O/T: Who here used to ride?

[91civichatch2571]

Ive seen quite a few of you on here who say that you used to ride. I used to myself (still kinda do). Was just wondering what type of riding you did. I was a street/dirt jumper/flatlander.

Yea i ride some street, i have a hoffman backtrailx3 but i stoped riding after i did a fifty fifty grind, and my front peg hit a brick that was up a little higher then the others, fliped over my hand bars, and landed right on my neck. So ever sicne then i've stoped riding and been trying to sell it. Anyone want it?

I used to ride street a lot...Then i bent my rims hella bad and got my car like a week before so i havent touched my bike since....i should really look into fixing it..

Yea, its hard to keep them in good condition cuz I have 3 (a hoffman, a haro i put together myself for $800 and a GT) I dont have enough money to keep my car progressing and them at the same time. I need my car so, i kinda stopped building them for a while.

[EF_LSVtec]

[Stali08]

ROFL! Are we talking about bikes? I think every american kid has been a hardcore bicycle rider at one point... If we are talking about MotorCycles I havent touched them since "The Accedent"..... If you want to grit your teeth in imaginary pain and fear feel free to ask.

I'm asking. Let's hear a story. It can't be much worse than that guy who had both his legs bitten off by the shark, and crawled ashore.
