this forum needs some pics so post up your bike and any action shots you got of you riding it!
Ill Start, Just got new double track laced to an xt hub and a new bb7
UPDATE NOVEMBER 25, 2022: so glad so many people replied to this now legendary MTBR thread!!! My internet peak! Haha I thought it would be helpful to update the pictures so u can see the version of my bike I (think) I posted all those years ago! I ride a 2022 Commencal clash and live in Montana now but I still have my Evil… it’s a piece of bike history!
Not sure it's worth even posting in this forum anymore, but built up my 1st Dirt Jumper at the ripe age of 45. Spent my youth racing BMX and have been MTB'ing for the last 12-15yrs. Not sure I'll ever do this bike justice, but looking forward to playing around on it.
All new build. 2021 Marin Alcatraz frameset which was immediately stripped down and powder coated Jewel Grey. Custom frame stickers from Etsy. New Marzocchi Bomber DJ with custom decals, as well. Original were red. Full Deity cockpit and Halo Chaos Supadrive Wheelset.

Thats a heck of a build, i just "built" one up at 32 with no history of doing much jumping and i love it. I figured i'd ride it while my sons are small and then sell it but i think when that day comes i won't be able to, its a blast to ride around town popping of curbs or whatever and if you can get to a pump track its a whole other world of fun. Enjoy the build and don't worry about going crazy, theres already a 6 year old out there going bigger than most of us ever will lol.
I bought a discounted Spank Spoon one2one frame at CRC and built myself this beater bike. Had a used XTR crankset in the parts bin, put it to use, but will replace with Truvativ AKA/MRP Bling Ring.

I have to compensate my lack of skills with some bling It manuals beautifully, and bunnyhops feel much less labor intensive than on the '07 Ruckus DJ it replaced. I even managed to pull off my first bunnyhop to manual while screwing around yesterday (albeit it was on a 5" curb...)
Straitline AMP, steel axles, Superstar aluminum pins. I'm finding their platform a bit lacking these days, and would like to try BMX full plastic pedals for bigger area and less damage to shoe soles and my legs. Thought they all have sucky grip but tried some Kore and was very surprised. So I'll try to get some color matched doubly concave plastics with plastic pins. But I've been planning this for months now, and the AMPs just keep going. )
Changed pins to blunt aluminum ones after a rain/log jump incident where I had to scissor chunks of flesh out of my calf afterwards.
Very nice pedals otherwise. Easy to clean/regrease and rebuild. Longer lasting bushings than I expected.
It was Kore Rivera Thermo that I tried. Upon looking at many other plastic pedals, I have only found fully flanged axles on those Kores. All other loose ball bearing models that I checked have their axle wrench flats going all the way to the face that butts to the crank, which is WRONG. Do use those pedal washers guys.
My brand new bone stock 30.5 pound Polygon Trid ZZ. So slack and squishy compared to my rigid 24" BLK MRKT! Bought for jumps and bike parks but thought I'd try it at the skate park at dawn before the scooter kids take over.
here is my chase frame i just got. i painted it gold because ive never seen someone paint there bike gold, and i wanted to be different...it turned out nice i must say.

I finally found a replacement for my Morhpine. This bike kills. I think it came out before its time, so not alot of people bought them. Plus they look like crap on Banshee's website.

Dont post that often, but here is mine. Love the bike but would like to eventually lose the Gold Label fork for one of the custom Nemesis Project Marz forks.
