Putting together a new mtb. Still waiting on a few parts, but hope to get it done this week.
Got some smooth-ish trails within riding distance from my house. Rigid with some good tubeless tires will be perfect for them. That and I'll do a couple CX races with it.
that bike is hot fire.
see you out there at a couple CX races. I'll be doing some riding on the E coast this fall too.

Finished my first actual "Pro" race today. It wasn't a USAC sanctioned event, so it doesn't count to anything. But I was racing against some of the Pro's I'll be racing against next year, so it gave me an idea of what to expect. I did an odd race in the pro class against some of these guys a couple of weeks ago, but it wasn't a true XC event, and I was on my heavy trail bike, not my XC bike.
And I didn't finish last! 6th out of 7, but not last! I was about 12 minutes behind first, which really isn't that bad. And I was shy of 2 minutes behind 5th place, who I never saw after the race start (I don't like to start off hard). So I'm pretty happy with that, and now I have a good idea of what I am in for next season.

Nice on the race!
I just bought another bike, 08' Demo 7.
Anybody want to come out for a few laps at Pacifica?

sounds like you can train it up in the off season, then jump back on the race bike and give em the shocker.
I would definitely do lots of stupid(fun) things on that. My hardtail as usual has been getting a neglected during the summer months. I've been riding a ton of park stuff on the DJ in-between trails. I even got in a few flips(flops) on the air bag last weekend.

Pike + 3" tires + 420mm stays. Yea, it'll be stupid fun!
Post some vids of the dirt jumps and hitting the air bag!

from the research ive done, they are really well made frames from open molds (retired factory molds) and the company (hong fu) actually stands by their frames and gives a 2 year warranty where if it breaks, they will send you a new one no questions asked.

My fear of heights says that sounds awesome (and terrifying)
I've heard good things about some of the knock off carbon components like the Light Bike wheels. Something I'll keep in mind in the future. Right now I have a great hook up on good bikes, so I'm trying not to buy bikes

A car in space...hmmmm.
Dig that Manual action let get some pics of the bike pls!
Currently riding a diety cryptkeeper. Just imagine a shopping cart with handlebars. It's on the the relaxed end for riding park stuff being a dirt jump specific frame but it does ok. The street version (streetsweeper) is much less forgiving.

I don't know if my fear of heights would allow me to try the bag. But damn I would want to!
