Just as soon as i started hitting the dirt humps this year i broke my hand riding dh.
I won't be riding until October.
I'm in the (sorta) enviable position of owning a bike company and having a factory 30 minutes away from the office where a dude named Frank The Welder can build anything I want in a couple of days if so prompted.
Help me come up with a fun project to work on to stay psyched on bmx and to keep y'all distracted from work.
My riding style is most definitely racer boy and i spend more time treating the street like a race track and making deep ruts in a sand pit on my 20" than I do anything else. One of my favorite places to ride is in a flat dirt parking lot full of potholes.
I'm really curious about building a 22" bike for proper 1970's style Bicycle Motocross. Steep bumpy hills, sand, deep ruts, sketchy jumps, dirty whoops. I think you probably get the picture. I love my Bitchin Camaro for that stuff but surprisingly small branches can eject ya pretty quick.
We can build frames and forks and can work in any material although limiting things to steel and aluminum would be a darn good idea.
The most important part of any project is the model name, and this thing is going to be a Boozegas.
As a bonus the 20" trailboss at our (silly steep and tech) trails has asked me to build a more shred-y fun zone that isn't sweet steep death. He's sick of being the only one digging since the current trails are late 90's EastCoast, the stuff where you need to brake in mid air to nose it in. There are no groms. Not enough XboX. You gotta wear Fox Dirtpaws if you want to shred that shiz.
The prospect of slap-chopping dusty berms and motoring through racer lines in a purpose built Banch Lot has me all bugaboo. I sure wish I could dig one handed...
Help me out BMX nerds, please. I have to spend all day designing road bikes!
Thoughts, feelings, actual ideas or esoteric emoticons are appreciated.
