I want to use it for Dirt jumps. I wil prob. ride it on the street a few times but I'm not to good at either dirt or street.
I live in Butler, PA. It's about an hour from Pittsburgh. Anyone else from PA?

actually looks like a pretty solid bike

Kool man any nice tracks around there? There was a decent track last year behind this place called kemper's. It's like a patch of woods by a pond behind a gas station/minimart sorta thing. Me and one of my friends rode it once then a bunch of jack@$$es cut down trees and ruined the jumps. So I had a PIT bike track in my yard so I peaked out one of the tabletops and made it into a slight stepup about 18' long but only about 4/5' high. I have 2 doubles that are made for my pitbike, and 2 table tops. It's set up nice so I really only need to fix the launch faces to get some "pop" and I'll make the doubles shorter since they are 20+feet. I will deff. get pics of it for you guys in a month or 2 before I go into action on it.

Also my friend mentioned maybe getting a woodchip pile to land in before we try backflips on dirt again. How well would that work?

gnr rocker

woodchips=splinters. Leaves are the best for a soft landing.

FireTeamCharlie

Leaves=Snakes, Boxes are better for soft landings

I was looking at frames and other parts and thinking of maybe buying good parts and making a custom bike. I think I could either start off by ordering a set of rims/hubs/spokes, tires, break pads, bars, and some other things and then as I break things I would buy what I need. I think the frame on my bike is pretty solid. I have a 2005 Haro R2. I think that the frame and forks will last for a long time still and the crank is still pretty smooth. I'll only stay with my frame for a little while unless it is a good frame?

I'd be willing to spend more $ on a custom bike if I knew that it would be better quality and last longer. I found these online and wondered if any of them would be good to buy and which frame would be good to get? I'm over 170lbs. and 5'9.5" if that means anything

Also guys how tall/long are normal dirt jumps? In the x-games they had a 28' double and smaller ones last year on the dirt freestyle track, is that normal length?

Those are crap. They have a lot of Poverty parts. Don't buy them.

FitRider 921

That's like asking what's the difference from one part to another part.

Actually, it is the same thing.
