One-handed table photo is so awesome. I would be interested in pictures of the routing system on that Tree if you ever get around to posting them.

Frame is at home.  I will try to get a few snaps.  ps- thanks on the table picture.

Found a few I forgot about when I was looking for Model C pictures...


This is on my 21" Tree Little Buddy.  It was a sample frame I bought from Tree when they were testing out some different frame options.  Mine has a 75 HT, Spanish BB and a wild dual cable routing system.  And it was pink.  Loved that frame. Still have it, too!


This was my first 'dirt specific' bike I set up.  I built this bike up because the 4 pegged, freecoaster Tree was coming back all fucked up from the trails after every session and I was tired of cleaning it and making the brakes work again.  I sold an old video camera and BAM- my love for riding multiple bikes began.  This is a 21.25 Doyle.  This was also coincidentally the last session we had at Honda Hills in Rochester NY before the main guys started a new spot the next summer.  We only rode this berm as a quarter this one day, but it worked so good!  Perfect session to end on at Honda.


This is probably one of my favorite pictures on the Doyle.  This was such a good hip.  RIP X-Dreams Skatepark.

Most fun on my bike...

Are there a lot of front brake users on the board?  I was just thinking today that I needed to see if there is a "riders with glasses" appreciation thread as well as a list of members on the board who use front brakes.  I know Paranoidmexican gets down as well.  And mattchu too!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!  You need your front brake.  Repeat this to yourself 5 times before you take a wrench to your bike!!

you know what, tight radius fullpipes are wayyyyyy funner to ride than those giant 40 foot monstrosities... at least i think so

also when you make it out of the slickest concrete ever D:

I think I just love all types of full pipes.  I have rode the Louisville one before and it is really awesome because of the bowl it is in.  You can get some really good lines that end up in a high speed carve in the tube.  The only smaller diameter ones I have rode have been "in the wild."  And they were long so you could carve back and forth forever.

God Bless the Louisville full pipe.  Or Satan bless, or whatever else you are into.  Now that I think about it.......HAIL SATAN!

Not sure if you can find any decently priced 48 holes in Ireland, but if you bite the bullet and go 48, PM me if you cant find any rims.  I have never shipped anything internationally before, but I am sure I could figure it out.

LOL.  If anybody buys your hubs, they can get CHEAP ass 48 hole rims all day.  Add that as a selling feature to your hubs.

Did a roof gap and then a bombdrop off a wall. Both wheels are fucked and rear one doesn't spin without hitting the stays.
Time for 48H wheels I think

I rode a bike with 48's the other day.  The stiffer wheels made it worth the extra bit of weight you add, in my opinion.  It didn't seem crazy heavy or un ridable by any means.
