I wear DC, got hooked up by them a few weeks ago. Stoked! Rocking the "Tactic mid" for riding. It's BMX specific shoe, works a treat! smiley4.gif

 

I own The Riot BMX shop, which my brother (Greg ) runs during the day. While he does that, I work at Mikes Bikes in Greenside. Mechanic, sales, receptionist, pump track builder... you name it... I do it smiley36.gif They're also helping me out for the '10 DH season, hooking me up on a 2010 Glory frame!

That was a bitter 3rd... fooked up just metres from the line. Stupid mistake. Oh well, that's how it goes! smiley36.gif

 

As far as a "secret" goes... ha ha ha! Honestly, you have to want to go fast/win in order to do that. I know that sounds basic. But that's all it is!

Wanted to ask this to someone who does relatively well. How much of difference does new DH tyres make compared to almost slick worn out ones. At least confidence wise?

CRC buddy. CRC.

 

LBS tech told me it was bent. I guess the 203mm rotors will bend a bit easier as they are more flexible due to their increased size.
