I've just been awarded the ability to select my prize for 10 years of service with my company. There are even mountain bikes available! Please help me choose which one would be best for my riding style:

The lower one has more standover. I guess that is the free-ride option that can take more awesome knar and survive the jumps begging for more. Or I can choose the traditional hardtail. I'm sure the componentry is off the charts on the awesome side of the scale.

I sure wish the Mantis Ghost 26" Mountain bike was one of the options. I really am missing not having a full-suspension bike at the moment.

Someone needs to contact him and find out what really happened to that bike. He pretty much stole it.

Favorite Trails: the ones that go down, duh!
take whichever one and donate it to someone who has never ridden a bike in their life....that way you are promoting the sport and giving back to the community.




not to mention its funny as hell watching someone who dont know how to ride eat shit!

Thanks everyone. I decided to pick something else. I just could not put any money (company or my own) into a Huffy.

I remember when Ben modified the Bike Empire shop tool wall, so that the location holding the hammers on the wall was renamed "Huffy Tools". :D
