Swapped out the Ody freestyle classic for a race classic on my FBM so I can put the freestyle on my ltf once I get a headset. Weird seeing the FBM without a front brake.

Rode last night. Landed a downside ship to disaster, well over a year since I have done one. I used to do them so much, but after the time off of the bike I had lost them. I was more than excited.

Is there a trick to staying over the coping? I tend to do fly out 180 downside whips whenever I try them.

Took delivery of it and stuck the wheels/pedals on. The olive green looks way better in person. I'm liking bmx at the minute, can almost 360 hop which I could never do before. Probably won't get to ride it at the skatepark today cos some cunt drove into my car in the mcd's drive through so I have to sort that.

Picked up some Standard race forks for my spare today. Threw it twice, and yelled at it. Learned 180 over rail to backwards crook if that makes sense.

Yes, lean in. It sounds stupid, but I'm serious.

my friend had a big crack in his downtube, so we thought that we would snap his frame for fun, so he dropped off a small ledge and guess what?

the cranks snapped.

we were laughing hysterically, that shit was so unexpected.

My Marmoset is tightening really stupid in my forks. I have dual knight guards on it. When i tighten it one of the guards is fine but the other acts like a screw and pushes my wheel to the other side, like really bad. It doesn't do it when i put the wheel on backwards though. I would like to keep the knight guards on but don't know what to do. Only things i can think of is dishing the wheel to the other side or taking my tire off and putting it facing the right way with a backwards wheel. pls help
