How I started to Ride Street
This is a funny storry. Well I used to ride a cheap 20 inch mongoose target bike. I used to jump in on some dirt jumps over by my house and my dad always told me not too. So one day I went off of a small double and I landed so hard that I heard something go "SNAP!". So I looked at my bike but i didnt notice anything (hard to believe once you hear this). Until the next day when I went to ride my bike...I looked down and there was a giant rip in the bottom of the frame were the bottom tube and the seat post tube both meet. I told me dad and he said "I told you not to jump on this cheap bike!" It was supposed to be for riding to school...so anyways he decided to get me a bike shop bike...
He got me a All 4130 Chro-mo steel bike with industrial sized chain, and at the time the pedals looked Huge! So he brings it home and says, "break this one now..." The whole reason he got it was so I cant break it but I can still jump. At the time I wasnt into BMX that much (more into Motocross) so I looked it up online and I researched it...so I started to do some simple tricks (bunny hops, bar turns, and simple street tricks). So thats how I got into it.
The reason I think this is an interesting story is because most people I know got into BMX because he saw someone do a cool trick and wanted to try it. (thats how I got some of my other friends into it)
Oh yeah and my friends call me the bike expert becuase I know just about any part that you need and my dad teaches me how to fix bikes. So they come to me with a broken axel, or a poped tube...
But I probably dont know as much as most of you on this forum...

you aren't much of an expert when you call upper cables the detangler
i doubt that you can crack a frame by jumping little ramps. and where in that story do you tell us how you began riding street.

Well some of the people here can be rude sometimes, but if you're going to be all sensitive about it then you should leave or get over it because it's going to hapen again wether it's on this forum or in real life. And that story is interesting to you, most people on forums don't want to read a long story of someones life, it just doesn't matter to them. So, are you going to be a baby about it, or forget it and keep going? The choice is yours. But you cannot be all sensitive to things people say to you all of your life, it's not going to work. Just ignore them and keep to your buisness, that's all I've learned to do.
