hello chaps, ive recently bought an echo pure long, and it was recommended to get a high rise stem as the bottom bracket is pretty high, ...so, i have a try all one on there at the moment and it is 130 mm long with about 20 degree rise, looks the dogs, brilliant for side hops up stuff and technical stuff, but dreadful for bunny hopping, manualing, i find it almost impossible...ive also tried an 80 mm kore elite, the bunny hopping is easier, but it feels like im hanging over the front end as it has very little rise and it feels really short!!? so, .....does anyone else have this problem?

I would love if you would right about any thing im doing wrong or need to tweek to go higher.
Thank you for all your help and have a nice day.
Cheers.
there is nothing wrong with your pedal ups mate, thats how i do it, and you can probably do it higher than me!!! watch dirty tricks and cunning stunts by martyn ashton/martin hawyes, its a pre 2000 video but they go through all the moves, hope that helps mate

maxxis all the way, reasonably cheap, excellent grip, good for resisting snake bites!!
