swan3609 (Jan 22, 2012 at 14:14)

My DH rig got ripped off.. But I ride everything on my AM bike that I do on my DH bike.. there are only a few gnarly race lines that I will hit on my DH bike but not on my AM bike..

D1rtJumper (Apr 27, 2011 at 20:35)

I want to see the whole video of you going into the backflip riding like a retard! Or did you just stop?

swan3609 (Apr 27, 2011 at 22:44)

I have the whole clip.. its just nothing special.. I just straight air the jump.. no flips in Spandex.. haha

D1rtJumper (Apr 27, 2011 at 22:46)

Haha, I was thinking you'd like nose case or something

+ 2

swan3609 (Apr 27, 2011 at 22:53)

Nah.. I was trying to avoid crashing in the spandex if possible.. I learned my lesson on the road bike that crashing in spandex sucks alot worse then in baggies.. And I did eat it on the flip once.. I will link to the video of the crash..

robc10 (Jan 23, 2012 at 7:33)

i wont hit anything large that hasnt got a nice rebound and adequite amount of travel

+ 1

swan3609 (Jan 23, 2012 at 8:51)

My Yeti has a 6inch fork and 7 inches in the rear.. it has tons more travel then a DH bike had 10 years ago.. ha

robc10 (Jan 23, 2012 at 10:27)

220mm front and 7-8 inch rear dependant

+ 1

swan3609 (Jan 23, 2012 at 18:28)

Dont get me wrong, I loved my DH bike and I would love to have another one.. But for 95% of my riding, I am just as fast or faster on my 7.. I dont race big DH races anymore and any freeride stuff I do is doable on my 7.. plus 70% of my riding falls under the area of xc/all mountain with just a bit of freeride stuff thrown in.. A dh rig would be nice but I wouldnt really do that much more with it then i do with my 7

- 1

robc10 (Jan 24, 2012 at 8:45)

I cant ride anything other than a dh rig, xc realy bores me as their isnt realy what i would class as my type of riding but thats just my view on it.. Ive grown from riding bmx, dirt jump over the past years and have stuck with dh, probably the most free kind of riding i have done, hitting large gaps and being able to throw the back end out whipping it close and tight to tree lines

I agree... Start is epic, and the moment, when you do the backflip in the forest, and: "I need a hero!"

Great synchro!
