Nope...you're a poser who's probably riding a Huffy and has never even seen a D8. Without pics, the burden of proof is on your...LOL!

Two rides? I'd say that's two rides too many to put a review up. On mtbr, you're supposed to review the item the moment you get it.
i thought you were just supposed to review it when you put in the order then tell how long the promised wait time it?
Wrong...

Well before the pre-order review, the wait-and-complain review, and the actual ride review, you're supposed to have at least a dozen posts covering "what SC bike should I get".:D

scfreak...don't hurt your head there. Wear a helmet. And BTW, if you know this guy, help him post up some pics. In this age of high tech communications and such, posts of this caliber are worthless without pics. I'm an old geezer, and I'm even thinking about Twittering.:eek: Let's see the pics of this fabulous machine.:lol:

Dude, you must be like 50 or 60 years old, it doesn't even look ridden!
50 - 60 is the new 40!
You're right...picture was taken right after
the build (and many beverages!).
I know the picture looks like **** (it was taken from my phone
late,after many beers).
Finally!

LOL!...well, it was worth the wait. The bike is absolutely beautiful...but you still might be a poseur.:D What kind of riding will you be doing with it? The Boxxer looks like it was custom made for it.
Thats a sweet set up I also really like the bike stand... you get that from park tools?

GEEZ...What's it gonna take? Action photo's? I promise I'm no poser! LOL ! !
Thanks for the comments. I'll be racing the Northstar DH series and next year I hope to
"branch out" further to get more races in for my son (and myself).
I do ride locally here in the Bay Area and can say that this bike can climb
(albeit a bit slower) but doable. The bike is amazing, it accelerates like I've never felt before, and really sticks to the ground.

Thanks for the comment. I actually made the stand at work.
Thats sweet I am actually going to steal your design if you do not mind, also do you know what the weight is of your bike in that setup?

As shown bike weighs 38.2 lbs.

NO DOUBT - I'm stoked about that stand! Nice bike too btw! Was thinking of getting one but the no front der thing scared me off. Looks like a perfect park bike tho.

Have FUN!

Thanks for the comments.
I wasn't so concerned about no front Der,as I've been running a single (36t)
for quite some time. I was more concerned with total weight and the
"pedalability".
Turns out, I was concerned for no reason! !
I'm running a 34t.
