Went out with a couple of mates last night and recorded some nice looking footage using the headlights of a Ford Focus and a battery powered LED floodlight. Hope you all enjoy !

Might do a follow up again at some point, maybe try and get a load of cars lined up. Did try out the 100fps on my camera though and got this lot the other day

I'd imagine the weight distribution is ever so lightly different.

I honestly can't tell much of a difference between this and my 06 125 SX. This bike is much more nimble but I think that's the frame design coming from the Freeride series of bikes.
I still haven't actually taken it to an MX track and won't do until I get a generator capable of charging it, so can't say how it compares when flying through the air yet though!

@Mightyman Have you noticed any difference between pulling wheelies with the MX wheels, compared to the SM wheels dude? Eg, Is one set easier than the other, or no difference at all???

I swap the same sprockets from sumo over to the enduro wheels so no difference there, but because of the bigger wheel diameter, the front will come up a little bit easier. Also, when actually trying to sit at balance point, I have to almost relearn where it is when I swap wheels every time. Supposedly, the fact that the enduro tyres are a softer rubber makes it easier to wheelie on them but I don't notice a difference in the difficulty either way.

Yeah, the bike will sit lower in the front with a smaller front-wheel, so it needs a bit more force to bring it up.
