    BMX cruiser? cause a bmx bike is a bit small to be able to ride that far in 2.5 hours. Was it that sprocket marathon? I don't remember where it usually starts but I do remember it ends in ft. colins.

    Either way. Nice job.

    From when I was in elementary all the way through High School, I rode my Mach 1 every where. I would ride it 12+ miles, because I was bored. It kept me in shape, while I was doing something fun.

    That's as old as my Dyno Nitro, I had way back in the day!

    On a BMX bike, I just stand most of the time. The only time I sit down is when I'm going down a hill, but it's not like a Road or Mountain bike; where you can just sit and pedal like a pussy the entire time. :bashful: It's cool tho, I just stretch my legs when I'm not pedaling, which is nice! :happy:

    Man that's an expensive bmx bike.

    I just made mine from parts the most we've spent on a bike that was premade was about 400 for a street stunt bike but I guess parts and shit might have ended up that much back in the day on my racing bikes.

    WTF friendly no 3 piece crank?

    We used to do some BMX back in the day. There were always good spots around my neighborhood to build dirt jumps. I had a sick ass Redline but it got jacked, and I had something I don't remember after that but it got jacked too haha. Oh well, skateboarding was always my primary anyway.

    Thanks not my bike exactly. I had the hard seat and the seat and parts were in a "normal" position. But yea, I rode it so much that I wore grooves in the crank.

    SO I would imagine your physique to be basically a giant pair of legs with a torso. Did I get it right?

    Lol, I know if I snap kick someone in the sciatic nerve, it's really painful. :punch: I workout at the gym too, so not like you see my legs and then I disappear as I go up.

    i still have my original diamondback venom.....back then they were expensive bikes due to inflation i wouldn't doubt it if they actually cost easily $500+ in todays market.

    Man that sucker was light and amazing for jumps due to its durability and weight was before all these new makers came out.
