Bmx riding

[hrc]

I have always been in to bmx but lately I have been biking every day. I want to make some rails and jumps I was wondering what the best type of jump is to do tricks on and if any one has some pics of rails they hit because I am going to build a couple rails.

[theTman]

im not finsihed building my double...but the gap is pretty big

[theTman]

one more

[hrc]

What tricks can you do?

[Honda TRX250ex]

Build a 5 foot high table top with a 5 or 6 foot gap. make it have a curve in it also to get more air.
I miss BMX riding:(

[theTman]

manual barspin
manual xup
180 tire tap
some whips off jumps


nothin much else

[ny300exrider]

i love bmx, my favorite sport.

[standardryder]

a decent sized table-top would be perfect to learn new tricks on. that way if you bail, you dont end up falling as far. i use to bike so much more, but i havnt lately,i miss it.


i was hoping to get these dialed before winter was over, but didnt get enough snow.

I havent been riding as much lately so all of my cuts and bruses can heal,...
I will be building a couple of nice dirt jumps this summer hopefully:D

check out www.danscomp.com pretty much every bike on there is good.

[hrc]

Every thing on my bike is from danscomp besides my frame. If you are looking for a good bike get a eastern.

[insaneracin2003]

i am looking for something that is reasonably priced and is of good quality.i seen a few bikes on danscom. there are some nice ones in there....

[Hon300ex]

how much are you lookin to spend on a bike?

[insaneracin2003]

back inthe day i can get an awsome bike for 200-250 max.we are talking about the eighties when Dyno,GT,Mongoose,Redline,Haro(my personal favorite) were the chit.i guess i am looking to spend max about 200-250...can i get anything that is nice for that amount?

I think the Poverty G-Rides are in that price range. I've heard they're decent. I have a WTP frame and I love it. I built my bike, I got a frame, then everything else. I think it ended up costing $350-400. But its a sweet, solid bike.

thats pretty cheap for a nice bike. if your planning on riding for a while then it would be worth to spend like 350. id look at a dk 8 pack or 6 pack which is 50 dollars more. the 8 pack is 250 and the 6 pack is 300. those bikes would be pretty good for you. they'd last you a while untill you decided you want something better. a haro backtrail x3 is 300 but you cant get that on danscomp. you should also consider that bike even though many people dont like them these days

I love my dimond back.

Back in the day I had a Skyway T/A, anybody remember them? Had the skyway gyro and bars, gt composite wheeels, all kinds of crap. Man that was like 18 years ago, I'm old! Had it all set up for flatland freestyle, used to be pretty good at it.

[xraptorriderx]

yea i used to race bmx and made it like 6 races to going expert and quit b/c i got a quad but with gas prices i started bmxing again and just ordered a new bike from dans comp.

Might even wanna try mountain biking, I rode a bike with fox floats and it was sweet. I'm prob gonna pick one up.

:D

I used to bike a chit load, but I pretty much suck, and I always end up injuring myself, so I kinda got out of it. I have a DK General Lee, only like 210$$ but I don't know how good of a bike it is. Who knows, maybe when I move I'll build a quarter pipe and and some other stuff, maybe I'll get back into it.

[Rip_Tear]

I love'd BMXing when I was living in the City. Dirt's alright, but it tires me out like a mofo (ashma). Flat land was really fun, I only learned about 7-10 tricks, but I was only doing it for 2.5 months.

[Sjorge450R]

I cant figure out how to spin :mad: . I have a cheap GT Compe, but it works for me since Im not big into biking. (acually popped my front tire monday on a nail and my rear today on some glass.)
I can ride a decent speed wheelie for like 15-20sec.

Spining is easy, just put your shoulders into the spin first then whip the bike with you. Try it on a hill first, its easier.

Find a nice hill that has a decent lip on it or make a lip kinda like a kicker, when you up up the jump turn your bars the direction you want to spin, turn your head and look where you want to land and pull/throw the bike around as hard as you can.

Does anyone ride flatland? I spend hours just in my garage on rainy days trying crazy ****. It's so fun!

[division4thor]

Hey, i used to ride flatland alot. Actually rode, dirt, street, and park alot too, but flatland was my favorite. I keep saying im going to get back into just for some offtime ecercise. Ive got all the original Hoffman American made bikes hanging up all original not ridden!!!!!!!!!, GT pro tour, Bull hot rod, Mongoose alluminum BMX race bike, GT fueler, DK, some other and a boat load of parts. Im really looking for a Hoffman EP if i were to get back into flatland though, im a hoffman diehard fan.

If you want to practise spinning, get a GT sno-racer thing and try to bunny hop it all the way around. The best I could do is a 270, and I'm 240lbs. I learned this in the winter.
