Sickest bike ever too... It did me well but all our trails got torn down, so its kinda insulting to have it just laying around my garage...
|
|
Was this shot on film?
It looks so freaking sick! |
|
|
Calaveras, duck pond, lincoln, TW, flightline... To name a small few...

If you want to fix this photo, download Picasa 3 from Google.
http://picasa.google.com/ Its free and in "Tuning", you can adjust the fill-light in the picture... Just mess around with it for a minute and you'll have the system wired. I downloaded this from PB and adjusted it and it looked alright, the rider was lit up like he should be and the sky wasn't blown out. That says alot because when someone downloads a shot from Pinkbike, the photo is compressed like mad and there isn't much room for adjustment without tweaking the photo too hard... With the original size photo that you have on your computer, you can adjust it way more. Let me know if this works for you |

Oh, excuse me for living at ocean level all my life
OMG, 5200 feet!!! I bow to you, you are a god and worthy of the praise of all peoples and cultures around the world learn physics before you go talking shit about people |

First time I rode a track like this, I was fresh out of the car at an elevation of 7,000 feet and on a friggin DH bike... Genius
I was coughing blood for days after  |
|
Without bad luck, there would be no luck at all
|
|
|
I'm not either, I'm just selling my bike.
Like I said, I have a hardtail, I just dont want to insult this bike any more by riding it on all the lame azz lines in calaveras. Riding this beast in calaveras is like having a million dollar race horse and only trotting it around your front lawn... |
|
|
I wish I wouldnt, but Calaveras is a warzone, and the only promise for trails around here only involves XC...
Hit me up man! I can still ride, I have a hardtail now... and new lines out in fallbrook |
|
haha hahaha hahahaha
Comparing names like Kona and Trek to Rotec is like comparing Specialized and Iron Horse to Nicolai... Rotec= domination |
|
even the CCDB works with the frame, you just have to run it like the DHX pictured here... reservoir down by the tire... which is essentially fine, because then you can actually reach the adjustments... my friend just got one for his RL
Sick rig man, youre gonna love it so much |
|
I'm actually not sure how he did it... But i know he did something funky with the bearings and caps that i'm pretty sure immediatley fried his warranty...
but it works, and its solid... I'll ask him |
|
so BMX bikes are meant to have suspension?
i'm missing something here... |
|
deal with it, he's still alive after this super ultra hardcore deadly head trauma risking gnarkill 5mph drift
and dont prop yourself, its sad |
|
its my aunts neighbors private track...
he says its chill for us to ride whenever, so we go down there once in a while... its fun, but all the lines are just one hit wonders... |
|
just get an '08 Rotec RL9
you'll never need another DH bike... ever where do you get all this money from again? or is it sponsorship status? |
|
Because they kick ass in every way imaginable...
And 30" wide DH bars are sketchy weak and just as expensive... Best bars ever period |
|
PLNU?
im bringing my bike next time i surf 33's! so sick |
|
explain to a fourth generation Southern California local how SoCal landscape is not drab and monotonous the majority of the time and why i got negative props... i'd love to hear it
|
|
|
thats rad
its funny how drab azz southern california can look so beautiful once in awhile |
|
Beautiful picture man!
Its awesome how one shot can symbolize the spirit and essence of riding... looks like a super killer trail too! ...damn i need to get my bike fixed... |
|
haha, no way
we charged down the face from there though... fifteen minutes of pure psychotically steep, rocky hell without a trail... my hands were stuck in the braking position for the rest of the day i was deathgripping so hard! were planning on building a sick trail though... but only for the hardcore riders, as theres no shuttle and its a huge azz mountain.. |
|
|
^^sorry, shitty wireless keyboard left the NT out of DIDNT
he didnt, but it was a quick crash, so he jumped back on his bike right away... me on the other hand, well all the dirt he tore out of the berm pretty much destroyed it and i went ragdolling into the bushes! thats a super tech corner! cant hit it with that much speed |
|
frame 6, thats when you pull back and kick down...
frames 8-10, ooohhhff, still tangled in your bike is the worst way to go! bummers! cool sequence though! |
|
haha, whoa! dint tink any of that stuff was still there!
i built it all in november '06... |
|
it wouldve worked, but we found it bare like this for maybe two days... now theres all these trees and bushes ruining everything
|
|
damn, if i had the money, i'd be all over this! i love these guns, and that thing looks suuper clean
|

for anyone looking for full size sample pictures from this camera, visit my Flickr:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/brb_photography/ its a strong, affordable and awesome perfoming camera, the Zuiko lenses are bombproof, and the camera is amazingly versatile... pretty small too, which makes it nice and easy to carry, especially when shooting biking or whatnot... and the 14mm lens is a great peformer with slight fisheye distortion due to the curved glass element being on the front of the lens rather than in the back like typical lenses, i.e. Canon and Nikkor... great deal on a great camera .02 |
|
draggin the hand around a turn? what is this, some kind of biking Bertlemann? haha
killer shot killer bike! |
|
did it with the Gimp...
look it up on google and download it, theres lessons on youtube on how to use it trippy at first, but relatively easy to use |
|
he got the frame on Craigslist...
lucky bastard |
|
well you definitley did a good job!
way to make use of that Canon! |
|
|
R.I.P. to it all... f-in complaining environmentalist pieces of crap thinking they saved the world by tearing down trails
we spent literally 500 hours out there building that place, it was our killer secret spot rigt smack in the middle of the city... it lasted for a good while though |
