any SSFGers ride bmx also? what do you ride?

i feel like it's a really common crossover, if only because BMXes are technically single speeds too, but maybe i'm wrong. i've noticed a lot of kids who ride track and bmx, though.

i used to ride bmx, i still would if my bmx bike wasn't stolen

I ride a SS urban mtb thing with 24" wheels if that counts.

There are a lot of former teenage BMXers on this forum, same for skaters (see the Jason Lee thread). I used to ride BMX a lot, but needing to get from place to place faster than you can on a BMX got me onto geared beaters and then FG. Now that I'm getting my balance back in tune from trackstands and stuff I'm starting to pick up the bmx again to try old flatland tricks I could never do.

I sold the bmx, but im buying a new setup this spring. but yeah, I ride BMX and Fixed.

I never understood how an adult can ride a BMX...those little bikes kill my knees.

I recently picked up a super-cheap BMX from a kid in my neighborhood who was "more into cars now". I tool around on it and work on riding skinnies and jumping curbs. I think it helps my MTB skills more than anything, but it can't hurt.

Don't sit down.

I ride a fixed BMX!

Yes.



Its a Macneil Deuce Deuce (22"), mostly Odyssey stuff (LSD cassette, 48H Hazard lites, dirt forks). The only change since that photo is that I put Suelo brakes on the back.

Its actually a touch too big for me for spinning. I'm currently awaiting my new 21.5" Seshin Megatron frame, which I'll swap all my parts over to =D

They are not meant to sit on really. Moslty they are for tricks and for standing and sprinting short distances over dirt jumps and around banked turns. Freestyle frames tend to be compact and are not meant to be comfy, but XL size BMX racing frames are long as hell and way too big for little kiddies.

I used to be heavily into BMX (Freestyle) until I went off to college and got distracted with other things. At any rate, after having got into fixed gears I'm getting interested in BMX again. Except this time I'm more into straight up BMX racing. Its like track racing, but with a way sicker course than a velodrome oval. Track racers and BMX racers have a lot in common, like being able to sprint like mad elbow to elbow.
I'd like to get a 24" cruiser and attempt BMX racing. I just bought my 3 year old a Redline micro mini with 18" wheels. BMX minis are just badass. Normal little bikes that kids learn to ride on are basically junk, but BMX minis and microminis are super tiny and amazingly light with all this high end componentry...cool stuff, and fun to work on. Hopefully, I can get him started racing in the next year or so.

I got an '84 Torker 280 that's way hotter than all this
track **** on here.

No, but I'm still looking to do stupid **** on little bikes sometime.

not sure if its hotter, but a Torker ? word!
that brings back memories.
I have a redline proline 24"
and a OM flyer in my garage but I don't want to ride a free wheel.
but hell my fixed has as much anodized parts on it has my JMC black shadow with full gold camy bmx parts from the 80's did

BMX is a lot of fun because you can dish out so much punshiment to them, and they'll usually never break.

I need to get my old GT interceptor going again, it's been collecting rust in the garage.

way back before I started riding fixed and skateboarding, I use to race bmx. it was so fun. I had an almost completely titanium bike. I think the complete bike was 11lbs.

Well why yes....i do.....pics laterz

yeah, back in the day i used to ride to bmx to a skate spot and then skate for scene points.

now i just ride my fixie to a spot and trackstand to get scene points.

I built up an old Haro Master about 12 years ago and loved it till I sold it to a mate in 2004 and he got it stolen.
I now have a Bully I got secondhand, but it wasn't so good for my commute to work being 6'1".

I <3 my stricker.

I'm thinking of this:

omg 71° headtube angle. don't do it.
Get a sledgehammer

I have a new set up in the mail at the moment.

what'd you get, mailer? i'm thinking of picking up a new ride too. maybe a specialized fuse or a redline link 7.1.
