Welcome to the site, the rides are looking good and only advice would be to pull the bars back a little/a lot  :daumenhoch:

A useful guide to bar positioning from bitd...

MartyC cheers for the lesson on how to set the bars :coolsmiley: as i stated im still learning and i wont be jumping anything just yet. *bars will be moved back a tad* not a lot though :daumenhoch:

The Sekai is having problems just now as its cracked so i may split it for sale or re-build not sure yet :-\.

Magna, Thanks for the nice words, the sekai was my first bike on my return on bmxing so i cant bring myself to sell it which i should do really.

BMX love :smitten:, deano

Magna, can you tell me anything about the Sekai? What  year or how popular they are etc...??? Please

As im not sure what to do with it, ie split + sell or have welded and powdered/chromed.

Not just Magna anyone that knows out that can enlighten me.
