Mind you, I've thrown down in a skate park with 34x27, 28c tires and flat pedals on mine.

In the 70s we took two ten speeds, welded them together into a tandem and took the beast into an abandoned skate park. Broke the bike in half on our first drop into a half pipe. Riding ten speeds and mopeds in that skate park was common. I'm surprised none of us were ever seriously hurt.

the concept of doing an out and in air on a really big half pipe still sounds insanely fun and is completely feasible. does anyone ride vert on non bmx bikes regularly? seems like a 29'r set up with rigid fork would work well.....
