Inches. On my Element i could gap and sidehop near what i could on my mod. You just need some muscle, aggression and abuse. So in saying that, i will hop several inches more on mod, but it'll be smooth. On the 24" it would be a huck to rim breaker to get near the same.

I can't see shit on my phone but i doubt there's a new model being tested. Inspired took a long time leaving these in testing so i doubt a new model would do them any favours. It would panick me a lot if that junction required changing after paying out the bucks for the frame.... But people do insist on buying the latest and greatest because it's new..... Again, i doubt either are true.

Lower the better. It'll teach you to spin. If you're having to land with your back brake on you're probably not spinning enough. If you're not rolling out with much speed, then again the spin probably isn't correct. The above applies primarily for lower drops. Higher drops focus on smoother landings in a different way

Right now i'm with the bump guy. Just so fed up with work atm, yet i could afford to walk straight out. Such a relief leaving jobs, had too many like that. But normally the tranquility (sp?) feeling. If i'm on my bike just sat there at sun down, with no one around, no noises, just a mild humm from the motoway down my local is great. Thinking in such a philosophical way i really enjoy. But the funny thing is, when i was in various places in the middle of knowhere, in front of crazy sunsets, in isolated places, in no light polluted spaces looking at the stars, the feeling was no different. Thousands of miles away from home or 2, it makes difference. Also appreciation from someone else is great. Though i don't seem to encpunter that much anymore. Be it friends, shops, general people. I guess that's why i'm such a negative b*****d half the time. hah

No disrespect but i would of gone for the, email them and ask "for a possible fix/ repair of my second hand product". But you're right, people have somehow claimed warranty on second hand products, BIZARRELY Your excuse is acceptable, for now.

No offence, but this is the dumbest thing i've ever seen from you. Second hand. Emailed them but posted here anyway. Do i need to write a post about why, how, WHYYYYYYYY. I hope not >.<

Most has been mentioned. The non-queue thing as Ailsbury mentions is pretty much the game. Unfortunately skill level kinda takes priority a lot of the time. Most parks these days you have to play the game/ politics. Cruise about and identify the mood of the park. If people appear snakey, compy, or generally rude then it's either give them a taste of their own medicine or put up with the crap. Most people normally back off easy enough i find, but some don't which then creates a whole load of compy session, which is tiresome. Generally i've found skaters are normally pretty respectable to riders if they are not average tailwhip joe with tight jeans. One thing not mentioned though, filming normally takes priority, if it's genuine. Not average joe doing a flyout or other basic move. Which again does tie into the, skill = priority.

Is this legit...? Either way; No thanks, Kevin

So it is Am on mobile..

Looking tidy. What you doing about the bb?

The answer to your question is probably in that paragraph

If a lot of rain is guranteed then i'm dropping out. Trials, knee, work f**king my monday off; off, solo car journey, all equate to not worth it unfortunately.

You mean about Vancouver? You said you wanted experiences rather than just boozing. From that i thought you wanted to go do something different to the norm. Vancouver and Whistler are highly commercial places. Nice and friendly, but nothing special. But when it comes to decent/ big mtb places, they're probably all gonna be commercial.

As if London driving wasn't fun enough. Is there a train station close by to the meeting spot

Goodo. Be good to meet you as everyone else i've met

14/15yrs Saracen then a Monty x-alp Sidehops and everything else that hurts my knee. They are indeed a pain to learn. Although with the newfound 20" bars now they should be easier to get. They took me a while to get, but when i got them i did them on and off anything and everything

Higher the better. Stronger tyre and better puncture protection.

Without time & money considerations it's hard to say. You can go anywhere if you weren't set on taking your bike. If you're after "experiences" avoid Vancouver completely imho. There are places on doorstep likea scottish highlands and iceland that would offer a fresher experience if you like.

Those bikes are sure funny to look at. Sprung! Friend had them tyres. Were about as wide as my 2.5" hookworm. Plus they punture proof. Get a pair of hookworms. Yes a pair

Some folding do have higher tpi, how many more tyres i don't know. But just something to be wary of. As i said OP. Holy for pure street. TT for some dirt grip too.

When people fall over from exhaustion.

Simply not good enough whatsoever at all

Watched this the other day as i'm subbed. Truly impressed!

Awesome Ben, great stuff. Rail ride was "deece" as they say

The Tabletop if i'm thinking of the right tyre is gonna have the same thin sidewall as the HolyR. But with more spaced out grip. For pure street the Holy is better rolling but TT for more urban/dirt mix. Both pretty bad on rear for punxtures at low pressure.
