take the max up to the zoo and take the crazy as fuck jump / north shore / street park setup EVER>>>. i mean thers a fuckin 25 foot road gap.... its huge. and you can lap it all day for 1.45 thats the price for the max... and if you long board .OMG the streets for the surfing are Gnar Bhar.. but there is some nasty downhill sectonts for sure.. you just got to pack your dick and balls. but watch out there are "zoo bombers" and they fuckin try to claim there turff but fuck them...

yes zoo bombing is so much fun, i do it all the time in the summer. lap that all day long, its awesome

there was another thing in the Oregonian about wierd portland people that dress up in costumes and bike down broadway but thats not he real soo bombing

ski bowl is also a lot of fun too in the summer but when you add up gas, lift ticket, and al that it gets kinda spendy

I race XC. Was into downhill but couldn't afford the bike at the time. So I just rode XC and fell in love and then could afford either a downhill or XC bike and got XC.

I usually get about 500-600 miles on the dirt every summer if my schedule permits.  I ride a Heckler with a 36 VAN RC2 and  DHX coil, it's a nice trailbike and works well for what I do.

Was really into freeride and downhill. Then I hurt my knee so I started road biking. I really like it.

I usually do a mix of downhill/dj/urban, but last summer i tried out some roadbiking. If anyones heard of the Trek Across Maine, you should do it. 185 miles in three days is an insane workout, and i hadnt rode a roadbike prior to it.

if only the mods on pinkbike were as chill as here it would be a decent site... i mean come on i just cant post much quality that is solidly focused on biking and has never ever been brought up before. not that i dont like it i check the pods and forums occasionally... but i really wish ns had a big biking base like even a summer branch of the site that could compete with pinkbike as far as info goes
