To the op, your bike looks great. Props on the swinger conversion! Constructive criticism; I'd bet that the mismatched rims / lack of a fork swap may hold you back some. That said, your bike is way nicer then my 696 and I'd love to have it!

lol, yeah i kinda ran outta money when it came to doin the front end. And i figured the disk rotor covers up most of the front rim that not many people would notice its a different rim. My buddy bugs me about it all the time though haha. the fork swap will come eventually, not sure i can justify it before the contest ends.

ooooo snap!  [laugh]

Seriously, the next gen bikes are starting to grow on me. I biggest issue I have is that they have styling

The first gen bikes were so... well, bland. You had a lot of ways to change them for the better. The next gen bike already have a look so it's harder to alter it.

Just about everything you could mod on the old Monsters, you can probably do with the new one. People just haven't done it yet. People have been modding the original since 92. Give it a few years and we'll be seeing a lot of trick things.

You can call BS all you want. I watched the play by play like everyone else.


Again, I will restate that your comment is not in any way factual. The owner of the DML had nothing to do with the contest, he never had any employees and I could go on from there but why bother?

Maybe you're confusing the DML with some other group. But I don't know, nor do I care.

...I just can't convince myself to vote for anyone that puts an extended swing arm with a huge rear tire on a Monster.

The extended swing arm one doesn't look as bad now.

Good lord what happened!?! Did this guy get like 20 votes overnight? Sheesh there goes my chances, maybe there will be a wild card entry?

xskiervh

...then again maybe I should enter my bike under the pro category seeing how there's no entries for that category yet.

Are you a pro? If so, then that's where it should be. If not, then of course not.

Raux

but it does make me wonder about a couple of those bikes in the amateur category.
