last but not least, the price. first point here, if someone wants to spend 13k on a bike..i say good on them and i thank them becasue without them the demand decreases and prices increase for the rest of us, companies have profit targets to make, and no these targets are not ridiculous..this is simple economics! second point, people above in this discussion, mint you have a great bike for what you do that cost you 2600! mint deal but id put money on it that you dont shred as hard as someone that spent 10k on a bike, and the only reason you got that cheap bike is because those people that are spending the big bucks are helping makeup the defecit on the cheaper bikes. Im also willing to be a majority of that 13k was spent at his local bike shop..bet the rider gets the best fucking backup service around and is stoked beyond words on his bike! At the end of the day who really cares what people wanna spend on a bike..thats their choice. This is such an age old argument and humans will never let it go becasue there always has to be someone to blame! If you can only afford a 2500 bike you really dont need to complain that the 7000 bike in the corner is to expensive..get a life! if you were that much of a rider that 7000 would be cheap in your eyes.

After reading these i really question alot of things! First of all, MX vs MTB..really?? your actually comparing the costs?? comparing mx, a massive world wide, hugely televised, massive sponsorships, massive world tours and races, and massive exposure, all of which creates a huge increase in popularity and therefore sales, bringing the costs of things down..basic economics! but your comparing this to mtb, specificly donwhill??? really!! a tiny sport, not to my knowledge televised frequently anywhere in the world, no major outside sponsorships, world sereies which last a quarter of the lenght of mx and a involved population of thousands less..that has got to be the most bull shit comparison ever. 2nd..to all your riders out there that complain about parts consistently breaking, harden up and maintain your shit! Take some actual care and pride in your bike if your that worried with braking parts..but on the other hand stuff will break!! nothing is indestructable

Do you want a sponsored rider or tester in new zealand...i know just the person...ME:)

can anyone tell wat the name of the song is playing when emily batty is riding?
