bored, here's a picture

[BlasterEaten250]

just thought this was a cool picture i took today. I set the camera on auto timer and came up with this haha. I dont really have a place to ride the 400 anymore so I'm getting more into bikes and I think it's just as much fun as quads. I'm learning more with my bike everyday and someday hope to do some bigger jumps like I've seen posted on here before.

well here it is

[motofreak2772]

yeah dude thats awesome we are building trails here too lol.
I still like my quad more but I bike everyday, I like street more but once our trails are done I might get more into that.
What kind of bike do you ride?

[BlasterEaten250]

yeah half the fun is building the jumps, i have a redline and so far it's been holding up great for me. except i can't seem to make handlebars last. i just got some new stolens that were a little more expensive than my last couple bars so hopefully they hold up better

[motofreak2772]

wtf? haha Ive never seen bars brake like that haha
I just bought a bunch of new parts and painted my bike. I got the Shadow Vultus bars.

cool bike, ill post a pic of mine tomorrow. mine's nothing special but it works for me haha. I would like to get rid of the gyro that came on mine and replace it with a single cable like yours, where did you get that splitter thing under your seat? I was looking at dans comp for one but I couldnt find anything like that, maybe I just didnt look hard enough lol

[nbishop93]

[tri5ron]

take the hanger from your gyro(it should be behind your seat tube then cut off one of the clamps and now it should work like a regular hanger lol. I actually broke my brake lever the other day and decided to take them off. I never really used them anyways cuz I do all my fufanus and abubacas without brakes.

I can post a pic of my "modded" gyro hanger if you want. Linear cables are way better than gyros, it makes your bike feel more solid.

and that would be ????

[MX MaNiAc 06]

I miss making jumps for my bike. Few wheelbarrel loads of dirt and a shovel. Or maybe just a board and cinder blocks. I ate chit on my diamondback almost every time I rode it tho.. :confused: hahaha

Gyro's = epic fail. They're more of a PITA than anything. Get an odyssey cable and you can twist your bars without your brakes locking up. I ride S&M.

[RIDEREDson]

I use to ride...

no my bike was a piece, 20$ walmart special, and it got thrown off a cliff, so i took the mangled bars off and put some mangled fatbars on from when i flipped my 300ex, the clamps barley even fit lol

my bike is a 60$ walmart special.....but its not a piece suprisingly!,its an xgames bike a 20" and real heavy duty pegs....and the coolest part is that the whole bike is chrome!and its got an aluminum frame so its super light,and i can turn my handle bars a 100 times and the brake lines dont twist up at all,but that bad part is that the handle bars are already rusting:( only had it for a year!but i had a nasty wipe out and kinda bent frame some,idk how it possibly bent the from though but it did:confused: :huh

Anything from walmart is a peice Smit.

My old Haro Backtrail was borderline peice. FIT makes some great bikes, but I got out of BMX about a year ago. I got tired of having gashes on my knees, and saving 100 bucks a month on tubes and chains bought more gas for the quad.:ermm:

Not trying to rain on your parade, but if you ever rode an aftermarket frame, you wouldn't be saying that Mongoose is great. I thought the same thing about my Mongoose KO until I rode the Haro I later built up.

When I rode a friends FIT, I seen that there was even more of an increase in quality.

Its like saying a 250ex handles better than a 450r.:ermm:

[motofreak2772]

Idk how to show you guys.. I just learned them not to long ago but right now I can only do tem on banks. My friend is learning them on the quarter pipe and hes brakeless so I know it can be done. You just use pedal pressure to keep the front up its not that hard.
My bike has a diamond back frame and forks but thats all I can afford right now, I bought it as a stock mr. lucky and built it up from that. When I can afford it I would like to replace them though.

http://img22.imageshack.us/img22/6495/img0191nfd.jpg (http://img22.imageshack.us/i/img0191nfd.jpg/) i wish u were my neighbor.....me and u would buildin jumps all the time and ridin bikes and quads(i got 25.5 acres of woods and trails)

how big is ur gap???i can sit down and lay in mine and watch people jump over me and im 5'4"and i plan on makin it bigger....and i want one of them dirbike lookin xgames bike,it would be perfect for the jumpin me and u are doin its got rreal good shocks and dirtbike seat it would jus be sick.....

[BlasterEaten250]

that one is about 6-7 feet. Just got back from doing a 15 footish one, biggest i have ever done. I could barely walk afterwards i was shaking so much:p

sick man now tell me how u built that one in the pic.....like i see it looks like u got logs on it???any techniques u could pass down to me??

[BlasterEaten250]

I really slacked making that one, you can see the sides falling haha. Use fillers (logs), and pack it GOOD as you go. Make sure the sides are built up good also. If you aren't comfortable with jumps with a landing, build up the back of the landing so its sloped. That way if you case it you don't automatically die like the one in the picture above haha.

[standardryder]

we got about 18 jumps running so far at our trails which isnt bad since there was only 4 in april.

heres a 15 footer
http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n84/standardryder2006/Awesome/P1011700.jpg

and right after that 18 feet
http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n84/standardryder2006/Awesome/P1011705.jpg

SICK MAN!!!but i redesined my jump after lookin at yours blastereaten and i regret it.....i made my jump jus like yours blastereaten but a bigger and the first time i jumped it i wreck HARD........and of all places to wreck i hit the concrete slab in my field.......my head hit it hard luckily i was wearin my helmet:p and then my knee is pretty screwed up but the whole time this happened i blacked out cant remeber a thing till i hit the ground....and then ifixed the jump by givin it a bigger tip and didnt work...i wrecked again luckily not on the concrete slab:p but i fell off hit my balls off the pedal hard it hurt like hell then my head hit the ground(with helmet of course)and flipped and it jus wasnt pretty so i quit for about an hour and im gonna go back at it after dinner wish me luck:devil: :devil: oh and anyone got any tips on ramp buildin so i can get big air?

visit bmx-forum.com

[416exfreak]

Jesus christ..

You take a shovel and pile dirt up. Form it into a launch ramp and a downslope and hit it.

Thats how you make a jump.

Will you stop asking now?

dude^ chill. he was just asking for a little bit of help. atleast his post are some what understandable now, and make a little bit of sense. but make a user name on bmx-forum.com and look in the dirt jump section and there are many how to's on how to make them.
