This is what I'm hoping. I can be somewhat timid on off-road descents, and this seems like a good way to push my boundaries on a gnarly bike with lots of body armor

Haha, you both need to keep me updated then
After the damage I've already done, I don't think downhill is in my future. But I'm looking forward to getting back on the bike & hopefully taking some lessons to get my confidence at least where it was before!

Ooo..downhill hey. YOu could follow in the footsteps of Rachel Atherton, Caroline Buchanan etc
If you're looking for downhill based boards...Pinkbike.com, mtbr, downhilldownunder.com
Have you seen the "Life Cycle" film yet? Awesome stuff! Saw it last night as part of a fundraiser for our mtb community.

Thanks! Yep, I saw LifeCycles, it was amazing!
She's starting to look more like a bike...she needs a name...any ideas?
When I started riding XC I never dreamed I'd buy a DH bike someday...and yet here we are. Look what y'all have to look forward to!

Will there be a new dog in the next picture? No downhill for me, I hear it is crazy scary and crazy fun. We have a new trail the local club is building with downhill potential. Can't wait to hear your stories.
