Clear action shots with your typical digital camera are very difficult to get. BAH's VERY GOOD camera takes excellent images. Have you monkey's taken any action snaps that are this good? I challenge you to post them. I won't because I haven't. I am submitting BAH's web site to Dirt Biker magazine - I hope he has lot's of free bandwidth...

Have you had any issues with getting the bead to set on the Arrow? I have a somewhat difficult time getting it set right, it tends to blow off when filling it up. Also last time I was at Whistler the tire blew right off the rim. It sucked, I was near the top and had to walk all the way down.

This is the first time i've put a Maxxis on an arrow....but I've never had a problem with the Michelins and arrows...
 
Damn Freak, you've got more toys than Castle Superstores! How's the geometry of that bad boy? It actually looks pretty normal, in spite of the six inch fork.
I've never been a huge hardtail fan, but that has to be the sickest one I've ever seen.
I'm dying to see your next project.:D

Give us a review on that sherman. Im gonna probably get on on the new k2 bike coming out. Unfortunalty the sample forks we have had in all sucked. Hopefully they were just early production models. Im curious what others thought of the fork.
Yea I'll let you know how it is....I'm thinking of heading over to Rat Pac on Sat with it...Maybe...

One thing I noticed, tho. Where's all the girls? Aren't there any in your area?

Thanks to Rhino for hooking me up with my 2002 Bullit from his RDR teammate. It's finally together. Doc gave the okay to ride, so I should be taking it to Snoqualmie this weekend on its maiden voyage.

Cool! What kind of bike is that? Who makes it? Nice cranks BTW.

that was cold, and obviously said out of jealousy, both of my bike and my superior (to you anyways) skills. I forgive you. But you really need to show more productive ways of venting your jealousy. I'll tell ya what, I'll think about letting you ride my beauty tonight, but just for a quick spin. Any longer and you will experience a rare disorder called Horstleitner Syndrome. Symptoms of withdrawal are hallucinations, diarrhea, and thinking you're a good rider because you can show old ladies and cops your skinny. So you must only ride it for a block or so.

Leigh gets her biked hauled around in RDR's trailer and Chandler is really fast! I think it is Sara Johnson I see racing more, but all of them are at the WIM races and many of them hit the CPR series up here.

You know them well Lucee?

I met them when we all turned pro together. (The Sara's & me), I met Leigh a few years ago at Mammoth, when they were running the Velocity. Then, I stayed w/them & Freak at Big Bear this year.

I wouldn't say we're best buds, but I really liked hanging with them. And, Sara's given me an open invitation to come ride & check out the new house. I think I'll hafta do that!!:D

The interior of your Suburban is ginormous! :D Truck-camping at Whistler shouldn't be a pain at all... I wish I could do that.

[preserving your spelling for all to see just in case you decide to pull a quick edit :eek: :D ]

I spent a few uncomfortable nights in the back of my parents' (but soon to be mine :eek: ) Pathfinder two summers ago. Six inches more length would have done the trick, but as it was, I ended up curled every which way... :(

That guide needs to be rotated more...the upper needs to be closer to the 12 o'clock position...
