Kid you not, I found a PK Ripper in the basement of one of the funeral homes I work for, and it looked like it had just rolled off a shops floor, minus the flat tires and a beat set of break pads. Turns out it was the origional owners' son's who had left it when they moved out in the early 90s. When I slyly mentioned that rather than toss it in the dumpster, I could take it home and give it to my brothers (Read: roll around on it for a while, just enjoy it, and keep it as far from my destructive bros as possible), my boss who'd grown up in the late 70s, early 80s recognized it for what it was and promptly flipped it on eBay for $1100. :facepalm:

I feel you guys about the girl jeans and miniscule gearing, I just stepped down from a 45 myself when I built my bike. Out2Win, do you know a Rob Pomeroy? I grew up with his brother, but I know he raced for a stint and got some fly from GT during the early 90s.

I run a 30/10 right now, gonna go down to 28/10 when i get my new frame, guess that's miniscule? haha
I honestly know one person that wears girl jeans, and he does ride. He ****ing shreds too. I prefer slim or almost skinny jeans, too many times have my jeans gotten caught in my chain

Haha, I'm actually on a 30/11, so I'm hardly one to talk, and I do wear slim jeans because I'm gangly as hell, but not so tight as my shoes would blow off if I farted, you know? haha. Trends are trends are trends. It's all good.

Nice dude! The past like three days were amazing, a bunch of us couldn't help but ride. Here are some shots from this weekend/monday.

Tree ride table.

Double peg full rail

Tree ride whip

5ft kicker bars

On that kicker, my friend was tryin 720's, he didn't get them because he kept getting sketched out by the landing. He got full rotation everytime though.

A Front flip, back flip, 360 tuck-no, and a double whip was also thrown on that thing by another kid.

I ride. Used to ride everyday back in middle and high school. I hurt my back end of my senior year and stopped riding and by the time I was able to ride again everyone else stopped riding. But I still get out sometimes to mess around.

I havle a standard trls 250 ox platinum with pitch forks, hazzard cassette wheels, powerbites, sbc stem, and dive bars, ect.

Anyone want to trade a lhd cassette wheel for rhd?
