Brandon Bell is one of three people charged with last week's robbery at Motorcycle Dreamz, a Pitt County motorcycle shop, early Thursday morning.
In court Thursday morning, his next court appearance was set for May 19.

Previous Story
it's day six of a search for an armed robbery suspect who led lawmen on a 38 mile chase last week.
Deputies say Roland Bell wrecked a stolen motorcycle on the Senator J.J. "Monk" Harrington bridge over the Roanoke River last Thursday morning. Construction workers say the man then jumped into the river as lawmen approached the scene.
Bertie County Chief Deputy Greg Atkins says Monday they search around 20 miles downstream for Bell. Authorities say the man either drowned in the river or managed to escape to the shore.
Atkins says Monday was really the first day they thought the body would surface, and those odds increase with each day.
Deputies from Bertie and Pitt counties continue their search today, and they expect state wildlife officers to help again.
Bell, along with his brother and another man, are accused of robbing Motorcycle Dreamz, a Pitt County motorcycle shop, early Thursday morning.
Previous Story
It's another day of searching for an armed robbery and chase suspect who lawmen say jumped into the Roanoke River last Thursday.
Roland Bell was being chased by Pitt County deputies after they say he was involved in an armed robbery at a motorcycle shop early Thursday. Workers say he crashed a stolen motorcycle at a bridge construction site at the Martin-Bertie county line and then jumped into the river as deputies approached the scene.
Bertie County Chief Deputy Greg Atkins says boats went back into the river Monday morning at 8:30 a.m. The search right now centers from the Hamilton boat ramp to the bridge, but Atkins says they might expand it Tuesday if they don't find Bell today.
Previous Story
Crews were back out on the Roanoke River Sunday searching the water for an armed robbery suspect who officials say jumped into the water after a chase Thursday. Officials say there is still no sign of that suspect, Roland Bell.
Deputies say Bell and two other men robbed a Greenville motorcycle shop Friday. Then they say Bell led them on a 38 mile chase until he wrecked the stolen bike on the Highway 11 bridge that was undergoing construction near the Bertie-Martin county line. Construction workers say the man jumped into the river after the accident as lawmen were approaching the bridge.
Officials were using Sonar equipment to try and find Bell Sunday afternoon. They searched from around 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Crews say they will be back out Monday morning to continue searching.
Previous Story
There's still no sign of an armed robbery suspect following an all day search Friday.
Pitt County deputies consider Roland Bell armed and dangerous after they say he led them on a high speed chase which began in Pitt County and ended up at the Martin-Bertie county line when he crashed a motorcycle and jumped in the Roanoke River.
The search was halted Thursday due to bad weather, but resumed Friday morning. A Bertie County rescue boat, a state wildlife boat, along with a Highway Patrol helicopter, spent most of the day searching downstream from the Senator Monk Harrington Bridge. A ground search with deputies from Bertie and Pitt counties was also conducted but so far there are no signs of Bell.
They say Bell and two other men robbed a Greenville motorcycle shop. Employees say Bell used to work at the business.
Deputies say Bell led them on a 38 mile chase until he wrecked the stolen bike on the Highway 11 bridge that was undergoing construction. Construction workers say the man jumped into the river after the accident as lawmen were approaching the bridge.
Bertie County deputies say they may use a boat equipped with sonar on Saturday to search the river.
Bell's brother Brandon is still on the loose. A third suspect, Brandon Montayne, has been arrested.
Previous Story
The search continues for an armed robbery suspect who jumped into the Roanoke River early Thursday morning, after police say he helped rob a motorcycle shop in Greenville and led police on a high speed motorcycle chase.
Tracy Foster lives in a building on Motorcycle Dreamz's property, and watches over the shop. He says early Thursday morning, 3 men busted into his room with guns and threatened him.
"They said if you don't go along with me, something will definitely happen to you - we'll do something to you," said Foster.
Foster and Motorcycle Dreamz employees say the men stole 2 motorcycles, various keys, and a tool box with thousands of dollars worth of tools inside.
The Pitt County Sheriff's Office says the men escaped in a black pick-up truck with an attached trailer. Deputies say they followed the truck, pulled it over and arrested Brandon Montanye of Virginia but say Roland Bell sped away on one of the stolen motorcycles. They say 38 miles later, Bell crashed the motorcycle on a bridge on the Martin-Bertie county line and jumped into the Roanoke River.
