great guy. i've talked to terry numerous times on the phone and have exchanged several e-mails. his g/f is sposed to be hott as hell too. lol. he's a great motivator though, and one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Strange thing is, he reminds me of CBO, except on a pedal bike.

If you were observant, I'm sure you would've seen my reply on the 1st page of this post
I'm sure you probably outride me too, I'm good, but not that good.
I'm not looking to make enemies, just a suggestion to express yourself clearer, so people can understand you. Peace out,

Re: mtb vs. bmx

I think my bike is almost too light, if there can be such a thing. Giant's ALUXX frame is really nice, really solid, built on XTC racing geometry, but it's so damn light!! The bike in all weighs around 15 pounds, so light that it won't ghostride itself, like, when I ride with no hands, I often have to lean to the left, because the crank, chain, shifters, and rear cassette are all the weight that bike has, are all on the right. lol

Re: mtb vs. bmx

hehe how about the 15 kg my pony weighs, pretty heavy for a flatland bike.
the hardrock I'm building up right now is really light, its heavy for XC (wich I'm nog gonna do) but I think its pretty light for dirt-jump or freeride..
(i hope so)

Re: mtb vs. bmx

i bought this pimped out Pacific "challenger" from K Mart before they went out of business. ive been on this badass bike for about a year now and i can do some mad wheelies up to 25ft. ive been trying the trails here at Cameron Park and i see wetback riding bmx bikes and i challeneged one to race down this long road that is steap and i kicked his ***. my Pacific may not be the best out their but for hte price i can fly and could trick out anybody on a stupid bmx bike.
