Does anyone knows what other spring works for a mz 380 besides the 380 specific one? I'm looking for something good for a 122lb dwarf

this says you want either black or purple
if you're running 25% out back, go purple
over 25%, black.

(edit) fox 40 springs are compatible, i have done the swap a couple of times

Probably with something soft to land,like a huge box with foam cubes or a lake/river. Using the concepts of bmx 360 will surely help but with a dh bike you'll have to pull harder

Find the biggest jump you can, preferably a massive road gap, don't prep the jump at all, set up a flaming hoop or maybe some re-bar spikes to increase danger. Don't take a run up, just huck the 3 first go.

If you can already 3: A decent sized floaty step up where you can *happily* eat shit repetitively for a while.
If you can't: learn on a DJer or BMX first.

I've always said I wanna 3 my downhill bike... When I get on it and head towards the jump I'm comfortable I always bitch out.

Something about that big bike lol

any one from Europe having experience with buying directly from Fly Racing? I'm really liking their kits, but I'm a little afraid there will be taxes or import duties which will make a kit very expensive :p
