My friend Grizzwald has a bike, and i really like the feel of it. I really like the feel of mine too alot. But his, you dont really have to pump at all to hit dirt or park more... it just floats you. Im curious of why? he has the montana frame, and have the cartel kiraly. he has a 21 inch and i have a 20.75. his backend is longer, and he we have similar sized bars. Which is why im confused, because it feels like my bike has more of the specs that would make it float over stuff.

People need to stop asking for a BMX video game. If they did, we would all get it, play it for ten minutes and just go ride. You guys seem to forget that we aren't lazy like most skaters. If we had a game, it would just make us all want to go shred gnar.

Is his bike lighter overall? Or in the wheels? The bike being longer might change it, too.

Nope, he runs his tires harder then i do. But he's right, they feel allot different. I think its that my frame geo is different and my bars are .5 wider with a big cross bar. Plus mine is blue.

well i've got a friend who had the same frame and similar parts as me and he had profile mini's
i've got proper wheels and his bike is 18lbs and mine is 19
basically we were both running fit fafs but my bike was so much faster because i was running mine at 110 and his were at 80
