SuperDeathMonkey Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 yo,I really want to start riding bmx and i've been looking around for a begginer budget bmx. I found one called a Felt Chasm on Winstanleys would anyone recommend it?Thanks Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted June 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 I'm not mad keen on that Felt, but if you scour around on there and on AlansBMX, you'll find some decent stuff. If you can push the budget a bit more to nearer £300, the quality improves quite a lot too I think this sorta question's been posted in the BMX thread in the FAQ section of Trials Chat, so check out there too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishwog Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 lmao, oh no call the fashion police! I look after my bike omfg wtfage!!!I ride my bike EVERY f**king day, for example yesterday I rode street in London ALL day, and bailed around 5 times, one of which quite badly.Day before that I rode park for about 6 hours, bailed a good 3/4 times, one of which I had to throw my bike from about 6 foot, just so I didn't land on it.I like to look after my bike, and I pride myself in it looking good, is that an arrestable offence? And as for the rear tyre, there are hundreds of people that ride the Primo Comet, and for street and park it works amazingly, only downside is that it doesn't last for as long as the averagetyre, but for only a tenner a shot, who cares?
