My dad is 48 and broke his collar bone riding 2 years ago. Tore a ligament in his finger later that year and needed surgey and he still rides. Only thing that stopped him racing at Del Rio was a crash in practice the left him not walking for a few days. My mum rides dh too. She is 51. She hasn't...
We keep bringing up DH because it has very few (if any) roots in BMX. Where as 4x is just BMX with bigger wheels and we run suspension. So naturally when we are called soft at our own sport we will bring up our own sport, not so much a sport we have taken our own spin on. Just my opinion.

I didn't mean noise would slow you down, but some people find it a put off to buying one. My friend was turned off oranges because of the noise. Weird. As a siad, you don't notice it when you ride.

Even though i bitch about my 224 i really do love it. It is light and nimble and handles really well. Tad on the noisy side but you don't notice it when you ride. All up it is a great ride especially if you are smooth and don't plow. I have not ridden a morewood on a dh track...

Took you a while to hit it Pete, big softy. I sense Gregoire is in builder Nirvana right now. Road gap looks sweet.

Thanks Dave.
I am up for a ride most of the time. My friend and I are regulars to Timbrel park, Rodd Point And Five Dock Park. So we will probably see you down there.
At last I have my baby with its new paint job and forks. It's now nice and light and pedals like a dream.

Tyres
If your going to be racing 4x a Lopes Bling bling on the front and a Larsen on the rear.Its a good combo because you get the low rolling resistance of both tyres and the good side grip of the Bling Bling.
Cranks
I have had a 2 sets of hone cranks there extremly light but they are a tadon the weak side(i bent both sets). There good cranks the hone's but they don't take much abuse. If your going to get some Shimano cranks get some saints.
