minitrialer Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 mini moto's are fun but arnet worth it unless you cna get a proper one which cna be jumped. Same as bikes you spend £200.00 quid and it will be shit/plastic/tacky/ and break in a week. On mine the pull start has broken 4 times and the suspension has snapped, just from riding along fields, not even jumping :mellow:. get a cheap old motorcross bike something you can actually fix and easily get spares for!)

Siders77 Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 But aren't Mini Motos supposed to be raced on flat ground? Not jumped?! :mellow: :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai the Socket Posted May 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 I wouldn't want to jump a mini moto! I'd want to use it to race up and down my street on.. lol. I was thinking about something like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...7156483427&rd=1 Whatcha think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minitrialer Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 But aren't Mini Motos supposed to be raced on flat ground? Not jumped?! :mellow: :D ← well you see i have a dirt one, its just tacky and not worth the bother. i suppose they are only fun if you have friends who have them, which i do but as i said it is cheap :S although i have to say that one looks quiet cool. Nice make nice things with it e.g lights speedo. However i would find out about spares and warranty first, you cant always tell the quality of them untill you see them up close i got mine from www.itch-tech.com www.diddybikes.com is cheaper but even worse and takes a month to deliver and has hidden charges. If i was you i would just get a motorcross bike. dont know how old you are but you could insure it as well and have it on the road!

crazy_gap girl Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 (edited) Have a look at these: http://www.airbornkites.co.uk/catalogue/ki...foil/flexi8.php I've got a 3.5m ('bout 11.5') Radsails (cheaper version of the Bullet) and it lifts me off the ground, no problems. Scarily so - if there's enough wind to move the trees a bit, there's enough to get some jumps in ;) If you get into it, for a bit extra the dirtboards can be real good fun too. ← yeahh get a kite i fly them iv got a flexifoil stacker 6.. its one of their smallest kites they sell but its about 178cm long its all scary stuff on a mega windy day :( soo much fun, cost me £80 haha but you can stack them 6 times soo 6 of the same kite is like one of their big kite surfing kites lol next time i go flying i'll get some pics ^_^ :- you could also buy one of them 3 wheeled buggies and zoom about in one of them with the kite pulling you, just take it to a long beach and your sorted :( :sick: flexifoil Edited May 20, 2005 by crazy_gap girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
