How To Make A Trampbike?

[Chris YZ]

Right well I made a trampbike..It was crap, I ripped it apart took the crank etc. off and now want to rebuild it but unsure of what to use. I used old clothes, some wood (Which made it heavy hint why it was crap) and lots of duct tape and I'm stumped for ideas! Any suggestions?
Thanks
Chris

you can put some old shoes on the forks

[Chris YZ]

Ok, thanks. I've got it sorted now! Any tips for a newbie?/ I can only do little tricks..Nearly got a heel-clicker down and a cliffhanger nearly.

[syme fmxer]

if u got some foam put that around the forks. and when we had a tramp bike we put some foam round the frame too (didnt hurt when u hit ur legs on the frame).

[M@R$HY]

use pool noodles. they have the best fit on the frame, they wont brake your tramp and there not bulky. wrap it in duct tape and shes all good

my tip lots of tape lol i used towles and lots of tape on my tramp bike.

[FmxJoshie]

try putting something over the crossbar on the hangers... if u dont get your hands back on trying soemthign saves u from a black eye when u bounc it into your head

[eightball]

strip the bike except for bars, forkas, frame and seat...
put foam of carpet underlay around the front and back dropouts and tape em up.

thats it.

as for tricks- barspins, tailwhips, nothings, no foot cans, superman seat grabs and seat grab indians are pretty easy. all the cool kids nowadays are throwing tailwhip combos. today i landed barspin to tailwhip and a nothing to tailwhip, so give things like that a go.

its not a tailwhip/tailwhip combo because i hurt myself trying flipwhips, so this dosent make me cool in anyway :)....but this is what u can be doin in no time easily

i assure you its a 20inch.

[unit-riders]

ohh ok its r ya fork heavy with that much stuff on them?

[FmxJoshie]

wat type of tramp do you recon is easier to use a rectangular or a circular one?

[unit-riders]

i recon thats its better with a circle 1 but if u get 1 u got to make sure its really boncy mine isent that bouncy.

[32:1]

Circle ones are gay to get run in for some reason you never get as much pop. Todd is correct tho tailwhip combos are the shiz hahaha. 9oclock nac tailwhip, reverse can/reverse can indy tailwhip, superwhips and no handed tailwhips are my favourite ones i have.

[freestyle65cc]

have a hell of alot more pading than this cause i just put a hole in my tramp.

[Brock_slur666]

circle ones are good for learning backflips n front flips and landing on ur head just playing around.....but real men use small rectangular tramps ;)

[yamaha bevin]

a lot of foam and a lot of tape
