BMX Bicycles

I made the rocket frame my name is william (bill) prince I started it in 1992 and was in the process of selling it to profile when talks collapsed and in 1998 I closed the doors and took a team manager job with Haro bikes to run their east coast NBL team. I used all my rocket profile riders and it was a instant powerhouse team in the east to compete against GT and other factory teams won many of team events and came in 2nd both years behind GT by 4 points. And 2 points!! Damnit! And then I retired in 1999 to concentrate on y home remodeling business since BMX business wasn't paying the bills

my thruster bike cost is $80

The quick answer is yes you can.

Its just like any regular physical activity really if you do enough of it your body will become more used to the demands needed for the activity that you are doing really.

1 piece cranks need the 1/2 inch pedals while 2-3 piece cranks use 9/16th.

Just to help the newbies out there. OPC or one piece cranks mean the arm that holds the pedal is just one piece of steel that goes from pedal to pedal through the bottom bracket (where the bearings ride). Those only use ½" size threads on the pedals.

3 piece cranks are identifiable as each arm is separate and bolted onto the spindle which is part of the bottom bracket. 3 piece refers to 2 arms + the bottom bracket. Only 9/16" (which are bigger than the ½") threads fit those arms.

Don't forget the left arm is backwards thread, so to loosen you turn it righty tighty. The right arm is normal so lefty loosy to remove.

The bmx thruster rampage bike is a exellent bike

A crank (or a crankset) is the thing that sits in the middle of the bicycle, has the chain on it and have the pedals attached to it.

google mongoose rebel and go to the 2nd option under the shopping thing. it should be walmart.com. they have pics that you can look at so that might answer ur question

i personally ride a subrosa salvador street 2010 its perfect as it is very light long and wide which is good for tricks such as barspins and grinds, hope this helps :)

The weight capacity for a BMX bike is dependent on many things including material. One made of steel should carry over 265 lbs.

They're called brake bosses, and you use then as attachment points for a certain type of rim brake.

An octopus can fit tis entire body into a space regardless of its size because it has no bones and is an invertabrate. THE OTOPUS WILL SQUISH ITSELF AND MOVE AROUND UNTILL IT FITS THERE. :)

yes you can just fold the back seats down :)

The ones I found on a net search already had 26" tires, so yes.

Keep in mind though that there are several different 26" sizes, and they're not compatible.

Have a look at the sidewalls of the current tires for a size designation in millimeters.

Should be 559xsomething. 559 is the diameter, and the most important number. The "something" is the width.Then buy tires that are 559 in diameter, and something like 47-54 mm wide.

The recommended retail price and the spec list identifies this as really a low-end bike. You're starting from so low that there's really not much sense in spending any serious money on improving it.

Things that are borderline worth doing:

If you mostly ride roads you might try getting some smoother tires.

if the saddle isn't agreeing with you, you might try another one.

Some Kool-Stop (a brand) "Salmon"( a model) brake pads might improve braking.

Apart from small stuff like that, keep it lubed and adjusted and put any "upgrade" money aside for another bike instead.

i would not bye a bike a any walmart or toys r us any where they suck

Alot .

The sidewalls of the tires are usually marked with their size, just pick a tube with the same numbers. Probably something like 20 x 2.

You can get high quality 22" inner tubes and tires from the FactionBikeCo.com online store.

Currently (2013) the Champion System Pro Cycling Team (UCI Team Code: CSS). The team is based out of China.

You measure it. A ruler and a caliper are useful.

23.6 pounds

look for a model or part number in a inconspicuous space then google it or come back here with it also look at pics of old GT's

in my opinion yes. I have a forgotten victim 2010, (the purple one). My only problem i had with it that was major was that I just realized that the little stud on the crank arm that goes into the sprocket is broken, i mean the weld just broke and its practically hanging out and i haven't even had a chance to test the bike on a good set of dirt jumps or a skate park, I wouldn't go by that though. This was yesterday (8th of feb 2011), i got the bike 9 months ago (may 12 2010). The only other problem I have had is that since i bout the bike the rear wheel was of center and kinda wobbly but only a bit, again i wouldn't say that means all forgotten's will have that "defect". Forgotten bikes are good for supplying cheaper (and lighter) bikes with good stats (sealed in bearings, cromoly stuff ect) for younger riders. If you have more money then you could get a better bike such as a colony, WTP ect not kink though a lot of people i know say they're really bad (including me). In other words if you want a good cheaper starting bike with respectable stats forgotten wont let you down, haro might, and haro's are heavy and REALY ugly looking.

Depends on where you are.

It is a difficult job. Make sure you are wearing all the protection gear for unfortunate accidents.
You need to practice for some time. Its about right braking of the front wheel and correct body weight transfers.
You should be holding the handle bar for bike straight for practices. Drive at some slow speed which seems controllable ( 20km/h) and then Press front lightly brake while slowly shifting your body weight to the front. Slowly and steadily you can start increasing your speed to 25-30km/h ( ideal speed to learn stopie) and start increasing the amount of break you apply. Make sure you don't press it too much.
I will though suggest you to ask some professional in real life. This will provide you correct guidance while you do it. You can also watch videos to know how to do it.

On the other hand :
In Gta Vice city you are required to press brake and lean forward button to do a stopie.
