And rip some shores while at it. Want I was wondering… what bike is Simmons riding here? That looks like a long Slayer DH version and not a Flatline… see Rocky Mountain love hasn’t melted!
And if that doesn’t get you in the riding mood… this video will! A teaser for the upcoming full length video from Aaron Larocque “What’s next”. Can’t wait!
Marthahucker interviewed Katie Hayes, who made this realy nice video. Read the full interview here: /marthahucker.com

I’m still in love with my Remedy. One switch (no pun ;-) ) and it rides like a hardtail and a switch-back (get me going) and it’s a playfull ride down the hill. But there are a few things I would like to upgrade.
The SLX gearing for one, it’s by far not accurate enough as I’m used to, using SRAM. So that’s gotta go as soon as possible. The cranks however are quite good, except for the rings; they wear too fast.
The Juicy 5′s are not that bad. The white paint chips easy, that’s a shame. To me, the modulation of the lever is not good enough, and the disc bend just by looking at them. I got a new pair with the bike, as the ones that came with, where bend, but now these are bend too.
What do you think, is it true that the G3 disc’s the Elixirs come with, are better for braking and more durable? They’re only a few grams lighter and the levers are better modulated. But I want to go bigger for the rear brake anyway, so eighter pay extra for new discs and adapters, or go Elixir… what’s your advice?
