It seems like new BMX companies can make a reasonable big buck in the first two or three years and then the brand is forgotten.

Yeah, except for Cult, they seem to have some real staying power 5+ years on?

Oh and, Fuck LZ, long live Dig and whatnot.

Freecoasters are lame anyway. No cassette clicking sound = not cool. Watching people ride in complete silence in videos is like wtf.

My purchased in 08 WTP Q-Lite that has never been disassembled or greased is the loudest fucking thing in the world, like a swarm of bees on steroids. No stealth missions with that, haha.

Still want to try a freecoaster for a bit though...

My whole bike is pretty old. Now that I think of it, almost all of it is from 08 when I built up this v1 United Trinity:



I'm still rocking the same wheels front and back (Simple Eject to Rhino Lyte, WTP Q-Lite Supreme to Ribcage), same sprocket, seat/post, Sunday forks, even recently went back to running one of those Revenge tires in the back. The stuff that has been replaced for the most part with some equally or even older stuff like used powerbites, (probably 10+ years older) Seshin Chilko bars, a 06 stem off a Fly Complete, and a v1 BSD Forever frame...

Epic. Pretty sure Christian Rigal did something on this in some video part?

Ordered a BSD Raider 21.6 and the 10" bars to match.
It's going to feel awesome.

I have been weirdly tempted to do this lately too... At 6'2" I think I could pull it off but I think it might still be overkill. Wish the Raider had a size between 21 and 21.6 though. Probably end up just sticking with my 21" V1 BSD Forever a bit longer and get some 9" bars with some upsweep and a decently high stem come spring and see how that feels for my back.

took it down a handrail finally, 11 years in the making

Congrats dude!

Well I think pretty much everything about this set up looks pretty terrifying.

Think it was posted earlier in the thread, but still pretty dope. Hamilton finally makes an edit for federal and starts producing material and then he's dropped...:dunno:

Whats the point in buying Federal if there isnt any Hamilton? are the Forte guys still on Federal?

They've been on United since, well... United began I'm pretty sure. I don't even recall them being on Federal, haha. Federal does still have a pretty banging team with Lacey and Hoffman, but Hamilton is just a legend and all-time favorite of mine.

we help him out whenever he needs it and will continue to do so

Great to hear, anything to keep the legend going.

I find it weird that he was dropped just as he was releasing vids/pics again.

I know, that's the strangest thing to me, he's just getting back into it, why not give him a bit more of a chance?
