You guys have such a cool forum. There is even a photoshop forum and there are parts forums and everything.

I live near Santa Barbara which isn't far from LA, CA. I want a 90's silverado. I have a singletrack mind, I am always thinking about mountainbiking. When I get a truck, I am going to be taking trips to the desert to go mountain biking, dirtbiking, and of course wheeling with my friends.

Are there any mountain bikers here? I don't have a truck yet, but I have a bike.

krue · 11-03-2005, 11:40 PM

Welcome to the board from South Mississippi. I used to do a little biking when I was stationed on Oahu, lots of fun, lots of work (which is probably why I gave it up.

).

krue · 11-03-2005, 11:43 PM

Everyone here in Mississippi thinks I was insane for buying a Rocky Mountain Thin Air (back in 95 I think) with xt components, aluminum frame, rock shox front shock, race face cranks (that's all I can remember) for $1700.

It was a lot of fun coming off the mountain on that bike.

Here are some pictures of me riding:
Racing Dual Slalom in Parkfield,CA- I got second in begginer (my firts DS race) (im behind, this was my last run, which i why i got second

The double jump in the alley

Here is me doing a no-footer in Whistler,BC early summer

Here is another from Whistler

Here is one from the same trip, but on San Juan Is.,WA

Mountain Bikes are expensive, but the fun is completely worth it. I like to jump off everything in sight.

Welcome to the forum dirt lover. I don't do mountain bikes, I'm more of a beach cruiser kinda guy. Regardless I like anything that looks like fun so your bike fits in....
