I'm too much of a wuss for real trail riding, but i do like biking the X-country ski trails in my town. paranoid of falling and hurting myself, so i dont hit the jumps much.

last summer, i bought a Norco Drop frame off a buddy, my dad bought me a new front fork, everything else came off my Brody Force.

and i dont have a pic of it apparently lol

Abhorred - Your bike 45+ pounds!?!?!

Mine was 48 lbs. I ride a Reign now but will get another big sled next year.

Yup, a 2002 Santa Cruz Bullit with very little regard paid to weight concerns. It's built around longevity, as attested to by the fact that it's still running after everything I've thrown at it. It's not doing too good right now, though, so I'm hoping I can afford an overhaul before the season starts. Normally, I do my own tech work, but there's too much to do and too little time in which to do it.

Yeah, they're kinda touchy when it comes to rough roads. Still, you should totally get one if you can, because MA is known for some awesome road rides, especially in the hillier parts of the state.

Snipped Image: HOLY BIG GAPPER!

That's seriously burly, dude! Where are you putting the tranny?

Big bikes are great when you have the means to move them around to where they shine... Otherwise, they can get kinda cumbersome. For the type of riding I'm doing these days, a Reign would be awesome. I was trying to save for one last year, but ended up getting guitar gear instead. I wish I didn't have two personal money pits (being bikes and music), but I can't really live without either.

Holy hell, dude. That is seriously badass, right there. I've been admiring all of these gorgeous trail-building pics you've been posting, but you finally got a reply out of me with that one. You have GOT to have somebody snap a pic of you going over that bitch when you're finished with it. I'd seriously love to see some video of you riding not only this gap, but other parts of this area as well.

Great shots, and cheers for having such a fabulous place to ride. Looks like the fuckin' jungles of South America. I keep expecting Bear Grylls to pop up in one of your shots, helping you with the chainsaw.

The tranny is just on the other side of the gully. Its going to be all dirt. It is already partially there you just can't see it. Yea I can't wait to get a big bike again. I can do pretty much anything on the Reign with a fork change though.

Thanks for the comments. Incidentally my buddy just got some high end camera gear so I will be making some vids of riding/building this spring and summer.

PS: Here is a riding pic on one of the stunts I made.

Great pic. Lookin' forward to seein' more as you get 'em.

This is when you know a helmet is going to do nothing for you if you fall.
