My friends and I (who are a lot smaller than I) have been jumping some cheap Toys-R-Us bikes and bending the crap outta the rims and moving the handlebars all around. Thats the only damage done so far (to the bikes of course). If anybody could help me I would be a happy man. By the way i'm 26 yrs old and still a fool.
Buy a mountain bike with full front suspension - they can take the punishment that you inflict. I destroyed one mountain bike, one touring bike and my fair share of 20" bikes from back in the day.
In the BMX department, I heard that Mongoose remains reliable and you can buy one for less than $150. That's what they use on X-Games and other extreme sports. |
