BIG L

What a nice bike. I bet that bash plate grips allot! Bike a bit thin for my liking.

Yeah definetly bring your bike. We have lots of good riding spots down here as willwithashton said we have lots of amazing natrual here also there is some good street here. Come to Bude thats were i live!

What frame have you got echo team short or long?

Right, i may have the chance to get an echo team frame. I currently ride an bog standard onza t pro no upgrades yet. If you don't already know you can get it in 2 different lengths 1000mm wheelbase and 1030mm wheelbase. I was wondering if i got some echo lite forks and added them to the echo frame which frame long 1030mm wheelbase or short 1000mm wheelbase would feel more like the t pro, or have a very similar wheelbase and also would a t pro bb fit in the frame to?

I think the bike is ok could be better like the bash plate you will not get any grip with that bash plate on any wall or anthing the teeth are so small on it.

No offence but you sound like you don't have a clue about bikes e.g rooney rims they are not rooney he is a footballer they are called ronnie rims and you can also get ronnie and reggie rims. Also them rims are the same wideness as normal t pro rims. Sorry but i haven't never heard of running an upside down stem, what you could do is take a cup or two out and saw the bar that comes out of your forks which will lower the bar height. A big tire will not fit a front rim as the big tires are 19" so just buy a good tire to fit it. Finally you definitely cannot run a motorbike disk on the front as it will not fit and will weigh a ton.

I have this helmet it is very good and this shop is good beceause it was deliverd quickly.Link

I think there won't much difference because i ride a tpro and yesterday i went riding with some other mates and rode an Onza t rex that bike is so so nice on the back wheel i thought stock would be rubbish but it isn't and then i rode a Brisa b26d and that was also really nice on the back wheel to. The only difference i found with a mod compared to a stock is stock bikes seem harder to get up stuff and a bit harder to flick about!

No i love doing drops and like to see how high i can go ive done almost 9ft . And also when you sit and think about it you start thinking what if i don't make it and i really hurt myself or what if i land wrong and brake my bike, so the best thing is just go for it.

Don't think about it, just go for it and give it some beans! On the other hand you could find little drops and practice your tecnuiqe and everytime just go a little higher e.g 2ft, 3ft,4ft, and so on. That is the way i learnt but now i am more confident with myself and just go for it Also you could stand on top of the drop looking down at the ground and picture yourself in your head doing the drop and then do the drop that works well usually.

Sounds to me you are leaning to far backwards so your foot automaticly trys to come up and counter balance you. And back hopping is hopping backwards

Well you are not to small for stock. No one really is to small for stock it is weather you feel comfortable on a stock bike or not. There is some small people who are better on stock than mod so that proves the point. Also i would try and have a few rides on a few different stock bikes to see if you like the feel of any of them better than a mod if not stick with mod bikes!

My funniest fall was i was riding along a car park and randomly let go of my handle bars and fell off it bruised my shoulder quite badly. But my mates one was the best LINK. That fall was hilarious it really was!

I had a few but not that recently. When i was 9 i had a little mountain bike and was boming it down a path on a hill i went in to a little ditch and went over the handlebars and slid along the concrete path on my face . And the last bad fall i had was about 4 months ago i hadn't been riding for a month and i went out one night and pedal kicked up a 1 foot wall and went to drop the other side which was 3 foot for a mess around and my back brake stuck and i went flying over the handle bars and landed on my head and it knocked me out for a little bit, i was using v brakes and i had just put some tar on and the worst bit was i wasn't wearing a helmet, but i do now! I strongly suggest helmets.
