Sweet....
I would definitely change out the tires, other than that it's great how it is.
I bet it rides great also.
Another upgrade you might want to consider is a chainguide, but that's all personal preference.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That would prolly be a
good idea since you want
the foes as a race bike.

Those tires are fine. I am running them right now on my bighit. They have great traction, and are great at N* Never had any problems, no pinchflats and no other bull**** like I have had from other tires. I run mine at about 30 or 35psi. Don't replace them until you need to. They are nice tires.
oh yea, nice bike you got there I might add.

really fuucking rocky!
don't take any double blacks on the first couple runs, especially boondocks. I think boondocks is one of the funnest trails there, but probably the hardest.

You're goin on your hardtail? That's goin to be rough man, but as long as you stay off the trails that are all rock gardens you should be ok. I saw a few guys up there on hardtails when I went though.

Don't listen to him, you will be fine there, as long as you warm up on easier trails and work your way up. Your rhyno lites wil be a different story...
Northstar is rough no matter what bike you ride.

cyclepaths would be the best place, but i would try your ht first. There isnt anything you cant handle there with some practice.
