Got my first real BMX in 94, so 23 years. Factor in all the breaks I took... Maybe 18. And for most of those years I sucked. So maybe 5 or 6 good years of real riding. Lol

The forum has seen so many setbacks over the last 5 years (thanks Sheep  )  each one losing more and more of the old members. I don't think we can bring this place back.

That being said, I'm taking a few minutes to clean things up around here and people can still enjoy it while it lasts.

That's the one you did the swap in? Real nice man. As with the rest of your garage.

Yessir!  And thank you.  Going to pick this lil guy up sometime this month and build it into something:



Already have brand new reproduction steelies and 33/10.50 BFG KO2's patiently waiting in the garage for it's arrival.

Why haven't you posted this sumbitch on Instagram? That's awesome.

Master, was it you who had the insanely fast Talon? (Or Eclipse?)

Negative, I've been in Euro cars for the last 10 years.

The new view in my garage:



The wife had the Tiguan baby hauler out at the time, there is a Mk2 Gti in the carport, and my 4runner is peeking out from behind that.

The Mk3 will be leaving this week. Happy but a little sad about that.

Life with a baby: twice as much shit to do, half as much time to do it in.

How high are your ceilings? That's a big factor...

I'm a fan of straight transitions. In a tight garage, 4' tall ramps with a 5' radius feel good to me. I've ridden 4' radius transitions and they feel too tight on a 20", and on your bigger bikes they may feel even tighter.

My little girl is almost a month old, crazy how life goes on. I swear I was busier when we were getting ready for a baby. Now I'm more productive but I just have to balance my time better.

Really? My girl is two weeks and I've basically done nothing in that time.

Except nappies. Lots of nappies.

I'm taking care of 100% of things around the house, the animals, and my projects... Then helping with the baby when needed. Luckily my wife is awesome and covering most of the baby work. But poopy diapers are still common for me.

I've managed to get some car work done which feels good though. I need to ride more too.

houses are a money pit

And renting is throwing your money away.

I also have a 22mm Spanish BB, but I'm guessing you want mid...
