Mountain Biking - Big Thanks to this site! Just got a Hardrock Sport.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who posts on here. With your help I decided to get a '05 satin black Specialized Hardrock Sport. As soon as I was able to get it home I took it out for a little spin and experienced my first crash. I went over the handle bars, did a somersault, landed on my feet, jumped up and let out a big "WHOOO-WHO!" It was rad! Both the bike and I came out unharmed, except my ego a bit. I'm really looking forward to getting a lot better and hitting up some trails pretty soon.

Thanks again!

Hehe, sounds like you had fun. :D Great choice on bike, now all we need is some pics. ;)

Ugad13,

I am trying to decide which to get, the sport, sport disc or comp. What swayed you to get the sport?

If you have the money I'd definately go for the comp: better fork, better discs.

I decided to get the Sport mainly because of the price. I also thought that I didn't need disc brakes because I am not an experienced mountain biker yet. If I feel like my talents become greater what the V-brake offer I might upgrade to disc. But for now, the V-brakes that came on it are pretty good, at least I think so.

The only pics I have right now. I need to find a better free hosting site than the one I put my car pics on. If the pic is not linking, it is cardomain's fault.

This is what I don't get. You can spell the words half the time but the other half you can't / won't? Follow the rules. No AOL'ese here. Thanks

Dont be scared by raiyn. He just likes to chew on the AOLese when he gets a craving.

Congradulations on your bike! Have fun! Its good that you followed our advice and didnt get something like a y26.