Deputies from all three counties are continuing to search for Bell, and say they're not sure whether he managed to make out of the water because of the swift current.
"Search and rescue at this time. And basically collect evidence too - if we received where he maybe made it to a bank and tried to change clothes, or any evidence he may leave behind - he may have a weapon he may try to discard," said Sheriff Neil Elks.
Susan Ghrist works at Motorcycle Dreamz. She says Bell used to work there, and was fired last year.
"Jeff fired him for stealing, and he's been back several times and threatened Jeff that he was going to get revenge on him," said Ghrist.
Sheriff Elks says deputies are working to confirm that, and says Bell - and the other unidentified suspect should be considered armed and dangerous.
Ghrist lives right next door to the motorcycle shop, and says she's worried the robbers will be back.
"For one, we're going to change the locks on the Motorcycle Dreamz and then try to set up some kind of wire with a bell going from here to my mobile home so that if anyone breaks in, it sets off an alarm in my place," said Ghrist.
Deputies say Bell was last seen in the river about 100 yards from the bridge. They say they recovered one of his shoes and his helmet.
They say they believe all three men were heading to Virginia, and say they're not sure where the third suspect is at this time.
Deputies say Montanye is charged with first degree burglary, breaking and entering, and robbery with a dangerous weapon. They say Bell and the other suspect will likely face the same charges, and say Bell will also face other traffic charges.
Previous Story
The Pitt County Sheriffs Office says crews plan to resume searching
a section of the Roanoke River at the Bertie-Martin County line later today after the man they were chasing at high speeds jumped off the bridge to the water below.
The Pitt County Sheriff's Office says they are searching the river for Roland Bell. Search crews have recovered the helmet Bell was wearing. They say construction workers on the Highway 11 bridge saw Bell jump into the river, after he crashed into a wheelbarrow in the construction zone on the bridge.
Lawmen believe Bell is one of three men who robbed Motorcycle Dreamz on Highway 43 near Greenville overnight. Deputies say the owner of the bike shop lives on site. When he confronted the intruders, they pulled a gun and stole two motorcycles, various tools and a toolbox with thousands of dollars inside.
Officials received a call of an armed robbery at the bike shop 1:30 a.m. The suspects escaped in a black, low-ride pick-up truck with an attached trailer.
At 2:30 a.m. a deputy near North Campus Crossing spotted the truck. He pulled over the truck and arrested the driver, Brandon Montanye of Virginia.
Click the photo tab above to see Montanye's mug shot.
Lawmen say Bell was on a stolen motorcycle and deputies started chasing Bell near DSM Pharmaceuticals in Greenville, and the chase moved north on Highway 11 at speeds topping 100 miles per hour at times. The chase continued for 38 miles before Bell crashed at the bridge.
Bell was last seen swimming in the water below, about 100 yards from the bridge. The Hamilton Fire Department used two boats to search for Bell, but called off that search just after 5 a.m. They planned to return later in the day.
Another suspect in the robbery at Motorcycle Dreamz remains at large and has not been identified by deputies, with the possibility of a fourth. Officials say lawmen are actively searching for them.
It appears the suspects were headed to Virginia after robbing the bike shop, officials said.
Traditionally, searches for people in the Roanoke River have proved difficult, even for highly-trained dive teams. In 2009, when the Bertie County Sheriff's Office was searching the river after finding a floating car near Windsor, a dive team from South Carolina had to abort the search. It took another dive team, from Norfolk, VA, to complete it.
"It's not a river you would want to fall into," said Jean Richter, a biologist with the Roanoke River National Wildlife Refuge.
Richter says the water is at least 20 feet deep at the bridge where Bell jumped into the water, and she estimates it's a 20 - 25 foot drop from the bridge to the river.
Surviving the drop into the Roanoke River is one thing, but Richter says the real danger lies beneath. The river floor is covered with woody debris that could easily entangle or injure someone in the water, especially in the dark of night. The banks of the Roanoke River are lined with trees that are underwater that can also prove dangerous trying to get out of the water.
The pace of the Roanoke River is not particularly swift for what the river is capable of, Richter says. Today, it's moving at a rate of 9,000 cubic feet/second.
"It's a river that definitely needs to be respected," Richter said.

