    Road Bike party (insane content)

    Backflips on bikes that were designed to be backflipped are "cool". Backflips on bikes that were designed to stay glued to the ground are at least mildly mind-blowing. And it wasn't even some huge run in to a big kicker. He did it out of a little skatepark bowl like it was nothing.

    Wanted: Specialized Grom Hit

    Man, Ridemonkey really is a community. This thread rules.

    Road Bike party (insane content)

    This has been making the rounds on Facebook and stuff. The thought of getting a road bike off the ground at all its inconceivable to me.

    Scott Gambler 2013!

    Really interesting looking linkage. Just finished clicking through the slideshow on vitalmtb. Apparently the suspension curve is almost identical to the old gambler but this design centralizes the weight and makes the bike better for square edged hits (due to the higher pivot).

    Morpheus DH bike - 32.3 lbs, carbon/kevlar, adjustable CS

    Apologies if someone beat me to this. Morpheus posted a photo of their new DH bike on Facebook a little while ago along with some interesting info. I'm going to quote the info directly so I don't screw it up: " Yes it can be ran single speed. Also it feature our patented teloscopic...

    Marzocchi Oil

    Just dilute with water or gravy and you're good to go. I'm only saying this because you already got legitimate advice.

    2011 Plattekill Work and Ride Weekend

    Also very bummed that I can't make this. On the bright side for everyone else, since I won't be there I'm sure the weather will be perfect. Enjoy!

    Diablo rumor

    It'll be interesting to see if this means that Mtn Creek becomes a USAC destination now. Former management was basically the only reason it wasn't, right?

    My almost done Demo 8

    I don't think anyone on ridemonkey rides a Demo. Maybe try some other forums? Just kidding, obviously. Just use the search function, there are about a million threads discussing the best way to spec a Demo.

    My new Trek Session is here!

    Awwwww, is somebody jealous? Or does somebody just like to make snarky negative comments? Either way, somebody looks a bit douchey right now! Sick bike. Looking forward to reading the ride reports on these.

    DH + College

    Most colleges' academic year is September to May. most lift served DH parks operate May to October (on the east coast, at least). Making your college choice based on 2 months of the DH season seems a bit iffy to me. Then again, what do I know, I'm just some schmuck. Also, I think some of...

    My 2012 888 Evo V2

    Has marz switched to the boxxer/40 bolt arrangement on their crown, or are you running an aftermarket crown? This might be old news, but I'm usually late to the party. Fork looks great, glad you like it so far.

    Stolen Bike Alert

    If the guy bought it for 150 he was probably trying to have a kickstand installed. That is amazing that youre getting it back, though. Congrats. I wonder how much crack its selling and re-selling was able to buy.

    Best budget DH frame

    What other people will think is always in the top 2 when it comes to the set of criteria i use when buying a bike. Let's not forget that the high BB and steep HA were just fine for people a few years ago, and will be more than fine for a beginner, which i am assuming, (perhaps incorrectly)...

    Evil Undead

    Shockingly, I don't think anyone was saying that. For once. I only read this page, though.

    single speed for a DH rig

    I'm assuming the tensioner he's using is the "yess etr-d".

    small brands

    At this point it feels like I've heard CS horror stories from both sides of the small company/large company divide, so it kind of seems like anything can happen. I do like the mystique of the smaller companies. Not for any practical reason, really. Sometimes with the smaller companies you can...

    Freeride's Dead: Hopkins and Peacock Bury It

    Fixed. Also, the video won't load for me...

    Stolen Bike at the WC

    That's a bummer. I saw this bike and rider getting on the lift for her race run. Beautiful machine. Bike thieves suck.

    2012 Specialized

    I'm a bit shocked that this one has been allowed to last for as long as it has. Makes me think the other thread was deleted for a different reason.
