don't know anything about angelfire, but it should be an ok bike. Might be a little tall, but no reason you couldn't be competitive on it.

I agree with Fulton on all points.

I was kind of wondering about the height...

It all basically depends on how comfortable you are on the bike. If you ride this bike all of the time, can jump it and feel good on it, all should be well. Go ride, have fun and do your best.

I'd just drop the seat and call it good.

i'm not sure about the geometry, but the mere fact that it stands itself up right has gotta count toward something, maybe it just floats so you'll never crash



















yes... i noticed the branch holding it up, but i'm tired, bored, and easily entertained

Indeed. Go ride it and find out.

Put a 24" rear wheel in it to lower the rear end a bit? I would try that if if were mine... but I'm sure it won't hold you back if you race it as-is.

I used to race a Superlight for Slalom and it was nice. I think you will be AOK!
