How often are you sitting on your bike?

Seriously. The only time I ever sit on mine is when I'm waiting for my turn to drop in.

I barely ever sit on my seat. The only thing i do use it for is griping it with my legs or flatland tricks like nourie stands or steam rollers.

Since it's clear you spend WAY more time in the saddle than any BMXer I know, I suggest the Fi'zi:k Arione, very popular with roadies (got one on my road bike, in fact). Got an extra $140 to blow? :D

Stand up, foo'.

I am looking to get a new seat too, and I am set on getting the Mosh Digital 3. It's only 24$, it's light(if you care), and it looks like it has more than plastic and a thin layer of foam. I think it looks comfy.

i saw a wtb on dans comp. i have a wtb on my mountain bike, and it is really nice. if the bmx ones are like the mtb ones, i would take a look at it.

Yes, we know he's ********. But on the other hand, that seat is a really good seat. Beerman gave the best response so far.

You're lucky, I have to bike down to our towns skatepark/dirt jumps(using my seat to sit on most of the way). I don't have my drivers license yet! :cry:

Do you live in Flatsville? There's heaps of kerbs, benches, and little old ladies to hop and grind on the way to all of our local parks.

little old ladies to hop and grind

Hahaha. I had to, i'm sory. Yeah, I guess there is some curbs at the least, but it all gets so repetitive because i've been biking to the same park for 2 years.

The last time I owned a 20" BMX (21 years ago!) I would bunny hop or jump just about everything I could find. A trip across town was all about finding as many ledges, planter boxes, low walls and natural jumps I could find. I think it's time to go back.

you should watch that show Everybody Hates Chris if you get it down under. he lives in bed-stuy, but his mom makes him go to a white school. funny

Brian

We don't get good TV here.

queensrider86
10-23-05, 06:26 PM
you should try to look for digital cable around there

Brian
10-23-05, 06:30 PM
We have Fox Digital. It sucks.

do you have UPN aka the black channel

Brian
10-23-05, 07:03 PM
Nope. No black folks here.

[edit] Ok, there are some. But not enough to justify UPN.

queensrider86
10-23-05, 07:16 PM
that might be nice. black people are so stupid at times. this guy had a patch of dead grass in front of his house, and he yelled and told us to get off his grass. they also ***** about living in the projects, but that doesn't stop them from buying a $60,000 suv with spinners, or buying a baby that doesn't even walk the new $200 jordans.

Brian
10-23-05, 07:25 PM
So what are you? Seriously. Puerto Rican? By the way, there's plenty of white folks just as bad.

queensrider86
10-23-05, 07:30 PM
i'm black. white people are just as bad too. the people who started our country are ****ing hypocrites. there are ****ed up people in every ethnicity, but that is what comes out the most in black people

Brian
10-23-05, 07:37 PM
Got it. My sister has a baby by this guy that's got 3 other kids from different women. He's got the Escalade with the big wheels, but doesn't pay child support. Piece of shyte, that one. My best mate in the states is black, but he's the exact opposite. College degree, good job, responsible guy. I give him heaps though, because he plays guitar, but can't play the blues, and he won't eat watermelon or fried chicken. :D

I don't judge individuals based on color or ethnicity. I let them prove to me what kind of person they are.

guys like your friend are pretty cool, but they get made fun of by poor people and get called sellouts. they aren't sellouts, they probably just had a father that they knew of.

Yeah, his dad's pretty cool too. He worked for JPL, and I think he was some kind of engineer. They're not sellouts, they just decided not to let their skin color hamper their ability to be happy and successful.

Last time that I checked, "The Black Channel" was BET.

Brian
10-23-05, 08:05 PM
We don't have either. We do have a lot of Sudanese refugees. The other black people here are Aboriginals. But seeing as how they're superstitious about seeing themselves on TV or something like that, not too many shows for them.

CMcMahon
10-23-05, 08:24 PM
Aborigines, you mean?

Brian
10-23-05, 08:32 PM
Same thing.
