The thing I don't get is that he is saying that he isn't a typical BMXer? I don't quite get that. Does he mean he doesn't look like the vert riders that pushed the sport into the main stream (Hoffman and Mirra) or that he doesn't look like a typical street rider? I get it if he is going for the latter but I'm pretty sure 'dude from the East Coast with pegs and no brakes' is the image of a street rider and has been for years.

I run Gt driveshaft cranks on a lot of my bikes. They're from 99 2000 I think but I picked most of them up from 2009 on. They were cheap when I got them but now they are getting collectable. As for age in terms how long I've been riding them, I've been running a DK Jump stem since 2003 or 2004 and have a Nokon cable outer and Tree OG sprocket I got in 2006.

The blue barcodes are a gloss blue that is quite light for a navy blue. I think the midnight blue was dark a matte finish.

I think I used 182 or 184mm for my regular (not low flange) rear hub. 188 seems way too long.

somebody has to have shit on the floor and walked out

I worked at a Toys R Us during high school and uni. Kids used to randomly dump in the store every now and then. Of course they would jet and some staff would have their day fucked up. Maybe it was actually staff. Maybe they were standing around the corner, watching while breathing heavily just getting off on a teenager playing with their shit.

How does the coaster feel?

The only thing I don't like are the different flange sizes.

Man, for a brand new coaster that is a very minor thing to pick up. Sounds like it must be good hub. Keep us all posted!

Bike looks rad. Pegless ftw

I think Basel is pretty small but there is a pretty good indoor park there.

White ones look like Cults. #2 looks like maybe a Kink fork.

You like Cult?

I wonder though, is liking Cult liking a new brand if you're a fan of Robbie Morales and Neal Wood from BITD?
