Motovintage, What front pipe is that on your mont?

hi if you take 2 of the big logs, of a fairly similar size, lay them 'almost' parallel with each other. At one end have them close enough that you can have only one wheel in between. i.e, you cant fit a bike between them, and at the other end you should have a bike and a half length between the logs. Use dirt or more logs to support them, another log laying on top at right angles will give you a bigger obstacle. My friend has this set up in his woods and you can spend hours trying to go back and forth at different points along the logs

hi there i know exactly what you're talking about. I'm alway doing the same kind of thing. i end up talking myself out of being able to do something. But i think your right when you say its all mental. If you know you could have done it a year ago, nothing is stopping you except you mind. I try and always watch a better rider go through before me, thenn you just have to get on and do what they did wihtout thinking about it. My friend told me a good techinique for this kind of thing. try and picture what you have to do after the upcoming obstacle. so if your faced with a big climb that looks a bit scary, think about what is following it, say, how you plan on descending back down the hill, something like that. so the theory is if you think about what next, then you dont talk yourself into failing on whats in front of you, because you have told yourself you need to get past it. Maybe difficult to explain / understand. but it works for me. The key is to visualise yourself beyond where you currently are. - does that make sense? other than that. If your really not having fun because you seem to be trying to hard. dont try as hard and remember why you put yourself through all this - its meant to be fun!

just checked out that candywheels website. you should take a look on there they have some really nice looking stuff. and just ordered some bling from jitsie. Cheers guys!!!

hi to all...... just bought a 04 sherco and would like it to look like the one i saw a youth rider on recently. from what i could see he had anodized gold bits all over the place, including gold rims that looked the nuts. does anyone know where to go for this kind of stuff? and / or what would it cost to anodize my rims? cheers olly
