silly costumes and singlespeeds, but how hardcore do you need to be to compete on this!

there's a challenge for those of you wondering about competing this year?

I have been dared to single speed my 8" downhill bike :paranoid:

I'd like to see that Bob - Mark Weir did ride a 1 speed Nomad (Blur LT???) at Napa at SSWC08 and got 2nd.
But DH??? Dunno...but go for it mate.

this is the smallest I've been on, and not sure I'd be able to do more than a few hundred meters on it!!!

It is a singlespeed tho, just don't think it will handle the mud or hills (up or down)

Or ride 1st 100 metres - then do same except for beer short cuts and final 100 metres!!
Truly wonderful...

Blue Dog, if you can think of a good enough cause, or a worthy charity, I will ride my Intense Socom, as a singespeed :sly:
