Great to see that Yeti being ridden and not hanging on a wall or on display in some shop window. My own 30th Anniversary SB6 has been ridden hard since 2015. The whole second half reminds me of Southern Spain riding.

My friend put this bike together for his son and before I knew it he was done kzbin.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L When the son came to put it together he was surprised to see it was already done. All he had to do was take the bike to get air and be on his way. My friend did not have any major problems putting this bike together; small issue was putting one of the brakes on straight; however when the son got home he was able to fix it. The bike rides well gears move correctly; good bike for the price. Wrote review after the son took the bike. Sorry.

In this area is already happening and fast. So many fires close to each other and the land is going ro take a while to recover. Projects like re-planting and creat sustainable trail will help. But definitely is going to get worst, is up to us to stop the devastating consequences, but fo now we will keep cutting down trees as much as we need to keep this trails running.
