Park/Dirtjumper: Evil D.O.C. with 100mm Marzocchi DirtJumper 1 fork, Maxxis HolyRoller tires, Thomson, Diety 3-pc cranks, Animal sprocket and bash guard, Shadow halflink chain, and the KHE mtb freecoaster hub. Fakie, woohoo!

Downhill Sled: Specialized BigHit with Marzocchi Shiver and Manitou 6-way shock, 26x2.7" and 24x3.0" Intense tires at 15psi, Thomson, RaceFace, E.13, XT, Hayes Mags. Can you say cush?

Freeride Trails: Specialized Enduro SX Trail with Marzocchi 66, mostly stock, Thomson, Avid Holzfeller and Juicy, tweaked chainguide. This bike likes to fly.

Cross-country Singlespeed: Ti Sports hardtail frame (they make wheelchairs) with RockShox Psylo SL, Maxxis HolyRoller tires, Thomson, White Industries Eno hub with Dos Eno freewheel, CrankBrothers EggBeaters, Goldtooth Bashguard and Pink Chris King. Nimble, quiet, fast.

Fixed gear killa': Ti Sports road frame, Thomson, White Industries Eno hub, CrankBrothers EggBeaters, Tioga Spider seat, Planet Bike full fenders. The best way to get to the bar.

These guys keep me sane, smiling, sweating, cussing, bleeding, and longing for more. It's safe to say that my therapist has two wheels.

I came of age as a roadie, started racing cross-country in undergrad, and quickly moved to the gravity disciplines as the year wore on. I currently ride downhill, freeride, park, street, fixed, and flirt with cross-country. Wouldn't mind getting back on a road bike for some base miles.
