I typically run stamp1 pedals on my bikes. Got my first dj. Will stamp 1’s still be ok or should I get something else?

Hello y'all,

I always wondered what the difference is between these 2 frame geometries. Is it just a manufacturing style, or do they actually serve a purpose, and each has its own advantages?

I'm looking at getting the Bomber DJ for my new build, but I struggle to understand why the different shops have a price range from €400 to €700+ for seemingly the same model, from the same shop. What am I missing? I found the manufacturing numbers on several sites so there seems to be some difference, but I was unable to find it with Marzocchi...

Is it a big difference from year-to-year makes? New tech added? Boost-spacing differences?

I have a 2004 fox float 80rl and I use it for dirtjumping is it going to hold up?

Looking for some dirt jumps in nc and if you have location please drop it

I’m looking at a dartmoor two6player pro cosmic and a canyon 360 pro, both used, both approx 900 euros. Both not much used.

Canyon has the bomber dj fork, and the dartmoor the rock shox pike dj.

What do you think is a good DJ dad bike? I can’t wait to hit the tracks with my son.

Cheers!

Is there a good technique video showing what is meant by “pinch the cranks instead of the seat”?

Thanks in advance

Hi fellow rides,

I recently bought a Specialized p4 frame, just wondering if a) i should build 27.5" or 26" (both possible with this iframe) and b) what parts i should look at getting to keep the price under 1850 Australian dollars. From quick research to keep price under/ at 1850 AU then i need to build 26"

I’m looking at two bikes one is 21.5 pounds and one is 26 pounds does it matter a lot for a small rider

Dose anyone know how much a 2020 Marin Alcatraz dirt jumper stock weighs

Ok I'm 39 but whatever, same thing. 39M 175-180lbs

The long-short story is my 7yo loves riding bikes. He just discovered the local pump track and then the Other local pump track and skate park. Bought him a legit 18" bmx and he's getting some decent use out of it.

I myself rode BMX all through childhood though maybe 18 or 19 and the inevitable fallout from biking happened. Picked back up in the MTB world with a hardtail first at about 32yo and a really nice stumpjumper FS a couple years ago.

Now that my kid loves riding at the parks instead of everything else, I picked up a Kink Gap XL to ride around with him, thinking I could just fall right back in to the BMX world. Now I wasn't exactly well versed in freestyle park riding, but was very well accustomed to dirt jumping a variety of BMX bikes. BUT right now I feel stupid on this BMX, cant pull a single move on the concrete park, and even the dirt jumps we have that aren't gaps can be a bit unstable feeling on this. MTBs on the other hand I feel much more comfortable.

Enter the DJ in my head and the bug just won't go away. I don't plan on getting rid of the Kink, but just adding a DJ to the personal bike library. After reading a bunch through this sub, I'm considering the YT dirt love Core 1 as it's really all I will need for the foreseeable future... But right now the ST version (might as well call it the Core 3) is only $100 more, so why not right? its a Ton more bike for the money, but will I actually care in the end and/or will I look like a complete fucktard at any park with a top spec model and completely incompetent for now? I would love to get something confidence inspiring that I could grow in to and actually getting in to dirt jumping sounds awesome to me.

Am I being stupid here and should I let this whole thing go and just stick with MTB trails and mountains, and just putt around on this BMX I have? Or get that DJ and learn as much as I can?

also any other bike recommendation is appreciated. The YT just seems like a killer bike for the dollar

TL;DR
7yo son loves riding at parks, pump tracks, small jumps, etc.
40yo dad doesn't feel good on a BMX anymore but does on MTBs
40yo dad wants to get in to a DJ (YT dirt love core1 or ST) with currently no DJ skills
is 40yo dad an idiot?

And I am not sure whether to change it, or actually get one myself.

Short story, I’ve had a spawn bike for my son, and when I saw they had a sale, I bought a Spawn Kotori 24 for my 8 year old son, for his birthday. Suddenly i saw there’s no gears. Found out it’s a dirt jumper. Now I could trade it for another bike, but here’s my feeling: I want to get one too, and have fun with him on the (paved) pump track. There’s also a dirt park not too far from here.

But gents…. Is a father in his late thirties an idiot to do this? Or is it ok to get into?

I’ve looked at a few options. Labomba pro (new frame due to recall) with a few upgrades for 730 eur, is that an ok deal? Or should I look for more options?

I don’t have too much to spend, but I also love good gear 🙂

Cheers!

I am 6,3 and I found a transition pbj for a good deal but it is a large. I know these frames tend to run longer. Should I pull the trigger?
