I saw a couple of very young girls, maybe 4 and 5, absolutely ripping around the neighborhood last night. Showed more skill than 95% of adults.

When I returned from my last Italian adventure, I showed my then 18 month old daughter some pov videos of me riding. No big jumps, but lots of drops, which she seemed to enjoy.
I left the room for a minute and when I returned she had already dragged her balance bike onto the sofa and was just getting ready to drop in.

Had my first ride on my Smash with the 160mm 38 Grip2 this morning. The chunkiest trail in the nearby vicinity provided challenging terrain for evaluation; I came away impressed with the initial feel at Fox’s recommended settings for my weight.
I did not weigh it but it did feel noticeably more chunky than the Helm Air that was previously mounted to the Smash. The bathroom scale that I have on hand has this build coming in at 34.8 lb, though my excel workbook (which is fairly extensive) has it at 32.5lb without tools/accessories.
It’s not a light build but it’s also far from being objectionable as I come in at ~210-215 lb. Longer planned days in the saddle with a lot of climbing may temp me to to swap in my 140mm MRP Ribbon and lighter wheelset/tires.
So far this thing feels very solid and impressively smooth out of the box. I’m excited to put some more time on it. The only thing I’m not quit getting along with is the orange decals/stickers; the question is should I got black/stealth or polished/silver?

One day who knows
The fastest color is plaid
No the fastest color is madras.
But no one can handle it so it's never been done.

All photons go the same speed.
Well it depends on the medium but for the short bus, same speed.

TPR? Trail Pistol Race?
Yup.
Those are pretty solid, obviously it will depend on the life it has lived so far, but they held up well, and I think we still have some spares.
I put 2k hard miles on mine which I bought used out of CO and it lives on under another rider in GA. @jackalope has something ridiculous like 4-5k of not nice riding on his. If anything the stays are the most vulnerable but I think they are quite stout. Among 5 year old used bikes, I'd think it is as good a bet as any you could make.
I'm still riding a first gen megatrail if that tells you anything
I did break it once though
Plus moving the cable routing hole fixed the issue. The one I broke was a really early (2012?) model, I'm just being an ass.
They're burly bikes!
I put on space balls thinking it would put the 4 and 7 year old to sleep. Now the 7 year old is running around the house real fast like saying she is “gooooing plaaaaid”.
Shinny silver plaid decals please!
Make America plaid again

I wonder if they’ll make a lighter version called Pearl Gram?

Besides... you ain't got kids. Those two Rid Eggs would be the equivalent of 4 hours of kid-expenses. Don't ask me how I know.
NOW GO STIMULATE THAT ECONOMY!!
Ha ha ha
Mad props to @SuboptimusPrime for the unridebru alloy frame and strong sized wheels. Cannot fuggin wait to beat up some east coast rox with this stoke panzer.
so what'd he replace it with? and when and where will the smashing occur?Mad props to @SuboptimusPrime for the unridebru alloy frame and strong sized wheels. Cannot fuggin wait to beat up some east coast rox with this stoke panzer.
A 2010 TR450, which I quite frankly liked a lot aside from the heft. The GG obviously also has a much more modern reach measurement and let's face it, you can never go wrong with raw aluminum, especially with such sexy welds.
Smashing (at Sugar) can occur on almost any given Friday. Although I'd rather not witness your untimely demise when your UV weakened crab0n bar (or frame?) gives up the ghost
excellent. sugar's the only one i haven't ridden (although it's been a few years for beech as well). holler at me if you're heading up. also, WILSONS.A 2010 TR450, which I quite frankly liked a lot aside from the heft.
