ha ha all these haters sayin wear a helmet some of us feel comfortable without 1 me included iv been riding since i was 4 years old and never worn a helmet iv hit all sorts of trails and jumps never once hit my head when iv fallen saying that i also race mx n allways wear a lid for that but the speed n jump differences are immense anyway nice vid m8 im picking my pitch pro 2011 up today CANT WAIT
@D33BuD If i hit drops like this now, i always wear my full face. I luckily was wearing one when i did end up eating on this drop (broke shoulder). I am sooo glad i was wearing a helmet. As for the bike, you will not regret picking a pitch.
@D33BuD all i have done is swap out all the crank chain rings for a 24t-36t-bash setup, with a blackspire stinger, now my chain never falls off ( i also swapped to a sram x-9 rear derailleur but u have a pro so u probably already have it ) and just some beat up bmx pedals i had laying around because i broke the plastic ones that came with it in just a few days
@FRHansen1 nice 1 meate i need new pedals mine came with plastic ones with stupid toe clip things really annoying wat psi have u got the rear shock at
@D33BuD depends on your weight ( body weight + gear ur wearing ) and what your riding man, when i downhill i usually run 150-160 psi to soak everything up, but if i'm trail riding ill bump it up to around 165 to lower the pedal bob, and for any free riding type stuff i run at least 170 so i don't bottom out. keep in mind i have the x fusion shock too
@D33BuD I deffinately agree. People shouldn't worry about how other people ride. Live and let live is what i Say. Are you getting the Comp or the Pro?
so, I'm torn between a Specialized Pitch or a Big Hit, and the thing is, I've got to be able to clear a series of 15-30 foot-ish drops to be able to run on all of my local trails, some of them to flat. Can I do it on a pitch?
@Eugen987654321 I would probably upgrade to a 160 fork for anything too serious. I have had 0 issues with this bike, and i have ridden it full out on downhill black diamonds at Attitash in NH, and it has taken everything i could throw at it. Ive also wrecked pretty hard on this bike multiple times, including the drop in the vid ( broke my shoulder) bike is fine, only the front wheel was slightly warped, nothing 5 mins of spoke adjustment couldnt fix though
