i am 14 15 in jan i way 12 stone 12 and am 6ft 1 i think i am other weight but i totaly agree with you when you are bigger you can totaly control your bike more its just i was worried about blow out jumping from high objects and i just cant pedal kick but im sure will be able to do them soon do u ride a 24 or 26 wat do u think off the bike i put on here. im not made of money but i dont think it is to much for a first trials bike i thought it was very good and it will last me longer i agree with the person that said you can ride better on better bike as well they are muck lighter and stronger.
