Don't know exactly because I have changed many parts. I think about 700quid.

The song is Under byen - "sejler" from album kyst.

Small movie from worlds including Benito Ros, Kazuki Terai, Ben Savage, Daniel Butler, Dani Comas, Cesar Canas, etc. Filmed and edited by me (my 2nd video ever). It was difficult to shoot comp without wide lens. Maybe I will make something more from my 40min footage. http://tv.isg.si/site/filebrowser/jumper (better quality) cheers

Tried monty foam grips, very comfortable. I have tried VELO (try all, echo) rubber grips, foam grips are much better. ***

Just arrived from BIU world championship in Chech Republic, Blansko. Took some pictures. Also filmed some footage with Benito Ros, Dani Comas, Ben Savage, Daniel Butler, Ben Slinger, Cesar Canas. Maybe will make some movie later. Cheers Benito Ros 1st place in Elite category Peter Bartak - 2nd place Dani Comas - 4th koxx kompozit Abant sister more pictures http://www.karters.lv/?cat=4&o=BIU_pasaules_cempionats

Here's my beauty. Monty 221pr frame, zhi forks, monty front wheel with white spokes (front wheel weight without tire - 700g, 1.5lb), rock pads, zhi fluo rear rim, avid bb5 front brakes. cheers

get monty 221pr! it is lighter than zona (2kg huh) and monty has geometry like 221ti. rides like a beast! I'm riding it two months now. no problems with it. bling bling

All depends on training. I think it is not good to think about how you gonna fall and hurt yourself, just jump. When you will jump and see that nothing bad happend, you will try it again and again. But if you don't feel absolutely confident, don't do that. I agree that it's good to ride together and push each other. We are usually riding like that.

I have grinded my old style echo rim for at least 20 times and still no bend in sidewalls althought I smash it hard quite often. Now I have koxx browns and they work well on medium grind and wear it down in two or three days so I must grind my rim frequently.

Creapy Crawlers are more softer and grippy than echo and monty (with yellow line) tyres. They are also two times cheaper than try-alls. I only hadn't grip with them in winter when they were worn down and when I was riding on snow. So keep on using CCs weight try-all: 561g front and 1113g rear. maxxis: 688g front and 1042g rear.
