Any Mountain Bikers on Here?

Wow, I still ride alot, but don't have many recent pics. Here is some vintage stuff. Currently ride a Santa Cruz vp-Free with Marz 66 and a 2011 Specialized Enduro Comp (converted to coil front and rear).

I've been a couple times with my friend's bike. Man those bikes are really really light compared to the wal-mart ones . There is a trail that I live less than a mile away and its pretty popular around metro atlanta. Blankets creek bike trail if anyone has ever heard of
 
ohh hey! i mountain bike, i ride a 09 cannondale prophet lefty. haha pretty rad, kinda sucks for bigger drops though like in mammoth, saving up my money this summer to buy a 09 kona stinky, or transition tr250. i normally ride in the santa monica mountains. there are some pretty fun trails, nothing really freeride oriented though :(
 
LOL, does your mom know you are running red lights??

No, and neither does SPD because they can't read my plates HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! Jkjk. By the way, I'm planning on hitting up Lincoln Parish Park in Ruston, La once a week this summer if you wanna join

Great pics I've been looking at an Enduro EVO for my all mt ride, just waiting for my friend who has been interviewing at Specialized to see if I can buy it through him. Here is a pic of my gone but not forgotten Spec Bighit. I find myself just tearing up DH runs, when I catch big air I usually get hurt, I'm not very graceful when it comes to landing.

That's ok, I'm not very graceful at fast cornering.

My local bike shop gave me a great deal on the Enduro Comp and also on the DHX coil shock and EVO linkage from Specialized and also the 170mm coil, compression, rebound dampers from RockShox for the Lyrik fork. So now the Enduro Comp is about the same as an Enduro Evo for much less money. But, ya, if you get your friend to get you a good deal on the Evo, I'd definitely go for it. Great bikes!

Here is my XC build

It's my first full suspension and with the exception of the frame I built it myself
Origin-8 RPG Frame (4.9 lbs)
Full '08 XT Dual Control/hydro component set (& pedals)
RockShox Sid Race
Fox RL
Carbon fiber bars & stem
FSA XC300 wheels with Fire XC Pros

I also have a Specialized FSR XC with mostly the same build (no hydros, deore (not XT) cranks, '06 XTR ders, RS revelation fork) but this is the only picture I have of it.

I ride a Trek 9.8 elite Carbon Fiber hardtail, I also have a Trek 8000 hardtail, a Trek 7000 (work issued) and a Lemmond Zurich Roadbike. I don't ride as much as I once did, but I plan on hitting the single tracks this summer.

Here's my last mountain bike I built up. She has changed a bit from that day, but still fun to ride. The location is Lake Leatherwood in Arkansas. What an awesome epic ride for me that day.

Full circle!

My mountain biking thing got me into this 4runner thing, since most of my riding buddies were also toyota 4x4 fanatics.

My current rides:

I forgot how much I've always wanted a Litespeed softtail, thanks for reminding me, time to save :ybrick:
 
Haro Extreme X1 - Older model, but bomb proof.
Marzocchi Bomber Z1 Dropoff 120mm
Bontrager Big Earl Cranks
Hayes 9 Hydraulic Discs
XT/XTR Components

Also have a mid-90's Schwinn Homegrown hard tail that I stripped and converted to a single speed. Super lite and fun. Very simple.
