Not making it this year, but looking to sell my bike. '04 Specialized Enduro Expert. Mostly stock. Probably won't sell the seat with the bike ($120 WTB). Willing to talk price, but not giving the thing away. Frame is in awesome shape. Could use tune.
Let me know.

Car Info: this required information?
I was there on Monday for a track event, but I brought my bike and rode the dual slalom track. It was the same as it was 5 years ago, pretty crappy to be honest. I was looking forward to riding the BMX track, but they were there at 7 in the morning already tearing it down! I figured it would be up for at least a week... guess not.
Did they get rid of mountain cross? I didn't see it anywhere.

ooo nice^
I just found out that the dirt jump comp is gonna be held in Aptos at the post office jumps tomorrow (Monday) aka the stomping grounds of Cameron McCaul and other Santa Cruz County Pros
dont know what time, but i'll be there.
The jumps were cool a couple years ago, i bet they are ginormous now.
They have a 50 foot triple, and a 10 foot tall 20 foot gap double...10 feet tall!

Too me the PO hits are all about the first animals. That is how they started. Was just a big mound of dirt and we starting carving jumps out of it. Was fun as hell back in the day. You could go big or go small. Now everything is so big and so rhythm orientated that you can not mess up. It's definately built for those 15 guys that are doing it.
Polo grounds is the same way but there's a few small guys.
I keep saying that I'm gonna let people build out behind my house just so I have something not so massive to ride. I am old and just don't ride like I used to or as often so that stuff is way out of reach for me.
Even the hump jump has gotten turned into this gnarly back flip jump.
bah... gettin old.
I'm proud of cam and his group of guys. Some of the best guys in the mtb jumping scene are coming out of SC. Pretty damn cool. Who would have thunk my little jumps would get so big...haaaa.

Those jumps are huge! i mean, they are medium, but so close together, you definitely need to bail or commit right when you land to do the next jump that is 10 feet away.
I dont like those jumps, id do them if they werent such a close rhythm, but i like flat long jumps, motoX style.
I got lots of pics, i'll post them later.
Roll in is gonna suck, but at least they have more room at the bottom to build.
I still wanna go to the bike park at the beginning of the wharf in SC, some cool box jumps and ish
I hear you on getting old, im almost 22 but man breaking my collar bone threw me out of alignment about 4 years ago. S*** still cracks when i move my shoulders around. Im done with doing crazy stuff like them...but if i were getting paid for it
Yeah i didnt see MountainCross. I think BMX took that one over.
