sothey are set up for mx, but you cant do that, or now you can? or your getting a 250f cause you hit a 70 footer first time on one. or your selling it to buy a woods quad or just gonna switch everything over to xc. Im a little confused.

Your dad sounds like a good guy. All my dad ever brought home was beer breath and beer farts.


You really need to let him know how much you appreciate it. You're never too old to throw a hug the old mans way, you know.

feels like your landing on pillows...I have to dail them in a little more....To get them to where I want them....Works is a good shock.But as soon as I sat on the EX I could feel a diffrance..then I took it out ran around the back yard track hit the whoops ect.then hit the jump and it went alot higher it seemed and further when I preloaded it.And the landing was alot nicer.All around a better ride I would have to say

my parents dont even know what elkas are, the biggest suprise i ever got was when he ordered my recon while i was at school. But the thing about it is that it was my money anyway.:mad:
