    So I'm a one month rider and I was wondering if you could post your favorite tutorials that has helped you. I am trying to get the manual, 180, the backwards wheelie, and more of your favorite moves for a intermediate riding I guess.
  5. Have you seen Danny macaskill? If you want to do that kind of riding get a zoot or fourplay or a element. I was positive that was what I wanted so I went along with buying it. It was well worth the money it came in looking great. I bought it from tartybikes.co.uk. I have had it for a month now and the only upgrades I thought were necessary was new grips and brake pads in the back. But you don't need any thing right away. I think it rides better than my friends adamant that was twice the money. It also is very light.
  6. Alright so I do that then is the rim will be ok? Or will it be weak?
  7. Well How could I clamp it. Sorry my camera isn't working.
  8. Well im 14 and I have been riding on and off for a month now. First I practiced rear wheel hoping and wheelies. Then I practiced pedal kicking. Then I practiced pedal ups. I then was able to jump down for curbs small walls and now picnic tables. I also slowly learned how to do a full 180 stopie. Now the latest thing I have learned is how to ride a bike backwards. Also consider I only rhode in weekends mostly.
  9. What defines bad? Thanks
  10. I had my tyre pressure as 25 in the rear. I have the stock tryre for my onza zoot 2010. I was riding home after a long day of riding and I was going down a huge hill and speeding along at about 15mph and I try to hop a curb but fail cause I was tired. I hear a bing and now I have a dent in my rim. Any ideas how I should get the ding out?
  11. Hello this Is not urgent but... I would like to learn how to get up about 2 feet/ about 0.6 meters on a pedal up. I can only get up about 6 inches or 1 ft/ most curbs high.
  12. So I got my heat sink yellows for my onza zoot 2010. The bike is running all stock parts in the brakes. So the problem I am running into is that there is to much rubber? When I put them on the Only way to make them work was to let the pads rub at a wierd angle. Is ther a way to make the pads rubb well? Is it bad that the pads are that way?

    Hello I'm a street trials rider on my Onza zoot 2010. I'm starting to do drops and more peddle kicks, and I noticed the stock brakes were slipping a large amount. The zOot has vee brakes correct? Well anyways I don't feel comfortable with the slipping so I tried grinding my rim. Nothing special just took the paint off and it didnt seem to help much. So please tell Me a good brand, so I don't have to buy new brakes. Also this is for my rear wheel.

  20. So I have a garyfisher mountain bike with front suspension and 21 gears. I usually ride the bIke jumping curbs doing wheelies... It's a fairly small bike and heavy bike so I would like to make it lighter and better for street and dirt jumping. So I think I should get a new chain and take the derailer off, that would shave a bit of weight and save me from putting my chain back on every time I do a nice dirt ramp. In order to make it single geared, would I need to change the whole rear tyre or can I buy a gear to fit it? Same with the front 3 gears.
  21. What are good brake pads for grinder rims? I have stock onza zoot brake
  22. When would the frame flex?
