Dirt Jumping BMX

[atcmatt]

Who here rides? And what do you ride? I ride dirt and have a free agent warbird frame, with alex tripple wall rims and all other assorted brand parts like standard, demolition, volume, eastern etc etc very much a mongrel bike. But its a beauty and wont ever break!

Let me know if your into riding..

I have a few BMX bikes too but mine are all old school 80's freestyle ones. I use them for Flatlanders and thats about it.

back in the day I had a WILKERSON AIRLINES, AND A HOFFMAN CONDOR, That was when I lived in Chicago, when I moved to so GA there wasnt anything to ride any more to I sold them both for $100! at the time (early 90's ) they were to hottest bikes to have, I used to ride vert, tried flat land, but it wasnt as fun as flying in the air, lol, also had the old school scwinn predator, wich was a super rare track/freestyle bike that was wicked strong, and I had a set of rare aluminum mags on it

I got a schwinn powermatic, freestyle. I need to build a good BMX bike. I need to find a frame somewhere.

I used to have an old Schwinn predator, those frames are nearly unbreakable. I used to launch mine off of a 3ft mini ramp (to us it was a mini ramp) at a good clip, we never had a return ramp so flat landing was always fun. right now I have a late '90's Trek TI1. i feel it is as strong if not stronger than the old predators

[SYKO]

wow, I knew only one other person that had one of those predators, thats awesome, I kinda wish I still had mine

Here's a pic of my old predator...still have it in the garage...thing is over 20 years old now. My 9 year old daughter was chuckling when I pulled it out of the shed...til I nailed a few "rock walks" and a 180 on the side of the driveway. Now she only wants to ride it instead of her bike...kinda cool.

I did flatland stuff back in the mid 80s...very limited amount of vert. As the Red Scorpion forks indicate. I biffed coming down off a makeshift 1/4 pipe. It was only 4 ft wide...went too wide coming down and augered into the dirt.

ScottZJ has the stuff...pristine old schoolers.

It still works, but definitely needs a freshening up...some day...

[SYKO]

how did you manage flatland without a gyro on the necK?

[SYKO]

I know these arnt bmx, but the crazy streched bike is mine, its all metel and about 7 feat long! I painted it about 7 years ago, take it to car shows and ride it around started from a early 70's scwin 26 inch beach cruiser, the other bike is my homies's sons bike that I built for him to give to his son for a christmas present. pretty snazzy huh?

My performer and my Haro Master being built.

If everyone's gonna be postin pics I want in on the action! This is a mongoose decade that I'm currently restoring. (actually scott I was going for the haro look)

[Dusty]

shoot i still ride BMX rele only trails but i do do some street and some park...maybe one day ill pull out some of my videos...i ride a vegas...but do have an old school...80's model mongoose frame......

[RedRider_AK]

I have an old-school Dyno "Air" chromoly frame, Free Agent dirtjumping seat and rims, cut-down Mongoose bars, Mongoose "Fuzz Pro" fork and stem, and Duro Marvick tires.

Quite a conglomeration, but the bike is freakin' bulletproof. It's been launched off of 5 foot high tabletops and landed flat with no damage.

Zoom Zoom ! ( my current mode of transportation ! )

I'm ordering some custom motors pretty soon to fit BMX frames.. since you guys have so many of them.. can you please tell me the dropout width of those ?

MTB's have 10mm thick axles.... but most BMX seem to have 14mm.. are there other standards ?

[ATCWRENCH]

mines not complete old school but not new either late 90's Trek TI 1. if anyone knows where to get info and/or reviews on this bike I would appreciate it. I would like read up on this bike and see what its key features are. I didnt put the stickers on it, they were on there when i bought the bike about 6 years ago.
