We were gonna weld the rotor and make brackets for the shock but my dad really didnt want us to do that because he wanted to keep those parts. Also we have some good ideas for action pics. Weve already got a few offers from mongoose to revamp their moutain bike line. Incipit come over and you can try some sweet dowhill in central illinois were world famous for big hills (just kidding incase your stupid like that one guy).

Shwa rider I wouldnt really call it skill because we ended up having about 20 leftover parts so we just left them in a box. Also we dropped the nut that keeps the forks from wobbling loose so you have to tighten the one lock nut we found for it about every 2 mintues. THe bike probably isnt safe to ride(we do anyway) but it was fun to make.
