^Yeah, I don't like the look of their straight-angled dropouts, looks ugly and strange., but still the whole bike looks great.

Well judging by his front wheel my calculation was:

20" + 3" of tire x 2.7 (roughly how many front wheels fit into the wall) it's about 150cm..fucking huge in other words.

I like his bicycle too.:D

Not that tall. Maybe 190cm or something.

A huge hop though.

Yes but he only has to hop to the height of his pegs, or did you factor that in aswell?

yeah just reading in the dec ride bmx mag and that bike is the new odyssey wild or something think that. it says : "Odyssey's wild, new straight leg forks on a bike. Lighter and stronger and more durable than a regular fork". and with his height, he wouldnt be 150cm, im 167cm tall and im a short arse for my age (16). so i rekon around the 180cm mark. cheers for reading this crap.

A BMX rim isn't actually 20" the diameter of a rim. 20" was an early approximation of a 20" wheel with what we would consider a small tyre. Infact, sunrims are measured as 406mm (on the rim tape surface), or 16.5" across the whole circle, so it would be a bit less than 150cm

Well, you know America? It's somewhere in there.

Even then i'm not 100% sure. It could be anywhere in the world. He's a pro, so he goes places.

The bike looks cool.
But it needs some suspension, and then it will be cooler.

yep, then he'll have one of those stupid old ironhorse bmx's that had front suspension, or the multitude of kmart offerings with shocks. it'll take that much to realise, it never worked for a good reason.
