housewarming at bullcrew's = roof hucks and skinny rides in the back yard.
gotta break the house in proper
Some little groms built a hip jump, drop and some berms on the water tower trail. I stared a path 6 months ago when I moved in and I ran it yesterday with a weighted pack and noticed the trail building fairys had visited my trail. I do believe in fairys, I do, I do! :D
Good work from them as well, nice launch and good layout.
Its extremely loose and rocky, steep at points and easy to wreck on.. Its a good ride down with alot of potential and 400 yds to the base from my garage.

ok dudes. more hardtail porn.
i apologize in advance for the geeky nature of this post.

finally built it up last weekend... been riding it for a week, getting used to the geo and making sure everything is snug and in proper working order.

this bike is FUN to ride!!

full frontal (excuse the size)


Vendetta cranks are the bomb! Super stiff, and pretty damn light. Not as easy to install as 2 piece mtb cranks, but once you have them dialed they're pimp!


Hadley SS rear hub :rockout:


Took me a long time to sort out the fork situation, but Gordon finally came through and hooked up the goods! The Argyle is rad, simple and solid. 6 clicks of compression to go from nice and plush to "i can barely compress it" stiff. Perfect DJ/street fork.


did i mention this bike is FUN to ride

Rode Sully yesterday with my cousin from SD.

I think we pissed off some rigid 29er riders when we crossed the foot deep pool at full speed. They tried to gingerly step around it only to have us splash them. Payback...long story.

clearly the fault lies with the bike..
look at the flex on that crappy fork

only a 40 would pull you out of that corner

anybody know this guy? 'cause it looks like he's having a hard time riding his bike. Bikes fault or pilot error?

I like your build P..."reminds me of my jeep, i wanna ride it." r kelly

Fontucky conditions today were the best I've ever ridden, serio esses! The ground was so super tacky and fast...for others I'm sure:rolleyes: Edge and Bull ended up on the Podium in their class and scored some real diamond crystal bling bling trophys. I on the other hand didnt fare so well. I'm thinking about dropping down a class into semi beginner, may do a bit better there.

After further review of the picture above, it looks like that "unknown rider" did in fact do it on purpose. You can see that no pressure was applied to the rear brake while the the front lever was juiced. Perfect dismount technique...A+

Neither. The fault lies completely on the brakes. They should have computed the lean angle of bike, angle bars are turned and the speed, then they would have known not to apply full pressure just because of a fistful of front brake. :poster_oops:

I know I should pedal and it'll help me along the wall but dammit, shuttling is just so much funner. I'll be down for Stunt if we do it more than once or hit something else after, I'm coming from the OC now.
