http://www.imagestation.com/video/play.html?id=4239564613 This video link should work, it takes you to the dl page. ImageStation is whacked, but what do you expect. Broadband takes about 15 seconds to DL. This was a one take video. It is playing from the link on a 300mhz on my network, so it must work decent enough. LOL, just turned on the speaks on that 300. Sounds OK as well. darsh

The great thing is, you can do anything. I would love to explore bumps, but we are limited to the
terrain that the quad at Buttermilk provides.

Hell yes Darsh! It took 2 hrs to download, but was worth it.
This will require further investigation after I get the Turner built.

HOLY SH!T! PHENOMENAL! I must say that's is absolutely the best video I've seen. The Quality isn't
all that great but the substance was simply the best.
Nice touch at the end with the Afghanistan puppy....very sad.
Peace,
Bill The mind serves properly as a window glass rather than as a reflector, that is, the mind should

That's pretty cool. Needs a brake device IMO though. That turn/skidding/foot down brake technique
may be ok for you but most bicyclists would want a more normal brake device.

Oh-So-Sweet. If I end up getting a blur, or something with more than 3" of travel, I might just try
that out... looks like a blast!
See if you can get a distance shot of you just carving down a wide open blue cruiser, I want to see
what kinda lines you lay down! And if you can (as MattB said), take that thing into some moguls,
that would be sick.

Ever skied, dude? Thats what you have to brake with. Yeah, its a different technique, but then

Only been skiing since I was 8 years old or so. 🙂 I'd like to see that ski bike go down a mogul
hill and actually use the suspension.

8 years old, bah, you gotta start when you're 4 😉
That'd be sweet going through the bumps, maybe a bit nuts tho! I think it'd get mighty tiring having
to swing the rear end back and forth that much.

1250 is pretty damn hard to beat. Trust me, I've looked. I'd love a racer-X, but thats around 1600,
and the 100mm fork versions (Including the Edge Cycles Icarus) are even more than that. Last year's
tracers are going for 1300, which is sweet, but those are heavier and not as efficient (reportedly,
I've ridden one a little and will compare it to whatever else I ride) as the Blur seems to be. The
Epic is nuts expensive. The loco moto is good, but again, more bobbing and whatnot.
I'm not going to be stupid and just jump into anything, I'm definitely test riding first. But
despite the massive amounts of hype and propaganda, from the reviews I've heard (including people
that didn't buy it, so no "I spent $2000 on it, so it must be good" [censored]) its a damn nice bike.
If you've got any suggestions for 3-5" travel, XC riding/racing oriented bikes (designed for riding,
but light enough and efficient enough to race), then lemme know.

Cool beans Darsh-man. That ROCKS! I still haven't gotten a response from the local ski area
regarding ski bikes. I've emailed them 3x. Me thinks they are formulating an opinion in real-time.

Yup DL was fast for me too. It looked pretty cool. Now I wonder about the winterxbike XC kit (like
your bike, but with a rear wheel).
