Hello people, I'm new here and I wanted to ask u somethings about my bike....
About 2 weeks ago, I bought a Pro-x Dirt Serie 4 (OMFG I BOUGHT A PRO X >.<")... Let em explain: In my country, I can't have too much of internatiol and good things for bmx, so I got a pro-x, thinking it was good...
Now, I know its a big ****, it's so heavy, and I know I don't wanna mae dirt ;P...
What would I buy for it???I was thinking to buy a Monaco Black Jack...IS it resistent like prox?

Let me see if I understand you:

You bought a Pro-X Dirt Series 4, because you don't have much choice in the way of BMX stuff where you live.

Now you realise it's heavy, and you don't want to use it for trails?

Is a Monaco Black Jack sturdy and well built?

One thing that you will get politely told is to write out all the words in English. 'Thx' is 'thanks', and 'u' is 'you'.

Other than that, did I understand you correctly?

I can't say I've heard of either bike you posted, but based on the pic you showed of the Monaco, I'd say it's a race frame (v-brake mounts). Not sure if that's what you are looking for.

Obviously you don't believe in the WHOLE spelling and grammar parts either.

Do you actually talk like that in conversations?

This thread confuses me.

But today, i started building up the third lander in my line, and i burried a wallmart bike in it. The frame kinda reminded me of it. :)

I've never heard of either of those bmx companies. And by the way sounds like fun, Kinetik.

Well, let me try again guys...
I bought a DIRT BMX, from a good (not excellent) company. Then, I discovered it is so heavy, aand I don't want a heavy bike.So I decided to use it for a time (to learn how to do some tricks) and then, change for a lighter one...
I want you to say me what bike attends to my specifications... I would like it to be light, but to be resistant too..Cause I'll use it for everything...Understand???

Well, another thing... What's the WEIGHT of your bikes??? (please in kilograms)

Thanks again

My bike is like, 12kilo's I guess.

Also, why the hell to Dans take down the Superstar L.M.F frame? As soon as my tax return comes in, that ***** is mine.

Sheeb
04-17-07, 07:50 PM
wethepeople, do you think your bike is light or heavy???

wethepeople
04-17-07, 07:52 PM
It's decently light.

mude
04-17-07, 07:53 PM

Sheeb
04-17-07, 07:55 PM
Oh My God... My bike is 12 kg and I think its a little bit heavy... Well, maybe that's because I'm a newbie at the sport... But keep posting the weight of your bikes, please...

PS: Maybe tomorrow I'll be posting a picture of my bike ;D

Also, it should be said light bikes mean nothing, years ago people were doing the same thing on bikes that weighed 40lbs.

Sheeb
04-17-07, 07:58 PM
Well, I'm a noob, sorry... But I love BMX...
My only problem is that the skate park of my city is not near my home...I have to go by car to there, and I'm under 18, so...

PS: 40lbs = __ kg??? ;P

wethepeople
04-17-07, 07:59 PM
like, 17ish.

Sheeb
04-17-07, 08:01 PM
Sorry for this but, I didn't understand 17ish... Other thing is that in my city, u can't find good places to make grinds and wallrides >.<"...

Guys, I don't understand your language, I'm new here, so translations will be great for me ;P

It means it's around 17kgs, I just used a calculator and it's just over 18kgs.

The language is English. For things you do not understand, you should search for. If you can not find it by searching, then ask.

Sheeb
04-17-07, 08:09 PM
Thanks... Well, when u guys started, was it difficult for you to learn the tricks???I mean, I can't even do a barspin O.O... I can only do wheelies, and I'm not too good with it, I'm training...

FitRider 921
04-17-07, 08:11 PM
It's difficult for everyone. Many people can't do barspins. You should be doing manuals, not wheelies.

Sheeb
04-17-07, 08:14 PM
Well, I can't even stay stopped at my bike for more than 3 or 4 seconds without putting my foot at the ground... And, about the manuals, I would like to know if there's some kind of hint to do it, because I can't saty with only on foot at the bike... Well, about 2 weeks with the bmx ;D

What tricks would I try to do first???
Well, I need to sleep, I'm so tired...Bye guys, please answer =)

Well it depends on where you live actually.

If you live in Jersey or by Woodward in PA then it's mandatory that you can tailwihp and backflip/frontflip before you can manual a curb. But if you live anywhere else, learn the simple stuff first. Like X-ups, no footers, manuals, tobaggans(sp?), tables, tire grabs and so on. Maybe a 180 or 360.


That part about frontflips and stuff before you can manual is true. Those incline club kids, can't even manual. Hahaha.
