i hate when mountain bikers say that their bike can take a beating but my bmx that cost about 1500 is just crap and their 4000dollar dh bike bends rims all the time
i wouldnt go raggin on mtbers. some people are just ignorant. i ride bmx as well as dh. i have the same respect for both disciplines(i like mtb better though). just ignore the mtbers comments. if they talk shit, then show off and do something sick!
i think dh is kinda stupid to be honest, you spend 4 grand on a bike that your going to coast down a hill on, i could do that on a 250$ supercycle and have just as much fun.
In the summer go to a dh mountainbiking place with a chairlift, and rent a dh bike and ride it for one day on all the steep gnarly trails. Then you will realize how dh is the best thing humans have ever invented. If you buy a 4 thousand dollar dh bike, and know how to do maintainace on it and never wipe out too badly it can lasts you a few good years.
i'd rather go fast on my bmx, here there isn't much of a dh demand so i don't like riding it and probably never will.
Same, I just find really big hills and race down them. The traffic sucs if there is any.
They don't scare me I just do what they say and they are happy. If they tell me to leave a spot I am riding I will, then I'll go back the next day and they will forget that they even told me to leave already
i hate when other riders dont ride with you due to your skill level,some of them are complete douchebags im always willing to let anyone who rides ride with me,so,if anyone ever sees me riding around say hey if i dont say it first....
also,the worst thing to happen to bmx would have to be zach gerber frontflip 9 set? come on,you're a robot buddy....f*ck
Riderless skateboards. They scare the crap out of me they come flying at you and if one goes under you rear wheel sideways it will take you down. Hasent happen to me but i saw it happen once.
Also i hate the ill feeling between mtb and bmx i ride both and its almost like i cant admit to riding one when im doing the other.
