Title: Building 'em is a lot easier than ridin' 'em!
Post by: Clean on April 09, 2011, 08:42 PM
Just had my first 30 minutes of street action on my first build and I am fooked!

Hops, 180s, endos of sorts (front brakes need tweaking), pogos, down the three steps on the front door landing - narrowly missing the missus' car - crabbing across the back yard etc..

The missus was going spare, insisting on a helmet and pads (she is an orthopedic nurse, after all.....which is handy).

Have some stem flex to fix, headset needs locking back up, feet catching on silly rear standers, aching all over, and totally, fooking.................

STOKED.

Forgotten how much I knew... That sweet feeling when you know you landed something cleanly (pun intended) no matter how lame the little cross hop.

New door to happiness in life wide open!  :daumenhoch:
