Ah right. Though I guess you could get to Blue Mountain pretty easily?
Haha, Yeah, I know what you mean. Have you looked at Specialized at all? They're really good, me and my friends started out on the Hardrocks, very solid bikes.

Yeah, I know, man! Wow, that sucks. It's not like you could ride a taco wheel either
I remember I did a jump over my friend when I was first starting out, landed too heavy on the forks and it bounced me other the front of the bike, straight into a tree. Didn't even get it on film... lol

I live in toronto not too many trails but there are a couple of good courses that have been made up by other riders good tech course but not anything like blue mountain or the ones in BC. Last year I was looking a Gary Fisher XCR but just too many items on want vs needs list lol I have also been looking at a few Trek models better for riders like me (entry level) getting hurt isn't too bad if ya got a story to go with it, it just sucks when damage is done and you got to get back to civilzeation through a course with a broken bike, like the time I bent my rear rim and had to walk 7k/m back to the car (never doing that again)

It is slightly annoying that rule isn't it. Haha, getting hurt is always going to happen. It's part of the experience

Sweet, you've got plenty of trials around you, I'd imagine? Any ideas what you'd get?

It's excellent. Really good. I think I'm going to have a real hard time bottoming this thing out!

100 post finally! now that I can respond I used to ride not extreme but hit the back trails to see how bad I could hurt myself, looking into getting a new bike this year but nothing too crazy. Hows the faith treating you?

Hey man.

You ride, too?
I was in Canada last Summer, went to Blue Mountain, it was freakin' amazing. Best place ever!
