I wanted to head to Marquette soon too...But I didn't want to make the drive up alone as most my friends have to work during the week. I've got some friends that will show us around to all the good trails too.

Are you still in the Traverse City area? The trails arent torn down at all....Ill show ya around if ya want.

hey how was your trip? idk if u got my message but i had and idea 4 Area 51 and wondered if u had gone up there and built in a while...

yea no prob man. yea it is a huge bummer bout the trails they were insane. good luck w. your stunts

the trails in traverse city actually just got torn down . but there is boyne highlands like 2 hours north of traverse. and marquette mountain in marquette. thats a far ways away, but well worth it

hey i uploaded that pic

yeah dude i will..no prob.if u have any other questions just holla..

i love it so much..the plushest bike i have ever ridden...and i just love the set up and feel oof big hits period..i use to have and 03 big hit....but i would definetly recomend buying one...they r good for everything..

done bra.....you had access to everythin but to "read" the session section...haha....oops...all fixed up now

$hit.....you should have access...lemme check the setting I may have missed that section...sorry bout that...take me a sec

Not sure if you've been watching the GORc board or my board but Castlewood seems to be a go for design and proposal. Sam wants me as the lead and essentailly said come up with ideas so start watching my board and posting ideas. I should probably meet up with some of you guys in the near futre just to BS and throw ideas out and maybe ride if this stupid a$$ rain ever stops

Not much you can do really..

Well.. You have a coiler, so all you really need is some light tires, tubes, a long stem, and some light parts and get into it. Its awesome training and killer cardio. Once you get onto a mountain all you've got to do is swap your stem and tires and you're on a FR rig.

Tons of fun. You should find some races, You'd be amazed.

yo, I'm finally slowing starting to get my site and forum going. I have talked with several other people and they are straight fed up with GORC's righteous BS. They aren't even necessarily freeriders, but support it and want to build trails with all types of styles in mind. Lomg story short, i will be posting more regular updates as well as building the site to give more reason to go there. Anybody you know who wants to get this stuff going send them to the site and tell them to register.

Later

hahah it thought i was tryin to say c*nt! lol but whatever, he always told me he had an account...

our lil' fraannndd frum da c*ntry finully gots a pinkbikes account.

i will look for the trees today, I didn't even notice them....btw I scouted the site for the c'wood stuff some more and if it can be designed right there could actually be some sick $hit put in there, especially if we can use the steep a$$ hill right at the 90 degree turn, i will put pics of the area up on my site in the next day or so

from this point (video clip above) and a larger drop to the left (from the vantage point in the video) there are awsome lines and you can carry speed like mad..i was puttin ass in this clip..i'm going to feel around about seeing if we can get some new lines spawning off from the "steps" area...stay tuned

i pm'd you the site address and where to click to get to the forum...

no i live in champaigin, its like 3 hours south of chicago

good luck putting ur drop back together douche bag

sup? i can work at the horse trail today. ill give u a call after school, and ill pick u up.

Yeah. Unless you know all of the internal's of your forks, and have a shock pump and proper tools for doing it, Just bring it into the shop. get your forks tuned for your weight, and rebound to the way you like.

Just dont do it yourself.

Well qualitywise, Dont buy an 04' Jr T, thats what I'm running. its pretty nice. but not adjustable, and you dont recieve full travel. if I we're you. you seem to freeride more than anything, stick with the SC just get your drop-off's tuned (I had mine done by a pro DH circuit rider) and they'll be PLUSH

Sweet shit.

No problem. Where did you buy those top caps for your forks?

f*cking rights it did. I've actually got some frame damage on my chainstay because of it. and you may have a problem downshifting and the chain getting stuck when it falls off, first thing, that fix (granny gear) is on warranty. and a guide, Good idea. I'm running a blackspire stinger on mine, Damn fine. look into it, I still have 2 rings! and can race DH!

NWD8 if u order it get 2 and i will pay ya for it so the sippin is less.......
