Back when I was like 10 years old I never knew anything about mountain biking but I though I was so cool when I had my bike from wally world with every upgrade they sold (the grips, colored tires, little computer thingy's that told you your speed and stuff, pedals, gel seat) MAN I thought I was the coolest kid in the world. Then I saw Drop In on tv and I thought it was going to be a skateboarding show (I was big into skating lol) and I watched it and it turned out to be a wicked rad Bike show and it completly got me hooked. I saved up for a couple of years and bought my first "decent" bike. A Norco Wolverine. Its been good to me and now Im in the market for a new bike... hopefully a P2 hehehe
