Just an FYI: I've been riding Attitash a lot lately and it's dry but still crazy fun. Some rain would definitely help keep the berms solid. They let you cut in front of all the families in line for the Alpine Slide so there is almost no waiting. It's worth a drive up, but bring your armor because the trails are rocky and technical. After you're done, you can go swim in the Saco to cool off (or ride their water slides if you like that stuff), then get a beer and food at the Moat Mountain Brewery in North Conway. A perfect day.

Just talked to someone who went to Bretton Woods for lift access riding. Don't bother going there because apparently it's a total joke.

ya i use a 2.5 minion F front and back, maxxis 3D compound usually if I can get my hands on them. i use the minion F in the rear too because it corners well and is really predictable in a drift. no need for braking knobs in the rear

man... you downhill guys are freakin nuts...
I used to ride some xcountry races here and there back in my day (few years ago)... but I've had way too many broken collar bones/ribs/sternum's etc etc to venture out on a downhill course again... sucks too....cuz In xc I always blew past on the DH thinkin about picking up another XC bike though... whats this I hear about the new full suspension bikes having a locking rear suspension ??? |

You're kidding about the locking rear suspension, right? Definitely nothing new, but still very effective nonetheless. I use the lockout on my fork and rear shock on my XC mtn. bike when climbing smooth trails or while on the road heading to a trailhead. Riding DH helps develop technical skills that a lot of pure XC riders lack. |

Two years ago, I was coming back from a ride on Cranmore Ski Area in North Conway and there was an XC MTB race near the base lodge. The course went down a very small flight of stairs before heading off towards the woods. At least half of the riders went over their bars and crashed on the first lap, so the officials quickly changes the course to bypass the stairs. I shook my head in disbelief and headed home.

I've never really had the opportunity to try any sort of downhill stuff. I got myself into biking and haven't been to that many parks, etc.. so I do mainly XC sort of stuff. I ride basically only at Borderland state park (because it's only minutes away from my condo) and some of the hiking trails are good XC trails (nobody really hikes them) and there's a decent NEMBA trail as well. I'm sure if I got to try some DH stuff I'd really like it, but if I tried it now I'd surely be a sweet noob at it crashing into stuff. I can hold my own pretty well doing XC stuff but I know it doesn't involve the same sort of skill a lot of DH does. My bike isn't anything crazy but it gets me by fine. I just swapped all the components over from my old Stumpjumper onto the new frame, because I broke a small tab on the SJ frame and I wanted a full suspension frame anyways so I just took the opportunity to do so. I want to eventually convert to disc brakes but my V's are doing well so I'm in no real rush.

Best thing to do is go to a ski area that has lift access riding, rent one of their big rig DH bikes, and have fun beating on it all day. Some places also rent armor and full face helmets so you don't have to shell out $200+ for that stuff.
