A mate showed me this vid which instantly sparked my tiny brain into summoning up the boys for a 16" wheeled DH day at our favorite location. Top gear styled budget of £100 or beg, borrow, steal. Items from your shed are allowed but no shop sponsors (few mates work for Trek or bike shops)
Will we all be killed?

Flipped it twice already 😳
Needs spds to be a proper deathtrap.
Brilliant - I can understand why you'd flip it!
Awesome! There's no two ways about it.
And my white shoes Stu? Cheers peeps. I loves it.
Like it, I haven't seen a BMX with 2 brakes for a long time!
We need some footage once this is rolling. Have you tried any micro flatland?
I'f your racing it you'll need your racing shoes. 8)
Ive just cleaned them Stu. Hopefully the DH day will be filmed. After polishing the rims the brakes are as effective as holding out an open crisp bag so if it goes a little past the wheelie balance point, it slips out from between you're cheeks like a bar of soap 😆
Oh and its not a bmx any more, its a micro DH rig 😉
Garden looks shonky in the first pic 😉
& Yes, we will all be killed & I've got further to fall 😳
Saw that vid the other day and after thinking it looked quite cool, my mind turned to thoughts of "now who do I actually know stupid enough to think it's actually a good idea when all is said and done"...
Case closed!
😉
Yes, shinsplint's garden does look shite 😆 he collected it for me X
Any excuse to mess with bikes Mark. I wonder if I could beat you down hill on your full size bike ❓ 😛
I has mowed it today ready for photo sesh with my new toy this week 😆
Hope you grouted and weeded those flags while you were at it. They'll attract the wrath of the garden police and no mistake. Original vid is ace, can't wait for yours!
I want my stickers back 🙁
Ha, no chance. Plastered all over it like a 11 year old would do. You can have the wooden cock n balls back if you like 😆
That is going to kill you. Don't blame us when you're dead.
Very low bottom bracket. Should be planted 😯
Extreme testing (in a field)

the swede you are playing with the devil doing this sort of thing!
i fear it will be a sorry outcome for yourself
I wouldn't worry about TheSwede.
He's quite used of injuring himself for the amusement of others. 😀
fairhurst, I bet your party's are wild. We're not doing the Red Bull Rampage on them!
Stu, every day and in every way, I'm getting better and better. just like Frank Spencer 😉
Watch out for spectators

Yours will not be a party doing what your doing on them bicycles!A&E is your destination.

Photocopying bums at work and keys in the bowl at home after a Bacardi breezer?
If I am killed, you can say I told you so. If It is a great day out, a bit of fun and no one is seriously heart, then you sir are an apprehensive, overanxious ass.
Fairhursts house, yesterday 😆

Now I feel guilty. We will be careful. We are riding trails that we know very well and will be appropriately protected and blah blah blah

Quality thread!

Just take a look at this absolute disregard for safety. His father should taken that bike of him and had a nice safe game of scrabble or kerplunk in the house. Crazy ❗

How did you get the stem on a threaded steerer? or is it a bodge?
The stem is an original part. Wedge type that drops into the fork steerer. I just removed the gyro and fitted full size bars into the existing stem. I'm struggling to set up the headset now though. Either too tight or comes loose after 2 mins.
Swede - why in that party pic, is a guy taking a dump in the corner of the room?
You know it'll end in tears!!
