I've owned a GT Bump for awhile. Got it EP from GT as they were having somewhat of a sale on all of their bikes with the whole Pacific deal. HAdn't ridden it much at all 'till one of my shop buddies bought a new Free Agent. Since he got that, I've done some small upgrades (good 3pc cranks, Snafu Hex pegs, tires, pedals), and have ridden it a lot.

I'm so STOKED about this thing. It rules beyond belief. I'm having SO much fun going to the skate park and just riding around. I learned to feeble grind today and ended the ride with a nice ankle sprain or something. In pain now, and still smiling.

I was going to sell the BMX a week ago, but after three super good rides, I'm keeping it for sure.

Oh, ok Mr. "I'm selling my bike because I don't like it...":rolleyes:

BMX IS fun. I don't ride mine nearly enough.

Did you put a different set of cranks on? You had 3pcers on there before, didn't you? If so, you wanna sell me the older ones (if they don't suck...)?

The stock ones are stupid. They are loose-ball type, which I wouldn't mind much, but the threads for the adjusting nuts on the axle are screwed from the factory 'cuz the splines get cut right through them. They strip ASAP. Besides, the cranks weigh more than my leg.

I know man... now that I have a fellow BMXer to ride with, it's rockin'..

Ahh, okay, I thought it was new ones to replace the ones that replaced those...

Good to hear you like it. I think I'm gonna start riding mine a lot more once the highschools get in and parks aren't packed all day.
