I was going to replace my old shit bike, then I started looking for deals, went on schwinn’s website and saw their xc $1000 bike. Dug a bit deeper and found the whole fr/dh world, thought it was crazy from all the freeriding video’s, then I saved up and got my first decent bike.

needed a bike to ride out to a local spot for tombstoning but my mums bike was just a bit too gay haha so i looked on ebay and therej ust happened to be a deal on a norco 125 that was local pick up only therefore no could get it cos of where he lived (quite clse to me but not anyone else). turned out he was a pro rider lol and since ive realised it was alot ebtter than i though. i thought it kinda had one brake and wheels but they turned otu to be hope on mavic and the brake was a hope m4 with 7" disc and so on lol. wa worth a bomb. then we just started rolling over this tabel top and then slowly jumping it. and now i am the best rider ever. lol

It was kinda an accident really, I was riding along in a foresty area, when i basically went around a corner and found a big jump, of course i had brakes, but your right they didnt work amazingly well, so down i went (all 30ft) it was more of a slope than a drop off, but I was like wwwwwwwooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh, and then just continued looking for things like that, then just got another bike and done even more, got to know the local scene
