    Bunnyhopping a DH bike?

    Did your old DH rig you sold have pro peddle or stable platform type suspension? The techniques to pop you bike changed a bit when the new gen shocks came in. Maybe your suspension needs a little tweaking, though hoping is not a setup priority. Having said that I cant imaging many line on a DH...

    What are the must ride tracks around Cairns?

    So WOW!!!!! That trip went way to quick, but I had a blast! Thanks to cairns MTB for an awesome race, though it was tough! I thought I was entering B grade i.e. Expert, turns out there was only Expert and Sport no Elite so I found myself foolishly in the highest category. Though I had the option...

    What are the must ride tracks around Cairns?

    Hey Jeff, thanks for the clarification on the Kuranda trail. Though I'm tempted, your right its a little to technical for this weekend.... Having said that I am contemplating a day of DH with the tour guys! I had a blast racing the DH 04-05 nationals there. It would be nice to do some more DH up...

    What are the must ride tracks around Cairns?

    Thanks so much guys!! I'll be in town from Friday till Tuesday, I'm so pumped for the Smithfield race! The reason I haven't done any XC racing for a long time is because I could only afford to do downhill so the technical trails excite me though the seat on my new bike is set little higher than...

    World Cup UCI Survey Results to Impact Next UCI MTB Series

    I like 4X but I would love to see a middle ground of what we have and what they suggest. Such as make course rough enough that 5" on the front and 4" for the rear would be cool. I think the ability for a bike company to sell 2 different types of gravity race bikes is a good thing for them to...
