Whats up everyone

I've been bringing my BMX bike out the last few weeks while my mountain bike is getting fixed and over the past 2 weeks I've bent 3 back rims. I can't seem to find one that can take all 155 lbs of me. haha

Any suggestions to a good tough rim?

Get a Hazzard Light and some good spokes (DT Swiss).

keep the spokes tight. I outweigh you by 50lbs. and haven't had the problem, but I don't get too crazy with it either.

I'l have to try the Hazzard. But I always have used DT Swiss Spokes. I love em.

But yeah i like to go big, even if its just getting huge air. I love just feeling like you're soaring. I'm really hard on all my bikes. I went through around 7 Wally World bikes before I got my first REAL mountain bike and BMX bike.
