I own a 24 and wouldn't take it near a skatepark. That's what the 20s are for.

I have to agree here. If you ride an MTB at a skatepark, you are an idiot and need a life.

You missed my point again there, Panama Jack.

Skateparks are for skateboards, hence the name. Further, I'm willing to bet you have absolutely no idea what kind of 24 I'm referring to.

I've ridden my freeride bike at a skatepark before. Was it the best tool for the job? Far from it. Luckily I hadn't read your foolish post before I went so I was still able to have fun riding with my friends.

And finally, out of curiosity, can someone explain why this bike would be unsuitable for someone to ride park/street (since that's clearly what it was designed for):

AHahahahahahahahahaa, what is that ugly thing? And why would you do anything on that?

Get some rigids (sp?) on it

pegs are completly useless on that bike, the wheels are still too big, fork is for wussies, why have such a small sprocket with a BB that high anyways?

That bike is for puds and ****s.

The small sprocket is so when he goes into bowls it doesn't catch it because his tires aren't big enough.

Nah, mountain bikers just drop to flat in the bowl.

As with everything

BMXers are so friendly

Us BMXers are actually (for the most part) pretty friendly. We do clown around a bit as a whole, but are nice to other riders and will help out another rider in need.

From my experience, they are at the DJ's. They're not at the skatepark.

I only ride street, and everyone I know is more than willing to help someone else out.

'cept you're bad at mechanics...

I haven't really tried to do much... if I have the right tools I can do pretty much everything other than dial in brakes.

Build a wheel? Install certain cranks? set up a rear wheel perfectly centered in the frame, with good tension, and having the brakes hit at the same time on each side of the rim?

Please tell me that BMXers don't wear girls jeans...

Obviously a pro-solar mechanic.

Unless it's a girl no, at least the people I've seen so far havent.

You clearly need to pay more attention to your surroundings, then. Half the riders out there are wearing women's jeans (or men's jeans designed to emulate women's jeans) and shirts that are a size too small.

Not where I live, I only see skaters dressed like that.

I assume you have some sort of degree in mechanics...

I wear girls jeans. But it's more for the fact that I like the whole retro tight pants era, and they don't get caught in my chain.

i lost my best pair of non-girly jeans the other day to my chain.

Wrangler Cowboy cuts for the mother****ing win.
