I rode dirt BMX for about 4 years, digging trails in winter getting them nice for summer and stuff. I rode to college on BMX and stuff, but then when I had to travel further to work, I started to get horrid aching in my lower back due to not sitting down and having a bad posture when riding on the little bike.
I built up a fixed wheel bike because it being so much better for me that riding a BMX for distance, and rode that for when I needed to travel rather then to play. I then found myself thinking, could I back hop of this things can I bunny hope this stuff just light tricks I guess. I then got myself a plug freestyler with a sweet sweet fork and started to trick ride. It is fun, but nothing beats trails on a BMX. I seem to find myself on dirt/grass banks rather than a skatepark or anything street ish.
In fact I am thinking of selling the bike if anyone wants to help take it off my hands...;)
