no, if your bike works, leave it that way...do they make snow tires for bikes?!!?!?

just a fun little hobby, and to be honest...once you learn how to work on them, you can build them and make them yours for pretty cheap.

I may go for a quick little ride today. there are a couple 'little' dirt trails that stem from the train track bed bike trail by my house. one area even has a nice area for jumps. like, bmx track style shit. some though...they are 30ft drops for the most part.

anyway, it would be great stress relief and I'll show you pics if I go. probably via el text message-o

I'll be waiting for em! Enjoy, wear a helmet, and make sure you keep one hand on the bars and one hand on the D90 on those 30 footers!

I don't jump anything more than about 3 or 4 feet.

I think its a chest mount. more than likely on his chest plate/protector.

dude is pretty boss. he helps build downhill courses for events and everything.

Awesome vid your friend posted, Sean! Assuming he's using a GoPro, tell him if he uses the vibration plug, it gets rid of the "chattering" noise while you're recording:



It comes with every GoPro, but most people don't know what it's for.

Yeah, I don't know if it's because I'm maxed on the coils or what...but honestly, I love how it looks without it. Hmmm...for now.

But I can tell you that I've normally only gone a week without it, and when I put the spoiler back on I normally feel like it's going to stay...this last time though, it stayed almost a month and I immediately thought to pull it when I put it back on. Hmm...

I was doing some research...I don't think I'm sold on rear window spoiler OR the type s lip spoiler. I think it looks sleeker with nothing.
