it's actually true..
in fact.. he didn't build the jumps at Kenter.. the dirt just piled and shaped itself into perfect doubles, in fear of Curt's roundhouse kick

Adam.. i talked to Eric from Deity today
Vendettas are back in stock, with a design improvement.
They redesigned the non-drive crank arm to have a sprocket boss on it, so you can run your drivetrain righty or lefty. Now, that doesn't mean much to regular folks, other than the fact that the sprocket boss makes for a much larger welding surface, therefore creating a much stronger and stiffer crank arm overall.

I grabbed another set to put on the R9. Eric is the coolest motherfuker on the phone, just ready to bullsh!t about bike crap all day long.

:picsstfu:

So Nags and Blend. Can we get some updated pics?
Bike is at Cynergy. The granny tabs on the single ring cranks stuck out a bit and caught on the bolts of the guide. Hopefully they can machine the cranks down to get it to fit. If not I'll have to buy another guide.

Since I'll be gone at Sea Otter this weekend expect pics sometime next week.

May 17th Snow Summit opens their lift to bikes. Unfortunately they won't allow DH bikes but just about everything else is. There are a couple fun DH runs that would be perfect for a hardtail or trail bike. Anyone interested?

I emailed them this morning, I asked the same question last season and never got an official response. Got this one about 20 minutes later!

Me:
I'm hoping to come visit Snow Summit to mountain bike a few times this
year and have a few questions about the bike requirements.
#2 - what do you mean by 'designated' tire size? My front tire is a
Kenda Nevegal 2.5, does that mean it meets the requirements? Its a
knobbier tire than most but is still a 2.5, just want to make sure
that's okay.
#4 - I actually only have 2 chainrings and a bashguard (24/36/bash) on
my bike. I don't usually ever get enough speed to warrant a third
(big) ring and would rather have the bashguard to protect my other 2
rings and my shins in case of an accident, is that okay?

Them:
You're on! I just spoke with Shanon who runs the Sky Chair in the summer and
he said you're all good. See you soon:)
My Saber is about 34# right now. The AM1 is 6" (not sure if it can be 6 or less or only 6, site is unclear) but I can drop it down with ETA when its time to load up. So it sounds like I'll actually have a BB legal bike, first time in a while :thumb:
