For those of you that know me, you know that this is a LONG time coming. As of September of last year, I realized that I was going to need to get and new ­frame­ since I cracked my 2003 4BY, and ultimately a new Freeride and Downhill bike. I finally decided on a ­frame­ in April of this year and have been waiting for this moment for almost 4 months now. Just the sight of my bare ­frame­ sitting in my garage during that time was more than depressing (It actually brought a tear to my eye once ). So since the beginning of this year I've been working my ass off, working 2 jobs and additional job babysittng over the summer. It's finally all worth it.

So I'm not going to delay this any longer. Here are my 2 rides and I love them both to death. Enjoy and I appreciate any feedback. Thx .


And sorry for the semi-bad pics, every time I upload them, the quality turns to poo.

hahaha. Yea man I was on break from work. (I work right across the street from the skatepark, which is handy . Nothing better than going on a 3 hour break riding at the skatepark and getting paid for it. ). And hey, if your gonna ride, you may as well ride it hard and just giv'er yo!

And yes the Glory is amazing in every way, and I'm going to be testing it out at Blue Mountain this weekend. I can't wait. I just hope I can make it back in time to give Rob's Mom another test drive before the weekend's over. .I'm sure I'll make it.
