SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE

If someone ever gives me crap for riding in "pajamas"...I think I'll just direct them to this video. Fashion aside...what those guys did on those bikes is mindblowing.

Share the chart with us when you work it all out...

I'm floored! but I have to admit—the real shocker would be Darren Berrecloth leaving Specialized. If the rumors are true though...I would love to see Brook McDonald riding for Specialized. Somehow I doubt Spesh would get their hands on Gwin.

Sam Pilgrim better get a line of sleeveless shirts or I won't recognize him ;)

nooooo I loved that event!

*face palm* Why does this even exist

I'm learning downhill on a Hardtail 29er with 100mm travel. I imagine if I had started out on a downhill bike I probably wouldn't have had so many falls, bent wheels, scrapes, bruises, hands to sore you had to massage them back into shape or making my already injured back hurt like the dickens. I spent all summer do afore mentioned things until just last month I rented a Specialized Status...it was so much fun! I was way less sore and waaaaay less tired by the end of the ride; I could have kept going all day. So am I saving up for a Specialized Status? Yes I am. Am I going to probably spend all next summer on my hardtail? Of course. Its harder, more tiring and it hurts more but that didn't stop me from falling in loving with DH. I'll keep falling and learning from mistakes, watching instructional videos and pro videos until I can afford a Status and I'll still keep falling and learning. What Levy said actually made me feel a little better about the fact that I'm learning on a XC bike...

I was half way through the video when I see the bars and thought, "now those are some naked looking bars...he isn't riding without brakes...he can't be." Annnnd he totally is. The only "brakes" I could think of are the old "pedal back to break" but I clearly saw him back pedal that 360—that dude is crazy.
