But you both look great doing it.
I stepped up my crashing to a new level. I ate it good last race.

It wasn't the MUD was it?

hope your okay.

I hope to race the next event and do good! If I know I'm not going to do any good, expect a good crash from me!:beer:

:lol::lol::lol: That first picture...man..that was the infamous 1st moto where neither Lee or I could get our left foot to sit on the pedal. I should have put my clips on! :lol::lol::lol:

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! Well...I'm sure you meant, "so you [won't] have rear wheel problems."

So you go for next round? :bang:

 

[Rockinthecasbah]

Awesome!

Ah...I remember that. I think I had too much traction with my shoes, because I'd try to move my foot to the right location, and it wouldn't go where I wanted it. I finally got it positioned while jumping the doubles out of the third turn.

Rick, what was the problem with your axle?

 

[Rockinthecasbah]

I had quick release outlaws and I couldnt get them tight enough like you warned me about. I foun out azonic makes a 3/8 bmx axle and had to order it luckily it got here fast but not soon enough for last weekend

 

[2wheel_lee]

Yes, good skewers make all the difference in the world. I've been using Salsa skewers, but I think the knurling on the Chris King hubs also helps.

Nonetheless, the bolt-on axle is the best bet. Hmm...that gets me wondering about my upcoming Mob, where I was considering using a different set of wheels that aren't available with bolt-on axles, and the axles aren't knurled. :-k

[Rockinthecasbah]

could be kind of sketchy, I still need to ge tthe knurled star washes I think those make a huge difference also, or mayb you could dremel out a bmx chain tensoner to accomidate the derailer
