You're *****ing and moaning about how everyone should race, and that kids aren't getting into BMX because dirt jumping is too hard. In case you haven't noticed, you never see BMX racing televised, so kids tend to go towards what is televised, which is freestyle. What little bit of racing people do see, is generally pretty lame (ex: A photo of a gate snap! How exciting!). After all, what looks cooler to the average kid? Some racer dressed in leathers, doing gate snaps, power wheelies, and speedjumping two inches over some glorified speedbumps, or somebody doing a 360 lookback fourteen feet up over a thirty foot double? That's a rhetorical question, by the way.

As for your highschool comment, I'm in college, and have a job, and I've been paying for all of my own parts for years.

On a sidenote, you sound like some burnout racer *** who's bitter and salty because you couldn't cut it at the trails because there wasn't anything you could manual over. In case that's the truth: get over it.

You are dumb.

i really thought someone might be into riding bikes in general and get excited. i didn't think this was full of ignorant "extreme athletes". well i was wrong. sorry to bug you "after a hard days riding" im sure if it was that hard you'd quit.
please forgive my excitement i wanted to share.
im obviously not a member for the bmx portion of the site.
carpe diem, and ignorance is bliss, right?

No sh1t?

quote dat!
oh and drink more beer! it's sooo good for you. you probably know how to have a really good time!

I have many mountian bikes and i'm a sponsored DH rider. I also own a fixed gear which I built and ride quite often, I owna unicycle and i'm building a tallbike.

I'm pretty sure i'm a more diverse rider then you.

Also, we took the time to learn to ride, beleive it or not we enjoy BMX, thats why we do it. Alot of people who start and quit usually arent very motivated in the first place. From your current stance, flatland would be dead because it takes the longest to learn, but guess what, there are still plenty of new flatlanders.

In short, get cancer.

I like how the guy who's younger than me is commenting on this. Although I still drink, those days are past me now.

Also: Get cancer.

i like that too.
that's cool you race downhill and ride fixed. it's awesome to see a bmxer who is not just a bmxer.
no i know that learning to ride well takes time and patience, but i was just thinking about how bmx was so huge. and my theory is that those tracks were really easy, flowing, and fun for everyone to ride. so everyone felt like they could try it out.
i never intended to start an arguement.
you are a diverse rider, you may think you are a more diverse rider than I.
Also: Get positive.

Oh there is nothing worse then having a fresh new lip roller or have a foot put through it because people can't get through the section.

Good ol' park and street

Says the guy who thinks that BMX is dying because it's too hard.

News flash: Nobody here likes you.

I like this thread, it shows off what we do best, annoy non regular people

Yeah! You better PM Madman about changing your username to STALEsalad.

OHHHHH Pwned!

Is that even how you spell it?

I'm not funny.

here... quote me somemore.
oh and i know you don't like me. but thanks for the heads up.
you should start a thread about not liking me. that would be so rad.
::::: sweetass.

oh hey... one more thing. does anyone understand what im saying? or do you just think im complaining? because i was just wondering if anyone was into the idea of racing being fun.

Lose the rollers and the clipless pedals and it might be fun.

Pump tracks are funner.

Faxed.

Agreed.

Rollers are amazing. I mean what other obstacle singled handedly can make people not want to ride a line or not be able to get through it. Everyone around here can't ride rollers right, so i put rollers in my lines! Plus they are fun make pedalling easier.

Not to mention there is nothing funnier than watching someone launch a roller on my line and land on the takeoff then case the hell out of the lander.

Oh, I don't mind the odd speedbump in the middle of the trails. I'm referring to those tabletops with bumps on either end that they refer to as "doubles" in the ABA ad NBL. Seriously now.

Haha yeah those are weird. But i have to say i liked going to my local race track becuase their "tripple" is probly a 20-30 foot gap and i wasnt even scared since there is no "open gap". Made me feel good that i was hitting that! Most of the jumps at our trails here aren't any bigger than 15ft.

EDIT: Your site appears to be down. And what's up with the new name?!
