yeah, the bike is the most epensive part. see if any of your friends will lend you their bike if they have a downhill bike. but you should be fine on your p.3, as long as you take it slow and don't try to go full out.

yeah it would be awesome if they rented V10's. i don't think i would be looking for a new bike if they did. but they only rent overused Norco's freeride and downhill lineup (shores, six's, etc.)

Its attached to a clothing store as well. It has a cash register area on the left about 1/3 of the way in, and the repair area is at the back right.

hope that helped some.

In the summer a kid fell on the highway drop and broke his back or somethin so they sued blue. Starting this year blue has to make you take a riding test before doing the trails. basicly all the regulaer stuff ( balance, cornering, braking, and riding safe ) hope that helps

Ya, I think your talking about skis and bikes. Ive been there once, and I wasnt impressed. If I need something for my bike while im there, I will just go to Kamakaze or Little Ed's. Both amazing shops with employees that are known for being respectful and honest.
