matt325is - You need to come up north a little bit and do some riding here, galbraith mountain and mount erie are two awesome places that I try to go to relatively often.

I want to look up and see if there are any dirt jumping trails in West Palm. Maybe my brother will let me borrow his TRX Vegas :)

Ya dirt jump on bmx not MTB. Please.

Oh I know... I have never done it on an MTB. I just mean that I sold my BMX bike a while ago.

I don't pedal uphill very much.

wow that looks like it can take a real beating. those are the same tires i'm waiting to put on mine (the rear of the frame is a little to narrow now). How do you like them? do they grip really good on pavement dry/wet?

my bike was four times the price of my first car (super eta, $300)

[e30Matt]

30 miles a week+, I ride a Gary Fisher Supercaliber.

EDIT: I also used to race downhill during the summers, riding one of the new Cannondale Gemini DH bikes, but I fubar'd my ankle and now I've decided XC is the way to go. :)
