    For anyone who rides BMX....

    http://www.race-dezert.com/cgi-bin/t...econd&id=15100

    I know this is kinda weird but S&M rider Marvin Loetterle is selling his BMS prerunner... check it out it was in Off-Road mag a couple months ago.

    I used to ride, I sucked but it was fun kinda gave up 2 years ago still cruise around when i can.

    Anyways what kind of bike do you have?

    I had a sweet Haro 540 air complete then i cracked the frame and grenaded the BB. so I upgraded to a S&M dirtbike with Beringer Bars, Profile cranks, Kink 44t sprocket, Shadow interlink chain, Ditchforks(yes they were donors from my cousin), Casket Stem (gold, classy), Eastern Real wheel and hub, Primo rim job tires, Haro seat(still the most comfy seat ive had) im sure ive forgot something else but yea.

    Still ride, although not as much. I quit racing a long time ago. I raced in the early 90's back when you were just a wee one Ruckus.

    '99 GT Speed Series, XXL frame, lots of Titanium, only weighs around 23-24 pounds, and for a XXL frame that's light.

    I have a couple year old DK 6 pack. Cro-mo frame and forks (this really cool metallic pewter color). Odyssey brake setup. 14mm hubs front and rear. DK Chopstick cro-mo cranks. By and large pretty stock-ish. It's a bit dated at this point, but I still have fun on it. I don't get big (did I ever?), but I hit the dirt jumps near my house every so often, and hop on it to go to the store whenever I can instead of driving. After a lousy day of work it feels great to hit a dirt trail or jump off some stairs. Makes me smile every time, and for me, that's what it's about.
    This landing is gonna get pretty interesting.
    Define "interesting".
    Oh God, oh God, we're all going to die?

    I ride a KHE Impact, 23lbs. 4 oz. I have been toying with the idea of putting some dirt tires on it and going racin' I still have my Cycle Pro Macho from the early 80's.

    Dude, it's micro drive.... It's how much chain is pulled per pedal. It ends up being about the same ratio and cuts some weight too. All the newer BMX bikes have it along with a Euro bottom Bracket.


    I also have a GT Fueler that is fully custom. Nothing out there like it. No one has run a Gyro with V-brakes, except me.
