[kona]

i just got these new maxxis tyres...they are max daddy's....they are monstrous tires....heaps grippy and i got the for $39:00...

[kona]

who rides maxxis tyres here? if you do wat you think about them

[m@d_FMXER]

yeah i have one max daddy on the front but its s*** to have on the back

[kona]

its ok on the back...but it does take away a little bit of speed...i like it on the front!! :) why do you think its shit on the back...it also makes the bike look beasty if you hav them on the back and front

[m@d_FMXER]

it looks good but unless your always riding in the dirt like nastazio its crap, cause on concrete or anything like that it doesnt grip you need something a little less nobbier and 50% of bikes cant fit max daddys on the back because of there brakes. where do you ride kona and what type of riding do you do. what kind of bike do you ride

[kona]

here are some pics of me riden my baby....they arnt that good but i thought i would throw them up anyway...

[kona]

[twisties]

you doin the pro already huh? man your better than me! thats a bugger, i gotta try the pro next time we go n my bike is in working order. was that on friday?

[m@d_FMXER]

man you can kick some ass that double is big, once i learnt that step up before that and i was doing it all day and i overjumped that little step down tabeltop and i had no brakes and couldnt stop so i went over the step up and came up short, snapped like 10 spokes and bent my forks like 90 degrees fronm were there supposed to be lol.

[donald]

yer but there bmx race jumps there not hard at all especailly with padding. and save up for a teribble 1 frame norcos suck

[fmx_kid89]

how often u go to castle hill bmx track kona ive been there a few times i wana head back down there!!

[kona]

i didnt hav padding on donald and norcos are some of the tuffest bikes around...why do you think norcos suck...wat bike do you ride donald..?

[fmx_kid89]

norcos are fricken sweet bikes!!!!

[rm_rider224]

norco seem to be alright not, everyone can afford to have a custom bike. and if you are only learning or whatever there is really no point in having a custom bike i think because its not like you need the lighest or strongest thing on the planet because you wont be going heaps huge or anything

[m@d_FMXER]

i go pretty huge and i find norcos are tons strong and the double konas doing in the photo is hard, the frame is the best on norcos but forks and hangers may need changing, you sound like a pretty good rider bagging people out wheres the proof. what kind of bike do you ride rm_rider224, and scotty cranmer rides a felt and thats a racing non custom bike and hes like the best rider in the world

[kona]

speakin of hangers iv been havin problems with my headset ... like it moved a few times when i cased the double in the photos (which is none as the pro)...iv put my bike in and they are doin something about it....and tell me why norcos suck rm_rider224...give a reason as well as a critasism...

[rm_rider224]

first of all i never said norco suck i ride a dragonfly to that dude that asked. i was just trying to say to that guy that said he should sell it and buy a Terrible one frame that not everyone can afford a custom bike and a less expansive bike will do nearly every rider.

[m@d_FMXER]

wheres some pics and your bike is sick man

[rm_rider224]

i will try and get some tomorow when i go to me mums

[rm_rider224]
