Should I get it?

Re: Should I get it?
I always rode BMX until lately... If you had a mountain bike and you did the stuff we did you'd prefer a mountain bike too...
the balance point is larger.... its easier to wheelie.... easier to coaster and better for everything.. I don't know if I believe you on him busting out 12 circles the first time that sounds abit exaturated

beleive me, it's not about how many circles you hit, it's about how tight they are. BMX bikes are known for their ease of doing circles, small tires and narrow BP makes it craqzy easy to hit one tight and fast.
ask him to do a no hander and which him fall
and ask him to do a coaster, not a manuel.
tell him no body langauge AT ALL, must sit still and use the brakes only, and see how far he rolls.
oh yeah, and tell him to try this:
or this
or this
or this(this is tnuts from france, i can nearly get a special k as well, but i always fall to the side, just gotta learn to steer'em)
P.S. how far can he endo? and i don't mean hang 5, hang 5's are gay as ****, i mean ENDO, feet on pedals, sitting down, brake control only
and can he do this?
we don't give a **** about BMX flatland or anything like that, we do this cause we can't afford fiddies or streetbikes

that, and prove a point!
tell your friend to try this:
or tell him to try a merk step right into a circle, or do just no brake circles.

no offense middleschooler, but you don't know **** about bicycling "stunting"
maybe a lil bit about flatland and **** like that, but we got our own thing going here,and Mtn bikes are 10 times better for stuntin.
BMX bikes are TRASH for anything other than circles

yeah, i guess so, tell ya what though, if you want to do no handers and 370 foot coasters, i mtn bike is where it's at

a 210 foot manuel and a 210 foot caoster are two WAY different things, did you tell us about him trying a coaster? where he doesn't move his body at all? and uses just brake control?
see, your talking about flatland and **** like that, you don't know jack about STUNTIN, and it shows.
BMX circles go like this: 1.turn 2. do a wheelie
and your circling
BP on a BMX bike is alot smaller than a mountain bike, which is way mountain bikes are easier to "stunt" (DUUH!)
5ft no hander, lmfao.
I've got over 170 feet on lock, and i've hit over 200 before, If you entered me in a motorcycle no hander comp, you'd better beleive i could beat quiet a number of guys.
you told us about the OTHER tricks to, like no handed circles? can your friend do no handed circles? NOPE.
or a one footed surf?, doubt it, never seen one of those before
speacial K? seat stander?

so you had a nice bike, that was set up for flatland, um.....WTF does that have to do with "stunting"??
go get your bicycle (i know you still got one) and do just ONE no handed circle (not gonna happen)
peg maneuls, lmfao, you don't accautly think peg maneuls are harder than a coaster do you?
peg manuels on lock:

nope, it sure ain't, but we got our own thing here, and we don't really give two ***** about the X-games or what dave mirra's new bike is.
but you can't say no handed circles are easy, and you can't compare a 5 foot no hander to mine.
and you can't compare manuels to coasters
