So since there has been some skateboarding threads, I've yet to see some bmx threads so I thought i should make one, If anyone is interested.
So tell me/others what your currently riding, how you ride them or where you ride them(dirt/street/vert).
I currently ride a Dragonfly DFX(black) with Birdcage wheels, Animal cranks and Sunday riders handlebars.(will post pics in the morning, it's 4 am here)
So facepunch tell me about your experiences and stuff

i used to be into bmx when i was 12, then i lost interest.

it's meant to be bicycle motocross but it's missing the moto part and there's no x
I remember really wanting a BMX bike when I was 12.

not really ridiculing, I actually was into bmx when I was 12
I'm ridiculing you right now though because you apparently took that to heart
I bought a bmx because i wanted to flatland like a pro. I cant even wheelie. Now Im thinking of selling it because its in my friends place in another country
I bought a BMX because I wanted a bike to ride. I think I broke it though, there is always a weird noise when I pedal.
I used to ride bmx shooting off a tiny cliff like a motorcross. But then I dislocated my wrist when I land
BMXing just never interested me, doesn't really capture the visceral entertainment of longboarding or skateboarding
I mean just riding one is uncomfortable for me and it probably takes years to get good at it, even then the BMX community probably isn't that big or even that mature
Speedriding is where it's at, baby!

I've started BMX'ing in 11 untill i got 15, then i sold my GT BMX because i've lost any interest to it.

The actual meaning of bmx came from BMX racing.
Motocross is actually a loose term bunch of dudes on a scrambling across a pre-determined track. So BMX means a bunch of dudes scrambling across a pre-determined track on a bicycle.
This is BMX,

There is an active cycling thread in the fitness section.
I'm in love with BMX. I don't do it (wish I did), but I love seeing it. This documentary I watched was amazing btw.

Around here, everyone who BMXs are little annoying spergs who shit up the parks and snake your lines and completely suck at BMX. I now see BMXers as little kids who were too much of a bitch to learn how to ollie, so learned to bike instead. I know there's some cool shit people have done on bikes, but even then that shit is still only marginally cooler than scootering, which is gay as fuck.
I like seeing the freestyle stuff, but I've done more BMX racing. Just couldn't find a good course with plenty of hills for both BMX and motorcross
I dunno where you all live, we've got some really impressive BMX riders here :v:
It's a shame it's seen as a kiddy transport bike though
As interesting as BMX I think an all round cycling thread would be good.
I personally commute etc using a Dawes Chilliwack hybrid. Simple thing but my god its robust and gets me around quickly. The roads were I live are dodgy so a road bike is a little risky to be running on them
(not my photo, but the same bike model and colour)

oh shit sorry my bad! I need to venture more into the deeper realms of this forum
I only know how to do some basic tricks, like Bunnyjumps, barspins, 180's and stuff like that, but i don't ride for the sake of becoming a pro rider, I ride because it's fun, relaxing and I love smooth landings
I used to really be into bmx, but now my bmx bike is just for cruzing up and down the block. it transferring me to the biggest interest and consumption in my life right now, which is mountain bike racing.

Really wanna splurge since my last bmx's where major pieces of shit and i never got too far into it
Damn I like tho look of those.
Maybe it's seen is a kid thing because kids are clueless, but with the right people BMX is pretty badass.
