Biking Thread

A La Layne im starting a thread for everyone whos interested in biking, any kind BMX, mountain Trials etc. etc.

So post up your bikes and other bike related talk.
Ill post mine once i get my last final parts.

Also if anyone needs cheap bike parts come visit me at Sportchek south i can order in alot of high end brands at cost or near cost

best thread ever!!
heres my bmx which i have spent close to 2 grand on and was bought part by part and its light as fuck

and here is my newly bought fixed gear which wont stay stock for very long(and dont mind the handlebars i had to cut them because they were gay and low down track bars are on their way)

nice i love that BMX ill post some pics of mine once my new grips and pedals come in

But the bike is a gary fischer opie dirt jumper that i have converted to single speed, put on some maxxis holy roller tires, changed the cranks, lightened as much as i can, and soon to have bright pink grips and pedals. Its also flat black..

Where do you like to bike?

on the bmx mostly downtown and around the ledge area always seems to be fun
and on my fixie i just ride around aimlessly mostly at night and just try to race stuff and weave in and out of traffic and whatnot

Sorry but those videos sucked. All they did was ride around "drift" a little, the most impressive trick was a cat-walk.

i am guessing you have never ridden a fixed gear but it has nothing to even do with tricks
these parts were taken from mashsf and riding a fixed gear is way more about just riding around and those "drifts" are the only way you stop on a fixed gear because there is no brakes and the hub is fixed so you cannot stop pedaling
so you hump your bars and use pedal pressure to skid

wow thats nuts where can you get one of those

i bought mine from blocks but they have an extremely small selection of fixed bikes they can even bring in
so internet or dutch cycle might be better

Well still, might be fun to do. Not much fun to watch haha.
