well there is edora park, which is awesome but thats more like central fort collins, theres one other bike ive heard of but i heard its mostly for skaters and not to good...so im thinking edora

alright thats fine, im also trying to get an intense or transition for some Dh and trail riding so if i have it by then we could shred trails too

how's the cowan bro?

you know it is

what is your name by the way. is it zach, cuz if it is that is sick my name is zach. you know its the best name ever.

hell yeah the rain is sweet. haha not. yeah it sucks but think of one thing it makes the ground soft and muddy for digging and building jumps. i should get my big hit frame tomorrow im pumped. i still need a lot of parts tho. rear cogs, cranks, stem, bars, brakes, derailer. but i will get it built.

what do you think of that fork. its 150. looks pretty nice to me.

hey what up dude, i think i am going to madison to ride at quarry park this sunday. i was just talking to antoer guy who is going also, he said its a pretty cool place to ride. you and your friend should come and check it out. this sunday.

are you guys getting ready to ride!! i have been out a couple times, i went down the snowmobile trails when it was muddy as hell it was sweet, lots of ice in the corners it was cool. hit me up when you start building stuff, or making trails. i should have my frame here soon, maybe tuesday. i got a dropoff 3, and a set of rims already but i need a ton more shit to fininsh it tho. let me know if you find any deals on rear cassettes, i found sram9 for 50 bucks thats pretty good deal and brand new. i wis the snow would melt in the woods, that is the only place the snow is left. later dude.

hey what up, i am buying a big hit to build up. how is that derailleur you have for sale, i dont know much about them is it good? i may be interested. i think the sait is a good deraileur. later dude

i dont know if i am going down there this weekend, i think its supposed to be warm and it will be muddy. they close the trail system donw when its muddy. so i dont think it would be worth the trip. if its nice i am going to go out in the woods near my house and ride and build shit tho. do you guys have the itch to get out and build shit, i know i do. i am looking for a different frame, i am going to build a bike up now. i think a big hit, a norco savage or maybe a brodie, i dunno i have just been watching for shit on here. this summer do you want to go to farmdale for the races, its may 4th or 5th, they have downhill, mountain cross. like i said the dh course isnt to crazy more like a cross country trail down a hill, haha but it would be fun. hit me up when you start building shit, i would be more than happy to help.

i dont think the course is very crazy, its got some rock gardens little roots and small drops. should be sweet. i am buying a new bike tomorrow i think. a dirt works. do you know anybody that wants a manatou dorado fork. red very good shape. i thkn it has 180mm of travel. let me know when you would like to go we will plan a trip down there. if you know anybody that has a dropoff 4 fork for sale let me know. teh bike im buying has a dorado dual crown and i want t big single crown. hit me up on a time you want to go. it would be sweet.

whats up dude. within a few weeks im planning on making a trip down to farmdale, to ride the downhill and mountain cross tracks let me know if you would like to go ride. i will have to watch the weather and pick a decent weekend, around 30 would be good. i guess they dont have any snow so it should be cool.
later

Yes, it's the 2008 Cowan DS. 1st production run, so new they forgot to send me the shock with it and I had to wait an extra two days to get it.

i just watched a video of rays mountain bike park. it looks sweet, i dont think i have the bike for it tho. your cowan would be sweet but i have a dual crown fork, it wouldnt be good for the jump parts, but i dont know. do you know anyone who has a good freeride fork for sale? if i had a dirtjumper fork or a roxshox totem fork it would be better i htink. it looks sweet tho,

im stoked for the snow tho. im going to alpine again sunday. i want to ride my bike but the midwest weather isnt going to let that happne anytime soon. so i am going to make the best of it and shred the hill on my board. im going to go for 7s this weekend, i will take my camera and send you some video of the park. and of my 7 attemts.haha

that is sweet, if you want to go anytime im down, have you been there recently? like this year. their park is sick dude. they have like 8 or more rails. but some are boxes its sweet. i like rails also but yesterday i was feelin the jumps alot more and when that happens you gotta hit jumps up. its not very often when i just feel like everything is perfect when i hit big jumps but yesterday it was and i had to roll with it haha. let me know if you want to go anytime i can get us in for 15 bucks usually, my friend that i ride with works there and he gets guest passes. they accualy have 3 park sections i forgot they have the rail hill the jump hill and another hill with smaller rails on it. i didnt go to the smaller hill yesterday so i dont know what its like i think they have a bunch of like beginner rails on it tho. hit me up if you wanna go anytime dude it would be fun.

i have been looking for a frame for ya, is the new cowan a dirtjump hardtail, or does the ds mean dual suspension, just wondering i havent found any newer frames for sale with the rear shock, only on wheelworld.com and it was an xl, just wondering if they make both, if you want a rear shock why not go with the coiler deelux? that rig looks tight, but you know what you want i was just wondering if your set on the cowan. it is a sweet ride. do you snowboard? if you do you should come to alpine sometime i live like 10 min. from there. i was just there today, it was sick dude their park is awesome. they have 3 realy nice big like 45 foot gapper jumps. it was sick the snow was awesome and i learned 540s today dude it was sick. now for the 7s. haha. later dude.

we should ride sometime, where is that pic you, it looks sweet. i want to ride with you guys at these trails you have for favs. do yo uhave any more pictures? i want to ride so bad, i was going to go to farmdale downhill course saturday but they are going to get 8 inches of snow i guess. so i will have to see what happens.

hey what up man. i like freeriding, i dont do much street, i dont have the bike for it. i have a freeride downhill bike. i see your bike, nice. we will have to ride sometime
