back in the day I rolled a Mongoose Supergoose. If you had a PK Ripper, Hutch u were the ****..goin waaay back.

 

yo SO THIS DUDE TALKED ME INTO BUYING A --NEXT---i RODE THE BIKE 2 TIMES---BENT BOTH CRANKS ----RIMS --AND STRIPED THE TUBE WHERE THE HANDLEBAR POST SIPS INTO THE GYRO-----WTF--- THE BIKE LOOKS TUFF AS HELL BUT I GUESS IT WAS MADE OUT OF OLD CANS

 

yup, looks are very decieving. Next is walmart ****. Some of them say "Shimano equipped" stay away, because if you tear the bike down, the only thing that is shimano is the shifters and the deraillers. nothing else ie: crank, bearing sets, rear sprocket cassette, or hubs.

take the bike back, get your money back, wally world usually gets it back, and go to an actual bike shop and spend some hard earned cash on a real bike.

 

yup,
and spend it on a WTP pony like me
or a KHE .. those are the bikes if flatlanding is youre thing

 

Man, this thread brings back memories. I had a couple Dyno VFR's, and a Robinson SST. That SST was my favorite bike. I had a GT Air for a while too. I had a funny sticker on my Robinson, it said, "I'd rather push my bike, than ride a Huffy!"

 

i used to rock my old dyno gt way back in the day

 

i still got a hutch trickstar frame,but i hooped it out a bit,its now got ad990 mounts,1 1/8 headtube,and double thick dropouts.i had to retire it cause it was to short for my style of riding,but it is a great flatland bike.does anybody remember CW,or MCS?

 

I used to rock a haro Master team bike...Got it off one of the dudes from haro forget his name...Thing was a tank but was the best bike i ever had. Had pergrine 48s hubs and wheels..redline 3 peice cranks..Some crazy slick tires..had the ad-990 brakes and **** that bike was pimp...Now i got a free agent BMX, A specialized stuntjumper for the trails..Bikes are still the **** to hope on and tear up

 

 

Hey Tony, I'm the guy that swings by you and Kyle's joint who has the Trek MTB that stunts it out. Goto these guys in Pompano, Atlantic Bicycles ( http://www.atlanticbicycle.com/ ) and ask for Santiago. I bought my unicycle from them and have them get all my maint/parts from them when something finally breaks on the Trek. They're on Atlantic just west of 441. Just tell them what you want and how much you want to spend. Santiago knows more about bikes and how to set them up than you would think that anyone would ever need to know. He drops $4k+ on his own bikes for trail riding, etc.

This thread brought back the "days". I never had the $$ to rock the Team edition, but i did/still have the GT Pro Frestyle Tour..just can bring myself to part with it. Its still a Moms house..man..the majority of stunters used/still are skaters/flat landers, we just upgrade to bikes with more HP :YEAH

 

i raced bmx back in the day a had 2 pk rippers and cracked both the frames i half by the z

 

forget atlantic bicycle come support me i got my own shop

if you need something hit me up on the pm

 

so Tony,
have you found something?

 

I ride a Quamen G5 Bowls frame. One of the best frames you can get. I ride with the owner of FlatlandFuel, so he hooks me up with all of the newest shyt. www.flatlandfuel.com He's got a lot of good deals on the latest stuff. If you are seriously interested in flatland, check out the Hoffman Momentum, the WTP Pony, or the Fly Micromachine. All of these bikes are great for starting off. I've been riding flatland for about 3 years now. My first bike was a haro shredder, which was good for all around stuff, but it wasn't good enough for flatland. You want to find something with a short top tube, and a short rear end. i'd probably say that anything over a 19-19.5" top tube is way to long. I think my Quamen is a 18.5". I'll try to post a pic of my bike sometime. The dayum thing has like $1400 in parts on it. But one last thing - Follow everyone's suggestions on staying away from Walmart or places like that. I go into those places every once in awhile and look at them, and they don't tighten anything up on them, and they are weak in just about every spot on the frame that needs to be strong. Hope I helped in any way for you man. Good Luck with learning flatland.


Check out www.pedalbmx.com for their flatland forums too :YEAH

 

I heard that quamen is really good
If I ever need a new frame (if I wreck my pony, or if it should get nicked) I'll get myself one

-76.5 degree headtube angle
-18.85 inch top tube
-American bottom bracket
-3/8 inch dropouts

and flatlandfuel has good deals. So check em out Tony..
to bad I dont live in the US (shipping rates)

 

the fly bikes micromachine is the next best thing toa quamen clad/ bowls frame. ive got 1 an with a 18.75" top tube it rides sweet.

 

one of my friends rode the fly for awhile. it seemed like a nice bike.. and i know a lot of other people started getting them too.
