diuuude nice! i still need to hit the fat step down at z's, havent been up in a while tho cuz my knee was fucked. anyways tho, im tryin to build some little stuff on campus so hopefully youll be seein that soon. couldnt do much work today tho, shovel broke :P

eh, get one if just for the purposes of being able to communicate in regards to riding... it makes stuff alot easier.

@mellonhead1145, i know this, but you can get partial sponsorships, and truvativ and avid are just parts of sram. eg: minaar ran crank bros pedals, wtb saddles, king hubs and headsets and enve rims. plenty of overlap btwn these companies yet they pick and chose what sponsorships they wanted. i feel like syndicate is 'small' enough to be able to pick and choose, but not as large as other company's teams such as trek which get convenient and large scale sponsorships or tiny, less sought out, teams which need to root out sponsorships and dont get many at that. just my thought on the matter though, makes sense but dont take my word for it

if i could pick i would say fox suspension, sram+truvativ` q1+mrp drivetrain, avid brakes, maxxis tyres, hope headset/BB/hubs, DT rims, ODI grips, chromag cockpit and straitline pedals...now THOSE would be some nice sponsorships...
