    Haha I know that’s right. I’m still afraid to do any kind of jumps and can’t get my fingers off the brakes when I come to them

    Ask Scotty, i didnt trust them at oak mountain lol. I even said so a few times. Got to get comfortable with them. Go ride down a paved rode and just carve the whole time. Stay upright on the bike but lean the bike its self. The more comfy you get the more violent you can throw it around. Then take that experience to the trails

    Just hit up the Alabama MTB group. I bet there’s plenty that’d ride with you every weekend at Oak Mtn. I’m just assuming that’s the closest good MTB place with fast flow.

    Maybe I’ll be riding soon.

    I’ve been highly debating just ordering a bike.

    Thing is I’m also always looking for a good deal on a dirt bike so I’ve gotta keep that in mind lol.

    He’d have to have a new wheel set. So would Mark though. My fork is boost spacing.

    also they require a tapered steerer tube, and a lot of affordable hardtails are straight.
