    I'm not surprised you almost killed yourself doing downhill with a bmx lol.

    Took it out yesterday for the 1st ride and its pretty much set up perfect, just need a chunkier back tyre.

    Loved it yesterday can't wait to go back out next week and hit the jumps a bit harder and faster

    By the way what tyres are they? I was looking for tyres like you have over here, but this country sucks balls

    Shwalbe muddy mary.

    Good tyre's although i couldn't fit the rear one on because it kept rubbing the suspension pivot.

    Got a old maxxis xc tyre on there for the moment.

    Shot at the top of the mountain, took me an hour to push the thing up, knackered when I got to the top.



    Few shots of the terrain, these don't look as bad as the rest of the course but these were the faster parts and trying to avoid the trees is not easy lol.






    Going to try and mount my small Dvr cam to my helmet next week and see how that comes out.

    Fitted a new bigger spring today, the rebound on the rear shock wasn't enough and it basically wasn't absorbing the bumps tidy. Longer spring and a bit of air in the shock works lively now.


    Lost a chainring bolt last week so set out and bought four ultra light black ones.


    Also made a quick mount for my helmet camera.



    Hoping to get out tomorrow and test the camera out.

    Camera was pant's, too blury. Cheap camera and too much movement for it i think.

    Just bought a new one, test that out next week.
