    Modifications/Other/Extras:

    Cut my bars, seat post, and fork steerer tube. Nothing too crazy.


    So this frame is a split for you and fellow Wethepeople team
    rider Max Geartig, seeing as both of you guys are tall, is there
    anything design wise that caters to the vertically gifted riders?

    Not really. It' (TM)s a good all around
    frame. We' (TM)re doing two sizes, 20.75' and 21.3' . So there is definitely
    a size for the taller guys.


    How was sharing a design with someone else? Did you guys have any clashing ideas?

    It' (TM)s worked out good. We both liked the same dimensions so was
    easy. Max is over there with them so he made sure it came out perfect.
    From what we talked about to what I' (TM)m riding it was dead on. They did a
    great job.


    Your bike is pretty light, but it handled a
    few goes at El Toro and plenty of other big moves, too. Needless to
    say, strength is still a focus for you when setting a bike, right?


    It' (TM)s real important. And both companies I ride for both feel the
    same way. Strength first, weight after. I don' (TM)t try too hard to keep my
    bike light anymore. It kinda just works out.


    Your bars and seat are pretty low for tall guy. Do you see any specific advantages?

    My bars are a lot taller then they
    used to be. I went from riding 7' bars to Max bars that are 8.7' . It' (TM)s
    a little different, but my back feels a lot better. As far as the seat,
    I like to keep it out of the way for whips and stuff. I keep it just
    high enough the get a little pinch for barspins.


    You' (TM)re running really fat tires, too. Is that to help land smoother?

    I have been. Running a 2.25' in front for a while now. The back end on
    my frame is extra wide. I can run a 2.25' with plenty of room, so I
    decided to try it out. It feels good so far. I don' (TM)t know if it makes
    landing smoother, but it definitely feels good for wallrides and stuff."
