A lot of the time Carston puts the time and energy to scout/build/maintain stuff like this just for some established pro rider to get the pic and get the credit. His shovel work has been in several videos, mags, and websites all over the place. It's about time one of his features surfaced with him riding it!

Carston is one of the true underground heros of the sport. Constantly charging, and always building big new lines, like this monster. He rides as hard as a lot of pros I know in his free time just for fun. Kid has got soul.

I filmed on it with don hampton for the new "here we go again" film being released at sea otter, but I don't think it will make the vid. for some reason this one just doesn't look as good on film as it does in stills. At the top you stall and don't have any momentum. It doesn't create the same effect you think it would on film. But as a side note, see the bush at the top of the shadow of the front wheel. you can get up and over that bush, you just have to be super careful not to pop off the edge. We are woking on building another landing where you can air off of the edge towards the right side of the pic.

sorry, gotta hold on to the dee max wheelset, those things are worth their weight in gold. I'm selling the bmx bike, I also have a Fox 36 Talas uncut/never used. My girl friend is selling a small Santa Cruz Blur LT and her small Mongoose Boot'r DH (virtually never used)
