and notinghm man sounds good wen i start riding properly again ill ahve to post some pics of the bike and shizzzzz :y:

[Saxo_Scott]

I use to ride a lot of dirt and some park. was sponsered for a while but had my bike stolen so lost everything!

[Leedo]

hmmm let me wonder im guessing the theif was some kinda 14 year old chav!!!!!!! the ussual suspect get another man itll b awsomeness :)

[Roj]

get one of the NS completes mate. they are great bikes. I used to ride street and park on 24s but gave it up for BMX. are you on ridestreet?

[Leedo]

nah mate im not on any bike forums ill have a look into it tho. and what made you go bmx? and is that bmx dirt park street?

[Roj]

ridestreet is the mtb street forum.

and i went bmx as all my mates rode it and it just seemed more convinient for riding park. and i rode mtb park/street then bmx park/street. havnt ridden in months though

[Leedo]

sweet man im okay with bmx-mtb mix my mates are half and half lol and some of those NS bikes are nice and the spec shows there quite light too :y:

[Roj]

yes mate NS are really into street parts and frames so deffinetly a good starter. I think the street one is called the riot? but there may be a better model than that one

edit: ill have a quick look

[Roj]

shweet just realised theyre 09 stuff is out already! last year it didnt come out till like april hahaa. any of there completes are a good buy mate. just depends what your budget is

[Leedo]

i looked at the metropolitan (spelt wrong) lol and that looks swet and 14.6 kg i think it said so it seems light too but there wasnt a price on it my plan was to get the slacker ss and get rid of the v break as there crud lol

[Leedo]

ooo and my budget is only around 500 at the moment

[Roj]

V brakes are fine iff theyre set up well mate. very popular with street riders as theyre lightwight, minimalistic annndd you shouldnt be using your brake that much anyway - thats why you see loads of people riding brakeless. like i do

cannondale or scott imo :y:

probably the scott, as the componants are better, though the forks is letting it down, so you can upgrade the forks and have a good groupset aswell :y:
