Added reply in a thread Front Brakes!!!
My front brake setup is 100% Odyssey F25 fork medium monolever a simple but very effective springbrake ghost pads slick cable. It works like a dream, and having rear brakes opens a whole new world of tricks, having a front brake opens a universe of possibilities, ... more »
Added reply in a thread Does Everyone True Their Wheels Every Month, or is it Just Me?
Whenever I say those magic words ('48 spoked wheels'), almost everybody thinks I'm talking about going back to huge flanged hubs and triple wall rims also. C'mon now, you should know better. Of course I'm talking about taking advantage of today's technology, ... more »
Added reply in a thread Does Everyone True Their Wheels Every Month, or is it Just Me?
It takes me some months too, but I have a 48 spoked wheel in the back. I wish more companies would go back to making 48s... Bonedeth knows what they're doing, the weight difference between a 36 and a 48 is minimal, almost laughable, since the strength ... more »

Added reply in a thread Shoes, do they matter?
Hell yes they matter! For me it's: - high tops, always! Or at the very least, mid tops.I'd rather ride high or mid tops and 'regular' shin pads than low-tops with those 'ankle-protection shin pads'... - a flat, grippy sole. Vans' are the best ever but ... more »
Added reply in a thread What do you predict the next trend will be? Or the next one to "die"...
Brakes! Hooder is riding brakes! Street riding! So, soon kids will start riding brakes again! 48h wheels! Seans Burns is riding them! Street riding! So, soon kids will start riding 48h wheels again!
Added a comment to Eduardo Hellion's bike check
it brings me back when street riding was just beginning to be a 'thing', and everybody was riding frames with platforms like prody's and rear brake only, no gyro, and sometimes even no pegs. This bike is very '1989' (including the tall seatpost). Nice!

Added reply in a thread Companies that aren't what they used to be?
To me, these are the companies that once were on the top of the game but now they seem to have lost their momentum: * Hoffman - They used to be really big, but now 90% of their line is kind of mid-level. Still love them thought. * Flybikes - I remember ... more »
Added reply in a thread Worst Tricks
I also forgot to mention tricks like brakeless abubacas / fufanus and foot jams... what's the point of taking your brakes off and doing adapted brake-type tricks? I know I'm gonna get a lot of bombs for this but they look stupid, even foot jams! Add ... more »

Added reply in a thread Handlebar related accident
Once I was about to grind some concrete ledge down some stairs and I bunnyhopped way too much and my front peg landed 2 inches from the very end of it, and the peg stuck to the concrete, and since there was no more ledge left, the front wheel flipped ... more »
Added reply in a thread What shoes do you use for BMX?
the thing about vans is the damn 'made in china' thing. Years ago I had a Half Cab that was made in the USA, and they lasted an eternity, even riding and walking almost every day with them, one of the best shoes I EVER had! Fast forward 20 years and ... more »
Added reply in a thread Least favorite SPECIFIC PARTS
seat / seatpost combos I won't ever own one of those. No adjustment, the post is always too short... Thanks but no thanks I also hate super short stems in general. Maybe it's the old school in me, or the trail rider in me, but I tried some of these 50-45 ... more »
Added reply in a thread Titanium...
Today's chromoly parts have been worked to near perfection, and what I mean is, why pay a lot more for a titanium part just to lose a bit of weight? Maybe a ti frame or handlebars have a considerable difference of weight next to chromoly ones, but on ... more »

Added a comment about feature USA Cycling Speaks for First Time on Freestyle in The Olympics
"...take your sport seriously in how you train, how you eat, how you sleep and recover,..."
is it me or does this sound like the fun factor of freestyle has been completely killed off? Will our worst nightmare come true? Are these guys gonna become those super athletes who only train to get medals and not for the fun of it?...

Added a comment about video FISE: Budapest - Women's Highlights
Finally I can watch people riding and actually having fun while doing it, even at a contest. Men's pro finals were sooo boring, with the robotic million-tailwhip per jump. Aside from a frontflip 360 here and there, park riders these days are incredibly uncreative. Is that what it takes to win these days, 500 flairs, tailwhips and barspins per run, and absolutely NO style at all? Bring back the people and keep these robots locked, please!

It isn't really a surprise since nike is not a BMX brand. When a Brand that was born on BMX leaves BMX, it's because of something serious, but when some 'outside' company gets into BMX, the minute some small problem arrives, the first thing they do is shut down BMX...
