Hey guys....


Just figured I'd say hey and give a short bit about myself. I'm a sophomore in college and have been riding for about as long as I can remember. I have worked in bike shops for the past 6 years or so now and have been racing the past 2.

I race XC on a Klein Attitude Race with a mix of XTR, King, and White Brothers.

I used to race DH in the midwest (doesn't count, I know) on a Versus Blitz but will be building a new bike in '08.

I raced DS and 4X on a built up Kona Scrap but have now switched to a Dobermann Pinscher for my hardtail. It will be for just about everything. Jumping, park, urban, racing.... you name it. It's being built with Profile Cranks, a Nemessis Projects Tuned Zocchi 4X, hadley hubs, BB7 brakes and a couple other goodies.

Well, thats the short. I'm here because I don't have enough forums to post on yet and want to get up to date on the whole freeride/DH scene for the most part.

Haha.... I have a road bike, but that's just embarrassing. Haha I bought it primarily to train with and may do a bit of road racing before mountain season starts up this spring.

I'm sure that first post came off kind of racerish.... There is still nothing I love more than a good urban ride with locals or jumping for fun at a local BMX track. I'm actually heading up to Ray's this weekend. It's just that when I build bikes now I somehow always end up thinking of how they can or will be raced.

Time to go wrench.
