Looks sick man! I'm really digging the new Torques Canyons head-quarter is based like 15 kilometers away from me. I've just been there last week when they held their annual birthday fest

Wish I had use of this type of bike in Estonia

We're definitely noobs, and youtube definitely killed the clarity, but I think this works for a first edit.

Let's try that again without huge black bars on all four sides.

This jump may not look that terrifying on picture but it was probably twice as big as the biggest I had ever jumped before
I did a nose-dive aka Ronnie Mac on the same jump 20minutes later. Posting video of it soon

Earlier this year (April) I've been in Utah to ride and shoot at the famous Red Bull Rampage terrain in Virgin and it was such a blast. Living in an huge RV for almost a month with 2 of my friends was absolutely killer yet really exhausting! We also got some nice footage for the MTB-Magazine I use to take photos and shoot videos for. Here is one of my favorite shots from the trip (unfortunately facebook ruins the quality again):

Bit of a bump, many mountain bikers getting around here anymore? A mate and I have got pretty into it. It's such an addictive feeling and always leaves you wanting more, I bought a polygon d8 about two weeks ago and I love it so far.

Also does anyone play that mtb freeride pc game? I remember seeing some info about it on this forum somewhere but I can't find it.

Didn't have money to ride mx anymore.. So I decided to buy this pile of shit last summer:
(the Stang is not mine)





Converted it to this with the money I had (poor student):



Now let's see how it goes when the summer comes. Hanging on the edge of interest between mx and mtb riding but I know the mx option isn't really an option now.
Can't really use more money to that bike but I thinks it's fine enough for some light FR too. To be honest I hate people who rides with the best equipments only. I'm gonna learn some decent riding with my low budget hardtail and save the money.

Parts from the original bike:
frame, cranks (actually very good), transmission/shifters, rear wheel (going to trash).
Bought some wide bars, Hayes and Shimano brakes, Dartmoor pedals, Hussefelt stem and the Rockshox air fork. The front wheel is definitely a bit overkill, but I got it cheap..

Looks like you did a sweet job, Yeah I am in the same boat. Coming from moto, MTB is just so much easier. Just throw the bike in the ute and off you go. There is more places to ride, It doesn't take away a entire day like MX does. Not to mention it's a lot cheaper.
