    i rode bikes..i did alot of DH and freeride but i never was a fan of those, ... them scene kids seem to ride em alot .. with their tight little shorts and thrift store clothes . ive seen kids do manuals and some crazy powerslides and stuff with them which is cool tho ...

    There still mad uncomfortable, though.

    All of the really good ones are much to expensive. Too expensive for a seat cushion/cover.

    yeh .. bikes are fun. i was like forced to quit it kinda sucked cause i loved the sport. i got sponsored by the local shop for freeriding . did some contests and shit won a few .. moved up north .. built trails in the woods with a buddy .. this is when shit started to suck.. i got hurt badly.. money was tight .the shop wasnt doing good and they couldnt hook it up as much like they used too...i snapped my frame (rm7dh ..frame alone is like 2+ g's) that was like my main ride... took out my spare frame it was an older rm6.. snapped that one too .. moved back down south for the summer.. hurricane came and destroyed all of the bike trails and parks where i live .. the scene pretty much died in FL after that .. mostly everyone i knew in the community stoped riding or moved..( the shop went under due to bad owner swap ... i couldnt afford paying for bikes and parts since i was getting everything for free before). i sold my bike for 300 dollars to some kid and bought a bunch of weed... end of my biking career.

    Fixed gears are dangerous as fuck, they're designed for people who are not in their right mind and wish to kill themfuckingelves and others. You gotta be crazy to ride a fixed gear and a populated city and even crazier to ride one with no brakes, I got mad bike messanger friends believe me they are this nuts they hit old ladys and taxi cabs all day long and spend way too much money repairing they're bikes which cost about a G each.
    Wouldn't trade it for the world.

    i went to northstare last summer on a friends M1 razor,fuck yes ski lifts,

    i was given a road bike a few months ago,its a work in progress.

    oh and a "G" for a whole bike is cheap. start riding down mountains not to a coffee shop and frames start costing 3000+

    they are fun as hell. I know they get a lot of crap for being the hipster ride of choice, but I love them. They are so simple that they are beautiful. here's a pic of my ride.
