RE: companies pussing out and not covering their products when the ads they use to sell them show agressive riding. I know it's a site sponsor, but DB bikes blows when it comes to warrantees. If you actually ride the Mission the way the video shows, it will break, and they will not replace your frame. That is lame. Tight...

Check 1:34 of the video for the scissor-link action. I think the weight gain over using a design with rear pivots is not even worth mentioning, considering how much stiffer this design is.

Where is that track?! i.e. what are the road numbers from top to bottom? ...I haven't seen that track out there before.

I yell at people who roll lips and f*&% up all the hard work that I've done digging. If you're not going to respect the work it takes to keep jumps looking nice, then don't ride them. NO DIG - NO RIDE.

I will definitely be getting an HD gopro for next season. the set and forget mounts are really small so I don't mind having one stuck to my helmet all the time. I put the mount on the jaw-piece of my full face, so that the lens is parallel with my eyes giving a real POV angle. the nice thing...

The jumps are elsewhere.... but the trail is still super rad. Ride to the top of 843 (on 287B ) and turn right immediately through the fence... up the rise, veer left, and you're dropped right into the trail. The corners are still loose and now that it's drying out a little you have to watch it. Some of the berms could be benched back a bit more... I rode it again yesterday and had an incident with a cactus after cutting through a loose berm.
