legit. I need to pick up some new grips. And probably whole new bike next year. Looking for something along the lines of an old Norco 6-2 or Aline. That way i can DJ with it fine here, and still go out and do some DH a few times a year and not have to rent.

Just got back from Dirt Jumping. Made a fairly legit jump. Only about 4 feet tall and 7 feet long, and about 40 degrees. It was launching me and a few friends 15-20 feet so it was purdy legit.

Might be upgrading to a Trek 4300 next month. Hydraulic disc brakes, 27 speed, 18.5" frame... Much better than my Diamondback... :wub:

You usually have to put something solid inside the dirt so it holds the shape more, something like a log or a wooden pallet. Maybe your little brother..


So, I royally fucked my Diamondback this past weekend. Managed to bend my highest chain ring gear, bend the front fork, pop a tube, and bend my rear derailer. Took it into the local bike shop yesterday to have them replace everything with some road friendly stuff. It will now be a rigid, single speed, cruiser/commuter bike. 32-14 gearing with 1.5" road tires, Avid brake levers with updated Tektro V brakes.

On the other hand, Im trading my Viking for an 07 Iron Horse Sunday Team edition DH bike, which I will (rather unwisely) be using as my trail bike. 45lbs, with 8 inches of travel on both ends. Climbs are going to be absolute hell.. :lol:

Just started to ride bmx. I only got a mirraco fivestar intro but its better than a wal mart mongoose and it has a three piece crank. Only problem is I can't ride for another two weeks. I got mono and my spleen is inflamed.

Also you guys got any recommendations for tires and pedals? Currently got cst cyclops tires and they seem to work good unless I go to a park with that weird steel ramp material.

I am still trying to figure out what bike to get. Hit and miss really, so I can't be too picky. Although, it needs to be able to do some jumps, without breaking the cranks like I did on my last bike Posted Image

Lookin' for my next mtb. for $400 or under. Used that is.

Suggestions all around?

Specialized Hardrock Comps could be found for about that much. Depending on the jumps, they might be a little weak, though. They are mostly XC bikes. Best bet is to find a 24" BMX/DJ bike. Those are usually cheaper and stronger than regular MTB's..

I just need it to withstand jumps, I mostly trail ride. Thats the issue Posted Image

EDIT: might just replace a few parts on whatever I get. Make it more suitable for jumpin'
