"Mr. Boudreaux came up with an apt analogy that has spread through the urban downhill world. 'When you ride a Brooklyn, you're a hot chick in a thong,' he said."


Yeah, I say and think that all the time....

"customized bicycles with dual-fork front suspensions and powerful rear shock absorbers designed to withstand violent landings"

Ahahaha, you got it.

 

[mack]

Eh hem, looks like Brooklyn Got a little push by the Ny times. since when does every DH bike cost 8 g's?

I saw a brooklyn HT bike on 79 and 3rd, didnt look to special too me, just heavy.

Free riding is one of the extreme sports that started in California in the 1990's

 

[Curiouscaptian01]

Free riders, typically men in their 20's to mid-30's, often spend close to $10,000 on customized bicycles with dual-fork front suspensions and powerful rear shock absorbers designed to withstand violent landings.

wow 10 grand if I had spent that much on my bike, I would have to live in it somehow... kind of like a person living in their car.

On the parks' rocks and stairways, riders can practice jumps and trick moves like 360-degree midair turns

Not spins, mind you. Just turns. No spinning allowed.

"A lot of inner-city kids are getting into rock bands, music like P.O.D., just from watching downhill DVD's."

I'd probably do pretty well, being a theatre kid and all




Yeah, there may be some misinformation in the article, but hey, at least its out there

It's cool that the article made it into the Times, and it's certainly not the writer's fault, but whoever the editor is needs to either read up before he edits articles of this nature, or find someone to consult on it.. It's just rife with inaccurate phrasing and information.

Still cool, though, and good for BMW!

are you in yr 20s or 30s? as one gets older the trend for increased salary is a strong one.

maybe NYC's prices are out of whack. maybe they based the story in tokyo.

Sweet article. So what if it's written by an outsider. Just goes to show, every article out there is alittle inflated! Props to brooklyn though.

For all the haters, calculate the cost of a complete RL vs. a foes mono or M3 and you'll see there isnt a big difference in price.

[Smelly]

some the of the phrasing is pretty ridiculous and the editor should have found an outside consultant for it, but it's still pretty sweet that something like this ended up in the NY times.

 

[tmx]

ny times style dorks with hazmat info. if the bikes cost 100 bucks they wouldn't want to have anything to do with it. but it's the niche/boutique flavor combined with the price tag.

edit: blah.

pretty sure some of those park riders won't appreciate mike telling the gawkers the bikes are MORE than the grand they're already sweatin' over. let them think it's only 1g, safer for us all. (not that i ride in the park on my big bike, but plenty others do.) he's a super nice kid though, psyched for his coverage, especially because he's the one who got the reporter psyched on it and really pushed him to meet with brooklyn.

I watched Roger and Me on Friday. Poor old Michael Moore gets shot down on a lot of interviews. His honesty kicks him in the nuts. He should just make some big story up instead of telling the truth. After I watch a video, I will ask for you address. I have one crazy ass conspiracist from Austin that you need to see.

Oh and not too bright to announce the price of high dollar rides to peeps. I just always say not much when strangers ask me.

 

[douglas]

HELLO, 50 mph!?

 

[Rainer Wolfcastle]

A buddy of mine visited the BMW shop a couple of months ago and apparently the N.E.R.D people's bikes have been finished for ages and never been picked up. Ditch those bmx bikes and let's see som BMW's in your videos!

Here's Pharells bike.

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahhahahahhahahh! Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahhahahahhahahhahha!

That quote was the one I was about to post...

where the Race Link is considered the Lamborghini of bicycles

Is that mean its an overpriced, overhyped, outdated vehicle that won't run for more than two days in a row?

 

[DRB]

Oh wait this is even better

Mr. Boudreaux came up with an apt analogy that has spread through the urban downhill world. "When you ride a Brooklyn, you're a hot chick in a thong," he said.

 

[bradical]

Cool article. I still don't think people will understand that darned "freeriding"

 

[RUYORK]

Mike's a pretty cool kid. I met him last week at my gym...

...and out of your league?
