So after beating myself up this past season on my BMX bike, I found that I actually jump much better on a 26" bike! And i cant race my 20" in dual slalom for Mizzou!

So i finally picked one up last week! Still all stock for now, but I see bars, stem, chainring, hydro discs, and single speed in its future.

Here is my new 2007 Giant STP (Frost Green)

Nice, you're going to have fun on that. If you're going single-speed, I see no reason for hydro discs. A rear, cable operated disc is more than enough for the dirt jumps.

I really do love this thing though! I am progressing so much faster with Jumping now that im off the 20" BMX. I love the BMX for park/street, but dude this thing is killer for dirt!

Looks like you have a cool trail location, parents are a good sign. I figure it they're accepting the trails should last a long time.

Yea, that shot there is a local spot in St. Louis. It is officially legal per the city, and free!

Cant get any better!

And the trails are killer with probably 6 or 8 completely different line-sets of jumps for ALL skill levels. Its an amazing place to ride, learn, and progress!
