So when I first got into bmx, I thought that a 220$ bike was the shit and didn't know what the hell chromoly or hi-ten Steel was.. And I bought a complete with all unsealed bearings and hi-ten steel frame.. Now all my parts are breaking and it sucks.. (This was 8 months ago).. So I got new forks stem bars grips front wheel basically everything new but back wheel and frame! But the thing is, is that all the parts I bought was shit and know i have to get new shit cause it breaks.. I work my ass off for money and i do craigslist trade to make more money on the side.. Any thing you wish you could do over? If it was me now I would of build a custom fit wifiwink

Tomdon is right dude.No regrets on life, just learn. I am a noob simply put. but you sound like u are in a similar situation as me! lol for example, my "bad ass" bike is a stock 2013 Gt zone with crap components. I've been through like 4 other bmx bikes in the past though (one $275.00 hoffman, one dyno gt, and 2 box store) but i tell you what. The day I get my first REAL bike will pwn........ Im as cheap as it gets but unfortunately I even realize its gonna take a lot more money than I am willing to spend to get a nice ass set up. lol.... but it must be done! If not I have to deal with it sad lol


edit way too many drinks tonight. I was not calling you a noob for the record, im sayin we were noob in our bicycle choice... but maybe we only chose what we had at the time whatev idc.. lol I was reffering to dropping billz on bikes. You said u thought 220 was the shit, and here i am saying 250 was the shit but we both know like an $800 bike is the shit.

Thanks for agreeing. I've had a few too many too lol. But money can be tight. I understand that. I get most of my stuff used and fix it if broken. Whatever You gotta do to get by. It is what it is. 2 kids doesn't leave much money to spend on bikes but I love my kids to death and would kill myself in a heartbeat to save them

Not trying to but in but if you want her back the change will happen whether you realize or npt. Not sure how you interpret that but isn't meant to be sarcastic or dick-like

Half cabs are like a 180 meets a turnout. pedal pressure plays a huge role at least for me. And you're changing for the better. So even if she doesn't hold up her end of the deal you still come out of it a better man. It's win/win for you man!

If you can get a vid i may be able to help. It's kinda like start the pivot and after about 30 degree rotation push hard froward on pedals and pull up and the hop should happen from that

Lean your ass over the rear wheel as you land the 180, just like you would fakie down a ramp. More stable and then as tomdon said pedal pressure as you pivot.

Sometimes I wish that I wouldn't have bought a complete nearly two years ago and then built it up but back then, I didn't really know much about geometry and I didn't really know how to build bikes up so buying a frame and a build kit or a frame and other random parts, may not have been such a good idea.

Still bmxing while caring for your kids is totally respectable. You sound like a good dad man. idk how old they are but when my kids grow up (whenever and if I ever have any) I want them to think of me as the cool bmx dad. lol

Everything you do is what you wanted at that time. So the way I see it is you can have a wish to not do something if it caused pain, heartache or problems, but everything you have done has shaped who you are. Unless you are unhappy with who you are, you shouldn't want to change anything from the past. (Obviously we want to keep people who passed still with us, but I mean this mainly for actions YOU chose to partake in.)
