went to falls this past weekend. had the first ride on the new shore I with the Totem. This fork is AWESOME! feels as stiff as the monster t i've ridden on with better damping that any of the 888's or 66's i've ridden. only little goocher with this fork was that it was losing a bit of the travel...only getting like 140-150mm of travel instead of the alleged 180. expensive xc fork i guess? actually rock shox is going to be fixing it free of charge. apparently they had a problem with the manufacturing of the stansions, small scratch or flaw causes air to get by a seal every time the fork cycles. can't wait to get it back. i guess i have to slum it for a couple weeks on the demo 8 till the totem gets back! On this same ride, mormon craig killed his back wheel on the causey canyon jump just a few minutes after he crashed off the wall ride. not the greatest day for craig. everybody else was having an awesome ride, jake hit most of dual slalom, darren liked the new black bottle rocket and jon and ryan were their normal selves hitting all jumps. can't wait to get back out there!
