I strongly suggest building a backyard pump track; you and your kids will love it. Designing mine now.

that interview is kickass mate! love the bare bones shop
proves that you dont need fancy shit to make a kickass bike
the GGDH temptation is real

hopefully they'll still be making this when it comes time for me to get another DH bike
Tell me about it. I'm ~6000 miles away from their HQ, and the new Megatrail looks tastier and tastier every day. Even more when I'm being told by my boss there is a slight chance I'd be flying to Boulder to work there for a week...
(fingers crossed)
Since @mtg is too proud to do this, I will go ahead put this out there. We need a kickstarter campaign to raise money for their legal defense fund when they eventually get sued by one (all?) of the big 3.

That may be an awesome/expensive trip

Even the inevitable new bike purchase?
I *might* use the corporate card, but I'll be the one paying for it in the end ;-).Even the inevitable new bike purchase?
careful with that one, many companies have policies in place that prevent the use of company cards for personal purchases, and in some cases that is grounds for firing.
1. Use corporate card to acquire GG stoke panzer
2. Celebrate new purchase with front range riding, local beer and hooker(s)
3. Get Matt/Will drunk and obtain South American BAMF status
4. Moar celebrating
5. Upon return home, explain to boss that using the company card earned tons of credit card points that can be used for things like getting office supplies and a fancy coffee maker...in fact, you deserve a promotion for helping the company.
6. Profit
Do it! Intuitive ride characteristics for mountain crushing and smiles for miles (kicks for klicks?).
You could actually do it, but once the post-trip audit is complete, the final tap will be on you. At least, that's how intra-company policies work here.
Anyway, I'm broke. But just being able to shake @mtg 's hand, tour the facilities (if allowed) and demo a Medium MT (is that OK? I'm 6' 0" and ride a 467mm reach Orbea Rallón in size L currently) will totally make my day.
If you end up in Boulder for a week, you'll be close to a bunch of great riding just to the North and South. Keep us posted and we'll make sure you make the most of any free time.
Thanks for the offer! I'll wait with my fingers crossed. Let's hope the customer doesn't pull back on this one.If you end up in Boulder for a week, you'll be close to a bunch of great riding just to the North and South. Keep us posted and we'll make sure you make the most of any free time.
You should definitely stop by if you make the trip to Boulder. You can certainly take a tour, rent a demo bike and we can point you towards some kickass riding.
Alternative Bikes?
I can't take 'im like that.
What are you using to design and then will you self build?
I keep eyeing up a section of our land but not sure if it's big enough, the rest of our plot is too steeply sloped.
Graph paper and eyeballs. I'd be building it myself. We have a large lot but most of it is taken up with other stuff (lawn w/play structure, pool, deck etc). The section I have to work with isn't that big, so it will be a 20" and smaller type affair. If it doesn't work out we'll do a half pipe instead (they love riding their bikes at the skate park).
dude, I will volunteer labor if you want to do this. don't think that you can't use the steep bits.
The flat area is about 17*57' so that should be big enough for something fun. We were trying to work out if we have enough usable dirt or where to get some from...
Let me know if have a ton of free time right now and I live right outside boulder
saw someone at a big local group ride today rocking a stealth black megatrail. it was hawt. i stole it and rode it up a really muddy hill.
Thanks mtg
When you see it....
That kid has 29r eyeballs- uuuuuuge!
