BMXers!
After a long break from riding i have just picked my Hoffman Deebo up from my mums and plan to start riding again. I know there are a few riders on here so thought it would be a chance to catch up on the scene. Im now 22 and stopped riding when i was 18ish i have always missed it but work, a house girls etc have always taken priority but i have decided i missed it too much.
My bikes got a good spec and should be upto it former glory with some new tubes and a good clean, and some new pegs as my old ones are hammered! Will get some pics up tomorrow!

Yeah bikes not bad, got a few battle scars though, if i start riding regular again it will defo need some new hubs, but may aswell just buy some new wheels, but not sure what to buy, im sure there is new stuff on the market since i left the scene.
I was practicing 180's off kerbs but just couldnt get enough for the 360, it'll soon come though.

I used to have a lil'Deebo when they first come out, but it broke at the lower wishbone,
i then got a DK SOB, slightly lighter (by 2lb) but seems to be stronger

A Deebo is 1 inch longer at the front, and due to that is slightly heaver than the Lil Deebo.
i weigh'd both frames bare, on the same scales in space of 5 min's,
but the Sob was painted, and the Lil' Deebo was Chrome, which wouldn't of help'd the wieght.
Be honest, the Sob was the worst frame (i've had) to get used to, it took over a week before i was fully comfortable on it, rather than the usual couple of Days.
No where near as comfortable as a Dirt bike, Lil Deebo etc etc.

ah you kids and your little bikes =p you should get a proper sized bike and get yourself onto a 4x track
some nice bikes shown, parts have changed quite a bit in the last 5 years or so everything is lighter and stronger

Tell me about it,
a few of my mates still ride, and i decided to go down the local Skate park about 2 months ago, (first time i've ridden on for about 5-6years, or well i rode for half hour about 4 years ago)
And all the kid's on there latest bikes, were like ' how do you manage to ride such a heavy bike'
Looking at all there bikes, if i had one when i used to ride, i'll be renewing broken parts every week.

lol my holmes is a tank compared to my blackbike cant belive it was built as a race frame
sorry i gotta disagree i cant see me doing 5ft airs, grinds, 360 a spine etc on a mtb with sus and the discs wouldnt last 5 mins after cloutting the coping a few times, mtb's have a place and thats not on ramps
heres my old ones i feel like building another azonic ds1 evo
wana get a 24" djer much better. hop spin much better. more balanced. can have hydro's and suspension forks and stil do all stuff on ur bmx
