I agree. However what he has may be adequate for his level of progression

Speaking of progression, I can kind of do a wheelie now. I was practicing for like 3 minutes and I got it. I was so proud. Secondly! I wasn't paying attention and turned way too far and fell, bending my brake levers! el oh el! It's pointed 90 degrees up now! Looks like a set of Avids is in my future!

I'll make a thread with pics and such later.
