your house fuckin rules for something you can ride every day!

on other notes. i have a 2004-05 specialized big hit (the 5 inch travel white one) for pretty much everything. its real good for MX, DJ, slopestyle (thas me forte), agressive trails, northshore, pretty much ere'thing cept DH. its fuckin painful DH'ing on that bike... das why im getting me a demo 8 or 9.

i love it. i use my dad's old Merlin, which is a company that was bought by Lightspeed. i did this organized ride called "Tour the Vineyard", which was a 100k tour of Martha's Vineyard to benefit MS patients, it rocked. i'm looking to do another ride called the "PanMass Challenge" which goes from Worcestor, MA(northern mass) to P-town, Cape Cod.

every heard of Marin bikes? How about Gary Fisher? How about the Gary Fisher Bike called M
t. Tam?  Have yo heard of WTB?  Well all these companies are based out of marin and started the whole Mtn. Bike thing.   I live in Marin (the companies named after my county) and on the base of Mt. Tam (yes, like the bike).  Reasearch it.  You'll find i'm right.
