Default Howdy!
Hi, I'm 28, born and raised in the South Bay and have been riding off and on for at least 15 years now. This year I finally tried to semi-seriously compete at a couple of the Southridge DH events and I can't wait until the next winter series. I've tried everything from road bikes to downhill bikes and have had fun with all of them. So far I've been able to stick with a Giant Reign as my trusty "do everything" bike, the road bike collects dust, and I'm still looking for a DH bike that fits.

I recently picked up a new Reign 0, it's truly a great bike. What's your set up?

I built up the reign with X-7 all around, Juicy 7, Marzocchi 66, Mavic Deetrax, and a few other odds and ends I had laying around. Not exactly a light bike but it's been pretty bullet proof so far.

I raced class Z in fontana, and I'll probably do the same next year but I'll spring for the membership too.
