Whoops section?

tjscott2012 · 08-10-2008, 01:51 PM

How does your guy's bike do in the whoops section? Im thinking of putting weaker springs in my forks to make my bike even better, but right now, my bike kills in the whoops section. Any suspension tips to make it even better?

... your front end touches the ground? j/k

i think you are supposed to pretty much wheelie though them not sure though

You can wheelie through them and lots of people do but you are actually supposed to have your front tire just clip each lip of the whoop to make sure it gets popped up and lands right on the next. Otherwise you will be in for a big screwing.

yes front going to bottom of whoop sucks...

tjscott2012 · 08-10-2008, 02:56 PM

yeah, i try to let the front forks lay on top of them

TJ, do not disregard your suspension. You may think it is awesome but it is really crap compared to what it could be. If you are going to be keeping the bike, have the suspension revalved for your weight, riding style, and riding skill level.

my suspension is great tig, it could be a little better, but ive ridden new race bikes with top knotch suspension and it was great, but i dont need it really

New race bikes??? What do you mean by that? It does not matter if they are new or old, what matters is that it has been specifically tuned for your weight and riding style. Nothing else matters. Why do you think that good riders will always suggest suspension mods over everything else first? It can prove to increase your times the most on the track. Trust me, it makes a huge difference.

he is right... if you can trust your bike to go around a turn faster won't you take the turn faster?
if you can jump farther you will jump farther right?

i dont desire any more from my suspension, i like the way it is set up it probably is revalved for my size, the guy i bought it from looked about my size
