Will, don't post shit using my account. you got banned for a reason. Dallas, i don't care what you think, everyone has their own opinion and if you don't like BMX then don't comment. The POD is BMX maybe once every 2 months, so stfu and/or gtfo.

I can't bunny hop onto a rail and I don't give a shit I ride mountain bikes that's why I subcribed to a mountain bike websiteand if it's my pinion I can say it you don't have to like it I don't care and how the he'll am I using ur account and you didn't even have to respond to this if you didn't want to you could have been mature and just let it go and dirtbagbiker I wasn't saying bmx riders are pussy some stuff they do to comparison of a mtb is crazy I respect bmxrs just not there place to be on a mtb site that's all

bmxzach (Jun 27, 2010 at 22:19)

The "don't use my account" part wasn't referred to you. This started out as a MTB site but has adapted to all orientations of riding. If you respect BMX then don't bitch when theres a single BMX POD every 2 months or so.

so i have a wonderful idea for the next time i do this rail. no bench for one due to hoping off the bench is kinda P*ssy Sh*t. and i seem to be doing Luc-E's on everything. and that rail is my next accomplishment.. btw dirt this summer for sure!! backflip tuck no handers are dialed on box jumps. now time for a 15 foot lip and a 20 foot gap!!!!!
