Durham Fiesta Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 Just been out for my first decent ride of the year as the weather has been pretty good, what bikes do you all have and what do you ride ( XC , DH , dirt jumping etc)
NginEEr Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 I do dirt jumping/downhill. I have a DMR sidekick
Durham Fiesta Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Posted January 27, 2008 nice bike, i was after one of those when made the transition from bmx to mtb's but have always had the cross country bug so didn't get one
ZetecVan 2.0 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 I've got an Orange Gringo hardtail which is about 9 years old. My brother in law has a full suspension GT frame which I keep meaning to buy from him to build up. I've not been out so much recently since I f**ked my knee a couple of years ago. I did Dalby Forest last year which was the last big ride. There's a weekly ride with the guys on Bike Magic which I used to go on. About 4 years go I cycled from Morecambe to Scarborough for charity with two mates. That's 140 miles. We did it over two days, staying the night in Richmond, North Yorks.
pauln Posted January 27, 2008 Report Posted January 27, 2008 Got a specialised FSR that I don't ride enough due to a knackered achilles tendon. Did get a few (and I mean a few) miles on my road bike today which was ok (felt good to be out).

geoffersmasher Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 i have a few bikes the to nice ones are the proper houdini bmx and the lemond classic track bike (about 900 worth of steel not even aluminium) but i must say mtb has never interested me althouugh my mate did just get a record contract and spend 3 grand on a scott ransom carbon and i must admit it was damn fun

ZetecVan 2.0 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 I could rockwalk, do backhops (my record was 25) and other simple stuff on my old Raleigh Super Burner 20 odd years ago when I was 14. Can still do them, but struggle doing them on a mountain bike.
Pye Man Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 A couple of my mates to trials. Hoping from little posts and rocks and such like. Its madness
zetecmk2 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Posted January 28, 2008 zetecvan2.0 sounds like you would love a monty!!it was trials that put an end to my trials dabble. 5 foot drop off i used to do regularly (on the way to get leccy) one day my steerer snapped on landing!!! face plant into concrete and a lot of blood, teeth, gravel etc!!! i replaced forks and did it again the next day. (mustnt let these things beet you)! landed perfectly but never did it again. something in my head just switched!!!!
