Maxxis High Roller Tire
One of my favorites
c120 89841590 1266960014.jpg?VersionId=ESoS3ga1ZYDKJpo2c2
The Good
Great grip and cornering, tough sidewall, chicks dig 'em.
The Bad
Can be a bit of a square profile depending on your rim selection. Run small.
Overall Review
I have used these as rears or fronts, for freeride and DH, desert and in the mountains. The ramps help scrub speed. I am a big guy at 230#'s and I am tough on sidewalls. These walls have never failed me. I would love the tire to be updated with the Maxxis Ardent/Advatage size (True size) and shape (Round).

Hutchinson Barracuda DH Tire
Awesome Tires!
c120 103131030 1267159521
The Good
Great is loose soil. When cornering once you hit the 'edge' they hold awesome! Great UST tires.
The Bad
Keep blowing them! Damn tires punctured right in the middle of the tread. Supposedly this has been fixed.
Overall Review
If they weren't $70 I'd be running these things everywhere. They work great as UST tires.

Morewood Bicycles Enza Frame
2010 Morewood Enza
c120 93050630 1271780513
The Good
The good thing about this frame is that for 4x hardtails, I don't think it can be beat! It's ridiculously stiff, sprints super fast, and is really stable in the air. Plus, the square tubing on the downtube and rear triangle make it look 250% beefier than any other hardtail out there.
The Bad
The bad thing is I get made fun of for riding a pink bike. But seriously... Nothing.
Overall Review
I guess my review is kind of in "The Good" section. If you are serious about 4x racing, buy a frame that's designed to do just that... The Enza.

Morewood Bicycles Ndiza Frame
Morewood Ndiza 4x
c120 93723600 1270500557
The Good
This bike rocks! It pedals like a hardtail, and is short and way flickable. It's also super stiff and stable. It's so fast, and it handles speed like a DH machine. Morewood makes top of the line bikes for kicking ass, and the Ndiza is no exception!
The Bad
The only bad thing is that I got rid of this bike, so I'm saving up for another one.
Overall Review
If you want a shorter-travel fully that is all-around amazing for freeride, mild-medium downhill, and 4x/DJ, this thing won't disappoint! It's a great race bike, as well as a bike that could easily be utilized on any trail you wish. Morewood is a great company to deal with.

Crankbrothers 5050 XX Flat Pedal
If God made pedals...
c120 99924120 1267167095
The Good
super durable and they last forever. i have had mine for about 3 1/2 years and they have worked perfectly good after much bike abuse. these pedals have lasted me through 2 bikes and not one problem, but...
The Bad
i just broke off the pedal all the way through when i noticed it wasnt feeling right under my foot.

THE ONLY THING BAD ABOUT THESE PEDALS are the cone pins, and the little allen bolts that hold the removable plates. I replaced those cone pins with regular cylindrical ones
Overall Review
4.8/5 Durability:5 strength:5 weight:5 price:4 grip:5

2010 Trek Scratch 7 Bike
Featured Member Review
The most capable all around MTB you can buy
c120 97464010 1269875317.jpg?VersionId=0iYl0BHxFpUKQHiT4Rwi2gxNHydIQn
The Good
Trek have hit a home run in the first year of this bike's existence. It rides everything you can throw at it and will have you wondering why you need to own other bikes. 7" of suspension that you would never know you have when you're climbing and totally active and bottom-less when you're pinning it. The bike is light and flickable in the air, it's seat-angle is ideal for raising the post and climbing. The wheels and tires are outstanding as is the DHX 4.0 rear shock, now with only 3 clicks of Pro-pedal making it much less of a pain in the arse to use.
The Bad
Being an entry level spec there are a few parts that could be better. Most notably the Fox 36 Vanilla R which suffers from a lack of low and high-speed compression damping and as a result is too easily bottomed and dives in the steeps. The dual ring setup in my opinion adds unneeded weight and is loud through rough sections of trail. But this is easily remedied with a simple single ring and guide setup. As with all the gravity oriented Trek offerings for 2010 it would be nice if wider bars were offered (you can always cut them).
Overall Review
The Scratch is the ONE BIKE you will ever need if you can have only one. It's fast up the hill and down, very comfy to climb with and even more apt to ripping apart the downhill, jumps and anything else you throw it's way. The suspension platform is as close to perfect for an All-Mountain/Freeride rig. 30lbs with a few upgrades is perfectly reasonable and still totally capable.
