Just did a great techy descent with Ian Hylands and some of the Specialized crew. It was Ian's first ever 29er ride. We all crashed once. Nobel Canyon - it's one of California's top ten. I was on a Scott Genius LT 10 (7inch bike) Ian has 100mm of travel and 2.125" tires. He was going good.
Yeah. Rob Roskopp from Santa Cruz HATED 29ers, but after they made the Tall Boy, he ended up riding that almost exclusively He has a place at Northstar, and he was sending it on the DH runs there. 100mm bike! Yeeow! I figure though, that a lot of unseen issues need to be addressed before the 29er DH bike hits mainstream riders.
HAHA! Thank man! We wanted to get the series started with a good one, but I had no idea that it was going to go off. Karl found the pic of Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant - how cool was that?
