    I had to walk about 30miles because me and my buds were at this skating park showing the locals up! and then we all got a flat tire and we had to walk home because of it! walking home was so gay, but on the way home, we were having fun walking and punking people out! But, when we got back to our home town, we think that we were walking for like three days because we were adventurus. We decided to go their and here and everywhere we could of on our way back to our home town! Thats how we found this place that we fixed up and its our jumping park now!

    Well i rode 2 miles to a really nice park that i had been wanting to go to for a while and when i got there some dumbass skateboarder had snapped his board and left the pieces laying all over the park.so i was on a line and i looked down when i was done and there was a 2 inch piece sticking out of my front tire.so long story short i walked home 2 miles because of that.

    "And this was the only time i ever appreciated a skater." -agfracing

    I think that is stupid. You know if it weren't for skateboards there would be no skateparks, right?

    I realize that some skaters are dicks and hate bmx but you're doing the same thing by hating skateboarding.

    About 10 years ago, me and my friends used to go to the beach on the summer vacations with our bmx bikes. The beach is 7 km from our neighborhood. A friend of mine got a flat tire, when we where going to the beach, and i was the only one with pegs in the rear. We where 3 km far away from the beach. So i had to pedal in my haro, with my friend and a bmx bike wich he was grabbing on it. So, i did 10 km. 3 in the morning, and i was sitll fresh, and i did 7 back home, with my body full of salt, and a guy on my rear pegs, with a bike with no gear´s, and well, i used to don´t have brakes, but, because i didn´t had the money to buy a new ones...

    I think i don´t need to explain how i felt that day. 10 km full of salt... Try to imagine how was my skin when i got home. I spent the next day at home.

    But that´s what BMX is all about

    This summer I had puncture time after time in my front tire.
    The worst time was that when I met with a girl whom I was rideing home at late night, and i got puncture. This meant i could not ride with her, so i was left alone in the middle of the night. I had to walk for almost 2 hours to home.

    This was not the first time I had flat tire in the front. I truly realised how important the rim strip is, what I bought next day from the local shop... Oh, it was an Alienation product, of course...

    i got a flat 3 miles from home. but i didnt walk, i tried to wheelie all the way home. the traffic lights were a bit of a nuiscance not to mention a 6'3 bloke trying to wheelie a kids bike back to his house.

    then there was a time when i got a flat 20 metres from my mates house after a night up the pub. he lent me his bike to get me the 4 miles home but 20m up the road it went flat, so instead of heading back to his house, i walked it to my house, falling asleep insomeones garden on the way and buying a bottle of milk from the milkman on his rounds. think i got in at 5am and slpt most of the next day.

    RAD TIMES!!

    The worse flat I've ever gotten wasn't exactly too far from where I live, but was still a pain in the arse....
    Ok, so i'm with two of my buddies on our way to meet up with some kids who had a sweet bank setup behind a Jack-n-the box. The ride is only a good mile away, although feels like longer more because of hills and what not.
    About half way there crossing some old wooden bridge....*pop*..... oh... 'fruck'. And you know that feeling you get when you're heading some where and know that you're going to have so much fun; then suddenly you can't go at all? Turns out a rusty nail just straight up riped the life outta my tube haha.
    I sucked it up and urged my friends to go on without me. (no use in being the party pooper)
    So I literaly ran home, burst into my garage like a mad man and get to work on patching my front tube.
    (was my seventh patch by the way--note that tube now has 9 and still runs like new--)
    The worse part was pedaling my ass back up to JackintheBox by myself only to find that everyone had already moved on without me. And me with no phone and even less energy, I just gave up and took a nice lonnnng stroll home feeling like some one had blown up Disneyland and murded Mickey mouse.

    well one time me and my friends decided to go for a 35 mile bike trip to a nearby town to hit up their skate-park
    we woke up at about 7 and left around eight we were about 10 miles away and i got a flat on the side of the highway. i called for help but couldnt find a ride so then we had to turn around and i walked about 25 miles back to my town (roswell) and then another 5 miles or so to my house so about 30miles all together. never wanna do that again i got home around 9 or so at night but i gotta say it was pretty fun we caught like two snakes on the way back. it sucks cause im kinda broke and my parents wouldnt get me on my lil damn mongoose but i ride a fit now with my old mongoose tires and really need some new ones and the !!Graffiti!! tires would be execellent

    haha i had to walk 3 miles once from a flat tire. It was sunny as dump though, around 85 degrees. I walked down this one street near my house and got laughed at twice from the most random people just because they knew i had a flat. Long story short, flats suck!!!
