Yeah, that's the first time I've been out there with the water running. It was a real treat, very impressive!

Dude. You really pinn'd it on that combined 35 ft. of elevation. Intense. I feel your pain man. Sucks being this close to Kansas.

No man, I wasn't the original owner. I bought it from a guy in Colorado and I don't even know if he was the original owner or not. As for the wheels, my Iron Horse Sachem came with the same WTB wheels the Yak did, I think they were stock on the Iron Horse line.

Wow! Looks really good with that Boxxer up front. You've done a good job updating the bike all-around. Nice to know it's with someone that will use it well.

Great vid and fantastic review! So cool to see a rider on a hardtail enjoying the trail!

So here we are, on the cusp of a new season of riding. Just got a box of new gear and I really wish it hadn't come on a cold Monday morning. Now I have to wait a couple of days for my next chance to put knobby-to-dirt.

You're not kidding winter sucks. We've been reduced to practicing little obstacles in the driveway. I think this weekend I'll build a wooden jump to play on. Need some time in the pilot's seat. Come down and fly with us if you like.

I loved it! Good times. Hope you get to feeling better soon. Maybe we can do Miners Rock DH in the near future.

I just built a berm! Should I start my DH course or should I start on the Roller Coaster Park?

THREE tubes! Really? You give new meaning to the term "Tearing it up!"
