yea ive been riding for like 3 years now.

[spitfire7]

that was the shit. im so proud of the advancement of bmx in the last 10 years. i was into bmx flatland freestyle tricks along time ago, but i rode skate boards longer. im 100 times better on a board than a bike now, and would rather skate than ride. but id rather watch bikers. strange. to me skatebording hasnt advanced as much as bmx. dont get me wrong skating has its strong points and teck tricks, but it seems like ive seen almost all of them. with bikes sence i havnt ridden in such a long time to see what they are they are doing blows my mind. with skating sence i stopped 3 years ago, at that time it seemed like i had seen it all, and when i see it now it hasnt changed much. i still love them both, and will follow them like a sport as my father follows football, basketball, and baseball. just my 2cents, and not ment to offend. nice videos.

[iPurple_Misfit!]

Those guys have some talent, but it does scare me a bit. A nasty fall with a bike= not cool/ouch!!!

[k's_silvia2.0]

Yea falling on a bike FTL.

[spitfire7]

ive been tangeled up pretty bad. i was riding in a pool - my bike went up higher than i did - placed my foot on the vertical wall - hyper extended my knee - fell to the pool bottom - bike landed on me. ever sence that day i never pushed myself on a bike again.

[iPurple_Misfit!]

that shit is crazy, bmx riders are brave.haha

tangled and bike dont sound good together.haha

[S13Leprechaun]

ive been really into riding bokes for the past like 2/12 years...

i have a bunch of photo on my space at www.myspace/luckymx88 (http://www.myspace/luckymx88)... check out my photos if your bored anyone.. :)

haha yea i give you props for flatland that stuff looks tricky ive always been into vert and street. ahhh skateboards like to watch..but first time on a board was my last i near killed myself.

[?coupe240¿]

haha yea ive taken some falls. was just in the hospital the other day. i hit the ground so ahrd i bruised my kidney and had mild internal bleeding. and i also had to get 13 stitches obove my right eye.

[DUFFM4N]

the first video was dope....i didnt watch the second one

[spitfire7]

haha yea ive taken some falls. was just in the hospital the other day. i hit the ground so ahrd i bruised my kidney and had mild internal bleeding. and i also had to get 13 stitches obove my right eye.
ive been lucky enough not to have been in the hospital, but i think i should have went when i was walking next to a wheel chair ramp, and decieded to throw my board on it, jumped on and was sliding slow , like walking speed for about 10 feet, lookin cool balancing like i do that shit 10 times a day. as i came off of the rail , the board shot out from under me at the kink ,and my back landed on the very edge of the rail right next to my shoulder blade. i was lookin like egor for for a few hours, till the swellin went down. havnt touched a rail sence. that was one of three accidents that made me want to quit skatin

[S13Leprechaun]

yeah ive never gone to the hospital either.... just bruises and fractures... do you guys ride bmx parks?

[deolio]

bmx and 240's are a good combination. i know at least 8 other bmxers that drive 240's... strange. anyway i have an old video of me bmxing if you wanna check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yO_M7dbGaro it's incomplete, but i'm working on the complete one now with 90% less gross-ness.

you guys got any vids?

[S13Leprechaun]

i have a video on my myspace, well it used to be there dont know if it is now.... im in the PROPS issue 56 if you know what that is.... just look up on youtube, props issue 56 and there will be a san diego version... im corey... its a pretty sweet video.. a whole write up of our skatepark out here in san diego, and a bio of my friend Dennis Enarson, who was an xgames rider in park today... pretty rad. other than that i dont film too often.... anyone else?

[jilo]

i miss having people to ride with so bad, i almost wish i hadnt watched that.. almost.

the shit they are doing nowadays is just nuts. i alsways loved the backwards shit, and the kid on the first vid with the freecoaster is sick.
i havent ridden seriuosly in maybe five years or more but i still get hat urge to ride when i see shit like this.. anybody in the hartford area that rides pm me.

80's movie RAD kidz....

[Dutchmalmiss]

I remember a biking movie that nicole kidman was in haha. is it the same one?

[karl wasabi]

Damn. I rode bmx for over 2 years. Then my friends got into moto x. My parents wouldn't let me get a bike. So I got a 240. haha.

...anyone want to buy and S&M Stricker frame? just wondering.

[wootwoot]

www.myspace.com/petermiddleton

I only have one or two pics up but I have been riding for like 8 years?...

Iam annoyed though, I ate shit last night on a whip and my foot is all swollen. its messing up my training routine for karting! It felt like my knee went backwards too. Not sweet

what size is the Stricker? Internal headset/mid BB?

[BIZERK]

80's movie RAD kidz....

haha RAD is such a good movie. it's as cheezy as it gets but it still gets you pumped!

[Dutchmalmiss]

Anyone selling any spare street bikes? i need a beater/lighter bike. my current shit's heavy haha

Also, where do you guys go for parts? i check out www.danscomp.com every now and then. i want some maroon colored tires damn it and i can't find any!

[wootwoot]

Maroon tires dont exist and DansComp is shittttt. Order from Empirebmx.com

They know what they are talking about actually and are closer to shipping will be faster. Dudes are sweet and help me out so help them out!

