Fortunatly I paid no where near that for it, but it's a bloody fun bike all the same

If i could fit my tall a$$ on a bmx i'd be out there. I remember tearing up the neighborhood on my bmx..building ramps...smoking the rear tire. Fun stuff

Mike's not exactly a short ar$e himself.  

Nice one mate, just try not to destroy any more joints.

Oh I'm 6'2'' so I don't fit it either

I can just about sit on an pedal it, and there's enough room for my 6 year old boy to stand on the stunt peg's, so we had quite a laugh skiding and sliding everywhere, and jumping of curbs

Sudenly I'm 12 again

I make no promises

Well I sadly busted the rear wheel on my tourer, and to get a new wheel or a decent second hand is going to cost a fortune, so this is a nice bike to hack about on to work, or down the woods with my boy

Right I'm after a stunt guide now, as it turns out I'm more than a little rusty

Is this the start of a mid-life crisis?

He can't answer you now...he's out shopping for hoodies...

And what of it mister

Possibly a mid life crisis, but I bloody hope not

Good for you! If I wasn't so d****** old for that,I'd be on too.

I have very short legs and a long body so BMX's are well suited to me . I'd love another    16" wheels right ?

Sounds evan better , but I thought BMXs had 16 inch wheels  anything bigger is what they used to call a cruiser . But I may well be wrong

A lot of the very early ones did I believe

But I they quickly realised you needed bigger wheel's riding off road , face planting get's pretty old, very quickly

A BMX with 20 " wheels sound very appealing

Well the comparitively cheap too for a decent one

You've got to spend over 400 notes for a ok-ish road/tourer/hybrid bike but just over a ton will net a good bmx

Sounds like a good pub bike to me  btw I've started to get back into push bikes as I ride one at work while I patrol the quay

Good man

You'll be able to burn off those beer's now

Plus if you got a BMX, you'd all be able to use it, infact one of your wee one's would probably claim it

[Grant Lamontagne]

Gorgeous bike Mike!  I gave up the BMX when I had my knee destroyed.  Had nothing to do with the bike, but I found I just couldn't move properly with it and do the stuff I could do before.  I was never this good:



but I had a damned good time with it!  Nowadays if I tried any of that I'd be looking at least at a three week stay in the hospital!

Strangly it seems if you don't practice you stunting skill's for, oh say 15 years, you lose them

You should still get one for work though boss, it'd make counting all that gear a bit less boring

I acquired all my stunt skills purely by accident,and dang..... did it hurt! Going a bit off topic(as if that's anything new around here ).I used to be down on hybrid bikes,but I've been giving them another look,and I like what I see,and I wouldn't mind doing a little,light  off road cycling.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Hybrids are pretty good for town riding, especially now they've started to use hubs ( ) 

And there a lot less tiring to ride, if not as fast

Need mud guards after this morning

Got a very wet arse

That's why I make my own bike shorts with cling wrap...

You are such a big kid!

I'm having trouble picturing you on a BMX - 20" wheels are not exactly made for big fellas like you!

Pics?

That's almost a good idea!
