Silly things that you used to believe when you first started riding

[Lard]

A Footy card in your spokes was cool
Spokey dokies were cooler!

 

[Fisher]

Spokey dokies were cooler!

They are the coolest!

 

[J@se]

Spokey dokies were cooler!

That is still true.

Spokie Dokies are ice cold man!

*That I was good.
*That my first bike was good.
*That I was fast.
*That I could do the world cup courses.(Stromlo taught me a lesson on that one, cracked shoulder, broken rib, hand cut up)

That WD-40 could fix anything

But... WD-40 CAN fix anything

that rst was a good brand fork
putting a chainguide and marzocchi 4x on a hardrock was a good idea
bike weight doesnt matter
norcos are the shit

 

[jado_94]

riding a "specialized" meant that the bike was custom built for the rider alone.

I thought this to

 

[Derka Derka]

well back in the day....way back...when nobody ever rode a bike with a helmet, i thought that helmets were just BS.

I also thought that the best way to have fun was to get my chopper style bike and tow my mates behind on a skateboard to jump stuff..Dooh that was another silly idea

 

[nick_dales]

That a Dual Suspension bike was better than a hardtail in every situation

 

[brodie_rider]

Ghosting bikes was a good idea.

 

[harmonix1234]

That plastic mag wheels were way better than spokes, and your BMX just HAD to have a layback seatpost

I believed Sam Hill was actually God.

Also that V-brakes where better, turns out i just got good at setting them up.

Ohh and that 360 where actually difficult

I use to believe that running your rear tire on a low pressure would act like a rear shock

That cutting up rectangles from ice-cream containers and duct tape them to your forks made you go faster because it sounds like a motorbike.

you know it does!

 

[for those about to rock]

I believed Sam Hill was actually God.

I still do.

I wanted a Huffy one year for my birthday. It looked awesome. Thankfully my parents talked me out of that one and I ended up with an elusive Ironhorse BMX. Which seems to be as bad as a Huffy bike but much cooler.

That I was a police officer.


I had a plastic holster strapped to headset area,

If people parked on stupid areas of the cement bike track.. blocking the track i would put a paper ticket on their bike.

When adults rode too fast and irresponsibly around the track I would chase them on my bike firing a cap gun into the air yelling at them to stop so I could tell them off.
