    I know why Tomsey is so good at backs and why Shaun owns at normal
    flips.
    It has to do with the gravitational pull. Like how the toilet flushes
    in the opposite direction down there. Well its easier down there to
    flip backwards then forwards

    You really have to rely on your tucking ability then, cause there isn't
    much volume in a 12" to get good compression.

  6. you would need a strong seat post mainly because it would have to be
    extremely long in order to hop high.

    Or start using the handle bars from scooters if they fit the frame.

  9. theres been discussion before that a 12" uni would be awesome for high
    jumping with that 750mm seatpost on mdc...

    but i dont think there are 36 spoke 12" rims, so fitting a splined hib
    would mean getting less spokes but its been done, lucas rides with a 32
    spoke setup.... i guess you could do it, but ur 12" rim would probably
    break before the cranks...

  16. that looks totally awesome, monty make a 16" rim awesome...

    but its still abit stupid :P

    btw how long cranks would u put on a 12" trials? u'd have to put like
    80mm cranks... i guess koxx makes them.

    yeah get a koxx reinforced hub and koxx 80mm light cranks, and u'd be
    all set.

    still stupid. esepcially for drops... i thought ur point was to do
    massive SIF hoping

    I want to see this in detail! And maybe many others too...

    Thanks!
