Used Downhill Bike gets Fixed, Ridden, and Named

This story is as much about a used $500 downhill mountain bike as it is about Kevin's progression as a rider. Less than two years ago, Kevin started mountain biking in earnest. Up until that time he had only borrowed bikes and/or ridden casually.
To avoid abusing his enduro bike, Kevin bought a used downhill bike for $500, but it needed some TLC. With a very minimal investment, he and I got the bike running well enough to take to Windrock for a proper test.

When the trap beat drops you know Kevin is about to wild out

@aminrazawan482 5 лет назад

Btw why didn't you replace the one by to a 8 speed drivetrain. Why didn't you replace the chainstay protector. It looks really ugly. And it didn't protect the chainstay really good

6yrs ago I met a good friend by the name of Mike better known as "six-o" in the messenger industry. We both loved bikes and paintball. Mike rode dh, We began hanging and playing paintball. I mostly rode bmx and wanted to get into mtb. I couldn't afford a good mtb, Mike gave me his v1 transition bottle rocket and said here's a gift I'll help you build it. I know it's an old bike, but I love it. He began to teach me about gears, parts, setups and such. 2yrs ago my friend was killed by cops and I didn't want to ride anymore. But today I am more determined to finishing building this bike in his honor.

Got the chance to ride with him for the first time back in January for his first big drop, by the time I came to visit him in North Carolina, a few months later, I could barely keep up with him at Bailey. So dope to see it properly documented! And of course for Gallagher to get some much needed attention 😂

BMX taught me so much.. I went to whistler for a month with no DH experience(I won a free trip to camp of champions in exchange for my artwork). Managed not to die yet did all the hardest runs daily, all the while wearing a bmx lid, vans slip-ons, and no gloves or protective gear apart from my helmet and goggles. No doubt on of the best time of my life.
