I pretty much only care about Bear corp. or Moellers brands.. Deco seems cool though..

I don't even pay much attention to T! (Which seems more like an American based Fly bikes now).

FBM doesn't have much for products that set them apart from other brands now.. etc etc.

I guess I'm just losing touch with bmx..

I think everyone is forgetting when Primo dropped John Povah and the entire team left.. Or the time they dropped Corey Martinez and more riders left.. Primo drops more riders than Rosanne Barr drops shits.

I quit buying Primo stuff 2 or so years ago when I couldn't get ahold of anybody who knew shit for customer service.. I've tried again recently but still nothing.. I ended up getting some help with a Primo Remix and while it's worked fine so far the bearings are so tiny I'm sure they won't hold up so I will probably part with that soon..

Unless they fixed the pedal boss on these I have no interest in them and if they did it will still likely be the last thing I buy from them..

Really wish other companies would put some solid R&D into aluminum crank arms.

I had to stop, I have like 6 frames and no space.. I would still buy. All of (Nitromors?) T1 stuff if I could though.. I also regret selling my OG T1 Byrnes on here.. I made about 50 bucks after shipping costs and it kills me to this day..

Its new owner did a fucking killer job with it though..

Also, Bobby.. If somebody wants to buy my Elf I'll send you nug, booze and candy haha.

Is their freecoaster running on pixie dust? Wheres the cromoly drive side guard? Is the Simian hub real or something Skomar made up while smoking ice?

Atop that, what has Odyssey not told us about, I'm sure we'll see something nobody knew about pop up at interbike..

Hey Bobby, are you still working for Full Factory? What made you pull the trigger on an S&M/T1 and a Standard? P.S. Those Cult gum tires slide on any surface.. they're pretty much the worst thing ever.

Good shit dude. Even though I hardly ever run pegs I still feel obligated to do my first handrail(down stairs).

I'll do a backflip if you do a handrail.

When did that ever happen?

RNC sprockets were priced pretty close to most aluminum ones, and they were much thicker than the more expensive profile ti stuff. 2004ish?
 I figure by the time sintering/powder is widespread enough for companies like that to have a hand in it, aluminum sprockets will be 80+ dollars, and I could see the ti stuff fitting into that range...

Hey, if this is the same ol Alaskan, do you still have that video of you doing the whiplash down stairs in the snow?

Rode the living shit out of it, in the last 2 days I've ridden street, Visalia skatepark, Tulare skatepark, Orange Cove skatepark, Herb Bauer Bike Shop in Fresno, CA and Kaiser park in Fresno as well and I had a blast! Blew out some more spokes and got a flat at the end of the night tonight.. got my crank arm slides back and met a ton of awesome people.

Plus I bought some Twombolts so we'll see how those work for me, which will put me back over to RHD so sprocket grinds will be back in full effect.
