SRAM / RS / Avid / Truvativ Components: (what you ride and any comments)

I have an Argyle on my dirt jump bike, best part is its easy to adjust how I like it. Lyric on my slopestyle/freeride bike, this is my favorite RS fork; it feels amazing on jumps and is still sick on bumps. Boxxer World Cup on my DH bike, I tried another fork on DH for a day one time and I wish I could have that day of riding back with a boxxer. There is nothing that compares to it. I have Juicy, Codes and Elixir brakes…I am spoiled they are the best. The XO shifter and derailleur is a perfect match. I am so stoked to ride Sram products.

Started Cycling: In high school I had a good friend who rode bmx, so I started riding with him but on my mountain bike. All through high school we built some sick trails in his backyard, I crashed into so much poison ivy there.
