I just started up again last year. I have a very old Specialized bike. I need to start looking for a new one. Indy really has some nice trails around here, which I would have never thought that they would have. I need to find some people to ride with around here.

I race a few events each year, usually sport class XC or DH. I have the following mountain bikes:
2001 Schwinn Straight 8 w/ Marzocchi 888R
2002 Intense Uzzi SLX w/ Manitou Sherman Firefly Plus
2004 Ellsworth Id w/ Fox Vanilla 130 RLC
2003 Inglis SS hardtail w/ SID SL
1999 Schwinn Homegrown 4-Banger w/ Manitou Black Super Air
Northern California has some great riding. Tahoe, Northstar, Downieville, Auburn, Rockville, Marin, etc. For mountain bike vacations, I usually hit Whistler, BC, or Moab, UT. I'm headed to Moab in April. Can't wait!

Demo 9. I could never, under normal circumstances, afford this bike. I guess I was in the right place at the right time! It was near the end of last season and I was hanging out at my local shop when this guy came in. Apparently, he was new to the sport, had some cash to burn, and got the best out at the time-the Demo 9. So, he rode it a few times, then went out to CT with some hardcore riders, only to wreck hardcore and screw up his knee. He was looking to sell the bike. The shop didn't want it, but I did. I made an offer and he said yes. I've been riding it ever since. New, the bike cost over $5,000. I paid less than half that
