BMX - Your first low-end BMX bike

I know all of you guys have had low end BMX bikes, What was your first? Mine was a 2001 Mongoose Hoop-D, and the frame on the pig was 9.5lbs.

1991 Dyno VFR I bought brand new in 1991.

'92 or '93 Huffy something-or-other from Toys-R-Us

like a 95 mongoose something..................it was actually really light but crappy,,,,,,,I actually rode it off this jjump the other day and bent the rim up.........ooops

some type of mongoose.

Crappy mongoose rebel(70$). Stripped it and painted it primer grey. Removed all brakes and cut the bars and seatpost to lighten it. People thought it was an oldschool bike because it had MAGS

lol Pacific and im riding it right now, BUT dont worry im getting a better one (but pacific bmx bikes fricken suck)

mongoose gravity games I think. it said something about vert on it. it weighed like 40 lbs

Hmmm. Never had a crappy BMX. Had the original Mongoose in 1979. Schwinn Scrambler around that time too. Then a Redline Carrera and 600A. Of course, that was more than 20 years ago...

holy ****.


i had a Mongoose Hoop-D too for my first BMX bike....it was chrome with a black plastic seat and big ass flatland pegs...(i didnt know at the time) i got it at Wallmart...haha

then i got a 2000 Haro Backtrail X1 (candy green, best color ever)
then i got my current bike...2003 Haro Backtrail X3...and put nice parts on it...
right now im saving up for and almost have enough for a T1 Barcode...

Sad thing was I got my Hoop-D when I didn't know much. And my dad was trying to get me to buy a $300 GT LMAO Should've listened to my dad.

Gary Fisher Cab
heavy bike.

Gt performer...27.00 at a cop auction!~~!!

ummm my first bmx bike was a yellow X-games that i picked up at the local K-mart

a royce union something from sports authority or wal-mart but the one i started BMXing with was my '99 Dyno Air

First one was a Dimondback Venom back in 1993.

Mosh 2 Star Brass...not a completly crappy bike but it did have alot of problems

Please explain why you would want a fuse after riding a fit S2

Crappy mongoose rebel(70$). Stripped it and painted it primer grey. Removed all brakes and cut the bars and seatpost to lighten it. People thought it was an oldschool bike because it had MAGS

rebels are nice to cruse on cuz of the str8 maggs and **** and they look awsome too just not a trick bike

my first was this blue huffy that my dad got me at the thrift store it didnt have an alan key goose neck it had a hangover one with the big bolt and when i had finally learned to ramp right before i got my mongoose i went off of a small jump at my local park on the trails in the back landed and my handlebars flew forward and i flew forward offof my bike afterwards it wasnt ride able cuz the front wheel had popped and the handle bars were like they were and **** it was fu*king funny tho

Please explain why you would want a fuse after riding a fit S2
maybe he meant one of Fits completes...but if you meant like a custom Fit Series 2...please enlighten us on why in the hell you went from a really nice Fit to a not so great low-end Specialized Fuse

Man, I think my first bike was a Schwinn hand-me-down from my sister with ape-hanger bars and a banana seat.

My first 'real' bike was a 1986 Mongoose Expert racing bike (bought in 86') which I then tore half the parts off of and converted to freestyle.

My first true freestyle bike was a 86 or 87 Haro Sport which I got the following year after someone cut the lock and stole my Mongoose. I was really bummed on that, I had paid for everything on the Mongoose myself out of my own pocket.

mine was a mid 90's mongoose chamelian. that thing was light as hell, but deadly. it would randomly fall apart just riding down the street.

a 96' diamondback ignitor that got stollen from me 6 times twice by the same person.

The first bike that I could remember was a 97 GT Vertigo that I got for $20. Then shortly after that I got a Haro Monocoque for FREE. So far it's held up, not that I do anything too "Extreme"

$20...what was it missing a wheel or two?



or was it just like the frame...

mine was a chrome hundred dollar huffy then i got a next, then mongoose, then couple of cheap dynos from swapt meets, then haro revo, then dyno air and dyno detour(both now for sale) then i traded my revo for a zippo(now riding) plus i just bought a 5 dollar huffy to beat on.

Nah it was complete (with the mags and everything) . Had a little bend in the bottom tube and was in pretty bad cosmetic shape.

-brakes sucked a$$ (probably the mags fault)
-rusted a lil bit
-tires were worn dowwwwwwnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

I got it for a good deal because my friend sold it to me (he has a car so he didn't want it). He originally wanted $60 but I'm a hustla (queensrider should know something about that) so I got it for $20.

Mine was a piece of crap next bike that cost like 70 bucks and wieght as much a a tanker truck.

1983 Team Murray. Are you guys really short because mine was too small after I was about 10, and I'm only 5'8" now.

Im 6'2", so im not short.

Wow. Do those still use 20" wheels? I can't imagine what something like that must look like to fit someone so tall.
