albes.com is my favorite, but staff-bmx.com, obmx.com, and empirebmx.com are good. danscomp is owned by the same people who own ccs(online skate shop) and don't really know too much about the products they're selling except that it makes them money, but if there is anything you can't find anywhere else, it will be on danscomp, otherwise it doesn't exist. colored tires =

[spitfire7]

u know whats crazy ? bmx riders and skaters are fighting like bloods and crips in socal over skate spots that bikers love.

[karl wasabi]

I have had nothing but good to say about Danscomp. Every time i ordered anything from them, I got it within like 3 days. Personally, I like them.

[wootwoot]

I dont support DansComp because they were shady at one point in time and printed bike companies t shirts themselves selling them bringing in all the money. Dicks. They also for the most part have no idea what they are talking about and put nothing back into the industry, only take out.

Its like buying from SSAutochrome. They dont give a fuck about cars only know it can make them money and will never actually help anyone.

Support your industry!!

in Florida we get along well. Its just hoods you have to watch out for. i ride with a knife. No fucking problem stabbing bitches if they are coming at me.

[Dutchmalmiss]

ive got an old 95 Robinson Pro Frame with with a bunch of GT pro series parts & black GT 3 spoke mag wheels just sitting in my garage that i want to get rid of. i dont fit on bmx bikes no more. haha

[Dutchmalmiss]

I'm actually building my fbm masterblaster frame right now. There have been comments saying that FBM frames' welds break easily, but hopefully not mine haha!

[FlatDrftCJS]

[Dutchmalmiss]

FBM's are top notch, I still have one built up as a back up bike.

I actually enjoy watching skating more than riding.

I used to watch Flip-Sorry almost everyday before I would go out to ride.

Winter sucks and not a lot of biking is getting done but there is some digging progress being made.

[Dutchmalmiss]

Street is still a relatively new sport compared to the rest. We can still invent tricks!!!!!!
Aaron Ross and Edwin De La Rosa are the shit!!

[bloodangels13]

i know this is bringing up an old thread but i wanted to give some new info ion danscomp for all the bmx riders on here that see this post. about two years ago dans was bought out by an actual bmx rider and they are not shady anymore. im friends with sam the owner for tree bikes and he wouldnt sell to them for the same reason you stated but they are under new ownership and they are completely different.

Cool. I've been ordering from danscomp confidently. Now can we get some sort of zilvia hookup on the site? i want another frame already!

[Bubbles]

I've been ordering from Dan's forever and I never have had a real problem.

I know a lot of people will tell you to support your local bike shop but Dan's isn't that much further than my closest shop.


Who actually owns Dans now?

Why are bikes so highly accepted but Inline skating isn't?

I've seen dudes try harder shit on Rollerblades than bikes.

[0100]

^For me it's because the board and bike are not attached to you, like with inline skating. Just my opinion, doesn't mean the tricks aren't hard.

Video destroys! Great riding, music, and editing. Never got into bmx, was too deep into skating and snowboarding. That and falling on a bike is a lot harder than on a board.

Thanks for the videos.

rollerblades are just like being on your feet with wheels. not hard at all.

Haha, I beg to differ. Try doing 540s into grinds.

I think BMX is a little more accepted socially simply because they're quieter than skateboards and inline skates when traveling around, which means the neighbors won't complain so much when you're all over their ledges and rails haha.

[deolio]

i'm saying doing a 540 into a grind on a bike would be a lot harder than doing it on roller blades, which is why roller blades aren't as cool. it's basically like just hopping around with wheels strapped to your feet... what the fuck is the point? might as well parkour.
