Dirt Jumping

[konablack]

Dirt jumping is so much different from doing drops in urban landscapes...

Mostly dirt is the one used to take off and to land on to...

There are some popular dirt jumping spots like UP and the fort Sabak track...

So if ya' have a big space in you're crib then build a small dirt ramp...

do you usually sked trips for mtbikers who love dirt jumping and trials? usually (or mostly) they organized expedition (sort of) for xc and dh. i'd love to join them, the problem is my bike set up wasnt built for that sort of trail.

Some organize rides to UP or to the Sabak Track were the dirt jumping spots are...

About trials it's difficult to find someone whose really in to it but, I know some guys here like Louie pasaway, Alien Scream, 5mm (Jeevers my partner on trials) and more...

the only problem I see here is the location...

So tell us about your bike, the specs or pics so we could do a full diagnostic on your rig...

i have the guts during my bmx days..... I dont know if I can still do it again on my mtb...... I tried that small humps sa sabak race tracks..... did a semi table top jump..... my friend got it on cam..... pangit walang elevation..... maybe I have to lose some weight..... I just dont know how can I lift my self..... I weigh almost 75kgs..... I really want to try that big jump on sabak kaya lang baka pag bagsak ko...... my bike will break into pieces...... anyway try natin ulit...... I'll be back to square one.... start on small jumps to smaller ;D

[konablack]

I haven't tried it yet, doon lang sa mga humps, sa subdivisions hehehe...

I hope I could try it, but before that I'll need the help of the dj3 fork I'll have to wait

Yup, also think of how to land and all that stuff...

Haven't been to the fort sabak track, if I have time I'll go there...

big air will come eventually, do not rush things. always remember to master the basics first, then try to do some tricks.

hi guys!!!

I'm trying to build an all-purpose bike, one that i can use for a bit of travelling and heavy urban punishing with dirt jumping. here are the parts line-up i've thought of so far....

Frame: SC Chameleon or DaBomb XLR8R
Fork: Marzo z1 DO or Fox Vanilla (depends on budget, really)
Hubs: XT or hybrid (DaBomb rear and XT front)
Rims: Sun Single Track

Pwede na kaya yan? Can it stand abuse? I want it to be as light as possible sana....I weigh 120lbs or so.

Your thoughts and suggestions will be highly appreciated!!!

[alien_scream]

i'll got for the following:
SC chameleon
DJ1 or 2 (pre '04 models)
ringle or XT hubs
alex DX32 rims

[gabe1215]

for 120 lbs sc chameleon will last a lifetime. as for da bomb xlr8r its also a tough frame. either way youll be fine, actually a good choice. dj2 or dj3 both '03 models, k? about the hubs i suggest xt. a little bit pricey though. go for the alexrims, tough son offa *%#@! i got a pair of em! just dont complain bout the weight.

just my opinion

[alien_scream]

alex are lighter than the double tracks!!!!!!!

[gabe1215]

i agree. not bad for a double wall thick alloy rims

[jovellcheng]

[glow=YELLOW,2,300]Try Da Bomb rims. I'm a 200lbs person but I can't destroy it.[/glow]
