51-55 Cruiser

Happy Birthday to ME!!!

Hope to see Ron make a comeback at the December indoor after Matt gets old like me! December 12th is it Matt??? Ron got old like me a long time ago.

I've got an 08 OM Flyer coming this week. Saw one in Boise this past week and it is a REAL BMX bike. I'm afraid the yellow tires will have to go but the rest of it is SWEET! Much different than the 06 I got earlier this year. The fork I got for the 06 will work like a champ on this 08. Easy 25 pounds or maybe even less. The wheelset is usable as is.

Happy birthday Dan, now let's see you put down those heaters that have been holding you back from a NAG plate all these years!

Can't wait to see the bike. 26" cruisers are the bomb.

Like the new ride! And I think the yellow tires need to stay. Make a statement. :twisted:

Happy Birthday Dan..This is you're chance to kick b... at the Grands. I'll be joining you Dec. 10th. It would be cool if Ron decided to come back from retirement but until then we'll keep picking on the young guys.
Nice bike. Keep the tires, it will give me the incentive to train harder so I won't have to see them in front of me while we're racing!!!

Keep the tires! We need more color back in BMX!! The black dull trend is getting a little old!! Color makes the world Brighter, and more fun!!!

it would be fun to have a retro night with the bikes and uniforms from back in the day--similar to what the big pro sports teams do... if only that stuff was EASY to get and hang onto.

Count me in as part of the club! I bought myself an SE OM flyer for my birthday too! Great minds think alike!!!

Mine is straight black- and set up sweet for the skate park. You may see it at a few indoor races this season!

Happy Birthday Dan! I'll be watching your NAG plate pursuit with great interest!

We've had pit bike races, no-clips races, etc. Maybe it's time for the 26'r class race.

I'd like to sell my 06 OM Flyer if anyone is interested. It is brand new never ridden! Need to defer the cost of the new one as best I can. Had to pay full pop for it. They only made 75 of the 08s as I understand it, so if you want one you'd better get it while the gettin's good!.

No NAG plate for me this year. Not enough points or races to make the cut. The Monster and Brandon are looking really good for that! I might race the grands just to see how I stack up while everyone is there. I'm going to ride practice and see if I can get along with the track. This may be off the subject, but the current ABA track build philosophy of "Lets see how many old guys we can kill" thing has me really discouraged. I don't like walls and curbs! I can just about bet my next paycheck that the Grands track is going to be just what I said. Cody, Jordan, Mitch, Robby, and a few others can deal with it just fine. Not me! It's a wonder we don't see more "snakebite" flats down the second straight at one of our local tracks and what the hell good is it to peddle your butt off down the first straight only to be grabing brake before you even get to the first obstacle! It really sucks to be me! Absolutely no fun! You think what you want. I don't care! Improve my skills and stick my neck out more you might say. To do that, you have to crash alot! I'm just not down with that, but I'll be there cheering for YOU! GOOD LUCK!
