    Dirt Jump Frames with 142 x 12mm Sliding Axle?

    IIRC one model of Transition Bank came as 142x12, if you can find one.. The Morpheus Vimana is a 12mm axle, but doesn't specify if 142 or 135.

    shin/knee pads?

    IME 5.10s are shit and have caused me more issues than not. The sole on the ones i have is very, very stiff. So stiff that I can't actually bend it which causes my foot to bounce around on the pedals--a lot. Flats vs clips aside... The most comfortable knee/shin combo i've ever worn was...

    Street rides - improvisation/inspiration/interpretation

    everyone i ride with is better than i am :P They don't know how to coach tho, so i get the same old 'just jump across and do it', 'just pedal backwards', 'just go faster'... or 'I don't know, i just do it'. I can't grind or hop up a curb sidways to save my life...but hopping across a flat...

    Street rides - improvisation/inspiration/interpretation

    Finally got around to watching this. Ulg, i can't stand little kids. And I find so many tutes like this to be bad. This kid obviously couldn't tell someone why they're having problems with anything, he wouldn't know or understand, and couldn't tell you how to fix it. Usually people who do...

    Street rides - improvisation/inspiration/interpretation

    Monster park was about 10 mins ride from my house... :/ but they don't seem to be rebuilding. There's only like 1 other resi in the Syd area. Lame! I've seen the gmbn vid. I was wanting first hand opinions tho. Really good riders usually forget that stuff they think it's easy is still a...

    I have one :) It's ok, but I prefer the Circus. I just don't get that same rebound effect as a low pressure air fork.

    Street rides - improvisation/inspiration/interpretation

    All circuses have a coil in them. :) They are stock at firm or extra firm, which is my biggest issue. I run no air, and on a totally flat landing I might use 60mm of travel. Generally I'll get maybe 40mm out of them, they're only an 80mm fork. I have the expert tho, from like 2012 or so ?

    Husband is goofy. He rides LFF, but is right handed. Does all his "tricks" as tho he was RFF. He can spin and grind both ways tho, fucker.. :yell: Looks like we'll get out this weekend, so I'll try something. Maybe get a pic or whatever so we can all have a good laugh. :) The DJ1 looks...

    Street rides - improvisation/inspiration/interpretation

    Are you goofy ? I can't push the bike towards my back foot side. Been wrapped up in art projects lately and haven't even thought about riding but i did look up a how to table top today again. I reckon it's a bit beyond me atm.

    Street rides - improvisation/inspiration/interpretation

    I can do tweaks and bar turns--wouldn't go so far as to say they are whips and x ups tho. I run 710s, i'm a midget. :) We call a pancake a table i think ? And if it's just a small one, a coffee table :) Is that a beginner trick tho ?? Seems kinda hard to me ? Or do you mean like an...

    Street rides - improvisation/inspiration/interpretation

    Can anyone in this thread do tricks? Been seriously (by that i mean proper bike and trying hard) riding dirt for 6 years now (street park for half that). After watching some videos from a few years ago,i realised all I've gotten better at is bike control. Lame. So i want to learn some...

    street bmx for 7/8 year old

    If you buy a Mafia, use "olaten" to get 10% off. Not sure how long it's good for tho. Probly only a few more days. People love to hate on Mafia, but one of their riders has put the MadMain thru some crazy stuff and it's still going strong. The dude is not adept about covering up how many frames...

    Little Things You Hate

    Sorry, but it sounds like you're saying that only certain fields of study are worthy of granting PhDs ? I know several people with PhDs in fields you've deemed "ridiculous". My sister went to school for over 10 years and has several degrees include a Doctorate. She is no less deserving of...

    Ryde/Meadowbank Skatepark!

    The park is flat, jumps would be hard work there. And there's no tree cover to speak of. Its half net ball courts and half soccer fields. An old tip i think someone said. Closest park to me was Monster, this will be closer and free. Fruitbooter? I like the double o tho. Aggressive Inline...

    Ryde/Meadowbank Skatepark!

    BOYS! GIRLS! ANYONE IN BETWEEN! Apparently, a proposal has been before Ryde Council for like 30 years to build a skatepark. Last night, the proposal was ACCEPTED! Breaking ground in February! So. Much. Stoke. As I live just outside of Ryde, I didn't hear about this until just last...

    NSW old school hardtail frame 26" found

    I've got a friend with a Banshee Scratch...haven't seen him ride it in like 2 years or something...had no idea there was interest in bikes like these. No idea where he got it from but it's got a 24s and a 150x12 rear---but it's a 14mm drop out. Apparently the thing can take 10mm of some sort...

    Little Things You Hate

    I fucking hate couriers and their bullshit 4 fucking days to deliver something to me that's coming from..........an hour away by car. Oh holy shit, that's so fucking far away. Bit better than the 4 day wait on another box only to find the lazy pricks hadn't bothered to even come to my house at...
