I've looked there before (at empire that is) but I don't remember what they carried. Right now the server is down or something I guess. ... but yeah. I want to order the dk cleveland and american cycle has free shiping until labor day. So, do you know of any horror stories about people ordering stuff from there? I wanted to get it from albe's but that free shipping offer is tempting. Plus the only payment method I have available is paypal, so I'd have to go through the trouble of talking somone into working with me on that.
btw the only bike shop near me is more for mt biking and only carries specialized bmx so mailorder is my only option

I went ahead and ordered it. (DK Cleveland) So, I guess I'll find out whenever it comes in. I hope it doesn't take too freaking long.

Despite what everyone else says, i think your right.
They always have stuff in stock, and havent messed up any of my orders.
The only thing is they dont carry T-1. Or have a dog for a mascot.
got any new pictures or anything to show us?
that actually made me chuckle.
is it bad if i think your a tool?

He's sponsored by them. Give him a break.

He barely ever posts and he is a pro rider. That means he rides a lot and he is very good. I think everyone else wants to see pictures of him riding too.

I have used them several times. Great prices. But you're better off calling than ordering online. Speeds things up a bit...

Well, I put the order in online 4 days ago, but I can call tommorro and check up on it. Maybe they can give me a tracking number so I'll know for sure when it'll get here. Thanks, puts my mind a ease knowing that someone else has used them before.

It might be because they help him out and hes doing his part in helping them out by telling people about them. If you were good enough to get a big sponsor i think you would do the same. Put the cheeseburger down and ride your bike at a level that he does then talk ****.

Beerman , I appreciate your courtesy. I seen your profile on Vital bmx cool. Now lunchbox let me tell you my deal , I ride for dans comp and dans has been very generous to me by supporting me and bmxinvasion. I support all ridersand I try to give back to the scene by hosting annual contests and am currently working on a 2nd Biketober fest for the riders in my area. I promote dans because thats part of being on the team. I also promote for S&M and revenge because I am down with their products. I am not up S&M's ass for a sponsorship they are very generous and support my efforts especially with products for my bmxinvasion bike battle contests now going into the 7th year. Just this year I got a green light from woodward to visit anytime at the facility. When I'm there I give riding advice to those who ask and also give away free bmxinvasion t-shirts and stickers to riders. I am just a rider like you who enjoys bmx. I don't ride with a big head I ride because its fun. Something here for you to check out:http://www.interbmx.com/profile.php?view=profile&id=414

Hey Al on your interbmx profile, well first off, great riding.. and second, I see that you are a fan of Dave Mirra. I am also a big fan of his, but a lot of people think he gets more credit than he deserves. What do you think of that?
bmxinvasion
09-07-06, 01:21 AM
Hey, thanks!
Dave Mirra is a great rider and one of the most natural riders of our time. Has pushed the sport in not only BMX but also got it to the media in a higher respect and now more and more people are recognizing it daily across the globe. I think he gets what he deserves, people just looking at his materialistic life more than they get to see the real inside of what his job actually is. What seems like fun and games to us could be alot of hard work for Dave Mirra. He has alot of things going on and alot of people depending on him, I am sure he has pressures like normal people do, just not in the financial aspect. Dave Mirra always out to impress his fans and have a goodtime. Stays true to his sponsors. I think he is the perfect example of a Pro to each extent that comes along with the industry and sport of BMX, from underground to new age. He does it all! --Al

I dont know about that, but other than that, i agree with you.
I just think it was kinda weird that he left Adidas and Haro...
They both seemed to give him everything he wanted, and probly paid him alot...

I just wanted to bring this thread up again to say my bike came in today. The brown dk cleveland. It's pretty cool, now I just gotta learn to do something on it besides rolling around or falling off.
