I have a pair of DZRs for 'casual' town cycling when I need to walk as well. They're pretty good.

For a lot more suggestions, check this thread out.

DZR's look cool.

Which thread?  This one?

Specialized Stumpjumper. Love it!

Now,  that looks like a trail….

[JCar2666]

Jesus specmvl!  Where is that trail?  I dream of places like this to ride my mt. bike.

[specmvl]

Vinschgau, South Tyrol. Amazing trails over there and 300+ sunny days/year. Went there for a 2-week trip of pure MTBing last year. Highly recommended, though there isn´t much else to do besides riding your bike.

[JCar2666]

Definitely gonna have to google map that.  I don't have a clue as to where that is.  Sounds and looks amazing.

[specmvl]

It is in the Italian Alps. Looks more like Austria, though.

I could live with that

Used to go to Are in Sweden once a year for downhill/freeriding back in the days. I just love riding high speed trails downhill and taking the lift up. No mountains and very few larger hills over here where I live so it's something I only dream about nowadays. A friend of mine is in Utah at the moment and the pics he sends me make me cry…

Edit: Since we love pics - here's one of me from Are in 2005. I rode an Ellsworth Joker back then, I really loved that bike..

[specmvl]

Nice pic, looks pretty fast.

[thomasnunnally]

Yea, nice pics man, any more like that?

[Giles]

Thanks for all the help with the spd's, this is what I got (Prezzie from wifey)…

[specmvl]

Can´t go wrong with fivetens! I´m abusing the Macaskills for platform pedals.

Found one more snapshot of me riding a skinny…. Same mountain, same year - good times!

Have you seen "Where the trail ends" already? It's releasing tomorrow and it's the first freeride movie I'm genuinely super-excited about. Amazing footage and crazy riding. Check out the trailer on Youtube, you'll love it!
