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.

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: https://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.

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
