I've been lurking for a while and I figured it was about time to introduce myself. yea yea i know same old story. I live to ride bikes, currently I'm gearing up for the Trans-Syberia Rallye in a Porsche Cayenne. My good friend and I have been building DH Gearboxx bikes which can be seen on ridemonkey. He's the face of the project I'm just the builder guy. You probably wont see me post here very often but I typically check daily and I'd like to join on a few fun rides.

Looking at the DH bike in the picture I was wondering what the head angle is.
It looks steep. Its probably just the picture though.
That bike looks nice . You should hit us up for a Dh run some time.
The seat post says I don't mess around. Interesting.

Welcome! Were you the one riding the bike at Sea Otter, or was that your partner?

Cool I like it . You should roll it at Aliso on sat for fun.
There is no real challenging DH but the stuff there can be a lot of fun.
There are some secret trails that are a little more advanced. We wouldn't dare go near them or even look iin that direction.

I'll be there, no g-boxx bike though, still waiting on the shock to be returned by FOX.
