I think i did, i dont think its like a dent i think it was with the impact the frame just crumpled or somthing So i just stripped my bike so i cant ride for ages now

Theres a funny vid of me bailing cause i got scared hahah.

Ttheres pics of the dent and of the frame. Do you think its worth selling the frame even though its got this dent? or is there no point? One of the funny videos is just processing on youtube, will upload it later.

i have a video of me on my phone, but when i bluetooth it to my computer, the computer wont let me open it cause its not an excepted file format? how can i sort this?

But the bad thing is, a burst my brake and put a huge dent in my frame trying it Surprisingly it didnt hurt at all, and i landed on my head a couple of times, i just found it quite funny.

You must have been pretty bored to sit there cutting them off. That must have taken absolute ages! i cant see that being true

ill put the videos up later, because i dont have them yet.... I dont think we got the one where i landed on my back still on the bike but theres plenty of funny ones of me throing the bike away caause i got scared haha. They might be up tonight, not sure yet though.

hahaha nah im not dead My bike is though Put a massive dent in the frame cause i got scared in mid air and i threw it away My best attempt i got like upside down then landed, next time i think it will be into a foam pit Was worth trying it though.

Well yeah there a wee bit different, like yours has a euro bb? and mine has an american bb, and yours has an integrated headset? Mine has standard Theres probably other wee differencees but i havnt seen the new one close up so i wouldnt Know

To all those who said to get it on film, ofcorse i will Im doing it tommoro (if its dry) so the video will be up tommoro night for you guys to laugh If i do get injured (which i probably will) the video might not be up tommoro night, or if its wet i wont be trying it till its dry To The scientist you have one nice dmr Not to sure about the halo's though? I had two sets of them last year and cracked them all Thas the new dmr? Mine is an older version, but the frames are the exact same just different colours

They are amazing! I have them pumped up quite hard at the moment and they just feel so nice, there not the lightest of forks but they are the best! I had a shot of my mates 2008 Dj3's and they were crap and felt horrible, and he manageed to burst them like jumping a four set which everyone leanrs to do when they are about 5? Oh yeah post up a pic of your dmr, The scientist? I think thats it. The video wouldnt actualy load up on my computer cause my internet is being gay, but it says martyn ashton backflip so im guessing thats it Yeah I know i dont want to break them, thats why i decided to wear body armour aswell, i wasnt going to but i'd rather be safe than sorry

There the 2005 dirt jumper 3's, they are solid! I've snapped every other pair of forks i've had, but these are still going strong mind you i only got them like 4 months ago or somthing

yeah i may have the balls to try it but, i wont have any ball left after trying it yeah i have noticed you love them , good on you! There quality bikes!

LOL Fair play to you man! I have a dmr

Why look at it then? and i am trying it on saturday. I ony started this thread to ask for pointers, and so far pretty much everyone has helped, so thanks guys Yeah ill make it loose dirt, unfortunatly there isnt any table tops and yeah ill get it on film and post it up thats them ^

As everyone keeps saying, I know i probably wont ride out of it first time, but when i go for it, there will be no hesitation ill just full on go for it. I'm not going to bother going to foam pits, it will cost too much money and i've said im going to try it, so im not going to pussy out, i hate pussying out once you've said your going to do something cause then you feel like such a pussy untill you do actualy try it Im not really trying it onto something solid? Dirt isnt that solid? I know its alot harder than foam but still And as some riders say " Pain is temporary glory is forever"

Cheers for the confidence mate! Yeah ill defenetly get it filmed, if i dont die i will post it up Oh and cheers for that video tom! Was that bongo's first attempts?

I'd rather just go for it at the trails, im gunna like wear a full face helmet. I was going to wear armour, but i hate the stuff The way i was going to do it was: 1,As i approach the jump, get ready to thro the bike backwards. 2,As i take off look back to the sky pull the bars into me. 3,Keep pulling + looking back. 4, When im upside down, sh*t myself, and pull the big back round. 5, When im like in a nose dive pull up spot the landing and land? Is this right? yeah please find that video of you learning

Theres not a foam pit in Aberdeen, there is in Dumbarton. I cant be bothered dragging matress's down to the trails, so i was thinking just kiss my balls good bye and go for it? My girlfriend is going to be there so i will defenetly try it, she made me do 360's. I know i wont be riding out of it first time, just want to give it a shot? a 14 year old doing a backflip whos been riding 2 years? sounds pretty good to me

Basicaly, i am thinking of trying a backflip at my local trails in inverness on my Dmr, and i was wondering if there was anyone on here that rides dirtjump as well as trials and that can do a backflip? If there is, any pointers for my first attempt? I don't really fancy landing on my head and braking my neck Cheers Austen.

As Adam said, the originals are the best, my rear hope has the orginals in them and it is a beast, just make sure (as adam said) you keep the rotor clean and the brake caliper / pads clean from dirt, if you do happen to get your brake pads contaminated, take them out of your brake and boil them in a pan with hot water, and then lightly sand them down and they should be fine. I've had to do this a number of times to my pads and they still work amazingly well.

You could hold a newspaper in your ear! Apart from that, that sidehop is MASSIVE. Well done

Hahah that reminds me of the BFG? That is a quality pic!

That there is f**king gorgeous mate! Thats got to be one of the nicest (if not the nicest) Zhi Zm2 i've ever seen. Yeah white rim tape would be nice, but who cares, its bloody nice as it is in my opinion!

Get rid of them horrible gold bits and that bike would be mint! Well it alreay is a beaut, but them gold parts just ruin it
