Hey Bud trail on Blackcomb mountain. Spent an evening on Blackcomb this summer, and it was a welcome change to the blown out dust bowl that is the bikepark.

I've never really heard of this bike, but thats not to say its bad. If I were looking for a bike in this price range, i would take a look at Commencal Bikes. Depending on what type of riding you might be doing, the Meta TR V4.2 or Meta AM V4.2 would probably work well. They are proven to ride...

A little bird told me that Trek R&D was riding what looked like full carbon Session 29ers along with the raw alu 29er proto from the Dirt Mountain Bike Article. The bikes looked super well finished, almost as if they were production but they didn't have the braking damper like on the alu proto. Who knew trek was testing in...

I love it. The range of adjustment is incredible. I only spent one ride on the stock monarch (when I demoed it), but i can say that the monarch was a bit more active and "poppy" than the X2. I haven't explored nearly every tuning option available, but I am happy with the way it rides currently. Anyway, the X2 feels incredibly controlled (when set up correctly) and is super plush and nice. It does better in the big hits, deeper in the travel (compared to the monarch), with a bit less small bump compliance and mid stroke support (mostly...

My name is Peter, and I am 16 years old and living in San Diego. I have been riding for about 8 years, but I only started riding seriously about 3 years ago. If I had to describe my riding style, I would call it conservative with a good bit of un-coordinatedness mixed in. I don't fall often, but when...
