BMX Anyone??

[SupaMan]

Some of the florida tracks are packed tight, kissimmee use to be REAL bad. Cape was pretty big tho you had room to move if need be.

I know all about the nut shots, Taken a few in my day. Pads ftw!

Yea i took a long time getting use to clips. Once your in your in. Its hard to get use to that and it scares alot of people.

I hear you about starting riding again, Just cant take that abuse anymore.

But the sounds still make me wanna race again, "Riders ready, Watch the gate, BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEEP!"

yea i loved clips when i raced a lot of people didnt even use clips it gives you so much of a advantage espically of the gate cause you could snap off the gate like no1s business...

yea im only 20 so i can take a lot of abuse still..ha

i remember my favorite pro use to be jamie staff he rode for haro

true but just manual everything its faster anyways...i really dont like jumping at the track idk why...im just use to KODS and not having to worry about a kid that crashed on the landing and landing on them....

talking on this bmx makes me want to go buy new rims and chain and sprocket which should be around $200 and get back on the track....im pretty sure my xxl will fit in the supra just need to take off the front tire...


its funny i remember the 1st time i went out on the track i was all tired after 2 laps and i couldnt balance on the gate.....

yea manualing is def faster and fun but sometimes getting big air can more fun to me sometimes

it should fit no prob, Ive put both my cruiser and supercross in there with no problems, altough I removed my back seats, but even with the seats in 1 bike should not be a problem

you should definitely fix it, its cheap and fun, i remember the first time I went back to the track i was having trouble breathing after the first two straights, lol, and the day after was horrible, my body felt 20 years older than it really was

you could pedal in the air but it makes the bike more difficult to control sometimes cuz it can wobble side to side when your trying to pedal

i never twisted any crank arms all I did was snap the spindle on redline cranks cuz I came up short on a jump, after that got profiles and been fine ever sense

 

[NashMan]

profile and gt are the saem well back in the day they were the same but i used to tiwst the arm alot


red line crank back in the day were junk i usd to snap them as well

faw from factory but it fuck hurt when it broke thou jaw handle bar not good times

I rarely stopped pedaling. I was taught not too. Never sit and only stop if your manualing or doing a whoop section.

Im only 21 but i feel like an old man. I beat my body up bad back then and the old pros warned us that it would be like this but we didnt listen.

oh ok, thats crazy, I havent seen that one before, hopefully there wasn't any serious injuries involved

I dunno about S&M, they had some sweet bikes though, a friend of mine used to ride them and loved them, also I raced a kid Tyler Brown back in the day before he was pro and he used to speak very highly of them, but that was back in '02 or '03

 

[NashMan]

yea i did some old digging and stuff and was shocked tt see that s&m were still making the dirt bike frame (wow i was like 12 and that frame was still around ) and i am 28 now

not much has change cetp hardly no rides with brakes any more i remember back when flat landers riders were start to ditch brakes

these guy was pretty much who started the hole no brake thing well at lest in flat land

whats up john how you been...damn your 30 your getting too old..haha jk...

we need more than you raced when you were 15 and now your old fart and your trying to get us to buy your old bike...lol

 

[MDCmotorsports]

Yeah when I used to live in Orange County (socal), I raced from when I was like 5-14. Had a BAD wreck when I was 14. Bad enough it scared me off the bike. Broke all my teeth out of the front of my face, knocked my self out, opened up my right eyebrow, and ripped my right nostril clean off my face. They had to GLUE, yes GLUE my nostril back to my head. There wasn't any thing to sew.

So here recently, a bunch of my friends out here in the midwest were all like "Hey man, come race the senior classes with us. Its like 30 and up, but we can get you in." So I was like sure, I'll go for a practice night to the indoor and give it a shot.

Went out and bought a brand new DK aluminum frame bike, 3 piece crank yada yada.

About two nights of that I said... fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkkk that. Got thrown a wheel by a couple 12 year olds who thought it was funny.

Funny my ass you little sh!ts. On Monday all those little bastads have to do is say "Mommy, I don't feel good. I can't go to school...."

I don't have that option.

So off the BMX, and off to the bike up for sale.

Of worthy mention - the 44 year old guy that I was training with was knocked out, broken shoulder, broken hand, dislocated knee cap 3 weeks after I quit. Workman's comp and insurance DID not cover him.

^that is one reason why i don't think i can see my self doing all that jazz again in less you get out side insurance and such
