Title: Hands up if you've trashed a few childrens bikes in the last few years!!!
Post by: simon abbott on January 14, 2006, 11:12 AM

You know the scene, friends barbecue, a few drinks have been consumed and you decide to ger on yer mates sons bike and attempt to re-create a few tricks from days gone by. You dont quite have the finess that you once had and your probably a few pounds heavier!

Bouncing around doing back hops (cos its the only trick you dare still do!) the bike usually lasts about 10 hops before the frame buckles or the crank falls to bits and yer mates son is about to start booing big time! Ooops, they just dont build em like they used to!

I did a rockwalk on my older brothers M/B once and the rear wheel folded over in two, he wasn`t best pleased and I had to get a new wheel for it, that or he would have just filled me in  :knuppel2:
