I have a Dyno Slammer that I swear I'm gonna start riding again.  Who knows if I'll ever learn any cool trix?

Maybe if your awesome enough you can do a trick that would impress Hulk Hogan then go ass-sliding!

From memory here:

Blue Mongoose bike, blue Tuff II wheels, Ashtabula crank, blue anodized ribbed seat post, blue anodized seat post clamp and blue anodized handlebar clamp. The seat was aftermarket (and blue) the handlebars were aftermarket and chrome. And yes, it got stolen  :(

That is awesome and sad at the same time!

Dude, I keep telling you... being able to hop onto and off of a curb is a trick!!!

Heads up, that blog in the first post has some exploit on it that's making avast and kaspersky freakout...

Onto BMX; my first BMX bike was an old hand me down P.K. Ripper. It was surprisingly light for an 80s bike. However, I came from the era of TNT & Hoffman bikes. So in other words, it was crap! :D

You are kidding right? PK Rippers were not crap-they were one of THE most wanted and respected frames.

Know your roots. You claim to be a Hoffman era guy--Ask Matt Hoffman is he thinks PK Rippers were crap.  I'll bet he will tell you they were not.

That might be hard to find, if you mean all original components..

I wish I would have kept all of my old bikes/boards. :(
