Intro

Hi Everyone! 

This is my first ever blog and am seriously looking forward to it! :)

I intend on bring to light all things mtb related. Part of the plan will include some gear write ups on the bits and pieces I personally own. 

Hope you enjoy what I do. 


Cheers!

PS. Please be patient whilst I figure this beast out! :)

2013 POLYGON DHX - My First DH Rig

I have recently bought a 2013 Polygon Collosus DHX. This blog will be a collection of all things related to the new steed. I will perhaps do a little write up on my thoughts about it. 


This was the maiden voyage of my 2013 Polygon DHX 

I flew over to Melbs from Wellington, New Zealand to visit my best mate, pick up my new 2013 Polygon Collosus DHX and ride the Yangs. The maiden voyage on the new steed was great! First ever DH rig, so pretty new feeling but FULLY stoked! It rides really well. I found it feels quite small and nimble for the 18kg rig that it is. This is the first time ever trying doubles. Not amazing, but I kept the rubber side down! :) Next time I'll smash em!!.....That's the plan anyways!

At the shop. Tom Sanders kindly took a photo and sent it to me. He said, "Get keen mate, it looks awesome in the flesh".

These are photos of  the initial build. My mate in Melbs received the bike and kindly put it together to check if all was in perfect working order
