First DH laps of the year with me wife. The snow isn’t the best these days but the dirt sure is!

Wow. He did a nice job on that. I wonder is he heat treated it after welding.
I made one like that recently with a 3750 watt motor.
That Formula shock feels incredible. That thing is going straight on my DH bike for today’s laps.
So it's Fall?
Awesome! No fucking about eh? a Proper Alpine spec Eeb!
How does it handle with such a big battery pack fairly forward mounted?
And what does it weigh all in?
I don't actually think he welded any of the frame. I think it's all been cut out/milled to accept custom bolt in cradles/mounts etc.
Yeah, we had snow but then there was rain up to 3000m.
This was from last Friday

The wife surfing low tide conditions.
those and your bike pics are 4 days apart?
there must be some elevation between those two
Got lost on wrong way Wednesday and found some proper XC trails off the main loops, did 32km in the bush then had to go to work for a quick breakdown.
Thanks man. I didn’t weigh it yet but I can still manual and jump it so it’s not too heavy.
It rides so much better than I thought it would and the battery helps load the front tire in corners. I only did one lap on the WC DH track but was giggling all the way down. It’s enjoyable whatever it is!
Maybe a 1000 ft difference. There wasn’t much depth in those pics and now it’s all gone. We’re also not at super high elevation here. Champery is at 3000ft and the top of the tram is at 6000ft. There are a lot of micro climates here due to the southerly winds coming up from Italy and Africa. We got that fuckin Foehn hot wind and then 2 days of very high winds with heavy rain. It‘s like spring slush up there now and rained again all yesterday.
Mid December was nice even though there was no base. It’ll come back.
These are from Dec 15.
at least jesus provides........dirtbikes
Hallelujah! Can I get an AMEN!?!?!
We made the call to allow bikes on the tram but they have to wash them each run so as to not stain the white pants of the Dutch fur hooded ladies. Shit show hello!
I try and it’s perfect riding season right nowWow, a new member who actually rides bikes?

I couldn't have done this little loop at the start of my holidays so I was pretty happy to be able to knock it out without having to stop for a rest.
I did miss a km or so as someone has moved some logs that marked a turn and I went the wrong way.
Celebrate with BBQ and beer.

Wife doing her fork bushings between laps. Her arm pump went away with fresh seals and sized bushings. She was extra stoked to have done it herself.

And here's me spraying my fork lower out with brake clean, seems I didn't read the ingredients and now have noisy/swollen bushings, hahaha!
But the fork is super smooth, it's weird.
For those moments when you feel lonely.
Partially iced over wooden stuff made for some spicy times but I've never met a teeter I couldn't totter.
I've been totted by a theeter. I blame the rider 8 ft behind me.
Nope, but I'd love to try. Got any pics?
There's only been 1.5 teeters around here that had a sketch factor high enough to make me not be confident doing them, one of which (possibly both) hasn't existed for many years. Lynn Woods rotating teeter to flat huck and B&T teeter at the top of a steep rock roll.
Looks like Yudicky.
Man, I wish...I think I might have a slide or 2...if so, I'll post em
Had to turn around shortly after this, as there is something wrong with my rear hub. Ughhhhh. Hopefully it's just a bearing or something, but it feels like one of the pawls is getting stuck and then suddenly snaps into place. Twas also preventing the cassette from freewheeling a few times.
Le sigh.
