Henlo, friends…

Hey dudes, so my last post was a question about a bike I saw for sale. It got me to thinking about my current bike. I haven’t ridden in almost 4 years, after totally fucking up both my knees, and not being able to get proper physical therapy where I was living at the time. And I just turned 53 on New Year’s Eve (40 years of skateboarding, BMX, road and track racing, with a shitload of illegal alleycat races, has taken its toll on my body and especially knees). I recently moved to Arizona, in the west valley area. I was living in Coeur d’Alene Idaho for a few years after leaving Seattle. I’ve done some looking online for places to ride, and it mostly looks like dusty, rocky, flat trails. There has to be some spots that are actually fun, and not just a sort of, pedaling through the views, type of thing. Anyway, the bike I’m riding is this thing… fully custom built Banshee Rune v2. It’s currently rockin the coil-over (which just looks cool as shit), which I actually really like the ride on, but I also have a Fox Float x2 that I’ve never put on it. I’m not really even sure what the difference would be, having only somewhat recently gotten back into the whole mtb thing.🤷 Anyway, my bike, which I absolutely love! (The tires were dusty as shit after riding this big sort of dip to a jump on the side of a crop field, between tattoo clients)
