Hippie Tech Suspension and Crankskins at Sea Otter!
I've ridden so many different suspension configs throughout the years and hands down, second to none are the forks/shocks from Hippie Tech Suspension. The guy is a genius, and he treats your shocks with the same love he'd show his own. I don't know how he does it, but his suspension is just pure euphoria to ride-not to mention how freakishly light his stuff is. Sending your suspension to HTS is like sending them to fat camp. I put thousands of miles on Hippie Tech Suspension the past couple seasons and it's plain and simple the greatest around. It's hard to describe, you'd have to ride it to understand because I don't have the time or the resources to even begin to try and describe it.
I was so stoked to come across this article right on the home page of MTBR tonight! It was also pretty cool to see Hippy representing Crankskins in the article's photo.

Specialized Stumpjumper 29er
OH YOUR GOSH! I can't even begin to put this rig into words. It fits me like a glove, and just wants to take off when you straddle it. It's a 2011 Specialized Stumpjumer 29er. Many thanks go out to Crankskins for coming through so huge ("huge Rochester huge!"), and of course to Advance Cyclery for the frame.
Anyways...I just spun around casually today to get my cockpit configured and I can't wait to actually rip on it tomorrow. What a ridiculous rig! I'm so stoked. I need to get the legs ready because between the two of us i'm the slow one for sure. I made the switch to Egg Beaters too, which are going to take some practice when it comes to clipping in, but judging by the way they feel once engaged I am really looking forward to them. Ej had some sweet Crankskins for it too. Check them out in the photo below. I wrapped the frame with all sorts of his transparent protection so it should be Tom proof...we'll see. Other then trimming the super long hydro hose it's all but ready to roll.
