Both Vans parks are good. Fullerton skatepark Saturday mornings is always good too. There are a ton of parks in the area.

It’s been pretty cold and rainy here the past few weeks.

Always had and rode bikes but summer of 1999 I started racing BMX, so that’s where I start counting.

Thanks dudes! Ran a small batch for a guy a few months back. He sold all them in a day or so, so I'll be running a hundred or so more soon. Pretty much all I make now is knife parts and complete folding as well as fixed blades.

Have a super old set of Rubens on my bike right now and running them as long as I possibly can. Rear is nearly bald down the center from skids but overall great tires. Ordered a set of V2 Ross tires recently but haven't arrived yet. Seem to be one of the better looking simple, all black tires out right now.

Glad you received it, and like it. Thanks for the follow up email.

BMX is less than 5% of my business, and I often miss emails so if anyone has tried to contact me and doesn't hear back, try again please. Thanks.

You're going to be at it forever if you try and file out .1" from there. Mask or scribe it off and hit that with some rotary tools. Get close then file the rest to final size.

If you're concerned with corrosion, you can always switch entirely to stainless hardware, but the typical black oxide fasteners are fine as long as you use some antisieze/grease on the threads.
