26th Jun 2005.

The day, where did a crazy jump off the steps around COURTS area.
It was his 1st jump off steps.

ok so yesterday me and Pete meet up to go riding after lunch. Decide to go to Khatib for riding at 1st, but we end up cycling to Sengkang. but before going there, me and pete went to have a drink at the famous Sugarcane stall in Ang Mo Kio, [think so!].

While we were cycling, i spotted a very nice steps to jump off, sooo i showed Pete theres some steps for him to try out. Since he's a beginner, I, myself, should train him. hahha..

ok.. soo i told pete that i wanted to jump of the lovely adorable steps... he was shocked that i really want to do it... soo i gave him my porch to hold, then i went to the other end to prepare for the jump.

Feeling kinda uneasy at 1st.. coz its my 1st time doing such 'crazy' stuff! b4 i go off, theres this man behind me watching what i was doing... i wonder why! haha..

"tap, tup,tap,tup!" that is how i felt while doing the jump....

*Bam!* woah!! i CLEAN that jump! everybody around there was looking at me! wahh!! 'limelight' for a moment.......

Buying your first mountain bike!

For many people buying that very first mountain bike can be a traumatic experience. There are all sorts of new words, unfamiliar technologies and marketing gimmicks to contend with. Also the price alone is enough to send some people into convulsions. This guide is designed to help alleviate some of those anxieties and allow you to make a more educated purchase decision.

There is quite a variety of bikes considered "entry level." The price range for these bikes are $600-800. Yes you can find cheaper bikes, but cheaper is the key word. Also there are hundreds of bikes over $800, but unless you know you will love the sport, these bikes may be more than you need.

Assess Your Needs.

The single most important thing to do before shopping for your first bike is to assess your needs. Are you planning on riding this bike exclusively off road? for commuting to work or school? or a mix of both? Also important is how often you will be riding.

If you're looking for a bike for off-road use, but haven't ridden off road, try renting a bike. Many local bike shops rent bikes and can also recommend trails for you to give you a good idea of the sport. Off-road riding is a very different experience than road riding.

Next read as much about mountain bikes as you can. Reading this story is a great start. Pick up some mountain bike magazines. Most have sections dedicated to the beginner.

How Much to Spend.

Deciding how much to spend is a tough decision. As a general rule, the more you spend the better bike you get. The biggest difference between a $600 bike and a $800 bike is the components (shifters, derailers, brakes). The more expensive, the more durable (at least until you start getting into the high-end where lightweight often reduces durability. Many first time buyers buy a low-end bike and later upgrade the components as necessary. Another school of thought is to buy the best bike you can afford and save the hassles of upgrading. It is cheaper to buy the components on the bike than it is to buy components later and upgrade.

A good way to save some money on a new mountain bike is to buy last years model. Just like cars, bike manufacturers come out with new models every year. There is usually little difference between one year and the next. You can pick up last years model starting around the August and September months. Of course selection is usually fairly limited when buying last years models.

A Good Dealer is as Important as a Good Bike.

When you visit a bike store, it is important you find a sales person who is knowledgeable and you feel comfortable talking to. When you're talking to sales people, ask whenever they use words you don't understand. Try asking them a question you know the answer to see what they say. If their answer isn't to your satisfaction than find someone else to help you. Also ask them what they ride. If they are primarily a road rider than you should probably talk to someone else. A good salesperson will listen to your needs and help you find the best bike for you.

Visit as many different bike stores as you can. Each one carries a different selection of makes and models. The quality of the store is also important. The store you buy your bike from is responsible for assembling it. A poor assembly job can make for a very poor riding bike. Make sure you feel comfortable with the competency of the staff. You want a store that you will feel comfortable brining your bike back to for work in the future.

The Right Bike.

Test ride a variety of bikes. Try bikes in the low end of your price range and the high end and feel the differences. Try bikes with different components to see which you like best. Larger stores have more of a selection and are also more likely to have a model in your size available for a test ride.

When you take a bike for a test ride, try to take it out over more challenging terrain than the parking lot. Ride over curbs, gravel roads, grass, etc. Get a good feel for how each bike handles rough terrain. The dealer should allow you a 15-20 minute test ride. Some dealers are now offering off-road test rides. These are the most helpful.

