Your 29ers in Action Shots - let's see em

[MMcG]

Alrighty we already have the 29er Bike Porn Sticky, so how about a 29ers in action photo thread.

I'll start with some shots from last night's ride with IAB and MBC.

You guys add to it as you see fit!

Nice! Where are those trails - somewhere north of NYC??

[jbogner]

Nice! Where are those trails - somewhere north of NYC??

1) Sprain ridge park in Yonkers
2) Kittatinny state park, NJ (race)
3) Skyline Drive, NJ
4) Ninham (Putnam Co, NY)
5) Blue Mountain (Peekskill, NY)(race)

Ninham are some of the best trails around. Sprain, Blue Mountain and Skyline are regular spots with less than an hour drive from the city.

I wanna see some pics of BikeGeek in action on his Inbred 29er.
But that would involve taking it outside. What if I get it dirty? :help:

I'll see if I can get peter6061 to stop hammering long enough on one of the weeknight rides to get a pic of me on it. :D

Not as bad as it looks and it is a bad shot!
There is a tiny tranny not worth mentioning.
On all smaller hits like this I tend to nollie off and suck it up towards the end to match whatever tranny there is. Always land both wheels at the same time.
Come to think of it I use the same method on the 8' porch drop at Diablo..

You are a certifiable badass. I've seen some of the other stuff you've done on video. Have you broken many frames? Just curious, what is the highest drop you can take with a rigid fork?

well that diablo transition is pretty pronounced, definitely not a tiny one, not worth mentioning.

if the ground is flat, hitting both wheels at the same time usually isn't a good idea; either that, or trials riders need their thinking readjusted. wheelie drops have their place if you are gonna drop to flat.

Diablo was ridden on an enduro expert, 6" travel and yep that porch drop is a no brainer.
You just roll off the decking and match the tranny. With such clean take off's and landings not a lot can go wrong.

Trials riders don't carry speed and ride hard tails. Of course they drop way bigger things as well.
If it is flat I touch the rear wheel down first but it can't be by more than a few inches. If it is a slow drop then I will wheelie drop into it and lower the front down slowly.
Not a fan of landing to heavy rear wheel first then the head bob as the front comes crashing down. Seen lots of people then go over the bars from the force.
I try to ride my bike in respect to landings the same way I do on a snowboard and that is always match the tranny.

Drevil, never broken a frame but have damaged my reba. Off the rigid fork but 2' would have been the biggest maybe. Pretty much only hit things on the KM with clear landings, no trees to bounce into etc.

[jbogner]

Gumby always sticks the landings. It's the runouts he has trouble with... ;)

it's all about body positioning and rear brake control. if it is a sizeable drop to flat, i'd rather NOT have speed and take it in a controlled approach. of course, my experiences are colored directly by what's available @ lynn woods and 'nam, where speed for these drops isn't much.

That is great, way out of my league. I would not drop that on my hardtail 29er, might think about rolling in but you would have to see it which I hope I do, really want to visit your riding spots!!
That looks very flat and you clearly have the skillz to handle such stuff. Definately a two wheel touchdown on that would be a bad idea. The odd shots of mine that have surfaced do me way more credit than I deserve, must be the angles.. There are some awesome riders at our local spots to try and emulate and I just try to keep up!

[narlus]

thanks for the props. my drops-to-flat days pretty much crested w/ that one ;)

sad to say i've not been to lynn woods this year; not enough free time.

that porch drop @ diablo is very sweet though, and i wish i was closer to diablo.

Not that great... but better than I thought I would.

This was my 2nd ride on this trail in over 2 years and the first time I rode it on my ss and it was my first time racing my ss.

I managed 17th/20 racers with a time of 1_hr and 11 min. The top 3 guys with gears had times in the 55-56_min range.

The top ss racer is a friend of mine who did twice the distance I did in 1_hr 42_min... his first lap time was 53_minutes...

Here he is on his Walt Works 29er SS:

Is that a 2008 Kula?? How did you like it?

[mandown]

^^^ what he said! no taking test rides and not sharing info with the rest of the class :(

[Snacks]

Is that a 2008 Kula?? How did you like it?

Yes. I really really liked it! It took a little getting used to the front wheel size in the turns and getting it up over things, but it climbed really well. I noticed after a few miles I was hard chargen' over logs, and digging the nice swoppy corners.

How do you like the Monocog with the Reba up front on it? That helmet looks like you've got a vented mushroom on your noggin.

I like it, if I had money I'd get a 2nd Reba for the other 29er.

Rich - are you a CT resident?

If so, where do you ride and what size is your Niner?

Yep live in Redding. Niner is a XL - we ride TroutBrook, Trumbull,
and huntington since they are all close to home.
