    Explorer shackle length

    The wrong shackle length / angle could also put your spring in bind. I thought there was a shackle length calculator thread by maybe ADSRACINGSHOCKS but I cannot find it now.

    Ditch Loop Trail Work

    Well, you win some and you loose some. Trying the new line, the speed going into the jump isn't there still. So the jump needs to shrink some and I think I need to excavate the trail back further for some more slope running into it. If nothing else, it will get me more soil to build up the berm...

    Ditch Loop Trail Work

    That would be rad. I have one of those short handle sickle things similar to what the robot uses. I haven't really tried it out yet. I wish I could swing a late start and go out with you.

    Ditch Loop Trail Work

    Reworked this section that I had told myself would wait until next season. I was hoping to get a little more berm stacked. I'll have to soak the back side dirt and pull it up some later. Hopefully this adds some flow to this section as it has always been disapointing.

    Rock Crawling - Spotters or No Spotters?

    That dude has the easy button figured out for riding anything. It was incredible watching him blitz up Sledgehammer from the top of the canyon one of the years. Also humbling was not being able keep up with Gram Jarvis while he was riding with no rear mouse and the tire held on with two rim...

    Rock Crawling - Spotters or No Spotters?

    Sounds a lot like the Bakersfield boys. Except when they are spotting for an event or something legit. Fenner, @delux5k is a ridiculously good spotter when he needs to be. I have trouble as I have been so deep into not using a spotter for so long that I suck at being spotted as I am still...

    Rock Crawling - Spotters or No Spotters?

    @4lowlance like to "spot" all the mistakes I am making getting through a section. Not to help, but more so we have something fun to talk about around the fire. I don't ask for one unless I can't see what is keeping me from getting through and I have made a few different line choices, I have run...

    Dirtjumper’s worth the price or just stick with bmx?

    Dirt Jump for sure. There are a bunch of bike parks / pump tracks out there and more popping up all the time. Plus you might find local jump trails. Unless you plan on airing out of the bowls at the skate park and then a 20/22" BMX might be better for that. I have an older Commencal Absolut that...

    Anyone else like that Slate EV?

    If the Maverick stayed at the price point they were supposed to hit and / or had a plug in hybrid with a 40+ range I would probably be driving one. The fact that the stripped ones are 32k + is silly.

    Ditch Loop Trail Work

    Did some hardscaping yesterday. Rock island with an arch sculpture. Mainly to keep the Surrons from turning around in that area. Also did a stacked rock wall on the inside of the big hip optional line. Just used mud as mortar. Lets see if it holds. This shovel was a rad find at a local estate...

    2011 Kona Stinky TL

    You should reach out to Jessica Farrell and start doing some rides with the Moorpark team. They would probably be stoked to get another teacher out there. I think they are near the end of season though. I could get you her info if interested.

    2011 Kona Stinky TL

    a 27.5 fork even in the same travel will probably be an overall improvement as it will slack out the front some getting it closer to 2016 geometry. :LOL: You could go wild and put a 27.5 wheel up front for a mini mullet. I will probably be building my 26" dirt jumper with a 27.5 fork when I...
