    Whats up everybody, just getting my first post out of the way.
    Name is Ryan, 32, live in LA. Been riding road bikes for a decade +, used to do triathlons after college. I got into mtb because I like to offroad in my Subie and all the terrain I could not cover in my car was calling my name. Just started riding a fs mtb this year and already have an itch to play around in Enduro races. But that won't be this year need to develop my skills since riding dh is not like any other biking I'm used to.

    My 2016 Giant Trance 3. Entry level, but makes for a fun wish list of things to upgrade. Always gotta have goals and projects in life. (already done dropperpost, 40mm stem, 800mm bars, and tubeless since this pic)
    Hope to run into some of you on the trails sometime.

    P.S.
    Why doesn't this forum work with Taptalk app? Is admin just slow to update, or did imtbtrails jump ship?

    Welcome MrGreedom and let me be the first to say that is an awesome photo. Bunch of good people on this site and lots of riding going on all over So Cal. Check out the ride reports & especially the "I rode my bike today" thread. Just a ways north of you in Castaic but lots of good riding nearby so if you're ever in the area hit me up. As for the Taptalk I have no idea but I can guarantee you won't find a cooler and more active mtb'n admin than the one we have so I'm sure he will clarify.

    Welcome, MrGreedom. Hope to rip some trail with ya sometime. I'm one of the OC faction. Cheers!

    PS: Tapatalk went from okay to unusable in one version jump. I hope IMTBT has nothing to do with it, just so I don't have to see that promo screen here again.

    Hey @MrGreedom !
    Welcome bud! I absolutely guarantee you this is the best friendliest MTB Forum in all of So Cal if not the West Coast (well except for @Redman who just "appears" to be a grouch :laugh:, Ummm, and @doublewide who may be going through his manstral cycle right now, well and then there's... :Roflmao) NAHHHH! Just kidding! These are all awesome and great doods and doodettes. Awesome that you joined us.
    imtbtrails has gained such a large footprint that we are more then just a Southern California Site.
    The only rule we really have is, "You can attack issues all day long but, never attack each other." SO always assume things are said in jest. :thumbsup:

    As far as TapaTalk, we used it on our old software, but when we converted to Xenforo all the flaws began to show. So I dug deep into TapaTalk and found it to be a spyware and a pain in my azz. Since Xenforo is designed to not need TapaTalk, we haven't looked back.

    You will also find features here that other Forum's do not have that are mtb specific, and you will discover them as time goes by.

    So now that I just sounded like some cheesy imtbtrails forum salesman, let the dirt begin!
    Welcome to mountain biking's fantasy island...

    I was a Tapatalk user until I gave the new forum software a chance. Now, I find myself checking it on the phone's browser 47 times per day. It works pretty well...

    And they are SPECTACULAR! :whistling: :oops:

    Uhhh, anyway - Welcome @MrGreedom .Cool bike that should provide much fun!

    This is indeed the best little mt. bike forum in all the land. I'll tell you right off - most of us are (considerably) older than you, but almost none is a stalker with a van selling candy!

    Most of the prolific posters on this site love HUGE rides with big vertical and big distances. I am not one of those, but with your background, it sounds like you might lean that way. I highly recommend keeping up with @mtnbikej :sneaky:.

    Welcome Greedom from the land of sweet trails, yummy breweries and tasty wineries (Murrieta/Temecula). We got it all here, even pro DHers that I get to rub elbows with or as some would insinuate, stalk. :unsure:

    We're a goofy bunch with gentle souls (that was in jest ;)) and a love for mtbing.

    Enjoy the ride ...
