Bicycles

Does anyone else on here ride bikes? Road? Mtb? Bmx?

At some local dirt jumps. I haven't seen anyone else ride them yet but they are pretty fun

Not sure why but I laughed when I noticed your dog in the pic

Haha. She's great right? It cracked me up too when I saw her like that

Most dogs would be dodging you, not her.....lol

Used too.. I still have a Haro in the rafters I might rebuild next year. I found some black widow cranks for it and some other crap, but I am thinking a cruiser might be a better idea instead of fighting the 20 inch again.. I’m not as skilled as I used to be.. bmx is where it started for me.

I still have a set of 401 Redline flight cranks.

BMX racing was my thing till I was 16. Then all my friends quit. I still rode for years after.

I did a little BMX, but my love was/is downhill.

This was on the way back up at Winter Park a few years back with my wife. She ate is super hard trying to ride a rather large wood berm that day, skinner her thigh real bad.



My wife's specialized rock hopper, and my Black Diamond Triple "free ride" bike.



And my bike with my buddies sweet Norco at some local trails.



and the trifecta. My other buddy and his parents ran the local BMX track, so we were up there all the time before I had kids.

I got a old Specialized Rock hopper too! Hard tail..I bought it 25 years oho! Lol! And I still wear Vans.

The bike in that picture is an OG 1990s proline.. the red had faded to pink. I’ll roost a redline again someday. Just old man style!

@sreidmx I would definitely consider getting something with a bigger wheel. I just got a 26" norco dirt jumper this year and it rides like a box bike but way more comfortable.

@max 02 and @GWeakland620 I used to race bmx back in 2002 I think. I've thought about getting back out and racing but I think the closest track to us now is about 40 mins away.

I miss riding mtb parks, now everyone is pretty big into the enduro style riding out here.

you guys know they have things called engines right?

I've got one of those too but the closest place to ride is 1+ hour away atleast

The BMX community is awesome. It’s such a great family event. Many fond memories running the track on Wednesday’s and all the Redline Cup Tournaments.

Yeah, those break down all the time for me.

Biggest thing I hate about living here. Nothing is free. It pretty much cost to go anywhere

I don't miss the Bay Area at all.

I still ride. Raced on and off over the years.

Most importantly i ride with my kids all over town. My 7 year olds can do a 12 mile loop, in hilly Colorado Springs on a BMX bike with me.

All of us ride together

This was a fun pic i took of all the bikes in the back yard

For sure...That's what made us all quit racing bmx , dirt bikes and cars/trucks. Hurt myself way more on the dirt bikes than the peddle bikes though! Lol!
Plus they would always cost me 200.00 bucks every time I walked into the motorcycle shop.

loved my Redline back in the day... loved bunnyhopping garbage cans, footplants on our skate ramps, etc.. rode a couple pools with that... I'll stick to skateboards!
