yeah, so who rides?

i used to ride BMX back in the day, until i got a stress fracture in my back. then i got back into it, then tore everything in my ankle. i tried to get back into it after that, but everytime i jumped, my ankle would kill...it sucked, because i had some really nice bikes. i rode Mongoose for a while (before they went walmart). then i went to a Specialized T.J. Lavin Vegas dirtjumper. heavy as hell. my last bike was by far my best, which was a DK General Lee. decked out of course wink.gif.

so, i got older, taller, bigger. BMX bikes got a little too small for me, and i was in college, so i got a MTB to ride around campus to class and all that. after riding casually a while, i decided to get into some Urban MTB, and eventually some trail riding. my bike is nowhere near the nicest out there, but i've been upgrading it over time.

i stopped riding for a while recently, as i've had other things going, but i'm gonna get back into it, because i need to have somethin to do that's not a damn car. anyway, so here's some pictures of my bike:

that is a Specialized Hardrock i think...but most everything is upgraded, cept the crankset, which is coming up very very soon.

anyway, who else does it?

btw, if anyone has a nice set of MTB cranks w/ a bottom bracket, lemme know. i prefer black in color. wink.gif.

i used to BMX, then i started skating. I notice one thing, everytime i did something, i always modify it. things ive done - 3 peice cranks, new chain, chain tensioners, aftermarket chainwheel, a whole new brake setup, and two different sets of pedals (regular and bear traps). the bear traps chipped a bone in my shin and they hurt really bad.
