View Full Version : Does anyone mounatain bike?
Beside me, I know Zod and Dumbmuni2004 both mountain bike. Are they any others?
Anyways, I have been riding freeride and DH for about a year now, and have been doing good ol' trail riding since i was 7 with my dad. I have only races twice, and places 3rd in 13 and under short track XC and 3rd in beginner DH. My bikes are a 2004 Ironhorse SGS pro (mostly stock, see attachment) and a 2001(?) trek 6700 hardtail with upgraded wheels, tires, a 120mm maintou black, XT derailier and riser bars. I build northsore stuff too. So any mountainbikers, eh?

I've been learning how to do some freeride stuff, I have a Trek Bruiser SingleSpeed, I occasionally go out to the dirt jumps as well but I still suck at it. My big improvement as of late is that I can actually bunny hop 2 stairs now (maybe 12" if I'm lucky)

Nice. I've been wanting to get a DJ/urban bike. I relly want some more Djs, cause right now all I have is one double... :(

I used to do a little trail stuff and then switched to uni and quit. But I was riding my Brother's bike today and J hopped/bunny hopped (it's called a J-hop around here but I think its different other places, I just rode straight at it coasted, lifted the front wheel and hopped up it, whats the real name?) 10" or two pallets I was pretty pleased.

The P2 and the P3 (from Specaialized I assume) are really great b*kes! The P3 is a little too expencive for many people, but most people who really want, could save up for a P2 It is an awesome b*ke!

My poor mountain bikes have hardly been ridden since I got my uni almost 6 months ago. I have a Bianchi BuSS (single speed), a fixed gear commuter, an old geared beater with slicks, and a GT XCR 2000 ("XC" full suspension with gears).

I've an olde Giant Sedona with a few thousand miles on it, but since I got my 2nd uni all I've used it for is to take up space in my apartment... I'm considering pumping up the tires and usig it until i can afford to fix my uni... But when I think of getting back on two wheels... my head hangs in shame... :(

I have never owned a proper mountain bike. At this point, if I had one I know I wouldn't put enough miles on it to make it worth the storage.
The last time I specifically used a bike to ride trails, was on a scouting ride for the 2003 MUni Weekend at Rockville Hills Park. I thought the bike would enable me to cover more ground in a given amount of time. But mostly it just ended up sucking (it wasn't a very good bike).
Oh, and I rented a mountain bike to ride down Northstar after wearing out my knee on a scouting ride two weeks before the 2004 MUni Weekend. That sucked too. But in this case it was because I tried to follow Zack, Jess and Jack Hughes down one of the super-gnarly trails that's real hard on a unicycle, let alone a mid-line dualie that I've never ridden before...
