1988 Volvo 740 n/a 2.3


1986 El Camino with a 305 my dad left me when he passed away a couple years ago. I just drove it from New Hampshire to Texas and back a couple months ago...at 14mpg. The one in the back doing a burnout, I got a trophy for that haha


I've now had my 1980 Ford Pinto for 8 years and it's turbo 2.3 EFI swapped.


Then of course the 93 Corolla Death Wagon which can carry 5 people and 5 bikes...

I’ve been away from BMX for a long time. It seems like a lot of aging BMX guys like myself have gotten into mountain biking. I have been mountain biking for over a decade now and I am finding that the industry is pushing trends that don’t work well with my riding style, which is heavily influenced by my background in BMX.

I ride a steel singlespeed, often with a rigid fork, on the same rocky trails in Austin where most people “need” a full-suspension, dropper-post, 500% gear range bike. I am not that strong of a rider, I just get bored with a bike that you sit “in” instead of “on.”

Have you ridden a DJ-MTB?

I started/built this spot (with help from great bros) in Austin.  (That's me on the DJ when the Marley kicks in).  I'm now the trail steward for the rest of the park, working on the rest of the MTB trails.  I wish there were more guys with BMX background who would show up and dig with me--especially, like you say, if the BMX background was tech.

what do I do?

using these forums on a phone sucks,that's why we all left this place

But, Facebook (and other apps) have made the world stupider.  De-evolution.  The Internet itself has become stupider.   

At least with forums, posts contributed to a searchable knowledge base.  With Facebook, Instagram, etc. everything is there for a few days, then just goes into the void.

Sheep should just sign the forum over to someone, or at least update the software, might stop the hundreds of spammers signing up on a daily basis.

The Bike Shop / Re: U brake jams up / does not spring back

I now tried several brakes, sanded the mounts etc. What seemed to help finally was sanding the white powder coated rim which seemed really sticky, with residue of clear pads etc. . I think the problem was/is the kinematics of the SS brakes and the high friction between sticky pads and rim.

20th Jan 2004 for me. Don't post much but I still check every so often.
Bit dead compared to how it used to be which is sad.
