Title: Got my boys new bikes
Post by: SaMAlex on May 08, 2011, 12:43 AM
I was out riding with my boys last week and realised they were too big for their 16" wheeled BMXs and it was time to move up to 18". I got them on Thursday and we went out for the first ride today. Lovin it. Cant wait to get them to a skatepark or track now.

Thanks to Stodgy at RADshop for his help and advice with what to get.

Talk about Mini-Me  :LolLolLolLol:

Bikes look great and quality T-Shirts too  :daumenhoch:

Are they showing signs of their dad's radness yet or just his lack of fear? ;)

how old are the lads

Gabe is 7 and Beau is 6. They started on 14" bikes when they were 3 and 4, then had 16" for a few years. These should last them a few years, and then its 20" for life! haha



I forgot to put up this pic. It IS radbmx, after all!

The bikes are totally stock, they are spot on. (I didnt put on the side pull front brake that they come with).

Yesterday we went to a track and there were loads of big puddles.
When we got home they showed their mum the dirty bikes and said "We've made them look MEAN!"

Thought I'd drag this One back to show the other colour combo these came in, How are Your Two getting on with them Alex?
Just got this built up for My Daughter, She's away staying with Her Nanna at the moment so hasn't seen it yet, My camera makes it look Blue but it's a bright Turquoise/Black Fit 18  :daumenhoch:

Nice one. They look great in the blue too.

Im hoping to get out with my boys tomorrow for pedal. Either a small local skatepark or a little BMX track. I'll try to get some pics.

Yeah the colour is cool, it's like a Teal but when light gets on it it pops into a brighter Greeny/Blue. She prefered the Black version when I showed Her a picture of both a while ago, said it looked mean  :LolLolLolLol: couldn't find One anywhere though. I like the little details on it like the tapered seat stays and the scaled down FAF tyres  :daumenhoch:

When I first thought about getting the bikes I Emailed 4down. They told me they had TWO left in black ..... so I got them straight away!

I didnt get any photos yesterday. We cycled to a nice park but they boys didnt want to come in the skatepark. So they played Crazy Golf with their Nan while I rode the park for an hour. RAD!

Sweet bikes and sweet tee shirts  :daumenhoch:

Its a great feeling giving the kids a new bike as it brings back the feelings and memories of BITD when we all had ours, I wonder if they will be on forums in their late 30's / 40's building and reminiscing of their old rides.

My 4 year old with his 16" Fit, he loves it, he's always on it and now when we go for a ride out he's trying to jump the drain covers on the road and launching off the kurbs, I can remember doing that BITD  :LolLolLolLol:  love it  :daumenhoch:
