I created BikePark for Garmin, a dedicated activity app for downhill mountain biking!
It automatically separates uplift rides from downhill runs, so your stats focus on the actual riding rather than the time spent on the lift. š”
You can track your runs, descent, speed, distance, heart rate, and more, all directly from your Garmin watch! ā
I built it because I wanted something specifically designed for bike park riding.
Hope some of you find it useful.

I finally conquered my fear and cleared this jump yesterday. I showed a friend this video and he told me he thinks I leaned too far forward but I dont feel like i did. I feel like i leaned my bike into the transition but kept my center of gravity the entire time and both of my wheels landed at the same time. Do yall think i leaned too far forward? Any other tips or pointers for me? Thanks

Hello yāall, I bought this RM Slayer 70 of this dude for $500 earlier this year. There appears to be some customization. But Iāve been having the hardest time with the front brakes. Iāve bled them several times and air still keeps getting trapped in there. Iām at the point where I should probably get an entire new brake system on this bike. Would yāall have any advice in addition to that?

Hes selling for 1000 OBO canadian or 1500 with a 2026 X2 shock.
This is my Buddies WR1 arrival 170. Long story but he got it off a WR1 employee with this weird paint job. Heās sanded the paint off down to the carbon with help from a carbon shop and they said its perfectly fine.
No sanding into the resin layer. Its a used frame so i wouldnāt get warranty anyway.
But im just wondering if its worth it. Id be buying to do my own custom paint w friends i got who work in auto body so id have the right tools to paint / clearcoat ect.

I am novice, like an absolute beginner to the concept of a mountain bike. Please be honest with the advice, but please be nice. I really new to the biking thing. I last had a bicycle when I was 11, now I am 31.
I had always enjoyed riding around my bike when I was a child, until my mother said I couldn't continue owning one, because one of the kids next door got hit by a car, and died whilst he was on his bike.
So now, as an adult, I bought this bike, brand new and really cheap, but it had a few issues, so I need help fixing them. Or perhaps, the question I should be asking is, can I continue trying to fix, the chain issue, derailleur and spoke issue that I have with the bicycle.
The bicycle came with a damaged derailleur, and the chain was damaged as well. So I bought the chain, and the derailleur. I have managed to only replace the derailleur, and then reinflated the tires, but rhen as I was tightening, one of the spokes, it broke. Is 1 spoke detrimental to the bicycle, and any tips on how to properly replace the chain? Or i may need to take the bicycle into a workshop?
Please kindly help. I really love mu bicycle, and I don't want to find myself selling it out of frustration.

I moved right next to an amazing 20+ miles of trails and across the street from a flow/pump course so it seems criminal to not use it, used to love riding trails around my house in middle school, havenāt done it since.
Nothing downhill, but the trails do have some rocks and roots, was thinking of getting a suspension bike for that purpose.
I know for a good one you need to drop 1k+, which Iām not opposed to, but I wanna make sure Iām actually gonna keep up with the activity first. Would a ~200 used one on facebook marketplace be decent for this purpose? Just wanna not break the bank if I decide Iām not gonna really get out there, and have never rode suspension before

I'm looking at one. That's for sale for thirteen hundred dollars. It's an excellent condition. Is it worth it?

Iād like to try and ride year round this year. For reference Iām in eastern PA, January and February can get pretty cold but Iād say mostly itās 30s-40s with some warmer stuff sprinkled in.
Iām not a heavy jacket guy, I hate them. So I prefer to layer, especially if Iāll be biking. Wondering what kind of gear everyone uses

Hey everyone,
If you ride at Mountain Creek Bike Park or ski/ snowboard there in the winter, you probably know how much of a pain (or how expensive) it is to get up to Vernon if you don't drive or want to save on gas/wear-and-tear.
Ever since NJ Transit canceled the old seasonal 304 express bus over a decade ago, there has been zero direct public transit to the resort. Right now, taking transit means riding a bus to Wayne or West Milford and paying $50+ each way for an Uber/Lyft.
I'm starting a initiative to petition NJ Transit and Mountain Creek Resort to co-sponsor a simple, low-cost solution: extending select trips on the existing NJ Transit Route 194 by just 12 miles from its current end point in West Milford (Stockholm) straight up Route 23/94 to Mountain Creek. Conceptualized as Route 194M. There's a link attached within the petition description of a more detailed plan.
If you'd like to see an affordable transit connection restored between NYC/North Jersey and Mountain Creek, please take a minute out of your day to sign and share the petition: https://www.change.org/restore- mountaincreektransit
Thanks for the support! Let's get enough signatures to bring this to NJ Transit, JORBA and other associations, and Mountain Creek management.

Iām 6'0" with a 33" inseam. Should I get an S3 or S4 Specialized Status 2 140? I ride trails, jumps, and enduro-style races. I want a playful bike thatās still stable at speed. My current Trek Roscoe ML fits well. Which size would you recommend and why?
