frayz, for what you are learning to do you gotta expect the odd bump or 2.

if you dont fall out/off then you are not pushing yourself hard enough to go that bit further

Is it saturday yet?? have had enough of work this week.

Seen em before mate. I think their kit is really nice and well made.

Could have the buggy repowdercoated black or maybe even a nice gunmetal colour and go for a black seat, orange straps and orange rims.
