Saying you got your bike stolen isn't going to increase you chances. alot of us are doing this because we got our bikes taken from us. No need to beg, they'll choose who they choose.

My favorite color for a frame would have to between black, since it matches with everything, same with white, but color wise I'd have to say that I personally like teal, or toothpaste as sunday bikes calls it. It such a bright color, it gets your attention. It also has the ability to match with many other colors, like yellow, green, orange, and many more.
My favorite rider on the Professional team is Kelly Bolton, because he's just an innovator. He took the frontflip to the next level, I mean fakie frontflip flairs? thats ridiculous, But on the flow team I'd say Seamus McKeon is my favorite, just because of his awesome style, and Im also pretty sure i saw a video of him with a freecoaster, and he rocked it so well.
Now my favorite bike shop would have to be my local shop, Boulder City Bikes. They may not be the biggest, or most developed bike shop, but did they did give me the opportunity to work for them for parts, and i learned so much about working on bikes, and just bikes in general. I came in with a stock Stolen heater, and ended up with a custom bike that fit me so well. until it got stolen :/. but anyways Boulder City Bikes let me learn so much that they will always be my number one shop. Working there was the best job I've had. Even if it didn't pay at all. If your ever in Boulder City, NV check them out, the owner's a nice guy.

ah sweet dude,
