    I found something i could waste more time on!!!!

    Ok while cleaning out my garage I found my Raceing BMX bike. Believe me this bike is tiny, light and FAST!!!! I mainly stoped raceing because i took a bad spill over the first hit(jump) going around 40mph downhill my front tire caught and i went end over end. and that was the end of that. OK so basicly i have curently:
    01 Dyno VFR $175
    XS dealy stand $20
    Profile DJ Dirt 3 pc crank $170
    SHIMANO 520 CLIPLESS PEDALS $50
    Maxxis Holy Rollers $13
    TekTro BX30 Breaks $40
    Primo V-Grips $10

    but when i pulled it out it basicly looked like crap rusty...ya

    so basicly i'm just looking for ideas on what to get it back into raceing performance. I'm problly gonna replace the chain, rear rim, rear freewheel, sprocket and fork. Anybody with some bike/raceing know how imput is wanted

    Sounds like a good first investment should be some training wheels. And don't be embarassed, I didn't stop using them until I was 18.

        well when your going down hill and petaling your *** off because the hole shot is everthing and its one of the few times your pedaling ya.

          i dont really believe that u were pedaling and going 40. on the highest gear of my mountainbike, pedaling didn't do anything going 32 mph. i had a spedometer set up properly, so i know how fast i went.

                    I got a warning from doing 42 in a 25 down a hill in a good buds 'hood. Very steep long hill. I ran the stopsign at the bottom, where a police officer was sitting. He clocked me on radar. I think my lack of a drivers license at the time was all that saved me from the ticket.

                      If you want to get back into racing, first thing to do is sell the dyno!