It is important that when you buy a bike and test ride a bike that the bike fits you properly. For a mountain bike you want at least 2 inches of clearance between the top tube and your crotch when straddling the bike. You also want to make sure the seat is at the right height. You want your leg to be almost straight when sitting on the seat and your foot is on the pedal at its lowest point. If the bike store doesn't have a bike you want to test ride in your size, ask them to assemble one for you. This will take a few days, but it is essential that you test a bike that fits you properly.

The two popular ways for determining a bike's sizes. One way is to measure the seat tube from the center of the bottom bracket to the center of the top tube. Another way is to measure from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the seat tube. Frame sizes will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer so try them out to see what is right for you.

The most common materials for mountain bike frame manufacturing is chro-moly and aluminum. Chro-moly offers good weight and strength properties for recreational riding. You may also find some entry level aluminum frames. Aluminum is lighter than chro-moly, but not as strong so you usually find aluminum frames to have larger tube diameters to add strength. Aluminum tends to cost a little more, but also can save around .5 lbs. Both metals make excellent frames. In the higher end bikes, you will find more exotic materials like titanium and carbon fibre. Both offer great weight savings, but neither is cheap.

Make sure the tires on the bike are appropriate for what you want to use it for. If you are going to be riding mostly off road then look for large knobby tires. If you plan on doing a lot of street riding than look for tires with fewer smaller knobbies. A good dual use tire has a ridge in the middle of the tire for low street resistance and has mid sized knobbies on the sides.

There is a big debate over shifters in the mountain bike community. This is really a matter of personal preference. Essentially there are two types of shifters on the market today: Rapidfire and Gripshift. Both shifter types have a strong following so try them both and see which works best for you. Rapidfire shifters use buttons/levers placed under your brake lever. With a flip of your index finger or thumb you can move up and down your gears. Gripshift works like a motorcycle throttle. You change gears by turning the control on the handle bar grip itself.

The seat's comfort is also an issue, especially if you plan to do a lot of road riding. If the seat isn't comfortable you will pay for it on long rides. You can get seat pads and padded bicycle shorts help, but it is best to get a seat that is comfortable in the beginning.

If the seat is uncomfortable, but you like the rest of the bike, ask the dealer to replace it. For that matter if there is anything you don't like on the bike, see if you can swap out different parts. Of course if you're looking for a more expensive part you will have to pay the difference.

It is important that you find a bike that you feel comfortable riding. Once you have a bike you think is the one for you, take it for a couple more test rides. Make sure the ride is smooth, it shifts easily and that the braking is tight and quick.


thank you.

on the previous post i discuss the topic of how to get more speed... seriously.. its fun, u guys out there should try not to use your brakes unless you are about to hit something BIG! haha. that works for me.

ok guys, so its nearly reaching the 1 week of school reopens ya? Have not been taking our bike since then. Our timetable was so different from each others. Thats a buMMer! But don't worry, we'll try to ride at least once a week alright. haha.
Our DownhiLL Bike Owner, (Mr.Gary) has plan to get himself a new set of bike. He's planning to rip off the old parts on his $750 DownhiLL bike an attach it to the new bike. How Cool is that? yea! haha..

Now i wonder, where is he going to put the both bike at? hahah..
I, myself, for past few days have been craving to have a jump off the stairs. hmm, maybe not 20 steps yet! Just a lil 3-5 steps for practice. Then, went the time comes, i'm equip with my helmet, the 20 steps down is going to be fulfilled. How cool is that? yeah! haha..=) sounds crazy? Neh!! its fun! try it! haha.

And, i'm planning to make a video of the stunts that we RiderZx make! All we need now is a camcorder or a digital camera. Anyone wants to volunteer to sponsors us those?? haha..
well, the only guy that have a digi camera right now is none other than our Mr.Pete!
The Secret to Speed

Hold on to your seats, I am about to give you the key to unlock all that latent speed that you know you have inside. One phrase. Are you ready?
Don't use the brakes.

