Re: Weekly mountain bike rides

The Intense SS and 2009 Trail SX II I am looking at are identical price.
The SS is finished better however.

Re: Weekly mountain bike rides

im a big giant person.. I picked up this beauty last year

best bike EVER

I'm actually going to look at one of these tonite.
Care to give a pros/con response to owning it? What kind of riding do you do?

I'm looking for something that is going to be a good park bike. Can handle some moderate DH work, but more importantly can be thrown around and jumped well. I dont really want to be riding a couch bike (Full DH) they are fun for going fast, but COP just isn't enough to need one of them, and I'm only got to be at whistler a handful of times a year.

Re: Weekly mountain bike rides

Re: Weekly mountain bike rides

whoops sorry i didnt reply, but yea its the perfect bike for freeride moose mountain/whistler/sunpeaks/mt. 7 the usuall spots. I find the bike way to bike for COP i think the best bike for there is a bmx... The intense ss is such a sexy bike, we will have to meet up soon and go for a ride, im thinking moose mountain? maybe we can organize one evening during each week to meet at station flats, then shuttle up untill the sun goes down. Anyone have a suggestion for a night that works best?

Yeah, Me too. I hope the rain holds off, as I've never ridden lift accessed trails, and I'm excited to try something new. Who ya going there with?

So I should get in the lift line early Sat Morning?

Re: Weekly mountain bike rides

Sweet ride!

Is that a Monkeylite DH or XC?
I got the XC but am looking at buying a DH on PB.

Re: Weekly mountain bike rides

Re: Weekly mountain bike rides

DH.

its someone else's dream bike that they built then rode twice and due to work had to move. i was the lucky benificiary cause it would easily total $5k+ to build it up like this myself

Re: Weekly mountain bike rides

It might actually turn out to be a good day at COP on Saturday. A sunny day tomorrow should dry out this spot of rain, and if we get the same on Saturday, it should be good huh?

I rode Sideshow bob last night. It was super dry, best conditions yet....or was.



Is a Full face helmet and body armour required to ride COP? Is it mandatory in order to ride the hill?

I only got a regular helmet at the moment, so if I can ride with that for the time being, that would be ok cause I'm broke ass
