So, are there any downhillers who are here?
My downhill bike is my second love, second to my car of course! So, post up your downhill rigs or pushies! The picture attached is of my EL Falcon, and my 2005 Norco Shore. |

A friend of mine had his bike at work the other day, and it was awesome.
I've had very little to do with bikes since I 'bmx'd' my dragster back in the early '80's, and the gear this thing has got is mindblowing... Hydraulic disc brakes, suspension forks and frame, eleventy-twelve speeds, it was mental!! Oh, and it's only worth 3 grand.............. Ed

So any of you guys coming over to NZ for the World's down hill this week? I'm already booked on a fishing trip on the day of the down hill, but I'm going to go have a look at the four cross the day berfore, and maybe come back for the 'trials'. Its all happening right on my back door, just a shame that the town hasn't really gone all out for the event! Even got people complaining in the papers that the extra bikers out on the road training are causing problems to daily drivers!

I was over at the world's, but working though, I was in the Avanti/Specialized/Shimano expo tent for a couple of the days.
