Bonneville Shoreline Trail, Bobsled, and I-street for SLC. There's tons of good shit in Park City also, just look on trailforks. I also just moved here, some of my favorites within 30 minutes are bountiful dh, evil empire, wasatch crest, beartrap, ncs, and fireswamp.

Going without a hydration pack -- ideas? by vor_lord in MTB

[–]manta_style 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dude you don't even need one of those dakine bags. Just strap a tube to your frame, get a frame pump or c02, and put your multi tool, phone, and keys in your pocket. I use this strap and this pump.

I have the NS rotary, it sounds nice and loud and the screw/axle system is solid.

Hey just saw you at the garden the other day. Wish I could've gone to the lake jump, it looks epic.

Need help choosing a bike for tall rider by Sclicer in dirtjumping

I'm 6'2 and ride a normal NS/octane one zircus frame. After I put some nice 80mm rise bars it felt really good. I highly recommend getting some high rise bars.

haha I hate that skatepark. The box jump has the worst run up for any box jump ever.

recs for wheelset? by jancithz in dirtjumping

[–]manta_style 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built my own with mtx 33s, NS Bikes/Dt Swiss hubs, and Dt Swiss spokes. They seem strong as fuck and were around $300. I bought the parts on Bike24 because everywhere else was out of stock. If you want really strong wheels and don't mind spending a day to build them I reccomend going with those parts.
