: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 a great shot of Holmes diggin' into that corner too!

 

just got the axle in for my 4x bike so i wont have rear wheel problems anymore

 

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:

 

yeah im defintly in for next round I'm still trying to get weekends off for camping

 

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?

 

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

 

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

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
