I got a dirt jumper for similar reasons, I used to ride my bmx all over the place when I was younger but I rather ride my mountain bike around now but there are times when I pass by something and I wish I had my bmx with me. So a dirt jumper kinda works for both those things.

My guy, this is exactly what I want a DJ bike for. I want to commute in a tiny town (literally 18km end to end) and be able to do BMX shit when I'm in the mood. Thanks for validating my opinion.

A dropper post would be cool to put on your DJ. You can you get one of those where the lever is at the seat to actuate it. Would add a bit more versatility to the bike.

@ref498 Жыл бұрын

I was thinking the same thing. If I had the money I would put a dropper on every bike I have because it makes it feel so much more versatile and those seat actuated ones wouldn't mess with bar spins. The only problem I could see is seat angle not being right and seat tube angle would might put you too far back but having a higher seat would make the getting around town portion much more enjoyable.

That's a fine reply....I couldn't ride around on this bike hitting my chin with my knees.... I've got an '07 GT Chucker I built up.....being in a flat part of eastern England, I just bung a long seatpost on it and use it as an XC bike.....Great fun though.....I'll certainly be looking into a dropper post as you suggested for this old battered bike.....

@jasonw7053 Жыл бұрын

Could always just use a quick release seat post clamp too. I cant use that though cause my frame has an integrated seat clamp, I carry an allen key in my pocket when I remember though 😜

This is a good video, and that bike is cool... but I want to say that I really enjoyed the GTMX, and the Grouch. That sort of stuff influenced me a great deal. Growth is good too, and you seem to have a lot of it happening lately. Happy today.

@StainFPS Жыл бұрын

That's basically a 26" hardtail bike. I purchased a 29" BMX from SE Bikes lately and that's the best all-purpose bike ever, lacking a front suspension but it's fine, it gives the bike a better BMXish feeling. Nice video!

Agreed, as a Big Flyer myself, they're awesome street/park bikes, but I'm adding a Norco Rampage for more flow/jump trail riding.

I think the dirt jumper is cool and different at the same time, like a BMX mtn bike. And nice that you rode with your dad I like that.

@dvs620 Жыл бұрын

This is me, but with my single speed hardtail. I don't know any tricks, so skateparks are out. But I can bomb stairs, jump curbs and hit some trails if I want. And you're right, having a bike that can do basically anything is a lot of fun because it opens up so much more stuff to do than just sticking to roads.

The front brake can be routed right through the fork steerer then you can ride trails better and still throw bar spins!

@Walking_Death Жыл бұрын

So, I have a roadie (2 actually), a flat-bar roadie, CX bike, gravel bike, adventure bike, hardtail 29er and half a dozen 90s MTBs but "all I need" is a dirt-jumper... unfortunately, at my age that would be suicidal. Cool looking bikes, but I'm about 30 (okay...40) years too late for that stuff. yeah, there's a part of me that wants one... the same part that wants a hang glider or a jet-ski. I think there's a saying about mind, body and cheques that's applicable.

Why not a single speed with a more conventional seating position? It would seem to be more comfortable/efficient for everything but that skate park. Maybe a dropper, or just lower the seat when you want to play there.
