quotes I meant to write "vertically" not "horizontally", up there. I just woke up. Kind of ruined my whole smarty pants comment.

quotes Props on trying to invent another "new" category though! It worked with the whole "DJ" bike thing. You can charge twice as much for a product that works half as well and breaks twice as often.

quotes You actually just built a BMX Cruiser. Cruisers originally had 26" wheels back in the 70's through the early to mid eighties. As tracks got more technical, with more jumps and closely spaced rollers, more people switched to 24" wheels to get more "pump" and precise control. A smaller diameter wheel allows the bars to get lower and closer, horizontally, to the bottom bracket. This gives the rider more leverage against the pedals for more "pump". Leverage is also increased by having a long font end and short rear triangle. The smaller the wheel, the shorter the rear. Increased stiffness of shorter spokes helps too.

quotes I thought Livermore and San Ramon were NBL tracks and open all the time. I hope they didn't switch to Nazi ABA and put up fences.

quotes I'm planning a day trip to the Livermore BMX track and Pleasanton BMX park next week. You should bring your Jackal out and open er' up!

i would be happy to fix everything. I was working on the side pack a little bit friday and most of saturday so i rode that a few time while meantime zio was doing the 8 i noticed the ruts and put on the wood for the time being. i have always been willing to dig everyday i was out there i was always down for helping dig. but either i always got shit or i got put with some bitch job no one else wanted, and i was fine with that but i thought i deserved a little more respect. i will be sure to fix the jump and im hoping that ill be able to put more work in.
