I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

ya i dono i guess its decently light..well if you are going breakless get it, itll fit your steeze better, get the purple one too haha shits clean. =]



as for the grip theory..
ive never tried boiling them yet? (i want to boil my pads though)
i always just use hairspray on my grips its gives you enough time to slide em on then the stuff dries and is like glue, quite nice.

oh and im from visalia, CA what about you?

I boil the grips then use Renthal grip glue. I had a throttle grip once in my life, and that was before I used grip glue.

Buy a shovel and keep it up on the hill (fiberglass stays the best). I'm up for digging anytime after work. Best after a good rain (like now).

Better than a foam pit is just a jump with a soft unpacked landing. Then you put mattresses on it to learn.

But ask Boob about my reactions to "trick" jumps at the trails.
