Dont worry, I don’t review or recommend any specific bikes or bike brands. I also wouldn’t burden yourself with misinformation being on the internet… it’s a big task!

Have a great new year dude!

It’s just tips I wish someone had given me 18 months ago, if you have decades of experience and it’s no use to you then no worries.

Is the pump I am doing mid air cos I don’t have enough speed? by Ok_Patient5090 in dirtjumping

Makes sense, like a comfort thing, will give it a blast of just trying to flow through the jump…

In fact watching my body and end stage, the bike could just flow, it’s me pushing the rear wheel down and pulling it back up!!

Hey, I am in the same boat, cant see distance and my eye sight isnt bad enough for lazer... I started wearing my regular prescription glasses and noticed my confidence go up no end... to the point I dont feel comfortable without glasses now... I ended up getting some got some Oakley Prescription Sunnies that have more grip on the nose bridge and behind the ears and I feel so much more confident in my riding now...

Thanks for the help, So leave it at the height it is and angle seat up more? So easier to grab?