Last week GamePolitics tracked the story of Wafaa Bilal, an artist whose Virtual Jihadi exhibit at Rensselaer Polytechnical Institute was cut short following protests from some students and alumni, as well as a visit from the FBI.
In the wake of the campus flap, Inside Higher Ed reports that some RPI faculty members were outraged by school president Shirley Jackson's decision to abruptly cancel Bilal's visit. Art professor Branda Miller, from whose classroom Bilal was pulled by college officials, said:
This isn't just shutting down an exhibit. This is an assault on my classroom, an assault on academic freedom and freedom of expression.
I thought, 'this must be what it feels like to be in Iraq.' A moment of compassion crossed my mind. I was imagining professors attempting to teach their students in countries where academic freedom does not exist, where even their lives are at risk.
I think this is a very complex discussion.He's an artist. He's very intelligent, very serious, very kind. He is trying to make a point. My students play these games. Some of these games are embedded with violence and racism and the ability to dislocate your sense of self when you kill someone. [Bilal was trying] to get people to think about the games.

Django Unchained (2012)
Django Unchained SynopsisSet in the South two years before the Civil War, Django Unchained stars Academy Award®-winner Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Academy Award®-winner Christoph Waltz). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles - dead or alive.
Success leads Schultz to free Django, though the two men choose not to go their separate ways. Instead, Schultz seeks out the South's most wanted criminals with Django by his side. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago.
Django andSchultz's search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie (Academy Award®-nominee Leonardo DiCaprio), the proprietor of "Candyland," an infamous plantation where slaves are groomed by trainer Ace Woody (Kurt Russell) to battle each other for sport. Exploring the compound under false pretenses, Django and Schultz arouse the suspicion of Stephen (Academy Award®-nominee Samuel L. Jackson), Candie's trusted house slave. Their moves are marked, and a treacherous organization closes in on them. If Django and Schultz are to escape with Broomhilda, they must choose between independence and solidarity, between sacrifice and survival...
Written and directed by Academy Award®-winner Quentin Tarantino, Django Unchained is produced by Stacey Sher, Reginald Hudlin and Pilar Savone. The executive producers are Harvey and Bob Weinstein, Michael Shamberg, Shannon McIntosh, and James Skotchdopole. Django Unchained will be released in the U.S. on December 25, 2012, and internationally by Sony Pictures.

Training Day Director Criticizes Spike Lee For Feuding With Quentin Tarantino
Already Lee's assumed the movie is "disrespectful" to his ancestors, but another notable African-American filmmaker, Antoine Fuqua, suggests it is Lee who is being disrespectful here. While at Capri's Hollywood Film Festival, the helmer best known for the Oscar-winning Denzel Washington vehicle Training Day criticized Lee's public boycott and Twitter rant...

Quentin Tarantino Talks The Music Of Django Unchained In New Soundtrack Commentary
The movies that Quentin Tarantino writes and directs are special in their own right, but typically just as special are his soundtracks. Rather than going the typical route, hiring a composer to create a score and/or an artist to write some original music, throughout his career Tarantino has instead opted to only use pre-written music that he feels meshes well with the material he has created.

