FMX Mods

[Wired]

everyone does mx mods, what do you guys do to setup your quad for fmx. just curious


first thing i do is monkey around with the suspension, i try to stiffen up the shocks a little bit so i dont bottom out on hard impacts.

i also run a lower tire pressure, this helps take a little impact out of hard landings and i feel more comfertable approaching a ramp if its smoother.

i usually run my handlebars as high as they can go. i like feeling comfertable standing up and not having my back croutched over. i want to be able to correct anything wrong that happens right off of take off. standing up in attack position works best and feeling comfertable standing is VERY important for when i ride freestyle.

muhaha i feel the same way and everyone bashes on my quad because of its high bars, i love em, there awesome bend, if u stand up on a cr, and look where the bars are to your body and then stand on my quad its about the same difference, the seat is lower tho

man I should get a longer stem. I agree with you about the bars because i'm 6' 2" I make my quad look tiny and i'm always hunched over. I can't even touch my handlebars if I stand up strait with a strait posture. I would get atv bend bars but I got some long arse arms too and the atv bars always seem to be closer to my chest. I can't wait tell I order a +2 length and +1 forward stem.

On topic though I don't change anything besides maybe a little foot work on the lip or rutts on the face of jumps. I can't wait to try some stuff this weekend.

Im not Jon Guetter but I can do the simple stuff....

.No footers
.No handers
.No footed look back
.Can Can (kinda corny)
.No footer TO No hander Lander
.Nac Nac
.Cliff Hanger
.Workin on the cordova- with my new TAG's it makes it easier cause they are pretty low bars.

But I usually check the face of the jump before I hit it, like Il roll right to the top of the lip and see if its gonna launch me or is it more of a speed jump then air. Other then that I pretty much do what you guys said.
