I am starting to get more into downhill and i am looking at getting a better bike but i dont have enough money to buy one and i dont have the time to work for enough money, anyone got any ideas to persuade them?

break a small part on the bike you have, and ask for a replacement part, then break another part and ask for a replacement and then say "this will keep happening as i'm out riding the bikes capabilities which is good as i'm improving so much but sucks as everything will break, a purpose built bike will solve that and allow me to progress without hurting myself"

Find a vid of somebody snapping forks on a cheap bike, show how shocked and concerned you are as this could happen with the wrong bike setup.

You're too lazy to work for your bike, so you want your parents to work for it for you? Some people....

Get a job instead of sponging, if you can't afford it why should they?

Get a job waiting tables for a year. sure its a slog, and its not instant reward, but you will feel all the better when you can afford it. I did it when I was your age, so can you Wink