For most of us, there is only the unattended
Moment, the moment in and out of time,
The distraction fit, lost in a shaft of sunlight,
The wild thyme unseen, or the winter lightning
Or the waterfall, or music heard so deeply
That it is not heard at all, but you are the music
While the music lasts.
T.S. Eliot
Yamdrok Tso Lake, Lhasa, Tibet
What are the scenes of nature that elevate the mind
and produce the sublime sensation?
…the hoary mountain, the solitary lake,
the aged forest and torrent falling over rocks.
– Hugh Blair, lecture notes from 1783.
Whereas the beautiful is limited, the sublime is limitless,
so that the mind in the presence of the sublime,
attempting to imagine what it cannot, has pain in the
failure but pleasure in contemplating the
immensity of the attempt.
– Immanuel Kant, Critique of Pure Reason
and, departing, leave behind us, footprints on the sands of time.
– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Preah Khan Temple, Angkor Wat, Camboida
Thrissur Pooram, Kerala, India
Greatly begin.
Though thou have time, but for a line, be that sublime.
Not failure, but low aim is crime.
-James Russell Lowell
Four sublime states of mind taught by the Buddha:
Sympathetic Joy
Taj Mahal, Agra, India
Built with translucent white marble and inlaid with gems from China, Tibet, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, and the Arabian peninsula
The Taj Mahal in Agra, India, and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain,
are two of the world's most iconic buildings.
They both evoke passionate emotions, even love, despite being
on opposite ends of the historical and architectural spectrum.
Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao, Spain
Constructed with a steel frame covered with titanium sheathing
In both buildings shape, size, scale, proportion, texture, color,
and light work together to sublime effect.
To look on nature, not as in the hour
Of thoughtless youth; but hearing oftentimes
The still, sad music of humanity,
Nor harsh nor grating, though of ample power
To chasten and subdue. And I have felt
A presence that disturbs me with the joy
Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime
Of something far more deeply interfused,
Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,
And the round ocean and the living air,
And the blue sky, and in the mind of man;
A motion and a spirit, that impels
All thinking things, all objects of all thought,
And rolls through all things.
– William Wordsworth

BLAINE, Minn. - Every once in awhile, parents need to sit down and get a lesson from their children. Sometimes it's a lesson in humility, but if you're a parent of a teen, you might want to get a little lesson in technology.
"It's kind of a hot new app and it's mostly used by teenagers and college students so far," Shayla Thiel-Stern, a professor of social media at the University of Minnesota, explained.
KARE 11 sat down with three teens from Blaine to learn more about the technology, which allows users to send so-called "self-destructing" pictures or videos.
"It's pretty much like texting," Casey McCarty explained.
"The second you send it, it shows up on the other person's phone and they can view it right away," Casey's buddy Alec Olson said.
You can set how long the message lasts before the Snapchat message self-destructs. You can also draw on the pictures, which is a big part of the appeal.
"It is a novelty, you use it because people use it with you," Devin Pendergast, the third tech-savvy teen we talked with, explained.
There is a notion that the message disappears forever after it self-destructs. The trio of friends we talked to say users can capture a screen grab of a picture easily. In fact, Snapchat sends the message sender a note when the picture is grabbed. Another way to keep that message alive is by shooting it off the phone screen with another phone or camera before it disappears.
"It's not poof forever gone. There are ways of retrieving it," Thiel-Stern said.
"Everything is permanent on the internet. Everything you do leaves an indelible mark," Jake DeWoskin, an IT Security Expert with KDV Technology and Consulting, told KARE 11. He says even if you don't screen grab or "shoot the message" with a different device, there are ways to recover it.
"It's not particularly high tech. People who have copied data on and off their mobile phones are already using the same process that could be used to pull a video or pull an image off of a phone," DeWoskin explained.
And while the recipient can possibly retrieve or recall the "self-destructing" message, the sender cannot.
"Once you hit send, you have lost control of that image forever. You cannot recall it. You cannot ask for it back," DeWoskin warns.
Thiel-Stern has written volumes on how the current adolescent generation uses social media. She says she understands the appeal of Snapchat. "You get the feeling at least that you're leaving less of a digital footprint," she said.
While Facebook and Twitter allow information to be shared in online communities or forums, Snapchat allows users, again mostly teens and young adults, to communicate one on one.
"You don't have the watchful eyes of parents and others looking at what they're doing on Snapchat and that's the attraction. In this case it seems like a huge disconnect so far. Parents are really tuned into Facebook right now," she noted.
The professor has also followed the media buzz surrounding the popular app.
"The moral panic that's going on right now is that it's all about sexting and I actually think that's overblown and I think once somebody does a study on it, I personally believe this is going to be an overblown fear," Thiel-Stern said.
Some parents haven't heard of the app, others are banning it while other parents are monitoring it. "A lot of potential issues can be overcome simply through conversation with your kids," Thiel-Stern concluded. "Certainly talk to your children and understand if they're using it, how they're using it, why they're using," DeWoskin added.
Snapchat's owners did not respond to KARE 11's request for comment, but they did respond to NBC, writing, in part: "We built Snapchat to give people a fun, expressive and authentic way to have conversations. We've been blown away by the enthusiasm for the app from people of all ages."
The teens we talked with use the app the way it was intended, as a way to connect and goof around a little bit. Their parents have chatted with them about social media. Casey McCarty's plugged-in dad told him "everything is still traceable so don't do anything stupid."
Is Snapchat a new social media staple or will it "self-destruct" in the teen's 10-second tech window?
"I just kind of got a little bored with it. The novelty kind of wore off," teen Alec Olson said.
While apps may come and go, messages sent over smart phones and the internet stick around, whether you know it or not.

