Not pressed play yet but that looks like the top section of Fort William just after the start line yeah?? I've ridden down there Big Grin

RE: If you like MTB... watch this! - Niall - 20-06-2012

Makes me really want to get my bike built up and get out there again. So far I've got a frame and headset haha

RE: If you like MTB... watch this! - Dan! - 20-06-2012

Damn, some of them rock sections look brutal! I wouldnt like to ride down them slowly and carefully, let alone at speed! :|

lol they are brutal and better at speed than slowly tbh! Its such a long and hard track that you can hardly hold onto the bike by the bottom of the course, they have changed loads of sections from when I rode it though watching that!

RE: If you like MTB... watch this! - Niall - 20-06-2012

I have a set of forks that would be lovely on that frame but your not having them as they are on my hardtail, 6" travel manitou nixons with handlebar mounted travel adjust Big Grin

I will dig out what I have, there are a few front and rear mechs and other bits from memory that are all new!

Fit! Always wanted a set of shivers, never had the money though and once i did it somehow ended up going on something with 4 wheels instead...

RE: If you like MTB... watch this! - Pete - 21-06-2012

Awesome, makes me look forward to getting to some of the 7 stains soon Big Grin

RE: If you like MTB... watch this! - Poodle - 21-06-2012

Im having trouble working out what the last 2 stains might be....?

RE: If you like MTB... watch this! - Grant - 21-06-2012

That video is epic. He is carrying some serious speed through the whole course. The rock sections are similar to those at the dragon downhill at cwm-carn. Did that on a hardtail, less than comfortable.

How do you get on with the big hit? I had one for a few months, couldn't get on with the geometry and popped the rear shock Si got shot of it. A bit too wallowy for my liking, but then I'm used to free ride hardtail setups.

If someone offered me an intense m3 however.... :drool:

Oh tell. What you got? Please say marzocchi bomber z1 sports? Had them on my last bike an they were epic!

RE: If you like MTB... watch this! - Poodle - 21-06-2012

Hardtail rigs ftw, much more fun.

RE: If you like MTB... watch this! - Niall - 21-06-2012

That's my old hard tail. Really regret selling that. Was so much fun.

Also bought this

Was grubby white but had it sprayed focus st orange. Sold that before I even got a chance to build it!

RE: If you like MTB... watch this! - puglove - 21-06-2012

God its been soooooooooooo long since iv even thought about riding, thing is its such big money now days to have anything worth having Sad

RE: If you like MTB... watch this! - Atterz - 21-06-2012

Its seems a lot of the time mountain biking goes hand in hand with car enthusiasm.

What? There both stupidly expensive and you never stop spending.

RE: If you like MTB... watch this! - Atterz - 21-06-2012

Exactly Smile There just seems a lot of interest, ie if you like one, you like both. Must be the speed aspect! And on this note, get well soon Dan!

RE: If you like MTB... watch this! - mark_airey - 22-06-2012

Nice collection! so thats 3 of us who currently have or used to have a Big Hit, anyone else?? lol

If you like MTB... watch this! - Pete - 22-06-2012

Yesyesyesyesyes.
Although I've switched from full sus to hardtail so I'll see how that goes haha!

RE: If you like MTB... watch this! - Poodle - 22-06-2012

Do it! Although i haven't ridden for coming on three years, so will probably fail pretty badly now...

RE: If you like MTB... watch this! - Niall - 22-06-2012

I almost bought a big hit but after riding a few I really wasnt impressed!! Would rather of bought a kinda stinky (almost did... It was cheap haha)

RE: If you like MTB... watch this! - Grant - 22-06-2012

I must say I wasnt too impressed by the kinda stinky. But then that said, the big hit didn't wow me too much either. The best dh frame I have ridden has to be the demo8. Specialised sx is a good all rounder, just not too great on the big stuff.

Would love to be good at trials. That looks epic. Some I Chris akrigs stuff is amazing!

RE: If you like MTB... watch this! - Ruan - 22-06-2012

Ehhh not a fan of the Demo 8 in all honesty... felt too big and cumbersome, if I was paying THAT much more than a BigHit, I'd want something that isn't just a tarted up BigHit..

Do like the SX Trails, really nice to ride...
