I think I just love all types of full pipes.  I have rode the Louisville one before and it is really awesome because of the bowl it is in.  You can get some really good lines that end up in a high speed carve in the tube.  The only smaller diameter ones I have rode have been "in the wild."  And they were long so you could carve back and forth forever.

Found a few I forgot about when I was looking for Model C pictures...


This is on my 21" Tree Little Buddy.  It was a sample frame I bought from Tree when they were testing out some different frame options.  Mine has a 75 HT, Spanish BB and a wild dual cable routing system.  And it was pink.  Loved that frame. Still have it, too!


This was my first 'dirt specific' bike I set up.  I built this bike up because the 4 pegged, freecoaster Tree was coming back all fucked up from the trails after every session and I was tired of cleaning it and making the brakes work again.  I sold an old video camera and BAM- my love for riding multiple bikes began.  This is a 21.25 Doyle.  This was also coincidentally the last session we had at Honda Hills in Rochester NY before the main guys started a new spot the next summer.  We only rode this berm as a quarter this one day, but it worked so good!  Perfect session to end on at Honda.


This is probably one of my favorite pictures on the Doyle.  This was such a good hip.  RIP X-Dreams Skatepark.

One-handed table photo is so awesome. I would be interested in pictures of the routing system on that Tree if you ever get around to posting them.

I don't think I have let a good one fly since this hip.  I need to sack up and try them more.

They were on the trusty Myspace!!  Didn't even have to dig through my garage.  Overall I was very stoked with how my brakes worked on this bike.  They pulled very effortlessly when compared to dual cable set ups I had rode in the past.  I also never ran into any issues where the cables were damaged being exposed the way they are along the underside of the TT.  Interesting idea, but it is with out a doubt not for everyone.


Basically the idea behind this set up is to have as little cable housing as possible.  This creates the least amount of friction on your cable pull.  



I used Nokon cables to try and add to the frictionless feel.  It also helps allow you to run a shorter bend on the cable from the gyro to the stop on the frame.  (plus Ruben rode that shit, dude)



I used some inside housing on the Nokon to make the cable not run against the welded on barrel.
