$20 says this rides like crap


Two things:
  1. Most people who focus on building knife-edged cosmetically perfect dirt jumps do so because they either don't know or don't care how to make good ones.
  2. There's a reason that lips and landings at even the best trails in the world are still wider at the bottom than at the top, and why berms are nicely curved from top to bottom. There's a reason there's a soft line between riding lines and bail-out lines. And it's not just because the builders are lazy.


One more thing:
  1. That roller: no pump. Way too small to accomplish anything. It's a perfectly shaped speed bump of inconvenience. 


Okay, seriously, one more thing:
  1. When one of his so-called friends chainring-cases the side of that hip landing, the look on this guy's face is going to be priceless.

  1. Dirt Rag just reviewed it and said it was the smoothest ride they ever had, the timing was like a swiss watch and the hump was a pump!
