No you don't. Believe me the "Plus" really isn't

Either a Jr. T or maybe 888s. My guess is a Jr. T

I feel like I've just walked into a room I'm not supposed to be in. The Isane-O room. I'm scared.

BTW, anyone know what kind of helmet that blue one is? I dig it.

StalkerZERO 04-29-05 09:53 AM

They were wearing helmets? I don't remember em wearing helmets. So lemme get this straight.........
Its ok to jump off 50 foot drops as long as you have a powerful enough fork? :| How big was that drop in the first vid?

All you can do is turn those preload adjusters as far as they go anti-clockwise and try and lube it regularly. ;)

I know this is a bike forum and all, and many people hold something against inline skaters, but this is one amazing jump: http://www.unoriginal.co.uk/footage29_4.html

I can't ever see myself doing drops half the size of any of those videos. I'll stick to off road fixed gear, thank you very much.

The guy who drops off the concrete wall with the BMX bike is wearing a soft, baby-blue helmet. I dig the shape--anyone know it?

firstly, its not a bmx, its an mtb. the helmet is a protec helmet, or a simlar comany, because now a days all companys use basicly the same design for skate- style helmets

Those are hard drops...literally. If you crashed on one of those then that would be a mess.

Here is a pic of Kettle's bike. It looks to have Jnr or Super T's on it. Howeber it doesn't look to have the linkage plates on. They were made in Aus, so I assume it was Grip, and hey give him 7inch of travel in the rear.

Oh and that skater, I have seen that video, but still... HOLY SHIAT

I reckon they're Jr Ts. The Supers from that year had silver lowers (I think)
