frame size Like Randall said, I'd go for the 17". with a smaller bike, you can whip it around corners and have great control and maneuverability of the bike, whereas with the larger bike, you wouldn't have as much. It's also easier to make a smaller frame fit larger then to have a larger frame fit smaller.

Forks? This isn't about the bike, but the fork. for those of you who really know the forks, how does the Marzocchi fork compare to say the bomber forks or the boxxer series, or even the Fox 40's? I'm currently riding a boxxer world cup and this looks thinner and less durable. Whats your take?

Review title...
The only thing I have to complain about this jersey is the lack of color choices. Other than that it is great! Superb breathability, and the amazing quality that has become synonymous with the Oakley brand...plus it looks dope when you're out shredding the trails!

Review title...
I have had this helmet for a couple seasons now, and I have to say when the time comes I will surely buy it again. Nothing is more important to protect than your head, and I have to say that this helmet performs. The price may be a little steep, but then again, think about the cost of the hospital bill if you didn't have a helmet!

super light, performance helmet!
I use this helmet mostly when I dirt jump, its so light that sometimes I forget that I am even wearing it! it is a little pricey for a street helmet, but you are certainly paying for quality. Its survived falls, accidentally being dropped hundreds of time, and even an air soft bullet or two, and i still trust it with my head. Been using it for at least two years now as well!

Good for a while.
These gloves were great to me, great grip and functionality. But sadly they began to lose that grip and padding after a year of hard biking and inevitable falls. I would have gotten rid of them anyways because they began to smell like nobodies business, if you get these, which I definitely recommend for the money, make sure to wash them occasionally, trust me, you'll be grateful!

Rented this helmet, and now i want to own it!
As the title says, when I went downhilling in Colorado (world class mountain biking, comparable even to the god known as Whistler in British Columbia, Canada) and it was awesome. i know not many of you think of this, but i like my helmets to have good weight distribution. Not to much i n the front to make you rock forwards, and not to much in the back to make you lean back. A little weighty, but not enough to be an issue. Love the graphics too!

Great helmet!
This helmet is great! takes care of all your basic downhill needs without sacrificing too much weight. Good helmet for the money, pretty nice design too, i couldnt bring my bike along on a trip so I rented and this is the helmet that came with it.

looks great+rides great=epic bike.
as i said in the title, no word is sufficient to sum up this bike but epic. probably the best downhill bike you can buy on GiantNerd for the money. My friend owns this and let me take it out for a spin the other day and let me tell you, the marzochhi forks rival the fox DH race float rear and boxxer world cups on my trek session 8!

Super Durable
i've had these on my dirtjumper for the longest time (too lazy to put BMX pedals on there) I normally ride with nike 6.0 BMX shoes(recommended for the DH crowd, very good grip) and these always do the job. Sometimes when my feet are out of position i have to wait until a straight to put my feet into the proper position. but other than that, they are great! lots of grip and super durable!

very nice
perfect goggles. keeps the snow out of my eyes in winter cruising down the slopes, and the mud out of my eyes biking down those same trails in summer.

GREAT!!!
For those pesky flat tires, this patch kit is t he way to go. nice and light, throw it in the daypack, and you good to go!

very nice jacket
This jacket is very nice. Ideal for fall/early winter conditions. I do not recommend say, taking it to the ski mountain. But for camping, hiking biking etc it is perfect. An awseome balance of warmth, lightness and durability. it looks great too!
