Currently i am making a small freeride track. A section of the track is quite narrow and slopes away steeply on either side. This section is downhill. At the end of this part there is a quick turn. However becasue the track is narrow there is no place for dirt and rock berms. There is a few big...

Ever since i was a little tyke i have always had in my eyes a dream bike, i have to say my opinion has changed a bit over the years. However i thought it would be fun to find out what everyones dream bike is. It doesnt have to be the best bike out there, but just what you would really like to...
