Someone's addicted to freeriding. :lol: Wish I could join ya...
sorry dude, I'd join ya', but I'll be skiing at Killington :lol:
Dude, have fun! I'll be getting my pass and likely getting fitted to some boots.... I wouldn't want to wear myself out before the AZ tour de wussy anyway.

If that bike is in good shape then that is a bargain. Some frames can cost as much as 2500 hundy or more. I think that bike has a totem air on it. That alone is like 1000 bucks.

Spent a little less than that on mine, but you are way beyond my bikes capabilities.

I guess what I tried to say is that my bike is far from what you are looking for, it is a 4" cross country cruiser. The more travel for you the better Pat so that you can hopefully get a few years out of a bike.
i need to educate myself on this subject. I do want a better bike but i dont see $1600 in the cards. I dont spend anywhere near that on ski equiptment. hell, my skis cost $99 brand new.

amen brother.. i thought MTB was going to be my cheap summer time activity... :dunce:
:lol: :lol:
I hope you wear good walking shoes for when that frame snaps in the middle of the woods.
Glad you're enjoying it Pat, but as you're finding out MTB isn't exactly a cheap sport. Especially when you start doing nutty freeride type stuff.

BTW - Are you going to make it on Thursday?
I'm trying to make it happen. this work thing keeps rearing its ugly head. I'll bring my bike tomorrow and play it by ear.

Pat,
With the stuff you have been hitting, its not a matter of if that frame will break, its just a matter of when. When the time comes you should look into getting a beefy 6" All Mountain / Free Ride bike that can take the abuse you will throw at it.

Gotta be too good to be true. A $4K bike for $1,600 with one ride on it? That doesn't add up for me.
Pat's light weight is his saving grace right now. A 180+ lb. guy would have snapped that thing already doing what he does. I would be more concerned about getting hurt when it finally breaks than having to walk out. Or perhaps Pat can become the spokesperson for Diamondback, indicating he's thrown everything he has at the bike and it just keeps on rolling. :lol:
If/when you get an AM/ free ride bike, it's going to be a different world for you Pat. Scary proposition actually. :-o
