make sure you drill the wheels out and fit at least a 5/8" axle if you want any hope of it surviving. Oh save the pedals, use the rear axle to make the front axle and slap the pedals on the end of it. You won't be able to pedal anymore, but you will have a place to put your feet.

This was up at Deal's Gap, but yeah there isn't much to do.

I also do a little fiddy racing.

they are industrial strength velcroed like a helmet cam. It's super bright LED flashlights. It's something I came up with last season because the cops were all over the dragon during the daytime and the only time I got to run hard was at night. The flashlights let me look through the corner. They actually do work well at that too.

Yeah, I run Pirelli SL26 10" scooter tires. They seem to have decent grip. It's my pit bike for track days and my parking lot racer.
