craiggy1984 Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 No worries buddy Buy it,you wont be dissapointed and if you are then blame me haha,,i have a friend who is like 6ft tall n quite built,even he said it feels like a long bike....im defo not dissapointed,i love my czar,one thing you will find is that it's very hard to land on the bashring on anything,because of the high rise on the bottom bracket,it made me improve the move when u have your front wheel on a ledge/wall etc,then u jump stright upto the wall/ledge on the back wheel,don't know what that move is called though,i had to learn it better because i could not bashring to back wheel any longer,i find it sooo easy on this czar ivan,hopefully you will too good luck Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
