My first wheels just didn't last very long, mostly from insuffficiant spoke tension...

Caveat: I don't ride BMX.

Bottom line: If you care about this wheel, then I would recommend taking it to an LBS for them to finish it off.

That is all.

Buses are the worst. They don't go to the other side so they're like 5 in from your face, and they honk their horn.

There are plenty of reasons to be me. One just happens to be being overly sexy.

It's called kidding around. You were a kid once... I think.

What's with people from other sections suddenly coming into the bmx section? They always seem to say something negative...

Well if you plan to stick around a bit you will realize that we like to joke around a lot.

I'm very proud of you for riding BMX.

Nah, we've had problems with a few jerks from other parts of the forums coming in and acting like dickbags.
