One of my buddies had a Big Foot that he was going to give me for cheap. When I asked how cheap, expecting like 500, he says 2k. No thanks lol I'll stick to hardtails. I prefer the feel and weight anyways. Obviously you can't go super balls out but whatever. I miss my Hardrock Only thing stock was the frame and seat. Got desperate for cash because I didn't have any work at the time and sold it for $150.

Hardtails are more fun anyway especially around town and whatnot, unless you actually do real downhill riding. But you could ride a DH bike around the city and do huge stair gaps and stuff tho.
There used to be a lot of trails and stuff where I live so I had a lot of fun on my mountain bike a while back. The trails are pretty much gone now but I still have a few dirt jump spots in the forest at least. I'm gonna have to do some work on them this spring tho.

Question pour vous: Pensez-vous que je peux faire de la descente à Bromont avec un Norco Wolverine 2010 sans problème? (Fourche avant Marzocchi 120mm DJ fork, hardtail, disque avant/arrière).
Je fais du bike depuis toujours (bmx, street, dirt, freeride, etc) mais je n'ai jamais fait de descente. J'ai ma passe de snow à Bromont et ça me donne vraiment le gout d'essayer la montagne avec mon bike durant l'été. Je veux m'assurer que mon Norco peut faire l'affaire avant de tout casser.
Et une petite photo de mon setup:
MB: Norco Wolverine 2010
BMX: Haro F3 2007 (pas sur de l'année)
Board: Forum Recon 2013
Ski: À ma blonde, je pense que c'est des Rossignol

I can't speak for Bromont, but I used to go in Gatineau with my hardtail.

I'd have to say you'll be pretty limited on dh/freeride trails if you go to Bromont on a hardtail, even more so at Mont-St-Anne.
I've done Mont-St-Anne on a hardtail way back in 2006 and it was hell. Bromonts "easiest" dh/fr tracks will make you bounce
everywhere at the top at proper speed and then it'll smooth out about halfway through the track.

D'après moi ton bike va tuffer la run en autant que tu le brasse pas en sans dessins. Attend toi a changer des pads de brakes en masse lol

There are some really good technical trails at tremblant for those that like XC. from super easy to "Do i really want to run a 5k bike down this".

J'ai déjà rider Hardtail en DH au mont-sainte-anne.. sa se toff.. mais bon.. c'est beaucoup moins le fun et le bike mange la claque. A Bromont sa doit être pas mal moins pires car les pistes sont beaucoup moins intense qu'au MSA.
Voila mon bike, Giant Glory DH
J'ai aussi un Devinci Hucker pour tout le reste, fun bike.

Yeah it's pretty cool! I definitely like bmx/mountain bikes even more than cars. It's always good to see another bmx rider too.

oh shit this thread is still going? Where would you guys recommend I go this season? I wanna start riding again, I haven't biked since I got my permit at 16. I'm out of shape as fuck, gonna start off real noob as fuck mode. Supposedly gonna ride around mtl and Bromont with some mawfugs.
Since it's been so long and 99.926% of my life is cars, I did the right thing and spent the least amount of money as possible buying a CT hardtail with the shittiest welds on the planet. Don't care about shit breaking. I also have a Kona Scrap frame lying around that I might invest in if I really get into it.
