Ben, you ride goofyfoot?
Nope, I ride regular, left foot forward. Why?
Ben, thanks for that kickass porn. That Clifcat is the first I'll looked at and been able to say "WOW, I want that in my house." Too sick.
'cuz the bashguard on that gimp is on for goofyfoot riding
no. left forward is reguilar and right forward is goofy.
Holy jeez, are the chainstays on the Tankass as short as they look?!
[edit] Just read Unreal's specs - 15.25" - yes they are! Manual machine! It's like a 7 pound trials bike

That's retarded. I've ridden right foot forward my entire life and it is in no way goofy. But when I try riding left foot forward it feels really goofy.
it's not derogitiory, it's just that most people are more comfortible w/ the left foot forward, hense it being regular. than MTBR's adopted some snowboard terminology and called right foot rides goofy riders. snowboarders have the same naming system, it's not goffy for you but overall it's for most.
youre goofy.
Unreal - how come those pics I can't find on the site? I think they totally sell the bikes! I'd never wanted a Clifcat till that pic!
i know it's not derogatory, i was making a silly joke. nevermind. oh, so much of conversation is lost over the inter-web. time for more sex...
i just realized those "american flags" in the unreal pics are actually adbusters flags. those kick ass.
with your left hand 
i'm like that cept reversed.... i ride right foot forwards, but snowboarded (which i've done once) i have my left foot forwards. maybe it has more to do with which way your body prefers to rotate?
mmm hmmm

what size bike is that? looks huge
Its got 24-inch wheels front and rear (which makes the bike look "bigger"), but seat tube is only 13.50, so it's actually not "huge" at all.

snap!
i did that too
i did that too
Yup,
Most of the Bommers out in the wild are doing just fine, but more then a small handful either folded or snapped at exactly that spot. I guess that was the result of using double butted tubing and a large downtube gusset, it ended up focusing the stresses on the thinner part of the tube. Woops!
One of the cool things about Planet X is that theyre always evolving their frames. They realized that some riders where pushing those bikes HARD, and the frames werent holding up, so around mid 2002 they changed the design of both the Bommer and the Gimp to use a strait gauge down tube and revised gussets. It added almost a pound to the bike if I remember right, but the new ones have absolutely no problem at that spot

I know I've posted my bike before, but I can't resist another one in the snow, plus a new custom rotored hope c2.
