I would hate to be the first to do anything, I can do a few different footjams and get hassled non stop to do them by locals.
Never mind being the worlds first to do something...I bet people ask hucker to hang 5 to front flip all the time

Big apples are cheap, run them at the max rated though. Mine blew when above( was running 100 on a hot as tits day mind you)

Been meaning to ask you if they slide good? Was riding a mac2 on the back today, Did not slide at all on the hip, and makes high speed, speed checks scary.

Just about as low as a 2.0 mac2. Tones lower than my 2.1 sb0

Slides soooo easy, can even slide on rough pavement now

I was catching up with an old friend last night (a long time BSD rider that I won't name drop) and we were watching all the recent BMX edits from the past year or so. It was pretty mindblowing to see how far BMX street has come in the years since I stopped (about 06). Crazy lines!

Between that and all the recent peg discussion in this thread (prior to the debate regarding a certain Mr Pilgrim - I don't come here to argue) it's got me thinking about grinding again as it's the only thing I really miss from my BMX days.

So I'm gonna order the DMR peg kit thing for my forks and see if I can scrounge some pegs off someone. Prob remove my brake and get some hub guards too. I doubt Sapim Race spokes would stand up to concrete abuse Razz

I don't want to run a shitty G-Sport Gland so any ideas what I could use instead? Keep in mind I have 20mm axle up front.

Was it Jersey? I bet it was Jersey.

The fact that he lives in Scotland makes me want to say Kriss Kyle, but everything else points towards Jersey.
