Sunday Freeride!

Ride On brothers!
Sunday we had a huge group of riders making for an awesome day!
Momo, had a new drop he built by his house and it was stellar!
about 2.5-3meters high! very scary but he dropped it with style!
As for me I some how hurt me calf and it cramped up on me. I was unable to ride from the last half.
Then I tried to ride again and ended up hurting myself bad!
3 cracked ribs and Im out for a while now!
I will be resting through the new years!
RidEOn!

Magura Gustav M



There is a mild hype about new Magura brakes for 2011. That's how I got the idea to take those pictures of the classic Magura Gustav M with the rectangular reservoir as on the 1997-2000 models, which my wife  Birgit still uses on her Grossman FDT 2001 hardtail. After a decade it is still perfectly reliable and offers ultimate brake power.
RideOn!!! Manny

A magical indian summer on the first of December! a cold morning followed by a warm 18 degree afternoon!
I had a 2 hour lunch break so I went up to Romance Lookout point!
Its a super short tril full of jumps and drops! It also really steep so you need to watch your speed, specially since there is a layer of Autumn bliss covering the floor which is awesome but easy to slip!
RidEOn from Japan!
