I used to ride back in the late 90's, I raced and had a bike shop sponsorship for that but I really just rode whatever was around, trails, street, some skateparks. idk if I could find any pictures of when I was still riding bmx... I clearly remember a pic of my about 15' of the ground on one of the 1st big jumps I ever took. Sadly I have broken way to many bones to continue riding that aggressively.. I turned into a pussy and got myself a road bike.

I knew some guys on Road Fools 18 so they called me to have them show me around Berkeley. First thing of the day they are looking at this rail, which I had done before. Nobody believed me that it would slide so I just cranked at it, landed in a feeble losing 0 speed on the rail, flew off at the kink and landed all the way in the flat and exploded off my bike, they thought I did it on purpose while nobody was even filming and assumed I was just a complete nut. Was too shaken up to get a clip the rest of the day, was super scary even though I wasn't broken.

Would an entry-level BMX bike make for an interesting commuter to school and back (1 - 2-ish miles)? Even though road bikes are better for paved flatground, I don't like how fragile they can get. Plus, you can't as easily jump curbs or cut through fields on one.

>>1030967
bmx is great for this short ride, every curb is a little jump, you will find tons of things to do little jumps off of and onto, manuals and nose bonks and practice cake ways and anything else you can think of on every commute... then again you are over the age of 15 you ill probably have every girl out there laugh at you.

bmx is perfect for 1-2mile commute

>>1029675
idk seems like all the pros I can think of with head injuries (most recent scotty cranmer) were wearing a helmet, maybe it is more about how you ride.

>>1030967
absolutely. I'd even say you couldn't get a better mean of transportation for the distance you're planning on doing, mostly for the reasons you're invoking

>inb4 15yo
bmx is probably one of the most suitable means of transportation in dense cities, where obstacles/curbs are many and where going 50kmh is often unnecessary, or even dangerous

Just got this. How'd I do?

>>1031354
la caca va por debajo hace tiempo ya. por arriba no haber olor.

>>1031475
Yeah, very sad Scotty Cranmer injured himself recently. As a child my friend fell really hard, and got brain damage. Personally I just have fun with biking as I'm older, because it's a dangerous funnel when you're always competing really hard with someone else, and you're not going to be able to keep it up into old age anyway, so it's kind of like waiting to get injured badly in my opinion.

>>1032279
Are you trying to actually bmx on it? or just ride of curbs? Because that is not a freestyle frame, its more race oriented. The frame is longer, therefor, harder to pull up, manual, and spin

its pretty garbage to be honest.

of my friends that still ride their bmx bikes into old age
1/2 are alcoholics who dont ride
1/4 try really hard to ride but their bodies are too damaged
1/4 is really good at bmx

>>1032352
The small amount of info I can find on it says it's made for freestyle. Thought it would work for dirt jumps.

>>1032380
>>1032352

it looks like its really old low end freestyle bmx... back then there wasnt much difference between a race bike and freestyle bike, companies were just starting to experiment with frame geometry. Some things that give it away are the old 990 brakes, extra gussets, the cut down handle bars and the 48 spoke wheels..even if they might have been add ons.

>>1032396
oh and if you are going to be dirt jumping say good bye to your 1 piece cranks.. gonna bend them the 1st time you case a jump hrd

>>1032397
okay. do you think freestyle is doable on it?

It will be fine for awhile but honestly no bmx will last forever, it will eventually break. Then it's time to by a new one and transfer parts over

Use it for now, expect to upgrade to a modern freestyle bike sooner than later, you can only get so good on this bike. Gotta start somewhere. If you live in wisconsin id sell you my bike cheap

I was an 80's bmx rider in the peak days, everyone had a bmx.
I had a white quadangle with white skyways.

So many old times bmx-ers went to to commit suicide, why I just don't know?

Anyone else from those times have a similar thing going on?

it's not that it got caved-in, it was that they actually peeled his face back and removed that portion of his skull to relieve pressure from a brain hemorrhage. they're gonna put it back eventually.
gonna be a long time before big scotty there can walk again but he seems to be making progress which is rad.

got this one for 150€. kinda heavy with 12,3 kg (27.2 lbs)
always wanted one for riding from a to b when i was living in the city. it was great!
now that i moved back to the countryside my bike lies disassembled in the shed. but found a nice trail not far away that i want to hit next year.

>>1033061
just for coolness factor or does it acctually has a function? sometimes i saw bikes that had pipe brushes around the hubs

If you're over the age of 20 and you ride BMX it's time to grow up

to my fellows bmx'ers.
wht is the big difference from a 300 bucks entry bmx bike kinda like the cheat we the people, etc.. with a 900 (or something like that) more pro bmx? im talking about street mainly... cause for what ive seen weight isnt really different, maybe 1kg more or less, but thats it.. all of them are heavy... durabilty i supose?

im new to bmx and i dont do any extreme tricks yet.. so i prob will be cool with a 300 bucks bmx right?

do you win soething else besides durability? is it gonna ride better or something ?i can understand that you may roll a little easier cause of hub quality.. but.. is anything really notoriuos? thanks. and sorry for my english. please enlighten me!

I ride a 24" Diamondback Reactor. I'm 5' 10 and don't enjoy the 20 inch bikes anymore. I don't do tricks or anything, but this is a VERY fast and nimble bike. I had to ride at midnight because I wanted to burn off the midnight energy high after Dave Mirra's BMX on the PS1 earlier. I hit a big pile of ice and almost ended up wiping out. My neighbors already think I am weird until they saw me sprinting up the street on this.

Look, kid. I don't know who you are or what kind of riding you do, but I'm not one to back away from a challenge -- or from danger. You see those professional freeriders hucking backies off 30 foot cliffs on gravity rigs? Yeah, I'm one of those guys. Or the guys riding 100kph in a peloton only centimeters away from other riders, where the slightest mishap would send them flying onto the pavement -- or worse, off the cliff that the road is running alongside? Yeah, I'm one of those guys too. I'm a 3-time downhill world champion and a 5-time Tour De France winner. I also have the 3rd lowest time ever recorded in the Race Across America, the most difficult endurance sport event in world history. Then you little BMX punk kids and fixie hipster faggots come and tell me that I am afraid to take risks? No, fuck that and fuck you. I'm not afraid to take risks, I'm just not an idiot. I'm all for adventure and risk, but there is literally no reason to ride without a helmet or without brakes, ever, under any circumstances (aside from riding brakeless in a velodrome). I hope you get run over by a death cage and die, kiddo.

About a third of a mile is my limit for riding stupid tiny bike.

HARDEN

UP

If you don't ride a 16" princess bike for at least 100km at least once in your life, you are a downtube and need to HARDEN THE FUCK UP

Actually, that's a good idea. Let's do a 100km /n/ group ride in /n/ jerseys on 16" princess bikes. I'd seriously be down to do this.
