Shows what the simple folks from the OC know about who actually builds and maintains the freeways.
The OC is so Republican you have to pay to drive on the freeway!
he did indeed sir.

Stage shot from our Sat group ride.
Fireroad to hell.
Fireroad to hell.
idyllwild rocks!
Fast, semi techy, a ton of corners loose with rocks and jagged logs etc.....
A definate good time wit ha lot more to ride than what we hit.
Jonkranked came along as well and aside of a wash out on 1 STUPID VERY STUPID corner it was great.
Bike turned out to be FAST once I started to get used to it and re learn my cornering from prior bike.
Anywase its a 3+ mile shuttle trail minimal pedaling with lots of good stuff and apparently to our left and up a little is a place called devils gut. Drops, rocks tech etc...
Ill pop a pic of us at the top, too much riding and no action pics.

Surprised you guys aren't taking bets on who gets their bike done first me or Pavel!
FYI, I'll be posting a trailer for the Sea Otter video I shot in the very near future. It'll be in the DH forum, I'll post here when its up 
Looking good P, but you need to get a TI spring for the bling factor.
I have my money on Scott for getting his together first. I woudnt doubt if the Wilson gets its final touches tonight.
and here are some action pics from our Sunday OC ride.
boosting on Ash Hill.
CA gap
The guys name is Compton and he's only been riding for a month. Did some red bull rampage type of roller on Saturday which had most of us thinking he was nuts. No pics of me since I wrecked early and ended up shuttling most of the day, and no pics of Edgy cuz he's just too damn fast.

Trav needs to play host to this mcnasty and excite trail, extend trail or was it intense trail that he keeps speaking of soon. 
i picked up 2 different steel springs with 50lbs of difference to get the suspension dialed properly.. theeen i might think about the Ti bling, which seems totally frivolous at the moment. Maybe a x-mas present or somethin.Looking good P, but you need to get a TI spring for the bling factor.
And yes.. my money is on Scott as well.. considering the amount of OT i'm working right now
Picking the Wilson up tomorrow at lunch.
Need to mount the UST tires, install the rear brake, install the star nut, and put on the pimpest grips ever!

Little nasty, intense trail and a slew at idyllwild! 
nice editing!video is up in the DH forum
Thanksnice editing!
another small teaser.. well, it's practically done i guess.. just need to wire up the drivetrain and swap some pivot bearings.
cranks and guide went on without much trouble at all. chainline seems perfect.
Hope/Formula bling
oldschool EX729's, i really liked the clean look of these rims.

Dude, nice brake setup. What made you decide over the Codes?
well.. i rode Gordon's R9 in SLO, which had Formulas on it. The rear brake needed a bleed, but they still felt pretty choice.
My Juicy 7's have always had enough power for me, but were noisy as hell and rotors would bend easily.
Formulas have more power than J7's, are light, quiet, have thicker rotors and a very good lever feel.
I got a good deal on these, and really wanted to try something other than Avid brakes.

Riding the trails this weekend and doing a shoot with Bobby so if anyones down we will be hitting up the spots here.
All trails are shuttle and SJT is on the list as well as intense and little nasty. Possibly another spot if I can get directions.

FORMULAS ROCK!
yeah, gordon came over for a beer on tuesday and he had his rig. the formulas felt nice. he said they were in awful shape and needed a bleed and a pad cleaning. regardless, the levers felt great!
Better than your Louise's?
Louise's have felt the best to be so far and don't use toxic brake fluid which is really nasty stuff.
what do you guys think?

I was thinking about possibly building a budget HT for summit and other excursions. Think I can get this and build it complete for under 3 or 4?

Foe shizzle.
I've got some a set of wheels and cranks I could sell for super cheap. Next most expensive thing would be a fork.
i say DO IT! 75 bucks is a steal! you pay more for dinner!
if you build it though, you HAVE to come out to the DJ's
That's where I come in
I've got an '07 Pike 426 coil with a firm spring installed, silver lowers, the one off my Saber. Great condition, willing to sell pretty cheap for a local buyer...hint...hint...
EDIT - it would also come with the stock (medium) spring. Starnut is installed, need to check steerer length, PM me if you're interested.
let me know where you are going to be saturday morning.... still sorry i missed out on last weekends antics
Looks like I'm the only one going to Woodward this weekend. I can't really ride cause I'm still sick but I'll be filming the races. I've also never ridden park and the Hanger will be open :biggrin:
Were doing a Sunday session from AM to PM, Drews breaking out several thousand $ in camera equiptment (He photogs for the magazines) that I get to help lug!let me know where you are going to be saturday morning.... still sorry i missed out on last weekends antics
And Jonkranked is working on a camers set up so we can get in berm and out and stitch them together. as well as handlebar mounts and rear facing while riding and Drew is brining the helmet cam as well. (plus a shovel for digging!)
Its a good chance to get some good quality action shots of yourself.
Bobby is popping up early sunday am and we'll be around here within 20 minutes of my place. Either SJT, Intense trail and little nasty.
Sat everyones busy unfortunently (Im going to sneak a intrense trail ride in to scout good corners), but Sunday we'd love to have you join us!
my sunday is looking hectic, but let me see if i can move some things around........ i'll call you tomorrow
