    Anybody else do it? What is your set up? I have a Mirraco Icon Moto 2009. I have diamondback bars, odyssey pedals, a Fly rim in the back, odyssey grips, and a plastic stolen (the brand) pivotal seat. The rest is stock haha.

    I used to ride a lot more when I was younger. I kind of fell off when I got into college and started working. I still keep up with it and I'm trying to get back into it. My bikes slightly older(I built it up in the mid- 2000's)

    I've got a Kink 21.25" TT Farsider(Chris Doyle frame) with Odyssey 41 Thermal Flatland forks, Ihad to go that route to have brake mounts, Odyssey camo dipped civilian 41 thermal bars, Primo Hula Hoop wheels - 48's with a 16T freewheel - pre-cassette days, FBM 36 tooth gear(I think?), Primo powerbite cranks, primo tenderizer pedals, primo pivotal seat, kink stubby post, Animal Edwin grips, Dia-compe brakes, and tech 77 levers, and Kink OG pegs(they weigh a ton - almost a pound each). Oh yeah and a snafu gyro.

    I need to update the gearing, but I'm limited on what I can put on the rear. I can get a 13T freewheel, but I really don't want to spend the money on a new wheel set or rear wheel.

    There's another dude on here who rides. I think his name is Dave the BMXer or something like that.

        what style did you guys ride? i always loved the flat land stuff but never really did anything past doing peg wheelies in semi tight circles. this was the video that inspired me to get into it. if i had a nicer bike, i probably would have stuck with it. but mine was some shitty one that weighed like 30 pounds lol

          I haven't ridden in years, but I still have my bike. Ocassionally it gets taken out for a ride around the lake and that's about it.

            I need to get my old GT Performer out of my parent's house. I still have the composite wheels laying around somewhere, too.

            Back in highschool, I used to ride dirt trails and suburbs from dawn till dusk with a few friends. After we graduated, one shipped off for the army, and the other got into hard drugs pretty bad. Haven't really done stupid stuff on a bike since.

              I always rode trails, street and parks, looks like ollie rode the same. I started on cheap bikes and pretty much bent/broke everything until the point even my dad was like "well I guess we should get you some real crankarms, a better frame, etc".

              I'll try and snap some pics of my bike when I get home. Shit's beautiful a mid-school beast.

              Matthais is a beast. Awesome unique style.

              That thing is cherry! I love an old GT. Reminds me of being really young looking at them in magazines before I could afford a real nice bike. By the time I could afford a good bike GT was on the down-slope.

                I have a T1 Hickerson with a bunch of profile and primo bits on it, actually haven't rode too much after my coma two years ago, shattered my jaw in 5 places, crushed my upper lip, broke my hand in a few spots from nose casing after boosting a 10ft quarter. I'll post pics later

                  Woah!! I typically ride street. I do some park when I get a chance. Now that I have my license, I can easily go to a park whenever I want. I haven't done a lot this past summer because I got my license and got super into cars, but it is the only exercise I get haha

                    I only ride like once or twice a week at skateparks.
                    Having a job, 6 vehicles to work on, and a girlfriend really takes up a lot of time.

                    John Ludwick (rode for profile and was on roadfools) used to come on here a lot, but I haven't seen him post anything in a long time.

                          Damn that's gnarly.

                          I used to be super into BMX, even though I sucked at it. Had a pretty nicely built S&M Stricker. I picked up a DK Signal to ride flatland on a few years ago, but I haven't touched it at all recently.

                          The drama in my local scene back home helped to kill off BMX for me. Just wasn't fun anymore.

                              I dug my hooptie out at my parent's house yesterday, an 80's GT Performer. Holy nostalgia. When I was 12 or 13, I ripped it down to the frame and rebuilt it. My first paintjob. It's got a Poverty 1-piece crank, Poverty Sofa Seat, and some other little odds and ends. Still the original handlebars, Dyno bar clamp, and other little parts.



                              I have to find the composite wheels that I took off of it and put them back on.
