i just bought a haro dave mirra pro series and there are two small street parks here in shawnee and tecumseh oklahoma. i will try to get some footage but i really suck. i used to be 10x better when i was like 16.

i am looking for some different parts or another bike, this one is nice and I got it for $50 but it is tipping the scale at 36lbs. which is too heavy but it rides very nice and for only having to bolt the crank arm back on and put a tube in it you can't beat it. here are some pics.

i will get some pics and footage of the 2 parks i ride at. there is also a matt hoffman all concrete park in okc that I want to go to at least a few times this summer, if I do I will definitly get some pics and stuff. lemme know what ya'll think and if anyone has any parts or bikes for sale and are willing to work with a poor ass father of 4 lemme know. may be interested. lol

later guys

i changed all the black out with red and took off the 72 spokes. all i can really do is bunny hop. thats all i really wanted to learn so i could get out of the way of car's and so forth while riding around town.

well i can bunny hop, bunny hop 180, manual, hop over bars, flatland tailwhips, 180s on the 1/4 pipe, can ride fakie(backwards) and spin out of it. i go to on of the parks at least every other day with my kids, it is a good way to excercise and my boys like riding as well and my girls love the playground so everyone wins.

i will try to get some footage soon, wanna get a little better before I start putting up vids.

landslide- your bike looks pretty light brother, a guy let me ride his eastern the other day and that thing was like 23lbs, i have never ridden anything so light.

i will try to get some videos of some of the local kids also, there are a few that are amazing.

thanks everyone

some of the road bikes out there get pretty light. i've seen some that you can pick up with your pinkie finger.

kaos- it is pretty light guess. i'm a small guy so i don't need anything to crazy. i'm 5'4 and 130lb. i keep burning thru tires sliding down hills around austin.

i pieced this bike together. the bars are off of my friends mongoose. the old ones were so wide. i don't have the cash to drop on all the new stuff so i just build up stuff and service it myself.
