patience is a virtue. i genrally dont pride myself on being a particularly virtuous person, but being patient has yet to let me down. i have had in my possession a 2001 santa cruz bullit for 6 days and have yet to get a good chance to ride it. until today.


man oh man, what a bike. i took it out for some solo urban. i rode all the normal spots that i ride on my sugar. im still in shock at how great this bike handles. it feels so solid. when i jump i feel like the bike launches me into the air. when i land its solid. i just stick to the ground. in one day my manuals have improved.

it wierd, really wierd, having a bike this nice. the fork is so solid. the rear suspension is full squish. the disk brakes are kind of scary. this is my first bike with disks. i forsee an accident involving too much brake but im working on it.

i dont have pics yet. i know i know, some people have been bugging me for porn. soon, i will have pics soon.

all in all im am super psyched about this bike. i cant wait to get out and ride some more. it is really unbelievably nice. i cant wait to race it.

week from tomorrow baby, yeeeeeaaaaaah!!

Awesome, so you decided to go for the Bullit after all.

What fork is on it?

Remember: one finger on the discs. That should help the braking problem. First time I got discs, I grabbed a handful of what my brain told me were fairly weak V-brakes and what quickly followed was a spectacular attempt at imitating Superman...

Definitly get some pictures up!

Ooh.. You think that feels solid, wait until you slap a nice DC on there.. You won't believe the difference on your first DH trip from your previous ride. Night and day.

A Super T would be an excellent choice! A Boxxer would be a tad lighter but requires a little more maintinance.

Not sure, where ever the camping area is. I haven't been there, so I'm not familiar with where anything is.

I will defininetly be there this time. If we are lucky, then we will have a photographer and shuttle bunny (my wife may be coming along for the trip).

Any of you Arkie know anything about the Buffalo River? If Jen comes along, we will bring our kayaks (touring/rec boats) to hit a river on the way home.

Looks like your ready for Windrock. Plan a trip real soon.
