WOW! more pics of bike built? that looks so good. THE best limey i have seen.

echo lite is way better than the onza's. BUT.. you want an echo lite without... echo sl forks echo bars echo pedals echo brakes if you can find a second hand echo where someone has changed these parts ^ for stronger and better ones.. youll be quids in. adam93 was selling his echo lite with dual hopes i think.

Hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!! Poor lil bugger

well if they are streety riders it makes the tyres roll easier, saves weight i suppose. not sure whether it improves grip or not.i would say improves in the dry, makes worse in the wet maybe.

i quite like the ol' schools.. the sperminator muffy the vampire layer Laid in Manhattan and of course the timeless classic.. shaving ryans privates.

what sort of axle are you running? and will it be strong enough? looks cool though, vid of some tricks? i may do it to my inspired

had a bit more luck today with it. managed to get myself looking over my shoulder at the rear wheel. ill have a play around over the weekend and get another quick vid on monday-ish

HAHAHA! "can i change parts on this bike?" HAHAHAH! that sounds like something you would ask laurence...

vid added (i think) hope the link works constructive critisicm please ... or just critisicm if you'd like? haha

your struggling to learn pedal kicks but you can get up stuff 3ft high?

2.5 hours a week isnt much at all so it may take longer to learn stuff. keep practising the rear wheel hops and focus more of you attention on learning the pedal kick. forget the bunny hops and 180 pivots for now . once you get the pedal kick down your progress will shoot up.

i see loads of lines when im out and about. but i dont normally start threads about it (as to not seem a bellend.. im just having a laugh)

mate! your 360's off of stuff are insane quick! awesome to watch.

laurence.. china has a completely different rule book to europeans. and their creativity is apparently limited when it comes to mechanical things, thats what japanese people do better. that why you buy japanese motorbikes like honda instead of the poor chinese replica "hongda". china can copy something (car, motorbike, bike frame) make it for alot cheaper, then sell it for a little cheaper and the profit margin is way bigger. money is the driving force, not design. why make something that may be shit, when you can copy something good... granted chinese replicas are exactly 95% of the time.. SHIT. so chances are that frame snaps. lol. it does look absoloutly b-e-autiful though!

i know that bit.. haha. im fine practicing on concrete, its just sometimes i land with the bike lent over to the left and im still and off balance. the head turning part is my downfall i think. ive landed quite a few smooth ones where instead of fakie out i roll back slightly then put pressure on the pedal to pivot 180 out on the rear wheel. (hope that makes sense.) ill give the head turning job a go and let you know. thanks for the advice

Ahh, what im finding at the moment is that i carve to nearly 90 degrees before i even jump. Ill see if i can get a quick video for you guys on wednesday night. As to what ali said.. Yeah i do tend to land leaning on the bars and with plenty of pedal pressure, ill try loosening up a little and leaning back. Thanks for the help so far guys!

ahh ok, ill get a video up probably within the next 2-3 days. im doing it on an brakeless inspired element, same one i'm selling haha. but if I start nailing spinny tricks quick enough... I may end up keeping it and getting rid of my echo.

oh sorry, Ali im left foot forward, and spinning to the right mark.. in your 24:2011 vid.. didnt you say you cant land 180's properly? haha only kidding

ok so today I started doing 180 bunny hops. so far i'm not doing bad... roll up to the point I want to bunny hop carve to the right, bunny hop and manage the 180... now one of two things will happen... 1. I will land whilst leaning to the left and my left foot will go down.. or 2. I will land ok, but on landing I have lost all momentum and when I start pedalling backwards to fakie.. I just go nowhere. I've had one or two where i've pulled a real nice smooth 180 then had momentum to fakie out.. any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong? I may be able to get a video sometime if needed? any help is much appreciated!
