I love to ride my bike up town and hit spots up, to me BMXing is soooo much more fun then skateboarding. I dont know why, but, yea...
Do you ride? are you any good? What kind of bike do you have?

J hop?
im not sure what that is, and i can hop about a foot up and i did about a 6 foot gap yesterday, whitch i was very happy about...yea, and free agents are pretty sweet. i currently have a haro backtrail x1, and i have had for roughly four years now. but i used to ride for two years, and quit to skateboard for another two, and just started back up a couple weeks ago.
And i just got a 70$ pair of rims otta dans, cause my old back one was tacoed from throwing it a long time ago, (and i still regret throwing it, god was i an ass) and i also just got the oddesy 1999 brake system out of dans too. So im really happy about those.
...and Heres what my bike looks like

Diamondbacks are really light arent they? Someone at my old school had one and it was the lightest bike Ive ever ridden.

It depends on the model...
A J-hop is like a bunny hop, but done in a different motion to atcheve (sp) greater hight (sp). You're oviously (sp) doing a jhop because you cant bunny hop any higher that 4-5 normally...

I dont really ride anymore but I used to until I went off a kicker and had the handle bars come lose and turn while in the air and give me no control when I landed. It hurt so bad I couldent put pressure on my knee for 2 months.

I hate BMX posers who have 100 lb. bikes. Then they are all like "Yeah watch me do a MoFoCo crankspin" (or some shit like that) then he spins his pedals around and then there all "Phhhsss ahhhh!"

dumbass. if you're 4 foot 10 a trials is basically the worst you can get.
for whoever wanted a bike, get a 2006 norco, they were trying to make all their models light.
mine(actually my bros, but i'm allowed to ride whenever i want if i help pay for upgrades, which at the moment is only a set of alex triples.) = 2005 norco rev. i coulda got this years, but i got 100 bucks off the 2005. (my pictures will be fucking huge

I ride a little. I have a Haro F2 with new wheels, new gears, new breaks, new chain and new tires. I do pretty much dirt jumping because I have these trails in my neighborhood. Its on some guys huge property (he doesn't have a house on it) and he doesnt care. The trails are pretty nice for something thats literly in my back yard.
