i used to dirt jump a few years ago, never got good as i was too young and didnt quite have the balls.. i worked hard at the time and got a really nice set-up. ended up selling it last year on ebay.. i regret it soo much.

now im past my slobbish teenage days and im looking at buying a new bike and really getting back into it! my bape hoodies have to go though if im to get one!

there is a reason. have you ever had a bike with no brake cable slack??? barspins are hard with no slack when u dont have a gyro. one with too much slack looks dumb and could still fuck you up. plus brakes are expensive too. when i rode they were. you dont really need brakes unless u arent able to stop urself.

if you just want a bike to cruise around in then any bike will do,just stay away from the brand pacific.Mongoose or Gt bikes are pretty good for cruising around and it wont cost alot if your lucky you can find yourself a steal on a used one if you check out Craigslist.org then click within your area to the right and search under 'bikes' catergory
