I wasn't much into BMXing myself. I love to watch BMXing and stuff,but I was always into mountain biking. Well,I still am,I just don't have a bike because the bikes I want cost more than what I paid for my truck,haha.

My last bike was a 2001 Norco Sasquatch HT. Had 4" adjustable Bomber shocks,disc brakes and shit. It was pretty hardcore. I used to do all sorts of crazy jumping and trail riding with it. I eventually sold it so I could pay my car insurance,haha. Since then I haven't been able to afford to get another bike,but it's in the plans. One day,haha

i used to BMX a lot, then i quit, gained a lot of weight, hurt my back, and now i cant ride for shit....a quick sprint leaves me panting...

i need to lose weight some kinda bad...i hate the "pill diets", but i am seriously considering getting a bottle of Hydroxycut and trying it out......once i get the weight off, i can keep it off because i dont eat bad, and i exercise enough that the weight should be gone by now, but its not...

anyways, as for the bikes i own....

i have a Schwinn z-force (walmart) frame/forks/bars with Redline double wall wheels with 14mm axles and poverty 3 piece cranks.....

i also have a Dyno VFR (made in about 98 i think) with some 68 (i think) spoke wheels off a walmart bike (gave 5 bucks for them, and its just a cruiser bike, no jumping).....all original except the wheels, cranks, and handlebars....would have the original bars but they got stolen....

then i have a GT Outpost mountain bike.....was free, but needed a back wheel and a crank arm, but i had the parts to fix it, then the bearings in the back wheel i put on it went to shit, ao its sitting in the living room upside down with no rear wheel....

then i have a "mini chopper" as my g/f's brothers like to call it...is a 16" bike with 20" forks that i built for riding around when i am bored....

then i have a 18" Next that was given to me....i wanna get some nice wheels for it and use it for fucking around on....

i also have a trek mountain bike frame, but i told my g/f's little brother he could have it, so i gotta go dig it out of storage...

all of these except the Next and the Trek are sitting in my living room...mom hates haveing to walk around them to get to the deep freeze...

Could never really stand riding a bmx, i do lots of freeriding though. Ive had a GT Palomar since i was about 11, and still have it...just alot more shit done to it lol.

I think theres about 2g in that bike now that i think about it, replacing everything with better stuff as it broke.

Around the time i first got it i did like a 5 foot drop on a solid fork, landed and the fork snapped in half hahahaha.

Now its got..
DeOre Rear Brakes (Front delete)
Billy goat bars
DeOre Hubs on Rhyno Lyte wheels
Bontrager crank
________ One Speed (Cant remember brand)
JUdy TT front fork
THor front fender

few more lil things i love just taking it out and beating the shit out of it downtown doing big drops, its so light n easy.
