  1. I've got a mission prodigy, Don't go there mate. If you can get an onza ,get one!! Possibly T-pro. But whatever you do make sure you've got decent brakes e.g hs33, hs11, I'd say hs33. Do not get v-brakes!! You'll regret it. Oli
  2. I had the exact same problem as you, my landings were awful. What I did was just practice like everyone else. Find your self a drop that you are'nt scared of but which you feel comfortable with and just keep dropping and dropping. Dont just kick when you're at the edge, drop and crouch down and keep your weight to the back. DONT BE SCARED and Panic just stay calm. Practice makes perfect =). I find when dropping crouching more makes the drop smaller and the landing more dampened. Oli
  3. echo lite forks. onza t-master stem. echo tough handlebars. cheers oli
  4. bb7 are very powerful for cable......although if i had the choice i would run a hydro
  5. GET A T-PRO, they're much better....than t-birds....And if you get a t-pro you can make it mint... i reckon 9/10 people would choose a t-pro over a t-bird oli .... anyone agree???
  6. the first ones better, but have you looked on ebay?? you could pick up a brand new one or little used with magura brakes for at leat £300-350. Or if you look around cheaper than that Oli
  7. it depends how much you are going to spend and what you want,,theyr'es a huge range at tarty with loads of brands. and if you want a monty visit www.cleanbikes.co.uk. but tarty is probably the best for money and choice.
  8. id dont run my tyres on any precise pressure I just run them on what feels right. natural a little soft.................and street probably pretty hard if u wanna do gaps. drops, n taps...

  12. On youtube watch the tutorials on ryan leech, , and just keep practicing. The best way is practise on pallets! Cause if you muck up you dont wreck you're frame and stuff. Oli
