    So use a shock frame and learn to take the force with your butt? Too
    hard to do? I think not!--Evan Byrne--

    Turn over the tables and watch them run. You'll be the weapon they can't
    outgun.

    Dunk

    Mine is exactly 14.4 pounds. (I weighed it at the vet)
    It probably does but only to a certain point let's say if your hopping
    onto a picnic table it would make a difference but anything under 2feet
    I don't think it matters and just makes you a stronger rider.

    What trials uni do you have?
