Looooooved it. I wouldn't call it a park or a street bike whatsoever though. It was really fun on a dirt pack, but let me down at the park. Bare in mind that's mostly the fork's fault. The lowest it saw was a 110mm Rev, still pretty jacked.

Thing was very fun in the air, and gotta say, one of the most overlooked alloy hardtails. Think they look really good. That year of STP is without a doubt hotter in my eyes than the same year's P.3, and that's a tall claim.

Really can't think of a downside. I built mine as a DH bike originally, then tossed my 36 on it and used it as my everything bike.

new stem more DJ

and a spot of gnarly;

As an everything hardtail? Do it up. As a street/park/dirt bike? Look elsewhere, suggesting a Deity Crypt.

Hop 3's are a pain. Need to practice more to get them back!

I finally figured them out last year goofing around I could always 3 but just barely tapped at the end so I just tucked the rear end and BAM flat 360. I didn't practice enough I got hurt again right after so they were inconsistant.

I'm not typing 2 names and a hyphen, but I'll give you a choice; would you rather me call you Pierre or Dude?

I have decided on P-Luc. If you don't like it, too bad! Hhahahah.

That's perfect haha!

On the topic of 360s, I can flat 3 any bmx but I can't flat 3 my Maj, don't stress it out, if you can 3 drop and 3 on jumps its all you need. Unless you wanna 3 over things..

Yeah I have never been able to consistently hop 3 any of my bikes. Been able to do them here and there for about five years, and when they work out they look good, but for whatever reason it just doesn't happen consistently.

Mr. guancho-libre has the nicest hop threes i have ever seen on big wheels though, bar none. Watching him 3 into a bank is like poetry.

f*ck hop 3's seriously. Sometimes they come round all sweet, two wheels and nosed in. Other times they're back heavy and horrible. Quite possibly the only trick I find easier on bmx.

Can't do flat 3's to save my life, can pivot 720 front and rear if I have the speed and flow at the time, personally after having a good few years on a bmx and having moved to 26" because convenience at the time was the way decision I ever made, just couldn't get on with a bmx like I do the Babah

As your hoping kick your frame around with your back foot very hard but at the same time your going to want to pull the bars towards you and then make them do a big rotation like your trying to stir soup with your stem. Try to get them on scooters and you'll learn the form for it. It honestly works. I dont care if you hate scooters it helps alot
