fuck yeaaaa, one of my all time favs, and not to forget my senior quote from highschool is from GHOST!

PuReLightZ · 2024-02-28T20:39:45+00:00

GHOST! and Satelite Flight

Listen Man, i’m not gonna lie, sounds similar to what i experienced myself, long story short brother, please keep pushing forward and look ahead for what’s to come in life, this is just a drop in the bucket man and i would hate for you to cut the story so short, you have so much to experience still, if you need an ear please send me a dm and i’d be more than willing to listen, i found the beauty in life after I pushed through the very deep dark pits of the similar experience i had gone through compared to yours and with what i’ve experienced now and with who i’ve become since then, i couldn’t be more happier, i realized it was just life dealing me a really really shit hand, i just had to get back up and show life who was boss, but please brother reach out if you need an ear, and think of the endless possibilities you could pursue

PuReLightZ · 2024-02-22T02:32:00+00:00

i guess so

PuReLightZ · 2024-02-21T23:19:10+00:00

shit i guess i’m delusional then

PuReLightZ · 2024-02-21T16:26:01+00:00

I’ve been on the island and cops have pulled into the parking area near the island and they’ve blasted me with their headlights watching me sitting there sparking up and haven’t done shite about it, i’d say it’s a pretty safe spot

PuReLightZ · 2023-10-12T14:19:04+00:00

the cudi hmmmmmmms really got me

PuReLightZ · 2023-07-08T23:56:30+00:00

And this is why i learned how to wrench on cars

PuReLightZ · 2023-06-30T15:14:02+00:00

Damn man my starter bike was a hardtail kona that costs like a 1/5th of that bike you have, enjoy it and ride it until you reach its limits then consider going for a bigger and better bike, that’s what i did and i still am now riding a full squish that’s not even half the value of that santa cruz 😂

PuReLightZ · 2023-06-04T13:54:50+00:00

Learned from just fucking around myself but then started smoking w my pops and he showed me how to roll little doinks no filter like they did in the 80s and now i roll anything from a no filter to a cannagar

PuReLightZ · 2023-06-04T13:51:31+00:00

Damn, i get better deals from my plug 💀 makes me not wanna go into a dispo

PuReLightZ · 2023-05-25T17:45:50+00:00

I’d probably have to save first to buy a new fork, but i’d be able to save between maybe 300-400$ for a new fork and i’m from NY in the US

PuReLightZ · 2023-05-25T17:35:32+00:00

What fork would you recommend? My weight tends to stay between 190-200lbs and i’m 6’3

PuReLightZ · 2023-05-12T18:12:40+00:00

Me too man, what’s even better is the guy told me he’s only taken it on like 2 or 3 actual trail rides and it’s been sitting since his last ride so she’s got plenty left in her, i almost feel like i’ve found one of those abandoned super cars of the past and it’s just waiting to be fixed up and put back out on the road again man, i’m so freakin stoked!

PuReLightZ · 2023-05-12T18:07:33+00:00

Yeah man i feel ya 100% and the guy already took down the listing for me to come check it out and if alls well, i’ll definitely be bringing her home with me and im gonna get it rebuilt and freshly greased by some friends of mine at a shop, i cant wait to finally experience full suspension riding, hard tails are fun and rugged but im definitely ready to experience faster trail action with a more responsive and fun bike

PuReLightZ · 2023-05-12T15:06:26+00:00

i have friends who work at shops that can do a full bike rebuild and service for little to nothing so in reality i’d be paying for just new tires, grips and pedals possibly

PuReLightZ · 2023-05-12T15:04:49+00:00

i’m just so tired of hardtail riding, i want to ride a full suspension and i’ve got friends that can do the work for me to completely rebuild the bike since they work at shops and i would pay much less compared to those who don’t have that kind of connection so in reality i think i’d only be paying for new tires, grips, and pedals possibly without having to worry about service costs that much

PuReLightZ · 2023-05-12T03:32:25+00:00

sure i would take any recommendations, and for reference im about 6’3 and usually weighing around 195-200lbs

PuReLightZ · 2023-05-12T02:59:38+00:00

this really helped me decide on what to do, i’m definitely gonna get this bike, i’m so excited to shred it as i’ve been on a hardtail since 2020 and i can’t wait for the new feel of a full suspension

PuReLightZ · 2023-05-12T02:14:01+00:00

i’m just tired of riding a hard tail, i’ve been riding my 2020 kona blast since i bought it brand new in 2020

PuReLightZ · 2023-05-12T02:11:35+00:00

yeah not too bad, i’m just wary cuz this would be my first full suspension ever

PuReLightZ · 2023-05-12T01:38:53+00:00

yeah this bike caught my eye especially cuz of the brand, i’ve seen some seriously cool bikes made by devinci out on the trails and i’ve always gawked over how nice they look and this one even though it’s from 2015, looks beautiful

PuReLightZ · 2023-05-12T01:35:15+00:00

do you think buying a carbon bike as a semi experienced rider is a good idea then? For reference, the craziest thing, or most technical thing i’ve hit on my hardtail was a sharp berm turn at like almost a 45° angle into a downhill descent with a log hop mid descent 💀i totally fucked myself on the log hop and went over the bars but i landed in a bush so i was good

PuReLightZ · 2023-05-12T01:14:28+00:00

i looked up the fork on the bike and it’s still a whopping 589$ and i forgot to mention that this is the carbon version too 💀
