BMX and MTB Thread

Some sweet rides here

Here's the MB I am currently riding, mostly runs me to the beach but I do hit some trails around here with it:

 

Nice man!

Found this today thought it was kind of cool.

I watched this video years ago about "Why I Ride" and it was awesome. It was a BMX based video and then i found this one recently and thought it was good too (i dont know how to embed it in the post haha, i tried and it didnt work)

 

did a ride from Venice to redondo this morning on my Haro.

 

That's awesome!!! I wished I lived in so. Cal. .....I'm so jealous!!!!

 

I felt little artistic today lol


Me and my buddy found this boat on the beach by marina del Rey so had to take it.

 

......I hate you, lol

 

Thats a pretty sick picture dude! I miss california sometimes haha!

 

This is the park I usually ride. I cant wait to get home and start riding again!

 

Nice I haven't ridin in a park but one of these days I will.

 

I love it. Finding a park with good flow is a great feeling, and growing up on trails i love the flow of going fast and blasting huge air haha! The park in the picture doesnt have good flow but is closest to my house with a good spine and pipe set up. Plus I can only ride trails about 3-4 months of the year in WA due to all the rain.
Where do you live in CA? Maybe I can recommend a good park near you to check out that ive ridden before.

 

Ive got a 2011 transition blindside, fox 36 talas fork, Fox forget what in the back, Shimano saint brakes, Sram- x9 front shifter, Shimano saint rear shifter, Hammerschmidt crank, Azonic outlaw rims, Forget what tires they are 75$ 2.5 inch mud ones, 800mm 7000 series Aluminum handlebar forget brand, e13 platform pedals with 7mm spikes (locked and loaded i do not move), I wear 5 10 freeride shoes. Use a fox water pack i think thats about it.

Love the bike. Love to ride. Haven't gone in months though due to work schedule and when i have had the time its been too slick. Red clay soaking wet is kinda fun but so slippery its pretty dangerous. Summertime can get back into it though.

Ill post some pics once i go take some.

 

Damn dude that sounds awesome! Definitely post some photos on here when you get a chance.
What kind of riding do you mainly do?

 

Nice thats cool! What kind of riding do you mainly do?

 

Haha thats awesome! 20" are definitely tough on the knees i agree. Haha kids always want to do what dad does Im hoping when i have kids they want to get into BMX.
I grew up racing and riding dirt jumps. Slowly got away from racing and more into freestyle and riding park and trails. The local trails scene in my town was huge so we built every day and had huge 20-30ft lines. Then i joined the Army, sold my bike and moved to WA. And after a year of training and finally getting to my new house i think i lasted about 2 months before i found a new bike haha! It was a Wethepeople. And the only thing left from that bike 3 years later are my wheels haha!
I mainly ride park now since it rains so much and in the summer ride dirt jumps. Im still on my 20" and love it. But im slowly looking to get into mtb also for dirt jumping and trails. It looks like so much fun and a little easier on your knees and wrists.
When i get home(currently deployed) ill have to throw some photos up on here.

 

My score last year:



86 General Fred Blood. 90% original even the grips and tires. I've upgraded the wheels and brakes.

Others I have are a WeThePeople DareDevil, 2012 SE Quadangle, 2001 Haro Mirra, 97 Torker TFX (and scooter in matching color scheme).

 

I hit up Whistler every summer.

 

That's bad ass. I've always wanted to make a trip up to Whistler!

 

I still love to ride a little flat on my Haro Dave Mirra signature bike and hop around on my new trials bike but mostly ride my 26" DJ / park bike.
Other fun stuff like skateboarding snowboarding surfing power kites on land or water / snow and moto X is still on the list of activities.
At 51 I'm still pushing it pretty hard but nothing like the pro kids now a days doing flip-whip to bar spin can-can 360's
I just rode the caverns in Louisville KY the day after Christmas then went to Santos in Ocala Fla
I'm working on trails in my back yard when the ground is not frozen. Until then I travel to Ray's MTB Park in Ohio every few weeks.

 

Gotta say I love me some bikes!
And trucks. And beer.

 

@Uncle Jimmi Dude you are definitely pushing it pretty hard at 51! Thats awesome! I hope im still able to at that age. Those trails look sick! I havent really played around with 26" too much. The funds just arent there right now sadly. Im all about cruising the bowls and local trails when it isnt raining here!
@Jahyota Haha those are always a great mix!!
