  1. I was just looking through some pics on my computer and came across this beast.

    [attachmentid=7393]

    I was wondering who's it is and if they'd sell it. And if they would how much? I would be very interested in buying!

    Cheers,

    Sam

    P.s. Didn't know which section to post this in so sorry mods if it's in the wrong one, please feel free to move it. (Y)

  2. I have been looking around and I can't actually find anywhere that sells a full build. I am mainly interested in the downhill one... can't think of the name of it :$. Does anyone know where sells them and how much for?

    Thanks,

    Sam

  4. Give it some beans! and do you use 1 or 2 fingers if you use 2 change to one that helps loads (Y)

    Correct! (Y) Forgot about that. I used to use two fingers for my brakes and couldn't do anything, but then I started using just the one and I improved straight away! It does take a little bit of getting used to but only a few minutes.

  5. ive got the same problem, im starting to get more and more height, i find that more speeds get me heigher, peda as fast as possible and on the last stroke before you take off pull on the bars and give it a huge kick on the pedal, once you fel yourself taking off use the technique of a bunny hop and then push forward with your arms. It really helps me get height.

    NO!!! You want technique not speed! If you go at a steady (slow-ish) speed then use that last kick for the extra power, that's more like it. It's like jumping up but pulling the bike up with you... sorry bad explanation :$ i can't really explain it.

    If you go as fast as you can, you will not only use up all your energy before you even get up anything, but if you do miss it or do something wrong (which always happens when you'll try new things) you will be in a lot more pain when you fall off if you are going at speed.
