Did a little refresh to my Dirt Jumper recently. Changed all the accent parts that were orange to red. I also created custom fork and wheel stickers that are like the original, but have my branding subtly embedded into it via colors and background texture. Took a bunch of fun photos, but here are 4 of them (as limited by Mastodon).

The funny thing is I originally bought this bike in 2019 and the only remaining part left from the original bike is the fork and headset bearings. 😅

Few daytime photos at the skatepark using my iPhone. 🙂 The winds were kind of crazy today and so I didn't get to ride as much as I wanted so I just took a few photos. A big gust of wind blew across the side of the bike while I was in the air and my wheels acted like sails and started to rotate the bike from under me. 😳 Definitely a pucker moment and decided it was best to keep 2 wheels on the ground.

@mark I assume the long loop of brake cable around the stem(?) is so you can 360 the handlebars?

@sdjmchattie yes. Something I haven’t done yet. 😅 But I practice them on the ground hoping to one day be able to.

@mark nice. I know nothing else about performing stunts on bikes. I guess if the bike is already tipping sideways because of the wind and you’re about to take a fall, you can at least look cool by spinning the handlebars for the first time.

@sdjmchattie haha. If anything isn’t going right, my last instinct would be to do anything besides stay calm and safely Landon bail. 😅
