  1. Lol. I'm not suggesting he's a better rider. I'm just saying that his style excited me more than Benito's does.
  2. An awesome video was that! Love Barrow Farm, so much fun. If only I was closer to it
  3. Awesome idea. Will have to find someone with a decent camera.
  4. Your grind can't be any good then if those pads don't work.
  5. Lol. This thread made me laugh. "I run 13.45635 psi in the rear, any more and it's unbearable!". Pump the tyre up, ride it. Too hard- let some out. Too soft- put more in.
  6. Onza can just use the existing front tyre/rim combo to keep costs down. And as already said, weight is a big issue for some. They wouldn't have done it just to be awkward.
  7. Not really feeling that. The frame is too thick at the top.
  8. Look at the geo and re-ask that question.
  9. You can't just put that without explaing what it actually means EDIT: Yeah, I'm aware I just pretty much did it, too. But I don't care.
  10. As Rowan said, try on a flat gap, and take off something that isn't rounded as it's harder/more risky to do. Other than that, more preload- really bend your legs and get down to the rear wheel, then launch your body towards the stem to really throw the bike. Could do with some air tuck but that's a hard thing to do on a flat gap. I used to gap like you and could never go more than 6 foot, so I took ^ that advise into condiseration and can now do 8/8 and a half.
  11. He actually blows my mind. His videos are a bit poor, but the riding is just daft. You just can't go that big, it's not possible!
  12. I would suggest not. How many threads are holding it on?
  13. 9 pallets is bloody big for anything. You were right before the edit!
  14. That's a bit vague to be honest. Every rider is different and will have different goals. It's unfair to say to someone that they're under average 'cause they can't sidehop x amount of pallets.
  15. f**k! Video was a bit boring. But the riding more than made up for it!! Deigo is an absolute monster. He's incredible, much better to watch than Benito.
  16. I've had my Truvativ GigaPipe DH for 2.5 years now and it's still pretty much perfect.
  17. Pretty damn awesome I thought. He always seemed like the more traditional man from what I've seen of him. If anyone didn't see it, you should go watch it. Learn to diffuse a bomb.
  18. Not a smart thing to get into... Stan Shaw, OBM?
