My Mountain Biking Area
First of all, this is my New(ish) bike - its a 1999 Marin B17. A few things in it have been changed. Like for example the 97 XTR shifters, rear derailieur and Answer DH bars from the old Kona. Also stuck softer springs in the forks and got me some Kujo DH tyres - man, altogether, it goes Click the image below to enlarge...
I started riding in early 1996 with a 17.5"
1993 Marin Palisades Trail which proved to be too big for me. Consequently, I
purchased the Kona in mid-August that year. This is a pic of it below
Just recently one of the fullas brought along a Canon SLR with some B&W film in it and took some rather Aarrrteesstic shots - like this airborne one at the top of the Muriwai National Downhill track. Again, click thumbnail to enlarge Heres a couple of other pics I thought I might just chuck in all the same.... If you want to catch me, I ride with the boys
at Muriwai every Saturday from 11am and most Thursday Evenings (Nite Ride). We
have been doing quite a bit of track building (go back and check out the Wild Thing Page)
and that has kept us busy for the past 3-4 weekends
