Burning Question: How Much Do Water Bottles Influence Frame Design?
Bike industry here me out- why not redesign the $10-20 water bottle to fit the $2000+ frame?

@toad321: I've never smashed one either but with the trend of larger cassettes I could see this becoming more common.

Throwback Thursday: Freewheelin', Arguably the First Mountain Bike Film Ever
I want to see the set up for the first-person shots. Imagine riding a bike with a brick of a camera strapped to your front fork.

Video: Get Your Friends Into Mountain Biking Without Hurting Them
From experience, take them to the park first. We did a group ride with my friends girlfriend who freaked out and almost threw up because of the sloped mountain side we were on along with developing bike skills. Some of this was due to a fear of heights and not biking (WI transplanted to CO). I convinced her to go to a local bike park with us next time and she was able to session some stuff while I watched and gave pointers. Went over a lot better and enjoyed it.

Video: Pro Tips for Buying a Used Bike
When I bought a 2011 Yeti 303 I didn't check the wobble in the front fork and had to replace some bushings. Not a huge deal but worth checking when looking at a used bike.

Jun 8, 2019Large Yeti 303 RDH
$1200 USDLegendary 2011 Yeti 303 RDH for sale. I am the 3rd owner and bought it back in 2016. Had Golden Bikes do a complete teardown and rebuild and Dirt Labs did a suspension rebuild in 2016. Built like a brick sh*thouse and the only issues I had was the rear derailleur (due to my riding) which was replaced by Golden Bikes this month. That and constant compliments and attention from fellow riders at the parks. Rode for 3 seasons at CO DH parks. I'm 6'-0"/185 lbs and the bike fits me perfect. Contact me with any questions.
$1200/OBO. Buyer pays shipping.
