What you ride/where you from!

figured it might be an idea to try and get to know the trick community a bit better, as there aint all too many of us??

Im based in newcastle, im the only guy who likes tricks up here (that im aware of) and i ride an esb :) the bikes a bit different now but this is the most recent pic i could find....

I'm Ben, living in Aberdeen, but from Edinburgh!
Pics to follow but I've got an NS Analog frame and fork, Sugino Messengers, Rigida dp 18's laced to Dia Compes with sapim spokes, Deity Villain bars, Deity Fantom stem, Bontrager lock-ons, Shitty wellgo pedals heald together with zip-ties, seatpost and clamp from my old fuji, Bucket saddle and that's pretty much it! It's a totally awesome frame, downside is the dropouts are to short to run a 44-16 properly :/
My Fuji track got totally trashed so decided i would try something trick oriented! Loving the ESB, if only i had the money lol!

I'm Mitchell
And i ride in Portsmouth, only been doing tricks for a few months but i feel like i've got the basics down!

i ride a fixei with savage bmx stem and red line risers.
everything else is how it came basically!

hey gang, i'm blake/virgil

living in stratford upon avon and i'm the only guy riding fixed up here so i'm now getting tired of bmx kids asking why my wheels are so big <700c army FTW> but here is my current:

it's an itenditi persona that i've adjusted to trick better than OTP, I'll be replacing the wheels as soon as i've taco-ed them, but for now they are holding up to everything i'm throwing at them, which might not be much as i'm only a little guy, but yeh, Holler!

st. ratford! used to know a guy from there, shredded on 24s. hugo was his name... you have that awesome wooden skatepark dont you?

its been destroyed, he only have a concrete sine and a hip left, that was a sad day

oh shit soz swede (didnt see ur reply), how much you wanna offer for it?

can you run 26ers on your frame and fork?

This is my bike, it's a Fixei.

It isn't a trick frame but it does the job for someone at my level :)

Here is my custom Ted ESB. Ted custom made this medium front/rear small fillet braised ESB. It has a raised BB and suited to fit 2.3" tires on 26" MTX rims. Left hand drive with profile cranks and tree spline drive.

porn worthy.

Saw this on the 14 blog a while back.
It's a real beaut

this is my ride, she rattles, creaks, and flexes, but due to every bike ive had getting nicked, and always being just to skint to get what I really want, this is what i got, and i love her! Hackney Wick man myself, I know there are loads of trick riders around I just dont seem to know any of them. If you see me ride past say yo!

Alright boys ,
Im Skywaywalker , Luke Skywaywalker (lol) from Nottingham ,Im sufferin' a mind life crisis ! Im forty one ! was a mad keen bmx'er in the 80's , used to ride at malibu skate park @Wollaton ,Nottm . It was a converted CINEMA and if you think of the layout , sloping to the front it made great venue , with a dog bowl and some excellent burms , technically RAD ! (pmslol) Oh and on the stage where the screen used to be was a shit hot half pipe .
anyway I digress , plas dont larf too hard but Ive got / awaiting a mongoose Maurice( dont larf too loud) which in the 80's was a good bmx , I had one but my main trick ride was a S.E.company P.K.RIPPER with Landing flight forks and SKYWAY Mags (Hence my name) Got the mongoos for prosterity but also the frames 4130 tubing so a decent basis for a hopefully good trick ride ?
I'm gonna need a lot of help , so expect stupid questions but remember lads I'm old and it might be Alzeimers !!! LOL. you seem like a decent / helpful lot. Please dont sek enlightenment off the old cogger tho , as I'm probably (not prolly) more immature than most of you!!!! ;]
