One month ago, maiden ride on my Element...Yeah I can't even remember the last time I saw a tacoed wheel.
Maybe at a bike park or something.
But if that happens, you've REALLY screwed up.....
Kidwoo needs to swing his leg over a pedal bike again and smash some of these newer dt swiss rims into some rox
Not my gig lol..we backed the orange out around 12 feet but it was a sender. Smaller and didn't need a run in... Blue was good but no speed for purple...
We backed it out 5 feet but no run in speed.
Kai had a good time never hit a bag before so it was a good time for that alone..
need an ebike with ochain
Id settle with a hill to get some speed, cheaper too...id take an o-chain though..
Yeah he was a bit too safe for that.. we used to knee board in the canals pulled by a truck on access road .. was badass till you stuffed the side of the canal ..so I'm all good with a tow...sure as shit beats some stupid ebike
you has dirtbike/side by side?
Lmao yeah they did...
Imagine 15 foot wide canals between farm fields, long tow rope and pickup on access road on side..knee boarder in canal and truck getting that thing flying...sometimes was badass, sometimes you had speed wobbles and let go too late...yes an occasional muskrat was hurt in the process.
GEE AS A GUY WHO GREW UP IN FLORIDA WITH AN ENTIRE NETWORK OF IRRIGATION CANALS OFF THE EVERGLADES AND THE WAKEBOARDING DOUCHEBAG WITH GOLD CHAIN CAPITAL OF THE UNIVERSE IN THE 90S......
I can only imagine.....
Oh, gold chains were universal amongst all douchbags in every facet in the 90s...lol not just wakeboard
Lol bike magazine , still better than RC and his jibberish..even out of print and reread has more entertainment..
Yeah regardless of how he was overly cautious (he was not a hold my beer kind of guy) and no run in, Kai had a blast and there were several guys new to jumping who got a chance to take a step towards progress and getting used to a bigger kicker.. I had a blast , it was that or be in shop all day or work on the small house out back...so it was a win win...
Also funny as hell when a guy who tries to throw a whip and it doesn't straighten out lands sideways on a bag..it grabs him and chucks him..so there was that part of fun too

legend says he still owns one from that era
Didn't know you can read German??? That is the german Bike magazine, not the US one.
I lied, I can't read im a picture guy! I'm just so used to telling the wife it's for the articles, not the pics..
The stupid part on RM's side is the fact that this bike is a blast to ride. I guess everybody who rides it to >70% of its capabilities is going to kill those cheese loops of rims (and nearly himself, like I did).
DT rims on DT hubs with 32 spokes now. We shall see
I hope you are able to test ride the new wheels before snow arrives!
Just bought one from a friend and have maybe half a dozen rides on it. Totally agree, so much fun.
Thx @all
Hm, not sure how much it weighs. Out of the box with front Rekon swapped to Forecaster and the tiny bottlecage installed it was 12.6 kg/27.7 lbs. Things I have changed since then are the WTB saddle to the SLR Kit Carbonio, SLX 2-piston calipers to XT 4-pistons, tubeless, RM branded stem to PRO Koryak 40mm and XTR trail pedals. I guess around 12.8 kg/28.16 lbs? Oh, and of course the new wheelset. XM421 on 240s with CX-Ray blades. Haven't had it on a scale since then. I can weigh it in a few days if you want.
I'm going to run DHR2 EXO Maxxgrip f / Maxxterra r in the coming months. Wet roots are a bit too much fun on Forecaster and Rekon.
needs more stuff straped to the bike
you so look like a bike cop with that stache and bum bag
I'll be voting to defund you
That's how I broke bars in silver mountain, landed a drop to Kelly hump and bench pressed the front end...always fun always good for a adrenaline rush...
Finally no sneaky weekend rain...
Was going to make today backflip day but headed to trampoline park this week first to get my gainers and vertigo under control..

We went to dog park right before this and I was having a total CRAP day ..lol couldn't balance to save my life ..so hit a few things and bagged out to airbag...
Finished the next jump in the line today. A long low one to set up for the following big hip.
