BMX and MTB Thread

That tire combo makes it look pretty sick!! We got a couple decent places to ride, mostly single track. I bet up where your at is pretty dam cool. I ride when I can....providing this Midwest weather cooperates I have a nice specialized fsr xc pro.

 

Yeah its pretty nice up here! Awesome places to ride..when the weather holds up for us too. Damn rain most of the year doesnt help the BMX scene very much but the MTB just powers through it. Cant go hit 20ft trails in the rain on a BMX haha.
Is your bike full suspension? I was looking at the specialized P series for a hard tail.

 

Nice thread. I ride a BlkMrkt Mob. Mostly street (yes, it has pegs on a 26!) and some DJ. I also race DH and ride a 29" Intense for training.

 

Thats cool man! how do pegs work out on that? DH is awesome to watch! Be awesome to do.

 

Another old bmxer checking in, but I'm not kicking myself, I kept my original PK. My son rides it occasionally, otherwise it hangs on my wall.

 

Nice thats awesome!! Thats good youve kept it.

 

Yeah it's a full suspension. The model I have is just below the entry level epic. Or at least it was when the epic first came out.

And yeah .....down hill would be killer to try!!!!!

 

Dude that is so cool!!!!!! Especially that your kid rides it. I have my old frame, I've tossed around the idea to rebuild mine every now and then

 

Thats bad ass. Probably more than a couple thousand for that thing huh?
Yeah watching videos on DH just looks awesome..hauling ass down a track looking like youre on the edge of control and out of control.

You definitely should rebuild it! thatd be sick!

 

Yeah I paid like 1900 ....and that's before I swapped out a couple things. That's back when I had more dough to blow!!
I don't know if I'd have the balls for that downhill. ....ahh maybe I would. But then I see a video of a guy eating it and I'm back to being a puss. Lol

 

Damn i dont even have that much into my BMX, only about 1200-1300..and that was over time haha. My mortgage likes to take most my money now haha, trying to save over this deployment to get a bike and other goodies! Hahaha i know exactly what you mean, im like "man that looks awesome" then see someone dude eat it and like nevermind ill stick to dirt jumping haha.

 

Yeah I'll admit it, it was kinda nuts to drop that kind of money on a bike....but it's badass!!!
Basically, I had the money, I knew I'd use the shit out of it, and you only live once !!!

 

Haha im sure i can definitely justify that! Cause i know ill use the shit out of it!! Just need to look more into it and see what brand i want to go with and all that.

 

Having all the protective equipment really helps your confidence. Some of the people I ride with joke about it, but I started racing MX in my early teens, so having it on just feels natural to me. Plus, I cool off way faster then I heal . DH rig - Santa Cruz Bullet;

 

That thing is sweet as hell.....and beefy!!! I'm 6'1" 180. Are there guys flying downhill as tall as me?

Oh hey, my apologies if that's your wife or gf......but those are some sweet boobs!!! And, you gotta post a pic of your 87 4runner!!!!! Love those first gens!!!!!

 

Just take your time to get what you really want..there's so much out there.

 

Here's mine

Had to flip it because it's hanging from my ceiling

 

I love the mid to late 80s and early 90s freestyle stuff. I don't always ride a 20", but when I do I ride this




It is a 1988 RL20II and is a great ride. Feels big for a 20". If you guys are looking to find info on old bmx/freestyle stuff and great resource is the bmxmuseum.com It has everything you want to know and more. Just like this site, it will eat your money and not look back. Be warned.

 

They work fine. I have a BM rigid fork. I fabricated a disc brake guard for the back. I do get funny looks but whatever.

 

Yeah i agree. I always wear a helmet and my shin/knee pads. Have to protect my tattoos haha I have those g-shock pads and so far they work really well!
That bike looks bad ass man!

Yeah that and need the money too haha!

I didnt notice the hooks til you mentioned it haha. Your bike looks sick too!

Damn photobucket at work wont let me see them. Yeah ive checked out bmxmuseum.com, its pretty cool, they have a lot of stuff on there.

Nice dude thats cool! I bet but who cares what you ride, as long as you like it. I never got into pegs, and ive tried multiple times over the years haha. I grew up on trails and started riding park and just never got into street that much.
