After a few months of thinking about it, I've finally taken the plunge and bought some NS tech to see what the fuss is about. I ain't about to be pulling 360's on the jumpbox anytime soon, but was hoping something half decent would improve my riding compared with the OS stuff I have.

After seeing something I really liked the look of for a very good price, I bought my first brand new BMX since 1984. Delivered last night, and I just had a 2 minute play in the back yard.

FOOK ME! It is amazing to ride! Was thinking it may take a while to get used to new geometry etc but I felt 10x more confident on this than any of my other bikes. Light, strong and feels right to me (Apart from the crap seating position). Can't believe I waited this long, love it!

Nice!

This isn't the "dark side" though - that is riding on wheels made from plastic.

Spot on there! Don't think I'll ever ride on Tuffs again, feels like you're on jelly. God know what Zeds are like to ride on

That looks Awesome! Once you've ridden a nice new school going back to tuffs are like riding on jelly. Lovely ride

I thought the 'catalogue' photos of this model were just very cleverly taken with great lighting, but no. Your pics prove this is one good looking bike

Beginning to think that after only 5 minutes on it. The OS bikes are about to be retired to lake rides and drunk meet ups!

Yep Diggler, tight jeans and badly fitting hat on order

I am liking this. It looks stunning in black. The only thing I would change is the post for a longer one. I just can't get my head around the new school slammed seat look! Besides with my fat arse on it it would look like I've made it collapse!

I really must finish getting all the bits for my new school condor.

That pic is fookin ace Mr Diggler , i thought it was Mark for a mo

well he did say he had to rest his ankle for a bit

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #23 on:** January 07, 2012, 11:13 AM »

Tis looking a sweet machine

brakes work better i take it then the OS stuff

you do miss the knee to seat - this is when you stand up and ride, take one hand off and use yer knees to hold the bike by the seat - it's just not there anymore

swiching back and forth from NS to OS will do yer head in

as they will feel different each time

watch this then go ride

WINI · « **Reply #24 on:** January 07, 2012, 11:26 AM »

Oh yeah Bendy, brake is mustard! Still really want a front brake though, just doesn't feel right without one

I know what you mean about the seat too, contemplated an OS seat so my soon to be 39 year old ass can take a rest every few minutes

Think it would look stupid though so I'll get used to it.

Watched the vid, looks like just another session at the Boardroom.

When us lot aren't there