Don't look so disappointed. What were you expecting, Magic? Now just a second, before you reach for the back button let me explain. I don't mean to not use them at all, just use them less.
One of the best ways to improve your riding is to go with someone that is faster than you. Not way faster, so that you get discouraged, but a bit faster, so you really have to work to keep up. Now that you've found someone that fits the bill try following him (or her, that could be fun too) through some downhill singletrack. Notice how the gap keeps getting bigger? You're not doing much pedaling so it's not likely a strength issue. What could it be? I'll tell you, the faster rider is using their brakes less.

Have you ever been on a ride when, for some reason, you had no brakes, or a lot less than you wanted? Maybe a cable broke or your rims iced up or something. I know, it was scary. Careening downhill, unable to slowdown to a comfortable speed, you thought you were going to die. But you survived, and you went down that hill a lot faster than you otherwise would have. If you want to go faster every ride you need to harness a bit of that experience and apply it in a more controlled manner.
The problem is that this involves moving out of our comfort zone, and that can make us apprehensive. To try to calm the fears of your irrational mind have your rational mind tell it this: Speed is our friend; Speed brings stability; Stability is good. The wheels underneath do more than just hold us up. They also act as gyroscopes, like those spinney things you may have played with as a kid. Also, the things that keep spacecraft stable in the vacuum of space. The faster a gyroscope spins, the more rigidity it has. This means the faster your wheels are turning the more they will fight to stay upright and pointed straight ahead, just what we want. Now you know why sometimes when you get anxious and slow down you biff, but if you stay fast and ride it out you make out OK and look like a hero.

The hard part is knowing how fast is really too fast and when to say whoa. You can set yourself up with an exercise for exploring these limits. Find a section of downhill singletrack, steep enough that you don't have to pedal much and fast enough that you definitely have to brake for the corners. Now, keep IMBA happy and make sure you won't encounter any hikers or horses on the way down. Make your first run at your normal blistering speed. Try to note where you apply the brakes for each corner. On the next run, each time you reach for the brakes fight the impulse for one second. Remember that every bit of speed that you can carry through the turn is speed you don't have to gain back on the next straight. And that speed you don't have to gain back is energy in the bank, my friend, better than money. A little bit saved every corner can really add up over the course of a race.

In all your subsequent training runs try to brake just a tick later than the time before. One tip to avoid the temptation to brake too early or when you really don't need to is to ride with all eight fingers wrapped around the bars. Don't have one or two hanging over the levers just in case. You know where the brakes are, you'll find them if you need them and this will give you a more secure grip. If there's a corner that you have to just barely brake for, try running it with no brakes at all. Just keep all your digits clamped on the bars. Remember, keep your head up and keep looking well down the trail.
The key to pushing the envelope is to do it gradually, in small increments. Riding a downhill with your front brake disconnected may make teach you how to go really fast. More likely, it'll teach you just how brittle collarbones really are. Even though improvements may seem small one corner at a time, it will add up and it will make a difference. You worked way too hard for that speed to just turn it into heat for no good reason.

sooo, whatcha waiting for?? try it! hahaha

2 of the RiderZx Inc. members went for riding today at 1200hours. Set off towards Yishun for a cruise and to Woodlands's Causeway Point to check out some bike accessories at XCraft. The journey towards Woodlands was very challenging though. The hill was a pain in the ass. Both of us have some fun time b4 reaching Woodlands. Both of us were racing each other. CooLz. =)
The Fox gloves was a dream for us. As for me [ZuL], the Full-Face Helmet is the dream! haha.

After a few discussions with the members, we have decided to come up our very own polo-T with our Logo printed on it. Now, all we need is the budget and some sponsors for us. The shirt will come in 2 different colors, as for now. They are White and Black. We hope too to come up with more colors, and more design.
Finally after a few months of confirmation with the 'authorities', we, RiderZx Inc has started our own postings. Its for those riders out there to read and to know more about us. RiderZx Inc consist of a few members. A few members that makes the ride full of happenings. We hope too that by posting this online, we could get some feedbacks from all the bikers out there in the world. No matter where you are.