At least in person from the cheap seats, that looked like one of the best dunks I've seen. He was in the air for a LONG time.
I literally turned my clonezone on a min before his dunk. Best dunk since rashons dunk over aldrich a couple years ago
clonezone might a replay available. Otherwise, I don't believe there was any TV.
ISU Grad 1997.
ISU Fan for Life.
Not in CO anymore but I'm not changing my name :)
It was one of the top dunks I have ever seen.
It's on youtube. I would post a link but can't - youtube is blocked at work, but I just got a facebook link to it.

Oops... I guess I'm a step slow.
I laughed cause he got so high you couldn't even see who he dunked over until the camera went down and you see the poor fellow with that look on his face.
Fanatic #25
The camera angle doesn't do it justice since you can't see the floor as well. He took off a long ways out and you really can't see the defender get posterized.
I wish they had the angle that the live action had...from behind a bit.

Whoa!! What are YOU talking about here?
One thing I liked about it as that he didn't feel the need to get up and talk trash to the dude, or even celebrate at all. It was just business as usual. Man, this guy was quite a pick-up!
Off topic from Marquis' dunk but I found this one of JHam from last year at Tejas.

Everyone wants their skin to look its youngest and freshest, but determining how to achieve your skin care goals can be difficult. Exfoliation assists with the body's natural skin cell turnover process by eliminating older skin cells and allowing them to be replaced by newer, healthier ones.

The Dr. Dennis Gross Exfoliators collection offers highly effective, but safe exfoliation for people of all skin types.

MADISON, Maine (AP) — Police in Maine say a man with a realistic-looking tattoo of a gun on his stomach had the real thing tucked into his waistband when he was arrested.
Police tell the Morning Sentinel that 41-year-old Michael Smith, of Norridgewock, showed up at a sheriff's deputy's home Thursday night. Police say he was crying and had been drinking.
Authorities say Smith told police he had a fight with his ex-girlfriend and had stolen prescription narcotics from her.
Today's Morning Sentinel front page, Saturday, June 14, 2014 pic.twitter.com/Cv2UtgjXWb
— Morning Sentinel (@OnlineSentinel) June 14, 2014
He was charged with stealing drugs, and the gun was confiscated. He was released from jail on $1,000 bail. His phone has been disconnected.
Smith made headlines in March when members of a tree removal crew reported that he had a gun. But the gun turned out to be his tattoo.

An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a small battery-operated device. It is placed in the chest to monitors the heart's rhythm. If the heart begins to beat in a disorganized way, the device provides a shock. The shock is given to restore a normal rhythm. Automatic cardioverter defibrillator implantation is the surgical insertion of an (ICD).
These days, ICD's often combine the function of a pacemaker and an external defibrillator. A pacemaker also monitors the heart rhythm. It helps the heart get back to a normal rhythm if it beats too slow or too fast.
Surgical implantation of an internal cardiac device is a common procedure that is performed in many hospitals throughout the United States.

