Downhill/Freeride thread
This thread is for anything related to extreme freeride or downhill, i´ll start posting this sick vid of thomas vanderham, he´s awesome!
Well, i´m bored of bmx and i got a little money so i want a freeride/downhill bike, what would you recomend?
i´m trying to get a Demo 8 2006, hope to be able to get it!
or might be a santa cruz bullit?
the bullit is $500 with a 5th element shock
The Demo is $800 with a dhx 4.0 shock
damn!

There are all these urban downhill helmet cams that are cool but this one has remained my favorite no matter what I watch. I'm not even a fan of kids but this one is a badass.
Then artistically I think this one is impressive.

Re: Downhill/Freeride thread
Me doing some pre-season testing on one of the nationals tracks. Such an awesome track nearly 4 kms long with a variety of different terrain. Got so cold some days i was riding in ski gloves and ski pants
I've got plenty of other videos so if you've got time to blow check it out: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheKtm800?feature=watch
I'm not a fan of pre 2011 demos, they're just weird imo. I'd go with the santa cruz and use the spare $300 for upgrades.

Re: Downhill/Freeride thread
You downhill mtb'ers are crazy. I could handle most of the on the ground stuff, but if I'm going to be doing jumps that big I want an engine so I can use the throttle to help smooth out landings and reduce the risk of stuffing the front wheel or whatever the mtb term for that is.
That guy on the two stroke

I use to swear by boxxer world cups until I tried 40s, once you go 40s you won't go back...mace-x wrote:damn, now i´m between a 2006 demo for $800 and a 2005 karpiel disco volante for $600.
