Dirty_habiT Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I have clobbered skate boarders before for making stupid choices.... One time I sent this kid to the hospital because he skated out in front of me when I was hauling ass, and bam, at the last second he begins to drop to the ground, and meets my stem with his eyebrow... POW!!! blood everywhere. I guess that's why they have bike only sessions on certain nights here.... also, most of the people pushing plywood or skating high heels on wheels know to watch out anyway... One of the bmx bikes weighs like 40 lbs easy.... that, and I'd imagine the average weight of a bmx'r is more than a skater, for the simple fact that a bmxer is going to be muscular all over their body, upper body strength... and that adds to the momentum of a barreling bmx bike.... anyhow, just some thoughts. I can understand skaters getting mad about bmx bikes fucking up the ledges on cement parks, but on plywood and metal coping, the fuck outta here.

I respect what yall do, takes alot of balls. but everything you guys touch you break. Ledges, rails, coping all dented the fuck up. Why don't you guys build your own shit and find your own spots?

Dirty_habiT Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Hahaha... I don't really care much about street riding. I like dirt jumps. Good try on the internet beef. Skateboarders also inherintly have bad attitudes. ...just to top your bad assness, I had a friend that some skater punks thought they were gonna just smack with a skateboard, well he broke ol dude's board and two of their faces too, I guess that's what happens when you fuck with someone alot bigger and badder than you. I'm sure the kids you fucked up probably deserved it, but I don't be rollin with no pussies and protec helmets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FBM Ange Of Death: Grey/Black. I bought the Barcode for 200 complete off a friend who had it built for around a grand and quit riding shortly after, it spent most of it's life in his garage.

Tyler Durden Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 BMX is not imitating skateboarding. I think the funniest part of the whole BMX vs. skateboarding thing, is that growing up most of my friends skated. It was so far from being the "cool" thing to do at that point that we all banded together. Never, until recently, have I heard complaints from skaters about sharing spots.... and most of the time the only people who I've seen complain are cocky younger kids. But you know what? It's fine, on those rare occasions, I tend to come back later in the evening when everyones gone and go extra hard on ledges. Then show up the next day when all the skaters are sobbing uncontrollably because theres some chips missing out of the ledge and say things along the lines of "aww shit man, someone fucked up your ledge....that realllllllllly sucks.". Disrespect begets disrespect. *Note: BMX'ers were riding street spots well before the late 90's. WELL before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sparoism Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I skated for fifteen years, and got back into bikes when I started gaining weight. At that point, I noticed that the ollies I did when I weighed 140 pounds were nowhere near as easy to pull once I hit 180 or so. If I did manage to get off the ground, I had to deal with the extra weight once I landed, and slams were no longer of the "get up and shake it off" variety, but "OWWWWWWW, MEDIC! MEDIC!" After I sprained both of my ankles in the same week, I realized it was time to find a less injurious way to have fun. BMX and skatebording are different sides of the same coin...but blading is the equivalent of a pocket full of three dollar bills. A lot of bikers I rode with at parks knew what they were doing, so I'd just ask them what they were gonna do and stay out of their line....but no matter what I tried I could not predict whether some inline kook was about to set up for a Village People jump or homogrind or just sit around and look pretty drinking Mountain Dew....it was just easier to crash into them and deal with them once they stopped crying. Most parks nowadays require plastic pegs for BMX riders if they grind...but, they still have yet to pass a "four wheels or less" rule. Oh, well...body checks still work.

Dirty_habiT Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Cloner... find some graphite brake cable lube... or get a new cable, make sure it's not tooooo short or else it'll be harder to pull depending on if you're handlebars a turned a bit too far. Also, another good thing, if you don't mind doing it, take some fine grit sand paper to your rims where the brake pads touch and sand a layer of shiney metal off so the brakes grab better. Also, that cleaner called Simple Green is very nice for cleaning your wheels and making them just the slightest bit "sticky", it'll make your brakes work very very well. Hope that helps.
