Only ride uphill.
If you have to ride downhill, do it backwards.

Try putting the smaller wheel closer to the camera.

I see why you ditched the Id. What's it weigh? Do any climbing on it, or is it just for
shuttle runs? -

Send that abomination to me. I'll set you up with a pre-distressed Diamondback X2; complete with
matching wheels (depending on how it's photographed! 😉 -

No idea. Heavier than the Id though.

Yes, it climbs pretty well considering the fact that it's a pig. The Curnutt shock eliminates a
surprising amount of seated pedal bob. -

That's the only thing that scared me away from a dual crown. I just got the biggest single I could
find, a dorado SC. -

Think so too. I've always wondered how bike mags get the bike to appear standing but never really
bothered to find out or ask. Just assumed Magneto has a day job too.bloocow
Pete airbrushed out the spider monkey holding the bike up.

No, but one time the compression damper took a core sample of my knee when I spun the rear out of
the saddle. -

Run 1 1/8" tires. Makes all the difference on the big hits.
