Idea: BMX Tech Wiki
Eggit2:
There are many reason why it can't just be added to wikipedia. Wikipedia dislikes anything that is and opinion and not fact, some of the articles like the best way to put on grips for example would never fly. Wikipedia is also some what against in depth niche articles. Think of it this way, anything you wouldn't find in a hard copy Encyclopedia doesn't really belong on wikipedia. Sure you could probably put a page up explaining the various types of bicycles and their components, but if you wanted to make a page about assembling and maintaining a freecoaster hub it would get taken down.

I'm down to help out if I can.

I think the major problem with this is that people don't care for one reason or another. Some just wanna ride, others focus on their bike or niche to much, and most don't even pay attention.
That's why I like BG, it's just a big conversation.

I am glad to see a good number of people interested in making this work. I think to gain good traction, we'll have to get the basics out of the way. Though there is probably a good amount of stuff out there on the net we could use. Please post up any Howto's, videos, etc. that you know of. I am building a list of articles we could do. I'll post as we get further along.
