yeah ive done downhill abit, never owned a proper down hill bike though, my mate had an orange team DH which was f'in mint but real real heavy, funny doing jumps on it though,

ive got a DDG shooted (+15 year old) jump frame which is alright suprisingly 14" jump frame, but as for an all round bike i use a norco bigfoot,

but my bmx is a subrosa salvador, not been riding for long, getting the hang of it now though, ive got 180's, fufanoos, foot jams, and 180 fuffs down now,

whereas my mate can land footjam tailwhips!

i used to ride afew years ago but ive grown out of it. used to ride a WTP setup, mainly all the bike was bits form them lol

rampworx in liverpool (i think?) is a good place to go, all indoors so rain or shine its allways open :thumb:

yeah, i need to man up and go ride an indoor park, but i hate them when they are busy, and always think im not good enough, really contemplating making a mini ramp soon, should cost about 250 to build,

my mate rides brakeless, im riding brakes but for 180s etc im getting used to not covering them lol before i make the big leap,

its weird i find riding fakie (which i can barely do) alot easier if im not covering the brake!

max you just get used to it when riding brake less the amount of times i have done a fakie without brakes and pushed the bike from under me.. lol

ive been riding for about 12 years, have built a mini ramp in my mates garden and were digging out more for a whole skate park.
can put up pics of the mini being built, ill get some photos of what we have and where we are digging out for more ramps.
Anyone who drives a nova is welcome, maybe you'd be able to persuade my mates that they're not just for chav's, lol