"U.P." Author R.A. Riekki to Visit North Wind Books
HANCOCK, MI - Ronald "R.A." Riekki, author of "U.P.", the best-selling novel published in 2008 by Ghost Road Press, will discuss and sign copies of his book Tuesday, September 14, 4:00 to 5:00 p.m.
With Reikki will be actor and producer Steven Wiig ("Into The Wild", "Milk"). Wiig is planning to shoot a movie in Michigan's Upper Peninsula based on Riekki's book.
Set in Marquette County in 1989, the novel is a complex tale of friendship and brutality. "U.P." is the story of four teens immersed in an ugly world, one whose threat of violence is always simmering beneath the surface.
"R.A. Riekki s distinctive characters and their poignant quest for freedom is a swan song to lost youth, redefining the traditional coming-of-age-story," says a description of book at amazon.com.
In the novel, four boys tell four distinct narratives that converge into a harrowing and heartbreaking whole.
Riekki and Wiig, both Negaunee, Mich., natives, attended Northern Michigan University. They are making appearances throughout the Upper Peninsula to spread the word about the book and movie in a grass roots campaign to give readings and gather support. They are also scouting filming locations during their U.P. travels.
Their promotional tour is being documented on Facebook at facebook.com/u.p.movie.
Both the novel and "U.P." merchandise will be available for purchase at each event.
Riekki has an M.F.A. in Theater Arts/Playwriting from Brandies University, an M.F.A. in Creative Writing/Fiction from the University of Virginia, and a Ph.D. in Literature and Creative Writing from Western Michigan University. His work has been published widely, and he has been awarded several writing and journalism awards.
North Wind Books is located in downtown Hancock, Michigan, at 435 Quincy St. For additional information about the book signing, please contact North Wind Books at 906-487-7217.

