The Next Step...downhill, dual crown, getting shreddy!

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.

Will there be a new dog in the next picture?

CRACKED me up! Handlebars, maybe, new dog, yeah!

Good luck with the build. Another non-DHer, but having vicarious fun.

Alas, I am completely out of dogs! I will keep this in mind for future pictures, though.

Here she is finished, sans dog...


First ride...we kept it pretty tame so I could get used to everything...SO FUN!!!!!


The effects of downhilling in the PACNW in November.
