If only that cassette was on an alloy carrier....

@davechopoptions: Bahh.. I got my Acolyte and Advent mixed up. Sorry

@davechopoptions: Advent X cassette + 11 spd Shimano mech + 9 speed Sram Shifter = solid 8 speed drivetrain. The only letdown of this combo is the Microshift cassette. It isn't nearly as nice as a premium cassette, and it's a little flexy....but it is all steel so it's fairly durable.

Shame about the significant price jump from the previous edition of the 161.

The best jump advice I've seen is the trampoline analogy. Regardless of suspension setup, think of the jump face as a large trampoline. Just like a trampoline, as you compress into the trampoline (jump face), if you remain stiff, you're at risk of being thrown around in the air in whatever direction your stiff body is biased towards. Think of jumping into a trampoline where one leg remains stiff as you drop and load into it, and the other leg/hip is loose. All the spring in the trampoline will send you off kilter since the force will transmit through your one leg which is off center from your center of gravity. Conversely, if you load your body on the trampoline attempting to balance how the force goes through both your legs, then you will jump controlled and straight and your height will be determined by how much you compressed into the trampoline and then 'boosted' off as it springs up. The face of a kicker/jump is like a trampoline. If you're stiff as you go into a lip, the front wheel will compress initially and then unload as you continue up the lip. Your weight will drop back then into your rear wheel as it continues up the lip and as you leave the lip all that force built up will be transmitted to the rear of the bike and you will begin to pitch.

@lkubica: Air pressure seems correct to me for the older style Boxxer based on my experience. If anything his pressure seems a little low but that's probably because he's using 3 volume tokens.

I thought flat out, single line, risk it all bike park tracks were what you pros were suggesting was more dangerous?? Never forget... https://youtu.be/Ir0RdamsGik?si=75FYsmnylFudi9It&t=1h2m6s
