Matt, Austin and I all run tubeless and non of us have ever looked back. we have the puncture weed problem so we had to run tubes+slime so it saves us a bit of weight. I've had minimal problems and all my problems would be solved if i just followed directions and got a wire bead tire. as for air leaking, i would say about once a month or so i pump them up and every 3 months i add some goo if i feel like it. i would say go for it.

nope no mp3

you get the mp3 plan with your wheels

Ha I wish I banked on the race, I made my money back and that was it. got the deemax's off ebay for $250 shipped, and I sold my old 66 for 300 so it worked out well.

how'd you get the hook up, well i gues you banked off the race

I know I heard. When does the gate shut. I want to get up there uno mas! Sorry I forgot to text you about the axle. I figured you'd just end up using the rear off your butt-rocket. Hope it didn't cause to much trouble, it was honesty laziness on my part

dude how do you get ur fz8 to take pics so good? i have the same camera and they always turn out shitty

Its the contourHD one from vholdr. the same one kyle was wearing for andy's vid.

its not a big deal at all, i cant wait to race again next year, you should have one in the spring and fall

haha naa man they are from the valley

2nd was lucas hodges and 3rd was kyle elliot, one lives in clarkston one lives in lewiston lol

naa dude 3 of em were from clarkston excluding me, i just cant see how my time was that slow

man are you sure my time was 3:33 or something like that, cuz i was mobbin and there is no way i was that much slower than everyone

nice man, i cant wait to ride it

where is the new section and features? i know there is a gap right before the step up

nice man, i can help out if you want, i gotta get some runs on my stinky, i got it like a month ago and havent ridden it on a real dh trail

alright sounds good man, im hoping to get up there the 17th to get some runs in

what are the new features?

yea i will, i have homecoming on saturday so i wont make it to practice, we racing somalia again?

ok well i found a seal/oil kit on jenson. i think ill buy it and either have the shop install it or when take it down to you some weekend before the race and get some practice in too. thanks again man

WSE wants to charge me 100$ for a fork rebuild, resonable??? thanks mikipedia

Hey I already submitted it. Sorry, Feel free to make any corrections in a comment under the story.

trying to get this published on the websites main page, submitted it yesterday... estes said it should go through

Yeah I'll be there again!!!

alright sounds good. let me know with more details when you get it all planned out.

hey mike, I heard something about another arms race? can you give me more info?

Yeah I'll be down for hood. talk to me next week, I've got a BUNCH of stuff to tell you about this summers set up.

hey mike, some friends and i are trying to get a whistler trip going for july 3-5. Not sure how many people will be able to make it but hopefully at least 4. Let me know if your interested.

haha nice not intrested though. I heard they used bushing instead of bearings.....making for a not so smooth rear end. and

Quick question, you were saying how the fork might be binded up with something. when i was looking at my bottom out i loosened up the nob so i could see where it was, So it is probably not aligned with the spring correctly?

hey thanks

Hey man i have a couple questions for you.
Where did kyle pick up that Banshee Legend Frame and around how much did he pay for it?

yeah he's a cocky son of a bitch, you should've seen him head up to the podium before they called his name this weekend. I wanted to throw my crank at him, but he is f*ckin good

hey any good trail over in renton?

Sorry we couldn't hook up so i could get that derailer some time i will have to get it from you.

how soon could you get the derailer to me?

yeah i saw, I got up to the course not planning on racing but kyle and will and adam talked me into it, so i had to get dressed and do a run through between 11.30 and 12 so i really only got to glance at the course. I had a really clean fast run until i missed the big rock step up which i hit perfectly in practice, then I also took the slow long easy out around the seattle line instead of the rock one to the left because someone said that would be closed for sport class (which it wasn't), I wasn't happy with my time but i know it should've and could've been better

I finished 3rd. So I was pretty stoked. I mean I know it was beginner but it's a start for me. 2:38 was my time

Dude, thanks for finding that. I just messaged him and hope it's still available.

ya well thats good man. I wish I could have made it up there. ohwell, I'll be up for the race at the end of april.

oh, well I have never ran that course, so I dont know what a fast time is, but im sure that is pretty quick.

oh ok, well thats cool. how did you do?

why arent you racing this weekend?

u gonna be racing fluid ride cup races?

ok thanks man, im still kinda undecided though. would the bank feel better than the TOP rippin with speed if i happen to race it DS?

hey mike what are your thoughts on the new transition bank? i want a hardtail and i am going to race DS so maybe it would be better for me then a TOP

ok thats chill man ill be over my hangover by then haha, but seriously if you wanta come party tonight that would be cool too and then rip saturday

give me a call sometime 360 618 2726 and we can BS the winter riding
