I was wondering who here has a BMX and if so what kind / have a picture?

 

[Biker]

Present and accounted for! Thought I was alone. I have a moded raleigh, you? No pics no camera.

I Bmx'd as a kid. I have a road bike now though. Is it still going strong? Last I heard it was dwindling as a sport and hobby.

 

[funetical]

Why yes funetical seeing as nobody has responded to your post I'd say the sport is dwindling.

 

[funetical]

Thanks I was just curios. Your a great guy.

I think it is exactly the opposite. Take a look around, Austin is one of the biggest cities for BMX in the country. 4 Frame manufactures in town, plus tons of places to ride. There have been tons of new dirt spots poppong up recently and tons of kids out riding and helping build.

I see them riding but the sport in general has lost its exposure. The majority of the bmx's I see people on in Austin are barely street worthy let alone able to hit dirt.

Were on the fringe so we don't get coverage like the tour DE lance. Were strong but small. Its a good ting. When you see some one on a bmx you know they didn't start riding yesterday.

LOL. Go to pinkbike.com and tell me bmx is "dwindling".

this forum just isn't big on bmx and dh. BMX is MASSIVE now. in fact its just done nothing but grow in the last decade.


I got a few bmx bikes.

I guess you missed the Olympics...

 

[Echihn]

I don't bother watching bike racing in the olympics. I watch the UCI world cup, Norba, ABA and NBL. Olympics are laaame and out dated imo.

Olympics? They have BMX now?

Yes, they have BMX in the Olympics. And they have the internet on computers now too. Where have you been?

What was this, the 2nd or 3rd olympics bmx was a part of. That's quite some time for someone not to know. Pretty sure this was the 2nd one. Don't really know for sure. Not into the olympics like mentioned. Would rather watch southpark on tv or some other mindless entertainment, or Nascar.

I have a metallic green BMX and mainly what makes the bike look nice is the colour I have held a few bicycle shows and viewers voted for my bike to win.I always came first

Need to take picture still.My BMX is stored away for winter but i ride a junkyer one in winter when the roads are not to bad

I race a Haro Cruiser (24") but just club nights and for kicks. It's a great antidote to road and mtb

And NZ narrowly missed out on a medal in the women's race. We were gutted!

I raced a Haro SX24 in Australia. Good times.
