I almost got a stump jumper, what I initially looked at but went for the FSRxc Expert as I got a screaming deal and wuldnt have gained to much by going to the stump jumper.

Eric let me know if you ever want to knock the dust off that thing!! I ride at Papago at least once a week.
 
i just got one of these. its an eastern thunderbird basically a 26" bmx bike. it should be at my house next week. i got it to do some more urban riding and maybe get into dirt jumps. the bike i have now is good on the trails but not so easy to throw around with a huge frame and pretty long chainstays comparably.

Kona; you will have to let me know how that rides, I am looking at those too, maybe getting into sone pump trails along with some dirt jumping. :D

I swear I am going to kill myself on one of these damn pedal bikes before my motorcycle, I know I need to invest in some elbow and shin protectors. Already have the chest/back protector and helmet but nothing for the limbs. [smirk]
 
i will let you know how it is extreme. i cant wait to get it. i have the tracking number but it doesnt look like it has actually been shipped yet. i wear a helmet and am thinking shin guards would be a good idea. although the eastern has plastic pedals i think, my kona has steel pins that are not shin friendly.
 
I have had more than my share of stitches in my shins from my bmx days!! I still have my 20inch bmx and park bikes, It is so weird to ride them now that I'm used to the 29er!

Eric, do you have a uni-cycle for real. I played around on one for a bit but have not mastered it yet!
 
no offense but unicycles look like the dumbest things to me. yes its hard and i respect the talent it takes to ride one but they dont look fun at all. i guess its just not my cup of tea. i did see some unicycle competition on tv once and watched it but still something i wouldnt ever want to do.
 
I had this bike when I was going to college and had more time to ride the trails outside of town. It was pretty fun, til I broke my right clavicle. Never really got back into the off-road/downhill stuff after that. Plus it wasn't much good for riding around in town with only 8 speeds. Also, I enjoy riding my Buells much more.

Yeah I want to do my best avoid stitches, as I am sure the bill for those will out weigh a set of shin guards the first time around.

Hmmmm, $50 copay for ER, plus extra for gas to get to the hospital $15, loss of a day of riding, of and the pain...... so yup $65 for ICON shin guards are a must to order.

its a ton of fun. feels really solid and is very smooth. im not a big fan of the brake but i have an extra set of calipers that i can use one of. little bit of getting used to though. got a couple skid marks on my ass but its a very easy bike to throw around. i am working on getting the manual dialed in but i still need a little more time. havent taken it to any dirt jumps but gapping stuff and hitting drops around town is quite a bit of fun. im also working on 180's but rolling out of them is a challenge for me. i really like the fork on it too.
 
BPlass: Xtreme, is there anything you and buellchick don't have/do?

Hey, you only live once [up]

I have done everything I could, turning my entire life into a Bucket List Trip since my return from Iraq.

Like I always said while I was overseas. "Better to Die for Something, Rather Live for Nothing"....

But now I am home so I live every second like it is my last. Death creeps up on us all some sooner than others and if I am one of those it creeps on early I know I had one hell of a time living as it chased me down;)

12,000ft up, hit the ground and wanted to just jump back in the plane for another round, this is going to become my next addiction..... Thanks Pyrat;).....
