Last week my bike broke and I didn't want to mess with it so today when i got home from school i took the front rim off and took the axel out and on my hub where the bearings are suppose to lie there was no cup. It was completely gone! This is the third time that this happened. Well im trying to figure out what my next BMX bike will be. I had a haro and i dont want one anymore. I'm thinking this S&M dirtbike from dans comp for 600 bucks (pic below). What do you guys recomend?

BTW
R.I.P. Haro F3

from what i understand S&M makes great quality parts and bikes...you could also build a bike and use some of the haro parts and it would probably be around 600 if you used some of your parts you have now like seat and brakes and such.

I already was thinking about that and it would cost more then 600 because a frame is about 350 plus rims another 250 and right there you are at 600. i rather let the haro die. Besides I don't have nor like brakes.:)

s&m dirtbike is more then enough, When my haro died I just stripped it to the frame and rebuilt it from there.

Get sealed bearings if you build a bike.

I'd just spend the 600 on the s&m because eventually your going to have to upgrade anyways.

And belive it or not, the better the bike, The better you are. I cant do half the things I do on mine on a regular bike or a cheaper one. I'd pancake the wheels in a heart beat lol..

Cant go wrong with Terrible One

If i still rode bmx thats what id be on

They are pricy though, kinda like the "walsh" of bmx. Trick parts, smaller company and higher prices.

Thats not all i can do its just an idea... if you want me to make a list of all the trick i can do just say lol.
Yup josh that is true, I rode my friends S&M black bike and he had over a grand into it and i could almost get 360 to maunels off of a 6 inch curb and walltap a lot higher.
I'm not really into Terrible One.
