Love that banshee up there,reminds me of the Ellsworth Truth from around 9 years ago.

That R9 is very nice too Chili.

There is a trail on private land near here and me and a friend passed a couple paintballers on the trail and I wondered about getting shot while on a bike...I think you guys might be safe with that safety orange color,haha.

I like the color on that Specialized Wheelie but I think I'd like it more if it were FS too. Nice air in that pic!

That Blackcomb is actually a pretty nice bike,I just picked one up for $80 and like it alot.I need to replace the BB already but it was also used and I have no clue how the previous owner rode it.Other than the tires,grips,and your white Mongoose sticker,they look the same down to the faded front hub,haha.Only real complaint I have is the front fork and it needing 2 more inches of travel but it feels 100% better than what I was riding previously.

Here is my 2010 OPUS FR bike now done...(((For now)))

[element22]

Nope I have all my bikes..

This is my new rig for FR / DH testing..

The Dorado is set at 203mm and the rear is set at 182mm

[element22]

So far that would be a 12 ft drop down to transistion.. Shortly I will be writing on that Diverse rear shock as well as the Dorado...That is once I get plenty of time on the front fork...But as for the rear, if your wondering..That is a Ti spring as well as this shock you can get specific dampening needles for controling rebound. A DH needle as well as a FR needle is avaliable. The FR needle is higher in dampening and ment for slower speeds.

That is very nice...cutting edge technology right here on Singletracks!

What brakes are you running and how wide are those bars?

[element22]

Well..

Presently that bike has a Dorado fork mated to the Answer DH stem (awesome) and the 780DH bar (also awesome) which as the name implies 780mm wide 30". And just finished testing the Formula theONE brakes (Power house).

Just keeping the thread alive..Adding my DH rig..

Going through a few changes again...Added a Elka Stage5 rear shock, changed to my 2011 Avid Codes, swapped over to a KORE I-Beam saddle and post..
Pic on that Soon coming..Once I can get out on the slopes again I will have some shots.



Cheers

Nice ride, though a make over of the Iron Horse Warrior fleet. Have fun one on it and shred some dirt or concrete. Its a good bike though I am not sure what Airborne has changed on it besides the color.

I think you should take the training wheels off the lil one and do some DH or UA with that jk sweet ride and I like how yours and your kids bike match get him started early

[longboarderj offline]

The training wheels were removed a while ago but I still have trouble balancing Seriously though my youngest boy wants jumps built now that he rides a two wheeler.

[Bonsai-CP offline]

That's awesome with your youngest boy wanting to step up into the FR realm. Just sweeeeet! Give him the road and the opportunity, and he will shine brother.

Here is a pic of my son (11 years of age) hucking off a 10' ledge w/big gap.....
