Yeah no doubt there's some retouching but I mean the composition, setting, depth of field and such. A killer bike can look like shite if you don't take the time to photograph it properly. Just ask WTH.

I feel more confident in foam bit, but air bag will probably be better because youre actually landing on a surface.

Airbag, I've gotten hurt worse in a foam pit in one session than i have in 10 sessions on an airbag. Plus you can actually land on an airbag. Both are good though. I'm pretty sure I only got hurt in the foam pit because I was a noob at that point.

Yeah I think I'll swap these calipers onto my AM bike and put my X2 calipers on this bike. These are the M4 calipers, Hope doesn't make them any more and the bore caps are special edition Big Grin

These will be perfect for my AM bike, I call it the Green Bastard. Parts unknown.

I would re-lace with regular spokes if I were you. Unless you weigh 110 lbs and are super smooth, those ti spokes are going to let you down.

Both have disadvantages for most tricks imo, flips are the only trick I've learned into foam, everything else has been easier straight to hard stuff or resi. Also, I've had one of my worst falls into foam. I did a cork 7 and hit the side of the pit, (narrow ass pit) thought I was dead. I'd say between the two, I'd choose an airbag.

Narrow ass airbag would also have similar results lol it all depends on the quality of the pit and quality of the airbag and weather and everything. Airdome is like a giant greenhouse and that foam is soooo nasty. But also some airbags in the sun get really hot and dont feel too good on the skin. Also landing straight up and down on airbag is definitely shittier than foam pit. Id ride either; both are fun
