Dude, how many bright orange headset spacers have you got on that bike??? It's stickin' up like, 2 inches!

And the gloves are a nice match.

Great local trail. Just dissapointed to see all the local jumps been destroyed.

Ok, guys, enough reminiscing about the good ol' days - time to get back to the topic of this thread, which is... Dude, how many bright orange headset spacers have you got on that bike??? It's stickin' up like, 2 inches! I guess you really didn't want to cut that steerer tube!

all my other bikes are without spacers right now, yeah 2.5 inches. It is more dangerous than crashing on a cactus....but that damn 140mm velvet fork is right on the money.

I would like to thank my sponsor Bolo for the support and providing the right tools for the job. :cheers:

Oh how I miss riding those trails during my lunch break.

I miss our hammerfest night rides and our figure 8 route. I recall when the whole point was to break every spirit and will of the group in each ride. That's probably why half of our FBC crew went into hiding, turned roadie or just plain gave up this silly mountain biking. Great times. I don't miss the drivers in South Bay though.. hahahahaha.

Nice vid and riding, Tito Jay.

Cuong is finally out of hiding, too bad our rides start so late, they have quickly become nights of the past.

I used to live a block from that trail. It was 14years ago that I looked down at the single track there and thought to myself "wouldn't it be great to be able to ride there on a bike" I purchased my first mountain bike and down I went Literally cuz I went OTB my first time out. Anyways been consistently ridding ever since. Amazing how many trails are over there, you could ride all day and not cover them all (at least not at my pace)

I agree, there are plenty of trails in that area or inside 10mi radius...you can cover multiple trails if you are willing to climb.

so I did the South side this morning and it definitely has more flow than the N side. But it is shorter and I think N to S provides more quad-burning, heart pounding workout:

lazy edit, steer tube length fixed:

:cheers:

This is how Ive always done this loop. Going west on the Southside definitely has FLOW.
