The summer is sadly over, which means less riding. I made this thread on the old Pinkbike and it had recieved some good feedback, so I figured I would make it again this year. What did the Pinkbike bmx community accomplish this year? Post whatever you did this summer that you are proud of, whether it be a trick, gap, or competing in your first race.

This summer I learnt alot, but I am most proud of learning 360's. I've almost got hop 3's as well. I went alot bigger this year, doing some pretty big 180's and gap's but just generally becoming pretty smooth at riding. I aslo learnt a plethora of other, smaller, tricks. There is still more I want to tackle before the sky start's to spew snow such as a roof drop (watch out drewfunk!), 360 this big gap, and some big wallrides, but it will be tough to find time. Well, enough about me, what did you learn this summer?

I started just 2 weeks in to summer and I learned barspins, footjam endos, footjam tailwhips, manuals, and 1 foot bunnyhops, fakies, rollbacks...

the schoolyear means more riding for me. In the summer here in missourri it's ussually a heat index of over a hundred everyday plus a really high humidity level.

I accomplished nothing, ruined my rear hub at the end of the school year, and haven't had the money to fix the bike, or really the time to ride. New rear wheel as soon as the GF can afford it (my birthday present). I've spent more time working on other people's bikes this summer than my own. That's okay, riding season is just starting for me, temperature is cooling off and rain is wetting down the jumps.

My accomplishments this summer?

Buy a BMX. Ride around like a dick all day looking like a penis because I couldn't do anything. Learn bunnyhops. Learn manuals (sorta). Get 90degrees of a 180.


That's about it.
