If that hacksaw so much as touches that Fit BF frame i will hunt that kid down and end him.


I'm totally doing this to my frame tonight after work!!!!

BTW: I'm pretty sure this kid isn't the least bit serious. Sarcasm is lost to most people these days, it seems.


he seemed pretty serious to me...

I think you're misjudging him and that he's being sarcastic. Supercross frames are neither heavy nor cheap, so hacking up a worn out, used up one in a comedic way would be a good way to make fun of the weight weenies. Notice how he claims weight savings of 40 pounds, 100 pounds etc... It's obvious hyperbole, or exaggeration for sake of comedy, for the less literate. The existence of real, serious racing equipment in the background, his Redline polar fleece jacket, plus the Fit BF (indicating a freestyle presence apart from racing) suggests to me that he's probably in a committed bmx family. Young and awkward doesn't mean stupid. You notice that at no point did he attempt to reassemble the bike to demonstrate? The suggestion of hacking up the BF frame was supposed to be funny.

I'm gonna pick up another hubguard soon, got 2 glands up front and a DSG out back, just need an Animal Hubguard for the Rear NDS

Speaking of hubguards. I just picked up an fbm one. I also never really bothered with DS guards as the chain protects most of the hub anyway.

how do you like the tww?

Yeah there good, this is my second pair, very grippy, strong as hell, last forever. Slightly on the heavy side but are worth it. I put these on after running two demo momentums and to me they feel abit slow even at 80psi, but they are defo a sick tyre and i highly recommend them if you grind alot.

It should, shadow makes some good parts, If i were you i would go with a BTR though, its just the bolt type raptor, meaning female. Female hubs hold up better to grinds too

The pile of snapped bolts on my desk begs to differ.
