Another convert to the Dark side....
« on: January 06, 2012, 02:28 PM »
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.

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

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!  :LolLolLolLol:

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

Tis looking a sweet machine  >:D

brakes work better i take it then the OS stuff  ;D

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  :shocked:

swiching back and forth from NS to OS will do yer head in  :D as they will feel different each time  ;D

watch this then go ride

Oh yeah Bendy, brake is mustard!  Still really want a front brake though, just doesn't feel right without one  :buck2:

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

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