Yeah, I was loving the climbing ability of the RacerX. It felt like I had a rocket strapped to my ass. :D The RacerX was not as smooth or fun as my Quasi Moto on technical stuff and downhills, but damn would that RacerX make a good race bike.

And the RacerX could handle all the bridges in the stunt park too. :D

yup, I definitely felt fast on that bike!

I didnt like the Fox fork or the Grip shifts, but those are easy to change

Only if I had an extra $4K laying around.......

The one I used had Sram triggers that were not quite dialed in, so the shifting wasn't all that smooth. It did have a carbon fiber rear triangle, making it super, extra, uber fast. :D

I felt really fast on the Racer X , of all the Bikes I Demoed over teh weekend the only one I really really liked better than my FSR XC was the Racer X , although the rocky Mt ETX was up there pretty close! and the wife really likes the Titus also !

Oh man, Pedros fest was SOOO WET!!! Jeebus! It was nice to meet Splat, IRB and MBC!

Demo'd a Motolite and a Rocky Mtn Element 70. I can honestly saw I, are you ready for this, HATED the ML! I really wanted to love it, but I was frustrated by it at every turn.:nopity:

I loved the Rocky Mtn though! It had a Fox F100X on the front (its one of the model with the inertia valve) and that thing was tits!:love:

Anyone swing by the Gary Fisher/Trek trailer? That was my crew. I was supposed to work there (my friend Bob is the GF/Trek demo guy) in trade for free admission, but couldn't get away for the weekend. My buddy Brian was there running the Vetta tent as well.

I wish I had Known , I demoed a Trek Fuel , and had to borrow dalton Dougs Helmet , because I didnt want to go back to our camp site to get my Helmet ( they would not let me take it with out a helmet. )

also they did a real good job of checking the bike over beofre giving it to me. My front Quick release skewer was loose.

Did Tame ape ride. Next year I will be there.

sup! I didn't get to ride with the others but I did get out twice on Saturday. We had a vendor booth to take care of and that took up most of my time.:nopity: I managed to sell 3-4 shirts though...

She is holding out for the 07 Rush. It also fits in with the color scheme of most of our bikes, blue.

She also told me she wants an 8X10 of that pic, so I have to print one. Thank goodness the camera is 8 megapixels.
