Was interested in BMXs a few years ago, but decided I was too cheap to get one. Now one has cropped up on ebay at a decent price. Bit worn but I might not like BMX's.
What are you opinions on them?

I got back in to this over the past few years. I really am useless compared to what I was but a still like messing about on my lunch brake on it. Its also great just to pop to the shops on and the like. What sort or riding are you looking at doing?

What sort of riding you gonna do on it?

Ive never liked BMX's prefer either Trials bikes or a nice 14" hardtail street bike.

Yeah that what I thought about this bike. It's a WTP beyond 2008 not the best condition bust easily solved lol
Wanting to do street really, but just generally messing about.

I don't know if I'll like it, but it's cheap so why not I guess :)

if you have followed the X games and the free style events then the name would be known.

to the BMX world he is the guru, much as Travis Pastrana is to Motorcross, as is Tony Hawk to skateboard and Kelly Slater to surfing.

or put in more simple terms, just as Jenson Button is to F1 ;)

Nice bike if its cheap give it a go. If its cheap enough you probably would not loose out if you were to sell it on later this year.

Well it's £125 ONO so I could possibly get it for £100. It's not best quality like I said needs repainting. But that would only be if I like it lol

get a bmx, ride street!

ive rode for around 3 years but had a 2 year break and am riding again now.

If the bike is mechanically fine then dont worry about the paint, mine is absolutely ruined and it wont affect how it rides.

Also you dont have to be good to enjoy yourself with bmx, so dont let that hold you back.

If you have any more questions then feel free to PM me.
