I don't know, never had the desire to search for one.
But I'm scared of biking these days, I've not rode one for years, never mind downhill

The last time I rode a bike on track was a weekend away with 2 mates. I remember watching my mate on off road tires try and take a S bend corner way too fast going between courses on road, hit a maybe 2ft high dry stone wall and do a Superman probably 20ft over a small farmers fence into the field.

It's one of the funniest things I've ever seen, but soon after I found out the joys of alcohol and smoking and never rode a bike since. That was 10+yrs ago.

Its nice to see some other people into bikes on here. NIce bike. I actually have the same. Fully kitted up for downhill though and had it a few yrs but love it to bits cost me a small fortune though!! Here's a picture not the most recent and just after a few runs down Fort William.

cheers bud, that yellow looks awesome! is that a Demo in the background? - nice!

last bike cost me a lot, thought i'd try and get one ready built and just replace parts as and when, working well so far!


i need to get around with the bike a lot more this year!

rode many places all over but dalby and llandegla are awsome.

i noticed that, most odd!

i haven't really been out of the local 70 miles or so with my bike really, want to try my best to get a bit further afield this year if i can!

Yeah an original demo 8 never liked it geometry was all wrong. he's now on a session88! Yeah sometimes it works out cheaper to buy a full bike and swap bits over as and when they break but i opted to buy top of the line gear and hope it lasts which it has thankfully. There's some serious cheap deals on old Iron horses these days but i guess its due to them going tits up! I ride the hard tail more these days but planning a trip to Switzerland in June so will abuse the bike then! My local is Glentress and Inners so if anyone comes up this way riding drop me a pm!

Pah, jump bikes are for spotty teenagers with more ability than brains!! Full sus bikes for some serious MTBing are the way to go...........

i think you'll find that full suspension freeride bikes are the way forward.

serious mountain biking and jumps? - yes please.

ps. i have no spots, no brains and still think i'm a teenager!!

[smartie]

Whats a full suss freeride MTB? Just the same as a full suss XC MTB but heavier?

a tough full suspension bike built for a combination of downhill and dirtjumping.

but yeah you're pretty much right! - although i prefer 'stronger' to 'heavier' !!

Very true! But with the strength unfortunately comes more weight, but as you mainly point the thing downhill its not a bad thing. It also gives you a lot more stability so you can steam through rock gardens and flat land big drops/ jumps.
