There are a lot of kids around where I ride that like to have their $1000+ bikes but cannot ride worth shit. I hear them always talking about all the trendy parts "oooh, I wantz some pimplites!" or "Where can I buy somez more white partz!!!@". Seriously it's so annoying. Then there are the kids who buy a XC bike and attempt to turn it into a DJ bike by addind BMX parts...

Buy the right bike for whatever your doing. Seriously

You need SOME skill to have a decent bike. Start with the lower end bikes and work your skill level up, then change over to a bike with the genre you like best.

I think that the bike quality only matters upto a point, obviously a kid will ride better on a 3 grand dh bike than a 30 quid halfords special, but i think that passed the 1000 pound mark (new) it is the skill lever that makes the biggest difference.

im not an amazing biker but i bought a good bike so i wouldnt be afraid that my bke wuold just fail on me if i tried something, so in the end a better bike means more reliable which means more confidence in the bike and yourself, which means progression

i agree with most of this.
i went from a walmart bike to a kona stinky in a year. i saved up and worked for it. sold that bike, got a commencal supreme dh. now im in the process of selling the commencal frame and getting an intense M6. im 14. i worked for the money, used money from sold parts and gear, and just put money aside to NOT spend. saving is the best way to do things. my parents just give me allowance and some money for holidays.

Personally, when i have a kid he/she will have THE nicest bike possible. if he wants a stinky, i'll get him a foes. i dont care.

if a bike doesnt hold you back, you have room to grow.

Just don't pay attention to the posers. They obviously have no talent, and like the Corvette analogy made apparent, it will become obvious.

I don't now what this "sag" is, all I know is that before my skinnyjeans ripped at the crotch from a hilarious wipeout, it always looked like I was smuggling kielbasa. Which can feel kinda of revealing considering I am living in the largest rainbow village in Canada outside of Montreal.

Ya, I edited my earlier post, because I forgot to quote so it didn't make sense, so I re-wrote it, then wrote another lol. About the below the waist thing though, I understand now. Too hard for me though. Born with a bad case of the Ghetto booty.

sagging is when you wear yourpants lower than the waist