Santa Cruz Bicycles 5010 R AM Complete Mountain Bike $0.00
As aficionados of all things dirt, we've been inundated with endless acronyms and marketing-driven product specialization. However, what most of us really want is a mountain bike for mountain biking, which is why we're so excited about the Santa Cruz 5010 R AM Complete Mountain Bike. With its 27.5-inch wheels, proven FOX suspension and reliable Shimano build kit, this version of the 5010 platform is built for the trails, plain and simple. And while it lacks a bit of the flash of its carbon fiber counterpart, the aluminum framed version is ready for seasons of action. It's the perfect companion for those who ride hard, instead of just talking about it.
While there's no denying the drool-factor of the carbon fiber 5010, aluminum remains the material of choice for the value-conscious among us. Luckily for you, Santa Cruz's decades of experience with the material are on full display. Through thoughtful selection of butted tubing, and artfully minimized machined bits, the 5010's frame is kept to a very reasonable 6.8 pounds for a medium frame with a rear shock. And while it sacrifices roughly a pound and a half to its carbon fiber counterpart, it stacks up admirably both in terms of strength and stiffness. That's thanks in part to the oversize 15mm collet-style hardware, which is further aided by the 12x142mm through axle out back.
With a bike this versatile, it's important to have a suspension platform that pedals as well as it descends. And with the latest version of VPP handling the terrain, that's not a concern. It uses two counter-rotating links to achieve an optimal balance of firm pedaling and a smooth ride. Basically, the beginning stroke is controlled by the upper link, which starts the stroke in a high-leverage position for a supple ride over stutter bumps. As the suspension settles into the sag point, the lower link takes over control of the suspension, enabling the rear wheel to travel backwards, out of the way of impacts. The upshot to all of this is when the suspension is at the resting sag point, it harnesses your pedaling forces to neutralize suspension movement, giving you a firm, efficient feel at the pedals. So, whether you're climbing for two hours at a time, or rallying aggressive descents, your suspension works with you, not against you.
The mid-sized 27.5-inch wheels found on the 5010 have been surrounded by a whirlwind of attention as of late, and with good reason. The geometry of 26-inch bikes has become thoroughly refined over the past few years, but many riders find that the improved rolling characteristics of a 29-inch wheel make them an appealing alternative. However, stuffing a 29- inch wheel into a frame with moderate travel can produce some undesirable side effects, most notably long, unwieldy chainstays. By designing the 5010 around 27.5-inch wheels, Santa Cruz has harnessed the improved rolling ability of larger wheels, while dropping nearly three quarters of an inch off the chainstay length of the Tallboy. And that translates into faster turns and a more responsive ride. The chainstays grow roughly a quarter inch as compared to the Blur TR, allowing it to maintain the snappy handling of its smaller wheeled sibling. And like the Blur TR, the head angle remains at 68 degrees. What that means for you is that the steering feel is nearly identical to the notoriously fun TR. Instead of thinking of the 5010 as a downsized Tallboy, consider it a beefed up Blur TR that retains the flickability, and adds a heaping spoonful of out-and-out speed to the equation.
While the R AM build is the value-oriented package in the lineup, Santa Cruz made sure to spec it with components that are up to the task in every regard. FOX handles the suspension duties, with a FOX FLOAT CTD Evolution series rear shock, and a 32 FIT CTD Evolution series fork. Both feature FOX's CTD adjustment scheme, which makes dialing in your suspension settings a breeze. The fork employs FOX's FIT sealed damper, for consistent damper performance, even on the longest descents. And while both units forgo the gold-colored Kashima coating, in our experience, the difference in suspension feel is somewhere between negligible and non-existent. The drivetrain is a Shimano affair, blending Deore level cranks and front derailleur with SLX shifters and Shadow Plus rear derailleur. The resulting drivetrain has a proven track record for durability, and the Shadow Plus clutch technology replaces the chain slap of yesteryear with blissful silence, even on rocky terrain. The brakes are Shimano's excellent Deore model, which are renowned for their reliability and fantastic stopping power. The cockpit is comprised of Raceface Ride components, and the seating is taken care of by a WTB Volt. Rounding out the package is a set of tubeless-compatible WTB i23 rims laced with DT spokes to SRAM hubs. And they're wrapped in Maxxis High Roller II tubeless compatible tires, which roll fast and provide tons of grip even on the hairiest terrain you'll encounter.
The Santa Cruz 5010 R AM Complete Mountain Bike is available in four sizes from Small to X-Large, and in the colors Orange/blue, and White/grey.

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I was a little worried about buying a bike online. Especially one that costs more than my truck. But, I am soooo glad that I did.
I live in New England, where there is great singletrack that happens to be covered in rocks, roots, and mud. This bike has helped me clear some really techy sections that I couldn't on my old bike. The VPP seems to take a lot of the pedal bob out without affecting downhill performance at all (this coming from a single pivot). I think the bike is a decent weight stock. Though, I have done some mods to lighten it up a bit.
Best part about this bike is that it absolutely rails. Feels so flickable and easy to turn, even in really tight stuff. Some have complained about bb being too low and getting a lot of pedal strikes. I do get those every now and again, but if I can ride this in new england, it's probably not a huge issue. Only downside? I'll echo others about the fox fork. It goes through it's travel pretty easily... For my purposes (EC trails), it's fine. But, if I was hitting big jumps, I'd probably want something more..

How much does this wheel set weigh?
I don't have an exact weight on this wheelset, but the i23 rims and SRAM hubs is a more basic OE wheel offering. I would ballpark the weight of those wheels in the 1900g range. If you ave any further questions, my direct line is 801-736-6396 x4378.

Hi. Your page states that you will have the SC 5010 alu Orange Large soon and will be shipped within 2 week. Is that for real? I just got at email from Santa Cruz that they won't have any Orange 5010 in store before 15/3. If you get any I will gladly put an order :)
Kind regards
According to our purchase order with Santa Cruz, we should be expecting to receive that color and size in stock in approximately 2 weeks. If you were interested in setting up a preorder for the bike to reserve one that we will be getting in, please feel free to contact our customer service department at 888-276-7130.
