This trail is more about flow than straight up Fromme style NS.

well all the structures are drawn up first but improvised on site. all depends on lay of the land etc, we know where we wanna go but sometimes it doesnt always work first time if built off a plan so its just easier to know what you want to build and then build it onsite.
yeah those pics of yours are pretty interesting, can definitly see the benefits of figuring out all of the physics.

I'll keep a look out in the forums to see when your site will be up. Thanks for the offer to help me build, but I don't even know what I want to make yet haha. Just seeing what's out there right now. I'm mostly going to be making boardwalks to cross some boggy parts of the bush though.

Hey do you think you could get some close up photos of your new stunts off that cliff? I'm looking to build some NS and seeing how you link pieces together would be greatly appreciated!

What I really should ask is what are you looking to do with it? If you want more of a 4x ds trail bike the Transition Double is a better bike. I have both and they have their specific uses.

Well I ride it very stiff so it pedals like a by, handles like a by but when it comes to stair gaps, jumps and drops it has enough give to take the harshness put of landings. I did a bunch of research on it and the team riders set it the same way. When you sit on it there is no sag and if you push down on it still the suspension does not move. It is a bike for the guy who loves a street style dj by but wants a little give. I have tried it with a dhx air and its overkill. The float r is lighter and has the only adjustments you need. My build comes out to.31lbs with front and rear xt brakes, fox float 36 rc2 lowered to 80mm, Deity stem and os bars, Deity v2 cranks 25t animal chainring, Azonic outlaw front wheel, rear Hope SS hub 12th cog laced to wtb lazerdisc fr rim 36h, Macneil pivotol post, primo slim seat, Deity seatclamp, table top rear tire, small block 8 2.35 front, Dirty grips, fly ruben pedals and fly barends. Lastly CK hs. But probably going to a bb7 or juicy 7 rear brake only.
