240-ish "360"

Getting my old mojo back. I can't spin full 360 in the air and land on a manual like kids these days do, but I'm old enough to be their dad so cut me some slack. MTB rims have come a long way - I destroyed a couple of Rhino Lite rims practicing this trick about 20 years ago. This rim (whatever DT used for their FR2050) is still spinning true after a few botched attempts.

 Nice work Katz. Makes me want a light weight rigid bike to play on. I really want one of those direct sales Chinese carbon frames to build a super light commuter. I did recently buy myself a new Norco Sight Carbon frame and build up a new bike, which I'm really happy with. Hope you're well. Blair.

 A light rigid toy bike will be an excellent addition. Much easier to do these tricks to impress kids and enduro bros, while leaving your spouse/dating materials a lasting impression that you're going through mid-life crisis ;-)

The Sight seems like a nice bike. Post pics, please. It's interesting Norco changes the chainstay length depending on the frame size (which makes sense, actually).

 I'll have to figure out how to post pics here or something. In the mean time, here it is in action a couple of weeks ago.

 I see you color-coordinated your bike and shirt. You fashion ho. The bike seems to be serving you well, and you sure know how to ride it!

 @KatzT:

Not quite. The shirt is too dark a shade of orange to match the frame. I need to get a shirt the same shade as my shorts..... But when I wear the shorts and the shirt together I look like a creamsicle..... Especially with my orange half lid Smith helmet and orange lens Smith goggles.
