Also what do you all think about the color, I kinda dig it.

Looking for the longest steer tube so I can add some more extra spacers to current set up. Not really familiar with offset

Fit 22", S&M, Primo, and Fly parts sprinkled in. Trying to put together something fun to ride as a 40yr old, oldhead. Should be fun!

I bought this bike of my cousin about 10 years back. No idea what frame it is but I believe it was a signature.

Anyone know? Any help is awesome thanks

Nothing special, but it was the biggest wedge I’ve 180 off!

Let me know how I did . Score or bore ?!?!

Been riding on this gt freecoaster for a few years now and just now noticed it wobbles slightly when I grab the wheel and move it side to side.

Do I need to tighten any bolts or is this normal wear ?

At 45, it’s fair to say my centre of mass has changed a bit since my 20s! So getting back on the bike has taken a bit of time and patience.
After a couple of weeks of cruising around in the neighbourhood, I’ve built enough confidence to see what I can and can’t do at the park.
Today was day 1. I literally haven’t bunnyhopped in 16 years!
What surprised me was how strong the muscle memory was. Within a few tries I’d landed a hop to manual on a little manual pad - my favourite chill trick.
Then I spent a bit of time on a 6ft transition, slowly working my way up to the coping and finally airing the rear tyre out! Super happy with this!
Last on my list was dropping into a 4ft bowl. I’m not sure why but it took a while to build up the courage to do it - I nearly chickened out. It was like I’d never done it before! But eventually I did it - of course it was far simpler than I’d built it up in my head to be!
All in all I’m super stoked with my progress. It’s baby steps but it definitely didn’t feel as squirly or alien as I’d thought it might. I didn’t hurt myself, but I am definitely feeling some sore Muscles I haven’t used in a decade!
For those thinking about getting back into riding - do it! It felt awesome!
If you’ve already taken the plunge again, how long have you been back, and what tricks are you working on - what’ve you lost, what’ve you learnt that’s new!?

What have I got here boys. I got a limited window to pull the trigger on this thing for a hundred bucks. Is it a Dave mira ?

Another Unc sesh at some really dope parks.

Has anyone else went from 175mm cranks to 165 and had a hard time with certain tricks?

MAN , I used to be able to snap 5 cabs , full cabs, slider full cabs and now I cant seem to find that sweet spot with the shorter cranks. Should I just slap my old twombolts on and count the loss of the new 165s or should I keep at it for a bit.

Im pretty sure this is the reason my bmx makes a loud clashing sound whenever i hit something hard and put too much pressure on the pedals/bracket. What do i tighten to fix this? I assume the pedals arent meant to go back at all

What amazing news this is. Sparkys is back under Bonner family ownership and they are moving away from the kiss of death that is source bmx. Hopefully this means we can get the parts in the UK again after the disaster that was the source merger.

Just wanted to share one of my favourite tricks.. :)