But Rad is great because the girl from FullHouse was in it and whenever she was riding the bike you could see the mustache of the stunt double. Gotta love hell track!

[Dutchmalmiss]

^^ good shit. there aren't any good shops in socal huh?

[wootwoot]

No mail orders. Iam sure there are shops down there and a lot of the companies are but no major mailorders are from that area. The big ones are always in the center of the nation since they can reach both coasts in decent time

[wootwoot]

Aaron Ross oh my fucking god. Everything is so easy for him... Joel Moody rules are editing and I honestly liked the ChillBro part more then Grounded.

[deolio]

Also, where do you guys go for parts? i check out www.danscomp.com every now and then. i want some maroon colored tires damn it and i can't find any!

albes.com is my favorite, but staff-bmx.com, obmx.com, and empirebmx.com are good. danscomp is owned by the same people who own ccs(online skate shop) and don't really know too much about the products they're selling except that it makes them money, but if there is anything you can't find anywhere else, it will be on danscomp, otherwise it doesn't exist. colored tires = :barf:

[spitfire7]

u know whats crazy ? bmx riders and skaters are fighting like bloods and crips in socal over skate spots that bikers love.

[karl wasabi]

I have had nothing but good to say about Danscomp. Every time i ordered anything from them, I got it within like 3 days. Personally, I like them.

[wootwoot]

I dont support DansComp because they were shady at one point in time and printed bike companies t shirts themselves selling them bringing in all the money. Dicks. They also for the most part have no idea what they are talking about and put nothing back into the industry, only take out.

Its like buying from SSAutochrome. They dont give a fuck about cars only know it can make them money and will never actually help anyone.

Support your industry!!

in Florida we get along well. Its just hoods you have to watch out for. i ride with a knife. No fucking problem stabbing bitches if they are coming at me.

[Dutchmalmiss]

Anyone ride anywhere in eagle rock?? Place has good spots if you wanna ride with me and my buddy.

Plegs were just released. Anyone have them to share some thoughts on them???

ive got an old 95 Robinson Pro Frame with with a bunch of GT pro series parts & black GT 3 spoke mag wheels just sitting in my garage that i want to get rid of. i dont fit on bmx bikes no more. haha

[Dutchmalmiss]

I'm actually building my fbm masterblaster frame right now. There have been comments saying that FBM frames' welds break easily, but hopefully not mine haha!

yea street doesn't interest me very much. sorry for the old pics, I do solo missions more and there is no one to take pics of me.

[Dutchmalmiss]

Hey flatland's pretty cool, too. Got any vids?

[Bubbles]

I'm actually building my fbm masterblaster frame right now. There have been comments saying that FBM frames' welds break easily, but hopefully not mine haha!

FBM's are top notch, I still have one built up as a back up bike.

I actually enjoy watching skating more than riding.

I used to watch Flip-Sorry almost everyday before I would go out to ride.

Winter sucks and not a lot of biking is getting done but there is some digging progress being made. :bigok:

[Dutchmalmiss]

Street is still a relatively new sport compared to the rest. We can still invent tricks!!!!!!
Aaron Ross and Edwin De La Rosa are the shit!!

[bloodangels13]

No fucking problem stabbing bitches if they are coming at me.i know this is bringing up an old thread but i wanted to give some new info ion danscomp for all the bmx riders on here that see this post. about two years ago dans was bought out by an actual bmx rider and they are not shady anymore. im friends with sam the owner for tree bikes and he wouldnt sell to them for the same reason you stated but they are under new ownership and they are completely different.

Cool. I've been ordering from danscomp confidently. Now can we get some sort of zilvia hookup on the site? i want another frame already!

[Bubbles]

I've been ordering from Dan's forever and I never have had a real problem.

I know a lot of people will tell you to support your local bike shop but Dan's isn't that much further than my closest shop.


Who actually owns Dans now?

Why are bikes so highly accepted but Inline skating isn't?

I've seen dudes try harder shit on Rollerblades than bikes.

[0100]

^For me it's because the board and bike are not attached to you, like with inline skating. Just my opinion, doesn't mean the tricks aren't hard.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6gcz4hkOmw

Video destroys! Great riding, music, and editing. Never got into bmx, was too deep into skating and snowboarding. That and falling on a bike is a lot harder than on a board.

Thanks for the videos.

[deolio]

Why are bikes so highly accepted but Inline skating isn't?

rollerblades are just like being on your feet with wheels. not hard at all.

[Dutchmalmiss]

rollerblades are just like being on your feet with wheels. not hard at all.

Haha, I beg to differ. Try doing 540s into grinds.

I think BMX is a little more accepted socially simply because they're quieter than skateboards and inline skates when traveling around, which means the neighbors won't complain so much when you're all over their ledges and rails haha.

[deolio]

i'm saying doing a 540 into a grind on a bike would be a lot harder than doing it on roller blades, which is why roller blades aren't as cool. it's basically like just hopping around with wheels strapped to your feet... what the fuck is the point? might as well parkour.
