Dexter - add street and dirt jumps to your first sentence. 24's work real good on them as well.you know this damn thread and the fact that our new skate park is so damn tight in the bowl and pretty much everywhere makes me want a 24 inch bike just for park. anyone wanna give me one? i promise to be good to it
My Fall guy rides Smooth. It could be the Yeti frame. Was it Cromo? that could make a difference.meh i tried running 24's for 2 months and just couldnt handel riding long distances and street with them. i loved the 24's in the park, but they just didnt feel right dirt jumping (could have been the frame, proto type of the yeti hardtail) an driding street was a pita, every small bump felt so much bigger and it seemed as if i was constantly pedaling. but again it totally could have been the bike set up, that thing had some wicked cracked out geometry especially after i broke the rear end a few times and it was re welded
Sounds like low b/b and slack HA .. that always makes for a slow as POO feeling bike !meh i tried running 24's for 2 months and just couldnt handel riding long distances and street with them. i loved the 24's in the park, but they just didnt feel right dirt jumping (could have been the frame, proto type of the yeti hardtail) an driding street was a pita, every small bump felt so much bigger and it seemed as if i was constantly pedaling. but again it totally could have been the bike set up, that thing had some wicked cracked out geometry especially after i broke the rear end a few times and it was re welded
Nemesis Project slammed Z-1i got some question. anyone got any alternative for short suspension fork?

I came across this photo on some NYC BMX blog last night. Looks like you got your Fall Guy a Front row seat Vas.
Brad (and/or Landon), what are your thoughts on BB height? I know you keep em pretty low. Ever thought of a higher BB like a Dobermann? Little above the axle line, just like a BMX. Should help make tables and turndowns a breeze. And, who needs the stability of a lower BB? We're not trying to race these things or win any wheely contests. I think the higher BB has been overlooked... the bigger wheels already help the stability and higher a BB would give some pop and trick-ability. Thoughts?Sounds like low b/b and slack HA .. that always makes for a slow as POO feeling bike !
check your PM's
Well funny you should mention that , Landon and I both rode the same 24" bike for a few years .. the NAMAIKI DSY( the bike that started it all and influnced the Tonic fab and many others ) this was a frame I designed with imput from Philip Lord when I was 24 and had produced at Kinesis wear Landon jsut happened to be working at the time .Brad (and/or Landon), what are your thoughts on BB height?
