Silverstar 2008

 You're probably talking about my bike - it's a Giant NRS2. Not a hard tail - but it might as well have been out there. I have a whopping 4" each of front and rear travel. Lets just say it was a bone jarring experience in parts.

I did however see a couple hard tails out there that weekend. Those guys were straight up psycho.

 Man, I'm so glad you finished out last season at SS. This is a really great document of what was, I'm sure, the "road trip of 2008".
Glad you're signed up on Pinkbike.
BTW J. , this version plays at a better reso. than the one I have a link to on Youtube.

 On the youtube page, if you look just below the video you'll see a link to 'watch high quality version'. Either way it looks good, but it's always nice to not get pixelation. What I was talking about with the PB vid in particular was that it stretched the vid to fit their window. While it makes me look skinnier (woot) everything looks a little squashed.

Not only was it THE 'road trip of 2008'.. it was my ONLY one haha. But it was an excellent time and definitely made me want to come back. Again and again. But perhaps on a different ride.

 is that one guy on a hard tail?
