Anybody into Mountain Biking?

[Conspicuously Absent]

haha. Lazy more like. Trust me, 3 rides and you'll be used to the weight.

I'm 100% supportive of freeride bikes. They go up, down, in the air, over stairs, down rails, take you through town, etc. etc.

I converted my XC into a single speed, one break, cruiser, because I didn't even touch it once after I got my freeride bike.

So in Canada is drop-in TV actually on TV? Is it on cable maybe even? Thats pretty awsome.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

yeah, but we don't get that channel where I live. So instead I buy the DVDs from pinkbike. I met the dudes on drop-in though. When they came to town, I wandered into the bike shop while they were there haha. that was fun.

 

[dorian gray]

those guys do some crazy shit. i always wonder if they have health insurance and if they do, how much does it cost. seriously.

Haha, they are the most canadian motherfuckers I have ever heard.

Problem with a lot of urban Trials and urban-assault shit, is that BMX just completely tears it appart.

(they have a good amount of sections on that, on Drop-In, which is why I bring it up)

i know, but what if theyre on foreign soil? couldnt their hospital bills ruin them? just wondering.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

travellers insurance is a few hundred.

 

[dorian gray]

surely not for these guys. i doubt they can even get insurance. anyway, i was just wondering. its funny the things you have to think about when you got a family, a mortgage, responsibility, etc. it's a trade-off. on one hand you got a cool house, a hot wife, a baby, but you gotta find a away to pay for all that shit if you get fucked up.
i always wish shows like "cribs" would talk more about that kind of stuff than they do about fucking "whips". real stuff like, "heres how i invest my money so i dont turn out like mc hammer"

 

[Krilons Resa]

whoah...i come back to all this!

I'm now lost. I just want something to yeah, probably ride around the streets with but also, mostly, I wanna take it out into the trails in the woods and shit. Nothing TOOO serious. Fuckin' A. If I really dig it, of course I will get more serious...but shit. Ya gotta start somewhere, not just dive into the whole shebang. Gimme some sound advice godmanit.

Btw, I am 5'9" - approx 220lbs.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

yeah. in your case. weight is irrelevent. My main peice of advice, find a local mountain bike shop, just go in there and tlak to the dudes. most of them WON'T try and sell you shit you don't need.

i heard carbon fiber is pretty sweet
