  4. Yup, i can do that ok, i can hop on my bck wheel 10 times around about, but only when i do an endo first... i mean just punching at the drive-train and raising the front wheel in one motion without an endo, thats what i find imposable...

  5. Hmm, not really mate, im not the sort of person to ask, all i know is the kabuki is pretty good for the money.. i got mine 2nd hand for £240 only 2 mounths old, and it wasmint... i haven't had a problem with it yet It seems to be pretty dam strong, and ive bough some new parts for it such as new gearing and new hydralic rear brake You could look through the for sale sections on this site... you can get some pretty good deals on here
  6. Anywhere, any time lads! Anyone up for riding in the south west? Salisbury, Bristol, Bournemouth, Poole etc. ? Please let me know if you wanna ride on saterday! Cheers guys!
  7. Oh, fair enough... lol its just a beginers bike for me at the moment... I can't really afford a decent one yet
  8. Just the fact its so long, and others who have commented on the length of the top tube.. *I'll re-phrase... Its better suited for people over 6ft? i suppose its also down to personal prefrencee, i like prefer a longer frame... and im quite tall (6ft 1" i think) but i guess some shorter people might also prefer a long frame What frame you riding?
  9. my diamondback frame is like it... mines a Kabuki frame isn't that the 'Diamondback Tekiya' Frame?
  10. I've got the kabuki ! Its not bad,pretty solid! Its pretty dam long though, so be sure to be prepared for that... Its meant for people 6ft and over really...
  11. This tutorial is just for newbies For most people wanting to bunny-hop, their first thought would be to simply pull the whole bike up in one short jolt, all in one single motion. This will get you off the ground, but its not going to get you up on those 3ft walls or anything taller. There are three motions you will need to think about if you want to pull off the perfect bunny hop. 1) You need to use your upper body strength to pull the bar straight up, therefore raising the front wheel of the ground. - You need to get the bars up as high as possible, this is easier with a shorter frame! - Not only do you need to lift the bars up as much as possible but you need to keep the front wheel of the ground for a while (almost like a manual) if you are hoping to hop onto a wall, or even a small curb. 2) Now you've got the front sorted you'll need to practice that old technique of lifting the whole bike up off the ground... - It may be wrong but it will give you the opportunity to get used to manoeuvring the bike in the air. 3) Now you've practised both these techniques you will need to add the 'scoop' use the full potential of your muscles and get that bike up in the air! (Without hitting anything) - This really is the technique to gain that height you want to get the bike up onto those walls. - You want to use the first technique I explained and raise the front of the bike (preferably holding it there for a second or two) then you will want to raise the back of the bike - There are three ways to do this... (You have to do all of them!!!) * Un-weight the back wheel * Pull the bars forward and snap your wrists to raise the back wheel * Use your feet to aid the real wheel lift! I you point your toes toward the floor and use your legs to push back and up (This motion is like the front bars up and forward but this time its up and back) Hope I Helped with this simple tip Thanks for reading!
