Yeah, there are a few of us on here. So did the guy stay on the bike in that photo I put up? Looks like he already has a mouth full of rocks.

mtbkanata,
sweet photos! makes me want to move to canada and drop out of school. i noticed one guy had an evil. do you know how he likes it? i am debating on one too many frames right now and the evil i have heard is the king of all. i think i should just click buy already since everyone says i won't regret it.

Yeah, Ryan loves it! Sorry, his name is NOT Matt! :)
I taken it for a rip. It's super solid... you can ride it XC too if you want. The first thing you notice when you sit on it, is that there is virtually no top tube (Because of the way it's designed), but once you start riding... it doesn't matter. The bike is solid as anything!

Is that you inviting me over for riding and beer? Okay, you're cool then! :)
A friend of mine moved out West from here, and has been teasing us with info ever since... I used to live in Calgary, and going to the mountains was just an every weekend thing... come to Ontario.. and... well... you get to realise what you're missing!

you are more then welcome to come for a ride. Beer is a required part of the post ride meal :D...
What are blue mountain and searchmont like (are there even others)?...There has to be somewhere to ride there. You seem to get some of the best ontario shots around :)...
