I know you probably dont want to do this but ill give ya, say ,150 bucks for the rear wheel? if not thats cool. I want to get the 7ka rim but wanted it chrome and I really want to try a freecoaster. hit me up let me know, maybe I can trade you for my odyssey hazard rear cassette wheel and some loot for it so you still have a wheel for the bike...

Re: airing really high(height issue) posted on 2008-03-24 21:01:43

northwest ken said it best, dont freak out.

you cant overthink things like that or else youll wind up in the hospital... just go with whats comfortable and ride within your limits. find a 6 foot pipe to ride.

I used to ride dirt and race back in the day and people tell me riding vert is alot like that but I tend to air out of the bowl to the deck or out to the flat sometimes. I dont even like riding park that much, I am more into street and prefer banks to pipes and I air so fucking high sometimes off banks that some of my friends ask me why I dont try a 3 and fakie it out, which sounds crazay to me but they see it from a different perspective than I do. but again I must tell you, practice makes perfect, in anything you do.

also, I recently fell pretty fucking hard in a bowl a week or so ago, so now Im focusing on rails again just to get my mind off vert. and about a month ago I missed my front peg on a handrail and busted my shit even harder than last week, which made me hit the vert. change it up, dont get fustrated, dont get scared, try something, anything else but what your afraid of and that will build confidence to try something your afraid of.

 

Re: how much does your bike weight? posted on 2008-03-22 22:51:23

i think you guys that say that your bike weighs in at 21 pounds fail to mention that its like a freaking bmx track bike, or you are just a liar, or you are rich and dished the money for the eastern TI grim reaper...

I just dropped 1400 bucks on a whole new custom complete at the end of last year and yea, I bought some hella nice, light parts. the frame on the other hand (macneil deuce deuce) is weighing in at 6lbs 5ozs, but hey I'm tall as hell and I needed it. but yea my bike, without brakes, and two pegs is hittin' just under 26 pounds. no TI parts,14mm axles, S&M fork and bars, 36hole 3 cross lacing, pivitol seat/post...shes a lanky beast and heavier than my last bike actually but then again that frame was a trail frame with no pegs with a  21 and a 1/4 inch toptube..

bottom line... heat treating, butting, 7000 series aluminum, magneisium, kevlar beads... it's what makes new parts equal in strength to older parts yet lighter.

 

hit me up sometime and check my rig out for yourself......www.Myspace.com/ghostinhisshell
