Still ride a 98 S&M NG Dirtbike. Pitch forks, Redneck with rounded edges, wish i had the original, although it killed your knees. I ride 4pc castillo bars also. Everything has been repainted at least 4 times. Still got an S&M pad set somewhere.

You got some sweet old bmx's there man!
I used to have a 1999 24" Cruiser which was the best bike I've ever had! I miss it :( now I have a SE Mauler Pro and a 20" 1980 Mongoose frame that's exactly like yours!http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/mongoose/20522
I plan to one day fix it up with some nice skyway toughs

Where's a good place to buy parts these days?

I used to ride BMX.

Then I moved to hard tail Mountain bike, for dirt jumps, street, bit of everything.

Now I got a downhill bike. Love down hill so fun.

Default Re: Anyone here into BMX?

Havnt ridden bmx in 20 years, my last bike was a really lightweight frame, one piece cranks and I had these "z rims". Basically the outer rim was made of the same material as "tuffs" but were spoked. The could bend to almost 90 degrees and bounce straight back. Problem was the spokes would eventually get weak from all the bending and snap. I don't know how many times I had to re spoke the entire back wheel. Used to make mum make room in the freezer for the rims so the would be super straight too. Had it painted in 4 different hi glo fluro colours too. Ahhh memories

Last bike I had was a '98 Haro Revo in metallic green like this one: http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/haro/16735

There was an awesome bike track near my house a bunch of guys made with some serious jumps, I spent hours upon hours there destroying both my bike and myself. I'd say it's been around 10 years since I've been on a bike.
