I used to freeride and this year rode a little street BMX, but I sold both bikes.

[factoryX]

sweet, why did you stop? I am switching to bmx right now.

[RedRider_AK]

Stopped freeriding because, at the time, my doctor told me to stop doing anything active, as I had a mitral valve prolapse. It got better and a different doctor said I could do sports, so I sold the freeride bike and built up a BMX, which I rode all spring/summer. Quitting because my knees can't take it anymore, plus I have no more time to ride.

Getting a dirt bike sometime soon.

I am old school here. I was a flat lander with my bikes back in the 80's. Of course I skated most of the time, but I did freestyle some with buddies. Here are the bikes I have...

[factoryX]

are mags metal or plastic? I had a set of metal ones on a 80's mongoose when I was 6-8. frame and seat post where the same as the second pic.

I ride street up here in philly. I used to ride alot more, MMA takes up most of my time these days. Im pushing 29 now so chucking my self down double sets over and over isnt as painless as it used to be. I still ride FDR bowls from time to time and ride around the city doing ledges and cake rails. I have a pantera with race forks, primo cassete to midway, vandero to rhynolite front, animal jump off stem, hollow bites, 3 amigo bars. yep

[factoryX]

why race forks? because of the rake?
