WOW!!
In tems of upgrades there is a lot that can be done.
We will start with pedals. At the moment it looks like they are plastic!!! (please excuse me if I am wrong and they already are metal)
I suggest spending $40 on a pair of metal platform pedals with grippy pins.
Then there's the forks. On yours you can see the marks where they bottom out!!!
Taking a look in the trading section I found some Marzocchi Dirt Jam Pros for $100!! GREAT BARGAIN!
Also, there is sure to be a spare 'zip tie' lying around the house. When you find one i suggest you tie all the brake and gear cables at the front of your bike together.
LIAM?!

Fuck buying new pedal's man ^^ most of the plastic pedal's out there are as good as average metal one's and only cost like $5-10 not 40-whatever...

As for upgrading what do you think you need to upgrade? What arent you happy with?
Personally I would buy some Juicy 3's or 5's new or even second hand, some BiLT zed pedals($25), new stem, and some forks(maybe a pair of dirt jams, there always cheap here on farkin and run fine after some adjustment)
Good luck with it.

OI leave the kid alone EVERYONE starts somewhere he is just asking for some advice This doesn't have to be a shit fight.
I rekon the first thing your going to brake/want to up grade would be the rims.
When you are first starting out that is the thing that takes the most beating. You can pick up a nice strong rhyno lite rims for about $99 each. You can get them form any bike shop through dirt works: http://www.dirtworks.com.au/newsite/images/stories/cataloguemtb/09SunRingle_LR.pdf

I'd reccomend buying a new bike, you can get a STP 2 second hand for $600 these days and that would be better for trails and dirt jumping. Otherwise if you really like that bike upgrade the forks, shifters/brake levers and brakes.
Those look like metal pedals to me, look at the scratches on the side of it looks like paint scrapes to me.

Ill give this guy 3 days max.. hope he shows us scars when he gets hit by the banning stick! :)

Check his post history, it's really quite funny seeing how many exclamation/question marks he uses to 'emphasise' his dribblings.

Yes i know, ive been keeping track of him. 34 posts per day, useless one liner dribble going on what others say and worst of all, the THREE threads he posted up on hitting 10 year olds with a shovel.
