Not sure if you will be able to find the Medusa since that was last year's design. Here is a link I found - http://www.racespec.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_copy_of_2011_Troy_Lee_Designs_D3_Medusa_Carbon_Helmet.html

 yep, D3 carbon

 Yep, still have my M9-FRO. Just have not had it out yet this year . . . Soon . . . very soon!

 all the better to be seen with!

 set at 0 degree, so 64 degree.

 Never pedalled the v10c... in fact my first choice was the v10c, but santa cruz jerked me around for 5 months on a small frame and gave up. so went with plan "B" ... the M9... did get to see a small v10c built recently and impressed by the weight (or lack there of)... so cloud like! as for the M9 ... still dialing in the rear suspension.... have it set at 9" right now.. still seems a little too stiff even at high speeds... fork seems set a perfect setting though... all so much to get used to compared to my old VP-Free... the longer wheel base and slighly lower bottom bracket is a little odd... but learning to love it! can't wait for the next race... win or lose!

 the M9 is a beast! need to dial in the rear suspension a little... feels a little too hard... fork feels GREAT! now I just need to ride faster!

 liking the leatt! honestly I don't even know I'm wearing it when riding.... only when I'm in the lift line and I try to turn my head to talk to a fellow rider. hahahaha! seriously... out of all the upgrades this year... getting a leatt was the most wise thing to do! every dh'er should have one!

 do they come in orange? wanted to get a set to match up with my easton havoc stem, but dont think easton makes pedals in that same orange. ok... there is some vanity in DH mountain biking... lol

 cant wait to see the complete build!!! WOOHOO!!!!

 cant remember what it was in this picture (64 degree +/- .5/1.0/1.5). Had it adjusted to -1, so now it's at 63 degrees I think... idk... I let my fiance do all the tinkering... I'll ask him... I'm clueless (obviously)...

 and the longer wheel base and slightly lower bottom bracket is a little odd to get used to... but love how it eats up the rocks at higher speeds... and I still have only tried it at the 9 inch setting. still have another 0.5 inch to play with. as for racing, I'm going to try to do the entire Gravity East Series. Just did snowshoe this past weekend and did TERRIBLE. My second time racing away from my home park. Nerves got the best of me again. hoping that racing at different terrains boosts my riding a little. need to expand my horizons! good luck at crank worx! EAT IT UP!!!

 The faster it goes, the better it works! I'm trying to go faster. Feels like landing on a big couch on bigger jumps and drops. loving it!

 rides like a couch!

 D3 is so freaking light. Everything (except neck brace) is getting tested out today. Can't wait!!!

 Have crank bros 50/50 pedals. Won them last year. Grippy but pins loosen too easily. Had to apply more lock tight on them.

 Please don’t pinch me in case Im still dreaming. I don't want to wake up!

 Thanks! Tested a few times off our little 3 foot drop. Feels like a couch compared to my vp-free. Gonna get tested right tomorrow at my local park. I feel like a kid on christmas eve!!!

 That is a wtb syndicate silverado saddle... funny thing is I had it on order when I thought I was getting a v10c. Santa cruz jerked my around too much, so went with the m9 fro. Going to switch it up for the black wtb silverado.

 The 2012 Fox 40 finally came in Friday, so it has been a work in progress ever since. So hoping to have it by this weekend in time for my local bike park's opening. Will post the pics as soon as she's flight ready.

 The verdict is in . . . I'm getting the Leatt DBX Pro . . . my wallet is NOT happy . . . better be worth it!

 Thanks! My mom loves her "grand pups"!

 So true! the "shit mobile" is just my A-to-B bike and person transporter . . . 11 years and counting . . .

 Not shopped... real... this is one of 3 color options SE offers for their Lager bikes - black/purple - white/white - gray/blue . . . online I was most impressed by the grey/blue . . . in person, the black/purple defiantly "popped" more than the "gray/blue" . . . did not see the "white/white" version. So far this bike has been good to me. Put 200+ miles on it in about 3 weeks. Wrecked it for the first time today... still worked great!

 Cheapest bike I own and paid well below MSRP. Definitely has the "bling" look to it. =)

 ...and I have not gotten the balls enough to try the fixie option yet... for some reason... fixie... just... scares... me... o.O
