yes i do quite regulary actually, i have an octane jump bike with some suspension and rigid forks, there is a huge difference, obviously, when bunny hopping i have sometimes leant forwards to compress the forks and on rebound pulled up to make it easier, landings easier, takes less skill as you can throw them to the ground knowing your not going to break your wrists giving more confidence,
on the jump bike mainly do steet as its fun, i do enjoy having the suspension forks on as a bit of fun, but this guy never took them off. if he used a rigid fork i think i'd respect him more, i believe he's lucky really. if nobody knew him and released a dvd now i don't think people would buy it, think more of it as ' right place, right time '
theres a guy on youtube who does many more things than leech, pedal kicks, gaps etc.... on a 1980's road bike.
i respect leech a slight for making an alright dvd but thats as far as it goes for me im affraid.
