So where can you find it? :D

Keeg, what kind of riding are you planning on doing? Do you have any local sources for used bikes?

Two divergent course, racing and parks. One requires a light bike, one requires a stiff and strong bike. On a budget, this is a big compromise. Where's Beerman & Snazz when you need them?

again?! i do the same type of riding, except usually i have seperate bikes. but you don't need a special bike if your starting to race. a heavier bike may actually help out. just start checking out some dk's. thats almost what i always suggest. but they are getting better.

Guess we better hope Snazzy shows up soon. Did someone use "Redline" and "Freestyle" in the same sentence?
