I'm not sure really if you aiming to make it somewhere inbetween.
Luke seems to get on well with his big stem on his stock so maybe a taller longer stem is worth trying out.
It's interesting to see a bit of the riders personality and Rich Forne makes an interesting video riding or not.
Here is an interview telling you why they are doing this series of "cool story bro" videos if your still wondering why..... http://www.collateralbmx.com/news/mutiny-bikes-cool-story-bro-gaz-roey-and-rich
All these seem pretty good buys depending on what kind of riding you want to do. Second one down is local pickup though...

I just use water. Normal size TT foams on TT high risers.
I used to use dirt cheap hair spray but I could never get them on in time before the first bit of grip that went on started to dry.
I don't really mind yours Ali as the bike is so orange anyways orange tires don't really look odd on it if you get me.
I tried TT highrisers on mine for one ride and it felt awful. Didn't feel right at all. Picked those bull horns up on ebay for £20.
I like there is lots of positions for my lame wrists.
I just think we need a better rules on posting threads like having to post detailed pictures and a detailed list of all parts on full builds.
At least that will weed out the lazy people and maybe some scammers.
I've always used foams because they keep your hands cooler than rubber grips (when your not using gloves anyways).
I'll probably change mine when it gets hotter (if it does) as there a bit waxy now after having them on for over a year.
He has been riding for 2 months, is 13 and comes from a BMX background. What do you guys expect him to be doing?
Maybe putting some brakes on would help him progress with the trials stuff but if he is into the brakeless then why not.
