    Can I ride this?

    I haven't posted here in approximately three forevers, but here goes. Build it, ride it, love it. I can't believe you honestly feel like you needed to ask.

    Dumb 20" BMX question?

    Frankly, no. Pick the company you prefer to support for whatever reason and be stoked.

    I took some pictures that I think are good...

    I'm still riding a BMX bike, and I'm 29 years old. The pictures are indeed good, but I always thought no footers looked kind of gross.

    Howd you learn to do 360's?

    Go with what they've said already... Learn it as a flyout first. As long as you keep your head and shoulders turning, the rest of your body will rotate. Come around, spot your landing and you're set. Don't spend too much time doing them as flyouts, though. As soon as you land a couple, start...

    sick of ie - I'm downloading firefox or opera!

    Back when I used Opera, if I wanted a free version I had to be willing to be served ads. I wasn't, so I stopped using it. Is that still the case? I used Firefox exclusively now. A downside would be that on one site in particular that I like to use for bike parts, the online shopping cart and...

    Anyone ridden the Standard 250L?

    Just so's you knows... The specs circulating on the 250L are a little messed up. A lot of people are looking at an online version of a catalog where the description for the 250L was swapped out for the description of their race frame. Most Standard stuff is really good. Rick's a really big...

    Lake Tahoe (Need Advice)

    Lake Tahoe is my wife's most favorite place in America. Lots to do, lots to ride. I'd say go for it.

    Breaking Away is gonna be on Bravo tonight...

    I like Breaking Away. I like it a lot. I saw Quicksilver on one of the Starz! channels the other day too. What about Rad? God bless that movie.

    Best damn song I've heard in a loooong time...

    Yes, and it's a wonderful thing. Furthermore, they came through Indy recently, and the show was also a wonderful thing. The only thing I don't dig about Social D is that Mike Ness essentially reads from a script during their concerts - he has the exact same between-song banter every night.

    BMX forums?

    The forums at bikeguide.org are pretty cool. The above disclaimer also applies to this one as well.

    What's the point of having steel vs. aluminum in BMX cranks?

    Well, it's probably not my biggest problem. It's just the one that I think of first. I've seen six (or is it seven?) sets of Profile cranks fail in the same time that I've been running the same Primo Powerbites, so I'm pretty set in that department. As far as the Profile wobble, it's usually...

    What's the point of having steel vs. aluminum in BMX cranks?

    Well, the Primo Powerbite cranks are basically copies of the old GT cranks that no one would buy years ago. They're stiffer than steel, and in my experience they have been bomb-proof. My biggest problem with steel cranks are the lack of pinchbolts on the crank arms. I like those. And I hate...

    the rough truth cuts me deep

    Didn't a kid also crush his face during the Ghetto Comp? Also, I would think that it would be really hard to get that big old mountain bike frame to come around off a wallride in time to land, but maybe I'm wrong.

    Happy birthday yesterday, mang. Thus concludes my first post on this board in, what, two months? Hrm.

    My iMac crashed today

    Any computer will crash without regular maintenance. It's not all that different from bikes, really. My work machine (Mac) is rock solid. As someone said before, it only goes down when I click "restart." Other people in the building have no idea what they're doing, and before they know it, the...

    I may need a new user name soon TTWF

    HA! Makes me wish I could make the trip out. I'd get on the internet and become a reverend just to perform the ceremony. Maybe you could get some other 'monkey to do that...

    What's everybody doing today after work?

    Trying not to die in the heat and humidity. I also think we're going to look at a couple more houses tonight.

    a little help....please

    This other board I frequent was having a discussion about funny band names. One of the best ones mentioned was: "John Madden Will Put Foot Cream On You Because You Are A ****ing Foot Fungus." I laughed out loud. For a long time even.

    how inportant is cycling in your life style?

    Riding (is what I do really "cycling?") is how I define my lifestyle. Obviously with a son and a wife I don't spend as much time on my bike as I did before, but it's one of the most important things in my life all the same.

    why in the hell do so many 20 inch riders not wear helmets?

    If I start handing out dollars to you all can we just make this thread fall off the bottom of the page like it should have weeks ago?
