Frame is or was a new geo to the world to see, what is it 1100, 65, 380-3? If you don't like this one does not mean you won't like some other geos. Are you nailing taps yet? Just take you time. Ride few weeks, if you can't get hang of it, but still want to experiment get something shorter with lower BB like Echo control (cheaper version) or Speerace Fans. And it's not all about static moves, need to role it baby!
