pretty sure I only rode the T ones. Good to hear the H ones hold up for dirt, those wheels make a bike look pretty damn nice.

Thanks. They are excellent for learning 180s/360s without bombing your wheels.
IDK Stoked. Not sure what is more dialed in your pic - the trails or your ride 
DANG Tim, the ride is looking proper.
heard sooo much about all the new stuff at the spot too, sounds nuts.
cant wait to see it!
landon, if you do make it to the east coast - make sure to let it be known - you got a place to crash in nyc.

damn stoked, i am righteously stoked. i too would like to make it up in the fall if i ehad up north.
Sweetness indeed. I can't believe you have a bike rack at the trails.
thanks guys. trail boss/manager maestro has crazy lines in his head and this year people have been super motivated to build. all shots by jimmy maestro too.
cru,
amongst other things, the bike rack was 'donated' by some guys that really don't come around much. lots of donations make it a sweet home away from home. doesn't everyone have a mannequin head?
sessions have been getting hectic. this is the new top section. hit the spine and it leads into this.
that qtr has been freshly shaped and hitting nice with the new wood coping up top.
me trying to get a feel for the new qtr.

Hey guys, I had a 24" mtb setup in about 2001, I really didn't know what I was doing and was really just learning to ride trails. Now I have a p2 chromo that I like, its not perfect, the bb is a little low and if you try to power wheelie really deep rollers the pedals can hit the tops of them.
My question is this, I am thinking of getting either a 24" cruiser race bike like this...
or something like the usb in the above post but with a rigid fork. I will be riding it mostly on my pump track, practice days at the local bmx track and maybe some dj''s I have, but mostly I will be riding the p2 on the dj's.
So is there any major differences in handleing between the bmx 24 and the mtb 24? Will I notice a big difference in the low front end of the bmx with tall bars as opposed to the tall front end of the mtb with low bars?
The only bmx I have ridden was a dk general lee and that thing builds speed on the pump track a lot faster than my p2, but that may be due to the rigid fork.
So who has time riding both types and what do you think??
Thanks in advance

i wasnt stoked on my park bike anymore since it was a bit dated and heavy i found myself riding my bmx more and more. stoked was stepping up to the new gen of the fg so i had to jump on it. once i got my hands on it i sent it back to landon to get coated w/that anti-rust coating thing they do and he gave it a little inspection also.
Tonic Fall Guy 44 (2nd generation I think?) w/internal h/s and mid BB, coated
Manitou sherman jumper slammed to about 60mm
Nemisis Pro weasy bars 3.25
Profile acoustic stem 48mm
fit eddie clevland grips/ fly end caps
colony h/s
avid v-brake and lever w/black kool stops linear cable
arrow frx front hoop laced to profile 20mm non-disk hub (courtesy of stoked)
tioga fs 100 rear
holly roller front (for now until i find a table top or maybe a k-rad?)
sun rhyno xl rear laced to profile mini w/ti bolts 11t
kmc 710sl chain
profile 170mm race arms w/hollow spindle (only a g less than ti and a lot cheaper) mid bb
animal sprockey balboa 27t
odssey plastic pc's for now (stole em off my pit bike)
fit post,clamp and seat off my old complete until i get my hands on a pivitol set up.
shes kind of porky right now weighing in at like 29lbs. i should be able to shed some weight by swapping seat/post and that big front tire and i guess the fork is kinda heavy compared to whats out there now but it feels good ,overall she feels great. i havent djed in a bit so i grabbed USB1 and we headed out to cunningham park in queens and i was able to adjust really quick.
thanks to G and Willie at racers edge for putting it together all nice.
