    I agree with you completely. I rode with a Try-All undrilled rim for
    about 3 days and I had enough with the weight. I now ride with a nimbus
    undrilled rim since it is almost as light as a drilled rim, but still
    stronger. (I broke 2 rims before, a KH and an Alex DX32)

    Weight? I ride a crmo frame (2.24lbs), profiles, a DX32, and I can hop
    higher than MOST. It's mainly a mental thing. Then again, you are 16,
    and possibly lighter/smaller than me (i weight
    144lbs/5foot8-1/2inches). I'll give you that-- even though the weight
    between drilled and undrilled is not much.

  2. The point we were agreeing on was that a light rim is helpful for flips
    and spins. Hopping you will not notice it to much.

    Yeah, weight has almost no affect on hops. I'm not really into this
    jump as high as you can thing. I'm more about fliptricks and such.
    Weight has a HUGE affect on Tech Street tricks.
