zonianbrat Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 i have a buddha longboard i have a nice shortboard and i have a kona downhill mountain bike with more $$ in mods than my R50 There was an ad on CL about a guy who drove a toyota tercel or something and and a mountain bike in the back of it. This mountain bike turned out to be like 3 times worth the car so somebody stole the bike. He explained in detail what the bike had on it the stickers he had everything even how much it weighed!!! His last comment was if somebody would get it back for him he would buy them a case of beer.................. There is a ton of money spent on those bicycles but they just arent my thing. Bottom line is Fueler keep that thing locked up man!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 I lived on one of two things... Freestyle/BMX bike or roller blades. But mostly the bike. I don't think there is one square inch of Corvallis, Or (including the OSU Campus) that I did not touch while on one or the other And there were not to many things there that could be used as a bike launch, that I did not attempt to kill myself on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Pickles Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Several different BMX and mountain bikes carried me many many miles up until I was 20 or so. Across city and countryside, many man miles. I've covered 40 miles or more several times on a bike. I'm actually shopping and will be buying a new bike very shortly, nothing special, but I'm getting too old and out of shape driving everywhere. Gotta get my fat ass back in shape.

Pavelow Leaks Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I rocked a Haro Shredder till I was about 18, I still have it, just havent been on it in a while. Used to to alot of freestyle and flatland riding. Used to skate before I got into bikes, the vintage santa cruz SKATE VERT sticker on the back of my pathy was a major selling point. You cant just go get one of those. lol I also surf, wakeboard, and barefoot ski, obviously not much anymore since I'm in NM, but when I go back home to NC and visit I make a point to go out and play at least 3/4 times...and I snowboard. As for other rides at the moment, I've got a '03 mustang GT and a 71 olds 442 W-30 convertible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88pathoffroad Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 BMX bike, I still ride at the skatepark in the summer. I have a '00 Hoffman Condor with Hoffman forks, Hoffman stem and AheadSet, Profile 3-pc 185mm cranks, double-walled Hula Hoop 48's with 14mm axles, Primo pedals, Standard 6-piece Strip bars, front and rear AD990 brakes with a Gyro and Oryg upper cable, Hoffman pegs on the right, an S&M 1/4" thick black anodized 44t sprocket and a Kawasaki K50 chain. It's heavy, but I like it. My bike is probably worth more than my van is, for sure. Parts that don't break aren't cheap. I've been thinking about switching to a different frame/forks to keep the weight down and give me a bit more length on the top tube so I can manual easier. There aren't any ramp parks around here anymore, so mini and halfpipe riding is a thing of the past...one day I may build my own mini though.

Jdpathy Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I was really into Flatlanding and I had Full Size pegs all the way around. bike cost me 30 dollars, and I put maybe two hundred into it.
