i'm not sure what yet, but i plan on turning my backyard into a dirt playground for my 20" and a fiddy. it's mainly going to be used to get in shape, but i used to ride dirt all the time when i was younger so it should turn out aight. i don't want to spend much on my bike so i thought about buying some better rims for my old ass mach one. need some advice, buy some upgrades, or sell (and if so, how much?) and then buy a different bike (and which one)? here's the bike

No flatlander would buy them, but If you want some good cheap, durable wheels then this is a nice set. Did I mention the freecoaster?and teh 14mm chromoly axels?

Lol, aint that that one guy from nicalodeon(not spelled right) along time ago on that one show?
Dude, that Haro M7 wheel set is to heavy for flatland, but perfect for street/jumps. 48 spoke, Alex Supra B rims, 14mm chromoly axels. Ive rode my friends, M7 and those wheels are almost indestructable. Unless you wanna pave over your back yard, and start flatlanding. ^_^

That used to be a sick party game.. until I turned 6 and they told me to scream 'I love the Spice Girls!'... that was the last time I would ever play that damn game.

Are you referring to "Truth or Dare"? Double Dare involved goofy '80s families competing for trips to Disneyland.
Sidenote: It didn't have sh1t on Legends of the Hidden Temple.

I was referring to old school truth or dare at children's partys, although Legends of the Hidden Temple was the sh1t! My brother was actually watching that this morning, so I decided to join in and watch a few minutes of it. Too bad they still don't do it anymore and that it's all reruns.

Your not going to find a complete dialed flat bike like that for $180.
And if you do, buy me one. Becuase i know someone that wants to get into flat.
