brb, going to canberra
i had a laughNo fucken compact street geo here, only real men could get their balls stuck between the tire and that seat.
Missed this before, what width bars are everyone running? I was running 670, but the bars I've got now are 690, which is perfect IMO. I'm toying with the idea of getting some BIG bars so I can try them out the 243 + my AM bike. How wide is too wide? I know a fair few people who run 750 on dj/4x bikes, but it I reckon you feel a bit stretched out. Even me at 6'5''.Nat, you seem to love narrow bars!
You need some more travel to soften out the landings patto!I love going over the bars from a steep nearly canadian footjam to flat....... Fuck my wrists are sooooo sore!
Of course in your wrists, where else? After a few dislocations you get a nice progressive feeling before they bottom out.Haha, travel in my wrists? lol, got enough in my forks mang =p haha
Haha, they're pretty sore right now.. Hope i can ride tomorrow! haha, i miss that bandana... don't remember what happened to it =[Of course in your wrists, where else? After a few dislocations you get a nice progressive feeling before they bottom out.
In all seriousness: That's a big bandana in your profile shot on CTN imports.
Look down at your rear axle, i find that helped me a lot, and twist your body as you loook. Start rotating once your front wheel leaves the coping.. A little bit of a carve off the lip helps also. Go on youtube and watch some bmx how to vids ]You guys able to give me any tips for 3's out of a quarter? Currently i either
A) turn to soon and nearly dye by smacking my front tyre into the coping or
b) get the rotation but land nowhere near the pedals
is it a matter of just looking over my shoulder and spotting the landing or am i missing something?
Nat, how the hell do you ride with such skinny bars! 690 is ridiculously thin! anything more then 750 is not needed. I'm a fairly tall guy (as you are aware) and anything bigger then 750 just feels weird and makes it a bit more difficult to manouver the bike because it feels like your doing a push up every time you try to pick up the bike. You will not feel stretched out, you will feel comfortable, something you probably haven't ever felt!Missed this before, what width bars are everyone running?

And that skatepark continues to get better. Canberras is the best city for riding in Australia, the (proper) mtbing there is amazing too (I <3 majura pines).

haha never in this thread...i run 710mm on both my bikes. for me its perfect.
yeah when was the last time there were 2 posts in the same minute!
just my 2c worth but White with black parts = OffGuts !! :clap2: hahahaThanks for the offer man! But all being well I should have a majesty frame by Tomorow, then it's just a matter of finding the time to build it, Unfortunatly white is the only color left
yeah, its all about the stealthy look . paint stripper and clear coat can solve that issue though...Thanks for the offer man! But all being well I should have a majesty frame by Tomorow, then it's just a matter of finding the time to build it, Unfortunatly white is the only color left
