The Biking Thread

[mikey060 10+ year member]

I noticed we dont have a bike thread(other than post your bike pics) and there are a lot of bikers on here. so post all bike related things here. perhaps state what you ride, where you ride, etc. and of course, post any pics or videos.

i'll start. ive raced bmx for about 6 years and i am currently junior pro. i went to paris france two years ago for the world championships. and last year i finished 8th in canada(junior pro). i didnt do as well as i wanted:crap: but it happens.

i started building these dirt jumps near the track last year and a week ago i decided to make them fun to ride so i built up the lip and backside. when i get some time im going to turn the second jump into a 10 foot double. the first on is about a 7 foot step up. here are some pics and a low quality video of me riding it.

these were taken before i dug out the first jump and made the lip completely vertical. but the video is from after i did that

its pretty weak, yea. but its pretty technical and is fun to jump. when i dig out the second jump i should be able to boost it pretty high.

last summer at the summer games. me in front. i like this pic...and yea the kids behind me werent exactly fast lol

this makes me want to fix my schwinn and start riding again. i put it together and never did anything with it. it sits in the shed. no pics but it is a

20" Schwinn Pro Comp frame

Black Widow crank 36/16t iirc with primo pedals

2-3rd set of rims , i dont remember what they are

everything else is 'stock' neck , forks etc.

BUT i do have a Jr. Titan T-1000 frame. full titainium frame but i cracked it near the bottom bracket jumping a speed bump. (i was ~120lbs)

yea i hate titanium after i snapped my bottom bracket (except for my wheels. they have been very good to me ).

my bike setup btw is a avent mopheus frame with bombshell F1 carbon foks. fsa carbon pro cranks, kona platforms (along with a set of crank brother mallet magnessium clips and also a set of time's both for racing) fmf carbon seat post with fmf seat, Answer alumalite TI wheels wrapped with an IRC siren in the front and a tioga in the back. profile stem and fly donny robinson bars with tan snake scale girp. and of coruse the drivetrain is a sinz sprocket with a kmc kool chain and a cassete hub(im running 34-16) .
