Dirt Jumps Roll Call The Bowl needs you

yeah, your STP is fine for what you're doing. just need to get a new fork and you'll be good. there's no reason to go all-out on a dirt jumper (unless you just feel like it :lol

I thought about maybe a double, but that would be more geared towards 4x stuff. FS has no place on straight up jumps/doubles IMO. FS is for going fast and being comfortable. hardtail is the way to go for jumping. more pump, less weight, more fun

but go ahead and get a double anyway gary. I'll come ride it down the 4x track in fontucky for ya :beer:

 

What does the "Double" look like?

 

like a small bottle rocket.

probably an excellent 4x bike, but for do-it-all, can't be a hardtail DJ

 

the double kicks

I like jumping a 26 the only reason I ride the 20 now is because its alot of fun in the air

 

hey, you gotta do what you like. I just happen to like this

Suspension has no place for straight up jumps/doubles. So you fall short since you have an Argyle. Just ask someone on a BMX. :lol:

BMX-even less weight. Even MORE fun!!:bang:

 

there's a place for suspension. I still case my front wheel into landings from time to time, and suspension saves me there.

 

and that's the same reason for a little travel on the rear with a DJ bike. it wasn't made to be plush.

 

if you are casing things with the front, suspension isnt going to save you just luck

 

not a normal occurence, but it does happen. i'd rather have a little squish to save me in those cases. I know if I was riding rigid i'd have been effed...

 

Atttention Jumpers....i got a new/ used fork...fox talas rlc fork for a good deal....im ready to rip it...

 

sickkk. they're pretty sweet once you slam them to 80mm and run a bolt-on axle.

 

There were some Folks building things at Sheep Hills, although jumps are surrounded by puddles of waters and mud. Have the bowl got any attention lately? Should something be done while we have these wonderful weather.

 

yeah its time to build !!!! If i only had time

 

i could probably manage some time this weekend. booked through thursday though
