Cheers, seems like people like it =) Mads did a good job editing this.

The move by Björn at 1:42 is huge, really weird aswell.. He's good at those things, and static to back wheel, smooth and precise aswell.

As demanded, about the Toxsin 20":

Obviously short, easy to control and to get the front up, but theres less space behind the bars. I've got my bars quite high, might also affect the feel. Bunnyhops are really nice, quick up and then the short frame allows you to land with your body very far back / push the bike up. Wheelswap as having the front high and swap is harder, just because it's short. Wheelswap/front to back, like landing on the front and swiching is easy aswell, at least the switch itself. At first everything felt abit higher and further away, becasue you always compare the obstacle to the bike, don't you? gaps might feel bigger that thay are , my gaps havent gone smaller though.Some things good some things bad. Its really hard to put words to everything, since it's mostly how it feels... Now i'm quite well used to the bike, still havent tried everything though. I dont really feel restricted by the bike now, although i was abit worried at first.
