World Cycling Center Approved For Ireland
Dudes, please. Diablo Freeride park (NJ) has a world cup course and only 1,200 ft (400 meters)!!! You could just session Diablo's Dominion trail all day if you want you'll only drop 200 ft at most. Highlind Bike park (New Hampshire) has a network of dream trails and only 900 ft (300 mtrs)!!! For those that have been to Highland, you know you can go scary fast! Those that haven't, their trails are so well executed and berms are so smartly built that you get a great balance of fun per every run!
My point? Elevation comes second to well thought-out trails.
Besides, what else could I ask for...great beer and trails in one place?!Ireland...HERE I COME!!!

If you are willing to pay shipping, then, yes. You could give me a shipping address and I'll try to get a quote from UPS or the postal service, but be prepared, cause shipping will be expensive!
Let me know.

Race Face Atlas Freeride Bars!
Chromag! I love those bars (own 2). They're about the same price as the Atlas, but I rather support the smaller guys and their outstanding customer service. Oh yeah, they're also light. I cut mine down to 28in and 280gms!

Sea Otter - Answer Racing and Manitou Suspension
While working at a bike shop, I've serviced pretty much every fork out there. In addition, I've owned xverts, black, mars, rseven, nixon, and sherman. Except for dorados, manitous have poor tolerances (seals come off or don't seal properly, threaded parts wiggle, etc), small parts construction (lots of plastic) leaves a lot to be desired. As far as damping goes, tpc+ was very good although midrange rebound and compression adjustments would have very little effect. The worst manitou I've ever had was the nixon. They tried to pack so many features in that fork that it didn't do any of them well. The IT didn't work, it would blow through it's travel and didn't extend back regardless of air pressure or rebound adjustment.
There's not enough space to write all reasons of why you couldn't pay me enough to use a manitou. However, I do hope that Hayes pases their engineering expertise to manitou. By the looks of the machined internals in these pictures, manitou may be on their way to recovery.
