Post by: dordymush on September 28, 2011, 06:15 PM: i did put a reply then found this spec sheet that i went off.
although you can see he has a white kashi aero on there no an elina and he has orange mushy grips not sharp ones.
he had a few different set up though so you might wanna do something a bit different to everybody elses.

Post by: CD17 on September 28, 2011, 06:20 PM: Totally Rad rider, I remember seeing him at Rom when he was about 14 before he was sponsored on a Mongoose with Blue Tuffs, he just got so good so fast :4_17_5:

Would be great to see another rider rep, I think Cherrypicker did a great rep of that one & I think he sold it to Tefore who may still have it ???
