from my bros words.

Ok so some bikes are labeled as Street And Park.So my bro was wondering if you can use the Park bikes for street and the street bikes for park. Does it even matter? like the DK Six and Four pack are labled as Park.So can you use them as street too. The DK Dayton is labled as street can you use it for park.
When i say park i mean Skateboard parks of course.

for a beginner it doesnt really madder,theres basically the same bikes,but i think street are built a bit heavier to take more of a beatin

Just put some carbon headset spacers on it, that'll lighten it right up.

What more are you looking for? The answer is unequivocably YES, you can use street bikes for park and park bikes for street. NO, the differences between the two are blurry and often negligible.

and while your at it drill holes in your frame, forks, bars and take off you grips becuase there heavy, and get Ti stem and crank bolts and axles along with your Odyssey Junior seat to go inbetween your buttcheeks cuase of its extreme lightness...and dont forget the method of taking of the vavle caps on your tires and shaving bar ends and cutting you seatpost and sterrior tube and droupouts and you can even take off your front wheel and just manual everywhere in order to lose weight!


wow so many options

i think hed be better off drilling the holes in his head, or remove one of his legs so he could never ride a bike and discrace the bmx world, or maybie even shave off his fingers so we dont need to listen to him anymore.

im talkin about bmxz or whatever the hell his name is or the other 50 of his names. im just so sick of him asking about 3 different bikes a day and stupid questions. you were saying he'd be better off drillin holes in his bike. i was sayin he'd be better off to drill them in his head. trust me, i dont have a problem with you what so ever. im just sick of some 11yr old makin new accounts every 10min askin the same question in everyway possible, and now pretending to be his brother.

and insulting someone 10x better than me, i was insulting an 11yr old who probably couldnt tell you whats the difference between a sprocket an his own behind. a highly doubt in any way what so ever that he is 10x better than me.

Then you'll want to start writing like you're 17, and not 11. I cannot believe the above post was written by a 17 year old.

I'm sure someone felt that way when you first started posting. But in this case, if he's banned, it will be for legal reasons, not because we don't like him. Get over it.

i mean that in a sense that...whenever he trys to help his lil bro (which is cool) and trys to get information...he is gettin slammed...and its wrong...because he is helping someone...

The issue I have, other than the age thing, is that the poster wants us to do all of his research. I think they need to go look at some online stores, some company websites, and get some info before asking really basic questions. "Does this bike come with 3 piece cranks/sealed bearings?". If he was asking what the advantage was of those parts, that's one thing. Same thing with asking if one bike is better than another. If you've only got $300 to spend, then a $400 bike is not better than a $300 one, because you can't afford it. Is a Backtrail better than an F1? It might be for me, but not for you. If you know nothing about BMX, and you're 11, worrying about bearings and spoke counts is mostly a waste of everyone's time.
