wow.

i can see why you're stoked Lee!

sick.

shutup you fucking jong

DT frame is 9.5 lbs with air shock or 10.5 with coil.

a proper build that complements the frame should be using DH/FR components with DH tires and is unlikely to get below 36-38 lbs. i've never...

Knolly D-T and Chromag TRL is a combo that i can endorse

wendigo, i would love to see a photo of your setup.

popped one of the rivets and while i can get it replaced with another rivet for free in a few days the bolt option with loctite sounds a lot...

sorry to hear this.

hope everything gets sorted out quickly and smoothly.

nicely done.

after Sharon left yesterday I was setting off slabs on little rollovers in the open. running on hoar from Monday night. unusually sketchy for Cyps ...

ummmm, on cyps last night i didn't see any tracks that weren't down the road / green run.

that 50-60cm we got on thursday and friday is so light that unless you have seriously fat skis you're...

50cm of light snow on top of 20cm hard crust tonight at cyps. it would be killer conditions if only there was actually some coverage.

hydrogen is more of an energy storage medium like batteries. as such it doesn't actually help much until our grid is cleaner.

you can't mine, farm, or grow hydrogen gas. it takes energy to...

really cool thread. way out of my league though.

we run $190 18" Poulan for mountain bike trail work and so far they work great. seeing as it's trail work they're only used a day or two a week...

up here in Canada, MEC has some merino layers in the $60 range. fit can be hit or miss for some people though, but much more affordable than the big brand names.

no matter to me as i know a few mags who will happily pass the needed deets on to me if this happens.

but thanks for enforcing. it's cute.

would ya do LPs without bindings?

at 310 it would be very hard to not go in for a group buy.

second the cheap tarp cut to size. just a lil heavier than tyvex.

i know some people who do this and think it's the tits

but sorry, it's just cross-country skiing while you're being pulled by dogs? big deal. it's like dog sled racing without a sled.

armour and pads are mainly for cuts and bruises. good to have, but if you crash at DH speeds you're getting fucked up no matter how much gear you are wearing.

and i am not convinced that any leg...

have you ridden the trails at WBP? if not, you really have no idea how shitty they are. personally i won't pay to ride them as braking bump laden machine made trails are a waste of time. i'd...

uhh dude is on a hardtail. the best fork in the world is still going to give hand pain if it's put on a hardtail and ridden on the dog shit they offer at whistler bike park.

sorry but even with a...

CBC free in '08 and proud of it

can't believe people here.

if you're getting knee pain you should stop riding a hardtail at Whistler. it's that simple.

just because you see young kids riding a hardtail at Whistler doesn't...

dude, you'd have to pay me to ride a HT in WBP. i think you're somewhat justified in whining as no doubt it mustn't feel that great.

i'd either buy a dual suspension bike or start...

have the 185s. 5'11' & 170lbs.

perfect for me for tree skiing and open stuff too. they turn so easily on any kind of soft snow. i have no need for the 192s but if you were bigger or mainly...

my JONG ass thanks you for posting this.

even if the predictions about future bubbles is off, it is a very interesting read about the dot-com and housing bubbles ...

lifts closing is wicked. those who still want to ski will still be skiing up there, except now we have it almost to ourselves ...

one more from this trip.

here's Lee shredding the 50-deg gnar coolers with free heels for style points:
