Anyone here into BMX?
Anyone here into BMX?
or used to be? race/freestyle/flatland?
i used to race in the ABA when i was 7-11 and loved it. We used to go to Armadillo Downs, McDowell Downs(non-existant now), Lonestar Nationals, and other tracks in Austin, San Antonio, and all over the state.
When my brother (Slideshow) and I stopped we were #1 and #2 in the state in the Cruiser class. I was #1 ha ha.... and also i was #30 in the 20" class and i think he was #50 or so
just curious if anyone used to/still does this or are interested?
i used to race both of these.....
my cruiser looked similar to this....
and my 20" looked similar to this.....

Re: Anyone here into BMX?
had friends growing up who were way into it back in the 20th century . hutches, pk rippers, redlines, gjs...lovely bikes. the friend with the hutch was big into it. beautiful gold on chrome w/ bare essentials: seat, brakes and shiny.
that's really cool that you and chris did well in the sport. i'm impressed.

Re: Anyone here into BMX?
Damn, thats rad!!!
I was into street & trails. I still have a Schwinn Pro Stock 2 Brian Foster edition that I use to ride many years ago.
Started getting back into it a few years ago but I'm to scared to do dumb shit anymore due to fear of breaking bones HAHA!!!
I've been thinking of getting a mountain bike lately .

Re: Anyone here into BMX?
i used to, i ran a lot of dirt tracks when i was 11 during that time i got sponserd by fox racing but lost it after a few acidents, there was a sweet little place called 7 humps in south austin, just all dirt and you can make what ever kind of jump you want, the only bad thing was that a lot of hobos that lived here by the tree line,
the jumped up to freestyle dirt, then to street, after that i went on hyadis due to highschool and baseball, but now i just ride around the block and try to do what i can,

Re: Anyone here into BMX?
we raced quite a bit in Austin and Dallas, and i think i'm gonna give another go at my old home track in Conroe.
i might go watch a race this weekend just to wet my whistle or whatever

Re: Anyone here into BMX?
i've had a redline and a gt dyno freestyle bikes from the 90's. now i'm on a diamondback frame with a bunch of misc parts. i just use it to ride around most of the time, but mess around jumping gaps and stuff here and there.
