Smoking clears the lungs so you can take deeper breaths!
Silly things that you used to believe when you first started riding

The DOS niner by Salsa also has weird built-in-frame suspension with about one inch travel using the flex in the chainstays.
Always wanted to try one of these and see how they feel

That's exactly what I thought but apparently the scandium holds up.
They have one as a long term tester in AMB (or is it MBA?) and have been using it for about two years and I think it even did the dirtworks 100 last year and is still rockin. Apparently...
I would be nervously inspecting the chainstays after every ride though.

I had no idea what "freeriding" was until about a year ago.
I thought a "hanger" was the bottom part of a derailleur only two weeks ago
I used to think that wikipedia had every answer.. just then, google nor wikipedia could tell me what a "hanger on a bike" was. maybe i didn't look hard enough.
Only a few months ago, i was about to buy a new front hub, because it was sqeaking really bad.. i took it to the bike shop and they "fixed" it and i asked how they laughed and told me lubricant fixed what could have been an expensive mistake. Also, I once told my friends to be careful with my bike, and dont scratch the "sanctions" on my forks.
I'll probably come out with ever more outlandish phrases, as my new dh bike has alot more parts and things compared to my dj bike.

that doing "skids" was cool and you had to do them to be good at riding
doing a wheelie for a while made you a real good rider as well
any bike with suspension was like god, includes my 20'' huffy bike that had front sus, i thought and so did my friends (when i was 10?) that my bike was the best.
a bmx had to have 3 piece cranks to be good, and have fat axles 14mm
redline, haro, gt, sanfu, oddyseey were the main parts everyone had/ main bikes everyone had.

Moots still makes one.
I once believed that a dozen custom off-road bikes would supply everyone who wanted one.

Lol when you're a 7yr old doing skids is still cool! Seems to be one of the first thing my kids learned to do after getting off the trainers, actually my 7yr old boy is doing sideways skiddies, I'm a proud Mum for sure! Lol
Hmmm looks like I got the 3pce cranks and the 14mm front right when we brought our son a BMX. Guess if he still has the same bike when he's 10 then he'll be the cool kid on the block. Although somehow I think "Xyz coloured rims and pedals) would beat that! Ha ha

I remember putting my plastic bmx wheels "Tuffs" in the freezer at home to straighten out buckles.
