jumping the full box at my local, just hard landings and drops etc.

first time snapping cranks today, thankfully wasnt hurt and got an old set of cranks off a friend so im still riding.

i have a n4fl front hub that i got second hand laced to a hazard lite. replacing spokes on it is so tedious and i couldn't imagine lacing a whole wheel with that hub. also, my wheel is laced 4x so its likely the best cross for lacing is 4x.
