very humble and modest yet huber-kick ass DH'er!!!!! :D
I have yet to meet the Chromegoddess in person - but from everything I can tell you are very accurate in your description Shortbus! :cool:

Holy Swag to the podium women! Nice. Sarah - from the Cutting Edge - the ripper in the black jersey with flames - had amazing things to say about the U.S. Open and it looks like she came home with a ton of swag for finishing second.

I was looking at that photo again and I'm wondering what's with all those carved guys?? Those big skeletor looking guys - is that some kind of Diablo Freeride Park Mascot thing or something?? :think: :confused: :D

okay y'all, enough with the ego boosting. it's nice you feel that way, but there are plenty others who would rightly disagree with you. count your blessings you've not yet caught me on a bad day. GROWL!!!!!

moving right along...
some crafty soul did a slew of really cool wood skelator carvings for the us open. those guys in the background are the trophies for the pros.

here's a shot of one of the lifesized carvings:

Woah those things are crazy! But they should be riding a bike instead of carrying a weapon. ;) :)

The dorado SC is no longer made correct? Also the shiver SC for 2004 is 100mm not 120mm like prior years. I don't know why everyone bashes the inverted SC forks. I think they look dope and my Shiver SC has been fine to me. Yeah, I'm 6'0 and will be using it mostly for street and light trails. Heck, if it works for DH too and I ever see a hill, I'll use it for that too. I'm just liking the look of that 05 Marz 66. Not a big fan of the crown on the marz forks (looks gay I think) but the lowers on the 66 look badass.

Oh, and we need more BMW porn on here too folks.
Sending another 1000 in next week. I'm up to 2500 almost :thumb:

Knucks - The Dorado is no longer made correct.
I haven't heard of people bashing inverted forks? Though I think the suit full sus bikes better than hardtails. if you're gonna get a Shiver get and old one. The 100mm will be too small.

You can use any post but this post is good because no seat rails for my phat butt to bend. You can use a raceface or a thompson w/ the 12mm clamps

sweet snowy goodness. always a treat to see the pink even though that headtube shot is straight up pornographic! :eek: siko, have you taken that rig back out to mtn creek since the first day?

knuckleheimer, i'm not sure about the mini or the seat you mentioned, but the other bklyn dh bikes are ridden a little differently than the """"normal"""" dh bike, so the bigger seat is more of an ASSet than a hindrance. think motocross style maneuvering. do you have any plans to hit plattekill in the next month?

Something about that pink bike with a Monster T on it... It's a little reminiscent of a very wholesome, innocent looking girl wearing black knee high, stiletto heel boots :D

I use the Thomson post and it works fine. Very light. I use a BMX seat though. I DH is just a little to burlie for my bmx style riding. Easier to grip with your knees at any rate.
