lol.. thats a joke right??? all steel components with a nice one piece crank..single wall rims.... a 6.9lb frame? geez.. that thing must be around 40lbs..
maybe you've been living under a rock or something idk. i won the bike before christmas and since i don't ride bikes i've been trying to sell it for months. i know it's not better than your bike and i really don't care, i just wanna get rid of it.
I disagree with the urban aspect. Honestly I think that urban riding is very sick, especially when it's trials riding. But I do also like the flow of street riding as well and think that it's a pretty viable part of mountain biking, even though it really doesn't include mountains.
most things on a mtb bike are easier making it not as cool... mtb is like snowlerblading just not quite as bad (as far as park ditjumping & street go) DH is the shit though
i like the urban redbull freeride contests.. mtb'rs doing barspins, wallrides, tailwhips..
its just like skiing progressing.. so are other sports.. its like freestyle moto turned a lot of people on to freeride.. for example... snowmobiles, quads.. etc..
In the UCI world cup in Mont Saint-Anne their was a huge Dirtjump show with mtbikes. It was sick! Cam Zink throwing down 360's both sides, McCaul even did a 360 tailwhip (it was insane!) and another rider did a frontflip... best riders in the world it's sick!
Actually he was talking about where and how you could do the tricks. Like a massive 360 off a drop (CKD trailor) or just the creativity in the courses that they can have making the tricks seem every more spetacular.
^ I'm going to have to guess Timo Pretzle for the double back, and the 720 was Paul Basigotia. The first 720 was also thrown in a comp. as well by an unknown rider.
ya, your wrong but cam mcaul did the double backflip at red bull i think? well some competition. and it was paul basagotia that did the 720 on his bike in unchained(i own it)
