Anyone else ride BMX or MTB?
Or is it just me?
Been riding MTB street and Dirt for a couple years now. Recently mastered the Fufanu after spending the past couple months on them. Photo album of my good friend, Ken: http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/?op=li...ouserid=109905 Only 15 and he's riding with the local pro's. My bike as it is at the moment: http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/471655/ |

I do some Dirt Jumping and used to do some Down hilling. Now I use my bike for transportation more than jumping and what not

I used to bike all the time. I haven't been biking recently because the friends I used to bike with don't really bike that much anymore and they usually trail ride when they do bike which I hate. I used to be decent at dirt jumping and "urban" crap. I've got a 2001 Big Hit with FSR linkage with a 2003 Boxxer Race and 2003 Vanilla RC. I've also got a 2005 Kona Stuff which I bought to dirt jumping. I'd really like to start biking some more.

get those crappy dmr wingbars off your bike! get a set of Renthal MX bars, single wall version that fits in bmx stems or mtb ones with spacers, suzuki gasgas trials model, 4.25" risers. cut them down to 28-29" wide and they are 3.75" rise, 16 degree sweep and 8 degree upsweep (azonics are 8 and 4, for comparison) reduce all trail vibrations
then think about removing that dodgy fork, get at least a DJ2 on there, that one is as strong as the Z1-Wedge was. and a little trick for singlespeeding. get a medium sized bmx chain so it stays on like that, otherwise refit your mech hangar and then ziptie a mech up towards the chainring so that it just controls the chain a touch. jumping like that leeds to major slips! i lost my chain from time to time and i'm only commuting and those V8's are just begging for some terrorpins in them, but might be too late to get the original ones out now! don't forget your shinguards, mind! google "yahoo group yorkthrash" and you'll find some years of history of my riding |

I do downhilling at a local place, I acually fell off ast week and scraped all the skin on my palm off, was killing me. Poor poor me, I only have a hardtail because Full Suspension is to expensive for me at the minute. When I win the lottery I'l get one

DJ3' arent bad. Bit heavy mind, thinking of putting something a little lighter on. As for the chain, its since been removed. Ive put a BMX chain on instead.

Got myself a lovely Kona Stab Supreme with 888RCs. Its cool to see so many other gamers that ride. ![]() I have a very keen photographer friend that follows me, he is bloody fantastic. Laurie |
