BMX - Lighten up my bike

hey whats up everyone im new to this site...ive been riding for about a month but used to ride when i was younger, i have a 02 haro X3 which is still in pretty good condition but i was wondering what you guys would recomend to lighten it up but still be strong...cuz i tend to go hard on my bikes

Ride it like it is. No reason for you're bike to be super light.

well i kinda screwed up that post and realized i did afterwards, i forgot to put in the main reason for posting the rims i like to jump of huge things, parking structures, roofs, and so on....and thats why i love that bike, the frame is crazy strong but my wheels suck i was wondering what kind of wheels i should get that are strong and not toooooooooo heavy!!

If you have $$$$ to spend you have lots of options; G-sport Ribcage laced to a G-sport Homer front hub 48hole.

Back wheel would be similar, but I don't know of a bombproof rear hub.

alright cool man thanks for your help im sure you will see me on this site alot more, i have found a new love for biking again, i stopped for a while before because i got my liscence and kinda got lazy haha but missed it too much...thanks again!

oh and where would you recomend buying them? any good online places..i used to order from dans comp, but didnt really like there service! oh and those would work fine with my oversized wheel mount holes...

I had a Haro X3, it was on '02 as well. First thing i got new was tires and grips. Because i didn't like either of the stock ones.

Most of that bike is pretty strong and will last you awhile. Just replace stuff as it breaks and ride what you've got.

www.empirebmx.com or www.albes.com or www.staff-bmx.com

I would go with empire, though.

alright cool, yeah i have already bent my rims a little and fixed them a couple times so i figured now would be a good time to get some new ones! and i just got payed and have nothing to spend my money on haha but thanks for your guys's help, anyone on here near whittier ca?

just get a hazard hub laced to a midway rim. hazard hubs are pretty tough and midways are really stong and still reasonalbly price and not overly heavy.

you gotta get some skyway's LOLNO

I have a peregrine wheel in my shed still.

If you are really from SoCal like your username states then look up Solid bikes when you are tryin' to get new parts

what does the bike have for parts now? might help with lighter and/or stronger replacement recomendations.

its all stock i just bought off some 13 year old kid for 150 it was perfect condition and stock, i just started biking again last week ( havent in about 2 years ) but when i did bike for like 6 months i bent the rims a couple of times, and now that i am biking again and even more ruff on it now I am just counting the days until they break on me!!

Ever hear of "spelling" and "grammar"?

yess i have im sorry mother!!! and I only mispelled one word, im off today its a holiday

You are continuing your trend.

and even more ruff on it

Do you ride with your dawgs now? Is that why your more ruff?

haha it was supposed to be a long yesss, I have became a lazy typer since i've graduated. It's a bad habbit I know, but I dont think about it 'til after the fact!

I can see you guys are bored, yes i do be riding with my dawgs ery day

Well be a good typer and learn to type things out correctly.

i'm a pretty good typerist (not a typo...i meant 'typerist') and i only use 4 fingers...never learned the "correct" way...got me through college!
I also like online dictionaries...
and waffles
Fruit is good...but i digress

I used to be a fairly good typer, but having a laptop and typing on strange angles has gotten me back to typing with two fingers, but I'm still pretty damn fast.

Sometimes I can type >100wpm, sometimes not... I usually make mistakes when I type that fast, and it's only when I have what I'm going to type visualized.

That happens being a computer geek and typing many times more words per day than you say out loud.

I can't wait until I can play sports again. I won't have to sit on the computer all day anymore.

Yeah when i broke three ribs ( dirtjumping ) I could hardly contain myself, all i did was sit on the computer all day, when I did finally heal it was great i was so happy to be able to do physical activities again, you dont know how much you love it until you cant do it!!!

Yeah, no kidding. But your ribs didn't sideline you for 9 and 1/2 months (when I will finally be able to go back to sports), did they? You have no idea how anxious I am to go and ride my bike and play a game of baseball.

no it was about 4 and 1/2 months, I would go insane if I had to wait 9 1/2 months!!!!

i can type 117 wpm with 100% accuracy which is pretty good but i dont type properly =P

d4nny, if you type that well normally, try to type that well here (which I doubt you would have 100% accuracy all of the time due to the fact that nobody is perfect). It would be highly appreciated.

i can type 117 wpm with 100% accuracy which is pretty good but i dont type properly =P
not at 100% anymore...dont=don't :)

100% accuracy which is pretty good but i dont type properly =P

How can you be 100% and not type properly? That seems impossible to me.

"proper" typing dictates a certain finger position (there is a HOME position for the hand)...
I use a modified "Hunt-and-peck" w/o so much hunting anymore

so, what does new dharma mean?

Dharma: the underlying order in nature and human life and behaviour considered to be in accord with that order.
Ethically, it means 'right way of living' or 'proper conduct,' especially in a religious sense. With respect to spirituality, dharma might be considered the Way of the Higher Truths.
Dharma is a central concept in religions and philosophies originating in India. These religions and philosophies are called Dharmic religions. The principal ones are Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism, all of which emphasize Dharma (the correct understanding of Nature) in their teachings. In these traditions, beings that live in accordance with Dharma proceed more quickly toward Dharma Yukam, Moksha or Nirvana (personal liberation).
Dharma also refers to the teachings and doctrines of the founders of these traditions, such as those of Gautama Buddha and Mahavira. In traditional Hindu society with its caste structure, Dharma constituted the religious and moral doctrine of the rights and duties of each individual.

Dharma can also mean 'enlightened one'
New Dharma=New enlightened one!

(i really like the Beat authors...Jack Kerouac, William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, Neal Cassady, Gregory Corso, Peter Orlovsky...)

Dharma is based on the idea that everything in the universe is causally linked. All things are composite things, that is, they are composed of several elements. Because all things are composite, they are all transitory, for the elements come together and then fall apart. It is this transience that causes human beings to sorrow and to suffer. We live in a body, which is a composite thing, but that body decays, sickens, and eventually dies, though we wish it to do otherwise. Since everything is transient, that means that there can be no eternal soul either in the self or in the universe. This, then, is the eternal truth of the world: everything is transitory, sorrowful, and soulless–the three-fold character of the world.

EDIT: Dharma's definition is better.
