Laggdawg · 06-16-2008, 08:24 PM

is that a rigid fork?

BrewMaster · 06-16-2008, 08:36 PM

Reed is a beast. With enough time I think he can break any bike.

reminds me of a friend of mine...we call him the annihilator.

p.s. the components were fine, dont hate on us, the frame deserved it though.

No, surprisingly I didn't take a dirt nap. The good thing about steel is that it usually doesn't fail catastrophically. In fact, I'm sure I did a good half dozen jumps after I cracked it, but I just didn't know it yet.

It's funny because just yesterday I took the Reba off the broken Gary Fisher HiFi. I thought I was going to send it back to RS for servicing, but I guess I'm going to stick it on the Vulture tomorrow. It's been a bad month for my bikes.

Well it was considerably more rigid earlier today. Now it's only semi rigid.

And, I was just doing the little stuff. Ricky and Fong were the ones hitting the big jumps.

Nice pics, guys. I checked the place out last week, really cool spot with lots of potential. Can't quite figure out the line you're hitting in these photos, though. New work?

Lately this seems to definitely be true. I was thinking that I probably shouldn't have been doing a lot of the stuff I was doing on a rigid fork. Oh well. I guess I'll just chalk it up to experience and have another beer.

That's exactly what I'm thinking. Any recommendations? I'm interested in something that is definitely a trail bike, but can handle being abused and doing jumps to say 5' or so.

Here's a shot of Ricky hitting the Big Kahuna. Sorry about the lighting. New camera and new user.

Yea, I know....

I think I want something a little more trail oriented. I saw that you did pretty well with the eBay sale. Nice.

Justin, those are some good ideas, but I will probably spend less money than most of those bikes.

Nice pictures. Anyone ever hear of some huge vert jumps near Rancho Santa Margarita and Ladera Ranch area?

I happened to come across them on a ride recently and these jumps are pretty awesome (completely vert lips, some about 8 feet tall, some 15 feet gaps). I'm not sure you could hit them on a anything but a BMX but what do I know. From what another local told me he doesn't think anyone uses them anymore. It looks like they were built for a video shoot and that was all. I'd be glad to give the hucksters directions if I can watch.

Lovin · 06-17-2008, 08:26 PM

Nice!

I used to ride the bowl on my buddy's Free Agent when I was a kid. I grew up riding the lakebed. Good times!

Rockinthecasbah · 06-17-2008, 08:34 PM

Ive been there a few coworkers told me about it , you can do them on a 26" dj specific bike
