Better just drop out for a while. Come back in a year or two and it should be a distant memory.
It takes a lot to get me into a surf shop these days. The flashbacks are too painful. I saw the '80s the first time around and it wasn't pretty.

Seconded ! Especially the HA and BB height on the FR and DH.
So today's DH test rides were: Trek Session 88, Mongoose Boot'R, Commencal DH Supreme 2009.
Tried to get a jamis (none), GT carbon (none) and a few others.

the SRAM media kit is showing early 2009 availablilty on the new Boxxer. I want one.
Your thoughts would be appreciated Fraser. The Commencal is on my short list of frames for next year and I'd like to get your impressions. Also, do you think the sm/md size is the way to go for someone 5'9"? Thanks.
thoughts on the mongoose would be appreciated
Full report coming. Just had food. Working on beers. Content will follow.
Can I get some super sick Litter stickers if I attend the show?
Any other places with pictures from Interbike?
I think the sm/md size is the best for you, I rode a 2009 for the last week of the season because my 2008 didn't hold up to well, I'm 185-186cm(6'0/6'1) and it felt pretty big on me.

Wow vaporware! They only waited until standards changed what, 3 or 4 times?
Hmmm any comments?
where can i swipe my credit card?

Did Transcend drink too many beers and passout? Where's his update? 
While you're waiting check out Svens pics http://www.dirtmag.co.uk/news/category/products/interbike-day-1-part-3/dirt-1231945.html
Did anyone else notice the price of the new Dorado? Check out Pinkbike. $2,775. Yeah, I'll take two.
Why the hell the pic quality is so bad it looks shopped?
Hmmm any comments?
If it's true it may mean that bos is doing sth with marz again. Would be nice to see.
I know, right? It's vegas though, so anything is possible...like waking up naked in a hotel lobby with the cops hauling you away. Or maybe he got married and went on a honey money. I'm sure he'll hit us off with a double shot of photos tonight.Did Transcend drink too many beers and passout? Where's his update?
Pictures of the Tomac booth?
I can't lie, beer is involved with the delays. We have had a couple technical issues that changed the plans a bit but we should be able to start posting a few things tonight. Usual monkey business.Did Transcend drink too many beers and passout? Where's his update?
more pics of this:
My fairly confident guess is phone camera. Why would anyone go through the hassle of chopping a pic like that???
Even if I have my $400 camera along, I tend to shoot the GOOD stuff with my phone as I can instantly email them to myself and post them up right away. Hence the best stuff is always the worst looking, but faster...
And it looks like they really took their time in putting that Foes together.... pedals look sucky though...
Looks like an expansion chamber for the PAR chamber on 888 SLs. I thought about doing the same thing on my 07 in hopes of getting full travel.
Sweet! A dice valve cap on that expansion chamber. That is so 90's bmx bike of them...
Or you could just take the PAR piston out entirely...
can you take the PAR piston out of a '08 88 ATA?
Correct In one
As mentioned, tech issues with the new RM system. Content is ready to go momentarily however, so keep an eye out. 2 days of dirt demo riding reviews. Not too much product yet, as everything at the demo was 107 degs, dusty and sweaty. much better pics to be had indoors.
Content coming.

Just got back from the DD. Got to ride two bikes and drank two beers and lots of water...all for free! One of the two shuttle vehicles kicked the bucket so it was like 1hr wait times for that. There are a heck of a lot of roadies and XC'ers here. Who knew? And they all want to ride the shuttle. My Perp got a flatty, but I got my hands on a DW 5 Spot that was absolutely awesome. Transcend is right, it is HOT, dusty and I'll add crowded. Kinda a pain to demo stuff. Off to the pool!
