I am getting this sick ride pretty soon.

it is the 2004 haro extreme x1, it costs $850. it has 5-6 inches of travel in the back and about 4 inches of travel in the front. it is a sweet bike that looks even better in real life. i am a bighit freerider from western oregon where there are alot of trails. after i put this bike through its paces for a couple of years in gonna get this one.

it is the norco torrent. it cost around $1700. it will be my bike for when i get drunk and decide to do the biggest drop off that i can find ( probaly the local high school).

if you ride then post pics of your bike(s) and tell what kind of riding you do. later.

i wear cutoff carrharts.

youmOnt is just a poser. he only has a $150 mongoose. mongooses suck and you cant get a good bike for under at least 400 bucks. i thought youmOnt was a expert on bike riding but he isnt. i guess i will take his throne as the official forum bike guy . the type of riding i do is riding down a trail with roots in it and bunny hopping onto a fallen log that is ten feet above the ground then riding down the log and dropping of the end onto the trail again the hitting a 6 foot kicker dirt jump and then doing a 15 vertical drop off. that is what bighit freeriding is. it isnt on the road but in the woods where the real men play.

Yeah, it takes a "real man" to call someone a poser because he can't afford an expensive bike.

Also, apparently if you don't have an expensive bike, you can't be an expert on biking.

Even an "expert" like you can figure this out....

youm0nt > you

Okay where to start. First LEARN GRAMMAR. Also MONEY does not make the bike rider, and if you noticed Youmont is saving up for another bike. Also if you can bunny hop a ten foot high log, then you can get somebody to get a picture of you doing it. I really would like to see this. And who says 400 bucks is the minimum for a "uber" bike. The rider makes the bike, not the other way around. I could go on more, but im tired, so my rant is done.


EDIT. Funky i didn't mean to steal your rant..we posted at the same time.

youm0nt is like the nicest person on here...calling him a poser was quite uneccessary. And he knows a crapload about bikes, even if he doesn't have a real nice one.

what i meant by the 10 foot high log is that it may not be 10 feet high where i bunny hop onto it but it could be pointing up so it ends up being 10 feet high. i can only bunny hop 4 feet high. my friends dad is a former pro trials rider and can bunny hop 6 feet so im sure he can do almost any thing on the trail. the rider makes the bike huh. so what your saying is a 75 dollor Vertical from fred myers will hold up to a 20 foot drop just as well as a Norco VPS Team DH? i didnt think so. all i was trying to say about youmOnt is that he told me a while ago that he had a killer bike that was expensive and he told me yesterday that he has been riding a mongoose, which is only a step above a costco bike. btw what is wrong with my grammar?

Okay thanks for clearing the log part up, and i didnt mean the crappiest bike you could think of. I ment if you gave a pro a mongoose and a Newbie that new bike your getting, who will do better? My money is on the pro. Also i fixed you grammar, spelling, etc. I could've done it more thorougly (sp) but it takes forever to make certain parts in red.
