Had a Warmed over XC FS rig MTB for all mountain duty and bought a DH bike after being in the workforce for awhile.
Don't over extend yourself with toys in college.

A lot of groups help maintain Taneum.wheelchaser said:
Oh and Skookum. You really need to ride out in the boon docks out there(Taneum)....there are some NICE trails where the bulk of people don't get to.

i've probably been to a few, although i gotta admit i don't make it out there as much since i'm all over the place in the summer.RhinofromWA said:Oh and Skookum. You really need to ride out in the boon docks out there(Taneum)....there are some NICE trails where the bulk of people don't get to.
Did you know you can ride Taneum over to Greenwater (up the road from Enumclaw on 410) if you were so inclined? You'd need a DS to use a few forest roads though.
15 years or so ago I made it dang near to hwy 495(I think?) Chinook Pass. But with a moto tank (~2gallons) and quart bottles of premix taped to your number plate and in your fanny pack only get you so far.Skookum said:
But yeah a DS (street legal dirt bike) and a big tank would be the ticket
Have you ever seen the mini ex and the trail crews working out there? Where do you think the money to pay for all that comes from?RhinofromWA said:A lot of groups help maintain Taneum.

I am jaded from getting attitude from user groups with anti-access views and agendas. While I'm at it those of you who think the WTA is your friend are misguided. One of their main objectives is to eliminate access to all wheeled user groups. Ever hear of Wilderness Designation? This mean no mechanized vehicles which includes mtn bikes. They want the woods all to themselves, motorcycles are too loud mtn bikes are too quiet.
Oh yah did I mention how sweet your new bike looks?

True, the maintenance $$$ is funded by motoriders/Jeepers/etc $$$, but the sweat equity is spread shared by many.wheelchaser said:Have you ever seen the mini ex and the trail crews working out there? Where do you think the money to pay for all that comes from?

You race (hairscrambles/woods)? My club is putting on a Grand Prix out at Pacific Raceways (Old SIR) Feb 3rd. MX track, Pavement, Woods, clear cut, grass track....really a fun event. Short course (time-wise) is about 1.5 hours of racing.

Not really. Just putting it in perspective. This bike has been used so little that it is basically a left over (dicounted) new bike.kinghami3 said:*Showing how overpriced DH bikes are.

Nice bike. I've got a local indoor MX place to ride my CRF250R (www.hindsightmx.com) and I go to the indoor BMX park to ride my bicycle. the rain hasn't been bothering me much.
