    Keeping this going. . . here's my Singular Gryphon, dropbar specific singlespeed 29er.
    Will not lull you to sleep on the trail, and a total blast to ride.

    Cool video my buddy sent me on snow biking in Marquette, Michigan. It's about 20 minutes long, but well worth it if you have the time.



    I think you'll enjoy this one, @Stone

    Quick shot from before my ride yesterday. It's been raining a lot here lately so the trails were very slick and muddy. I was even having some traction issues when going up some of the hills. That's probably why I didn't see a single other rider out, that morning.

    You have to "like" something before you get to use the "dislike" it. I think it's a flaw in the system. But who am I here but a mere gnat on an elephant's ass.

    My outdated S&M with extra gussets added because I used to kill frames.

    Somehow I don't have photos of my old downhill GT Zaskar from the 90's and the Electra beach cruiser.

    I miss the old BMX day's... Maybe it's just me, but I feel like I don't see kids out riding BMX bikes like I did when I was a kid. My parents used to have to pry me off my bike.

    I was the same way but I'm pretty sure my parents liked that I never relied on them to get places.
    I'm betting that we can blame the internet and gaming consoles on this lazy generation. I wasn't allowed to own one and I'm really thankful for that.
    I might end up giving my BMX to one of the kids across the street and hopefully he'll show some interest in it.
    I have my sights on a new PK Ripper 29" cruiser because my knees can't handle a beating anymore.

    Growing up in the 90's, we had some pretty cool video games and all that, but it still didn't keep me off my bike for too long. Definitely different times now, though.

    ^ Always liked the Cannondale bikes. I was looking at a Cannondale Bad Boy a few years back, but ended up with the Specialized Crosstrail since I got a good deal on it, and I couldn't stand the guys that worked at the LBS that sold Cannondale.

    I'll have to snap some photos of it once I pull it out of my parents rafters and clean it up. I moved from a 1400sqft house down to 900sqft so they get to store stuff till I build a nice shed.

    I have a 05 PK RIPPER, with S&m grand slams, limited edition camo redneck and animal steven hamilton pc petals. It also sports a 80s plastic GT seat. Crazy light bike.
    I was riding street and park with it up til about 3 yrs ago

    Oh man I'd love to see photos of that! I had one back in the late 80's that was all stock but it had red aluminum mag wheels.
