Also, ride real terrain? I'll take it that was a stab at me. You should educate yourself a bit there little boy.
Get lost.
I'm assuming you still think I'm one of the people who ride a mountain bike and try and replicate what BMX'ers do. I'm not. That's stupid. I'm into dirt jumping and what I consider "real" mountain biking. That pic is a good example. I only hang out here because I'm looking into picking up a BMX.
Yes, I own an "urban mountain bike." So what? I don't pretend to be a BMX rider, I just like the geometry, and I got a killer deal on the bike. It spends more time at my local singletrack than at the skatepark. I wouldn't ride BMX-style stuff on it. Hell, it's on 2.5" wide knobbies now.
And in no way was a stab at you, I was pointing out that I can only have one bike at the moment and no matter how hardcore you are, you wouldn't huck that on a 20".
Aside from that, what are you riding in the pic? Or is that even you?
