  1. hmmm not that short then.... would probably make it ride nicer as you won't feel so stretched out with lower bars
  2. You're fairly short aren't you? Try some TT sports bro x
  3. Stop calling everything silly you do it all the time on here haha
  4. My mate makes videos like these with our group of riding pals. They're just full of circlejerk inside jokes and bitching though, this is much better
  5. What frame is it? If it has a stiff brake mount area then there's no need. But if you have a cheapest frame with a brake area like an onza comp or something youre better off with a booster.
  6. Just set them up to a position which feels best on 2 wheels, you won't get any benefit rolling them forward when you can't pedal kick very well Once you start doing moves like gaps and sidehops, you might think your riding will benefit from having your bars further forward
  7. A friend of mine isn't to great at sidehops, he always tries them no matter what height but often slips down to chainstay. This of course aggravates him more and more and he gets irritated when he can't do it. It's fairly clear that he only tries them so often because it's a move I do a lot when out riding, and I try and get him to do the same because I think he enjoys them like I do. In reality he doesn't really enjoy them and only does them because I say he should, which is wrong of me as he doesn't like doing them. I'm obsessed with sidehops (sad I know) and that's why I do them so often and have spent so long getting the technique right, and spending ages looking at other styles of doing them. But not everybody is the same. The point is don't listen to what anyone else says, do what makes you happy with your riding.
  8. Do what you enjoy, don't get caught up getting angry at sidehops if you don't even like them
  9. That was f**king hilarious Please make more, enjoyed it so much
  10. No not at all, rule I was told by Burkett is that when trying the highest you can possibly go you tweak it to front wheel, but when youre trying to make it look cool and comfortable you pop it up straight to two wheels. If youre looking to get higher try pre loading more, and jumping up quicker and harder. In the world's of cls "kick hard reach high". Also, practice makes perfect x

    where mad! not sure about song choice though, something more up beat would of suited it more. Sidehop at 2:10, that about 55"?
  12. I've ran water in all my echo brakes, no problems.
  13. Would be interested in them if a sprocket is compatible. That way I could run it with my pro2 and have a drivetrain that isn't screw on for my mod.
  14. I run 2 bottom clamps from the standard magura set. Washerless and works well.
  15. My bad, wasn't sure if it was definite yet. I'm not sure why the link doesn't work
  16. Hey guys, thought this was worth a post on here. My friend josh is going around europe with his girlfriend in a few months time, and intends to to a lot of riding in the different countries that he will be visiting. He has set up a facebook page so viewers can look at the riding being done abroad and basically just follow the adventure that he will be going to setting upon, Josh hopes that this will inspire more people to take the leap and take their bikes abroad with them Feel free to check out the facebook link and like and share it if it appeals to you https://www.facebook.com/JoshBurkettsEuropeAdventure Many thanks George x
