ive been getting into doing dh quite a lot over the winter have managed to actually grow some balls and hit some jumps and gaps which I wouldn't even normally even think of doing. these are 2 of the ones ive recently done and im waiting on the video evidence to be sent over to me.





its good to ride with a bunch of guys who encourage and give you advise on how to tackle stuff so much better than just going out on your own and missing out on stuff

the ns is a nice bike but a lot of money and the spec isn't that great for that money. That's yt Tuesday carbon money and that comes with a full race spec bos forks bos rear shock for £3100

I do agree that the capra did have problems when it was first released but I thought they had sorted that

Still coming out, look on Pinkbike. Id have had one happily but seeing all the problems from quite a small company is a worry. Cracks around the lower headset cup, cable guides, linkage, rear mech hanger. Seems totally random where it will next break!

13.5kg it weighs. Ain't bad for the parts on it. Mostly it's the wheels and thick dh tubes I reckon.
