I hate my bike, I can't do crap on it. I hop on my brothers and I get almost downside footjam whips, I can fakie, 180 of a kicker, footjam 180's to super bad fakie, and nose manny so good. I can barley footjam and hold it on my bike.
 
bikes are getting a bit unco for me now :( just realised im left foot forward and spin to my left. Oh well theres a plus on that..... better turndowns lawl

Alrighty I'm really looking into getting a BMX and I don't want 5 bikes lying around my house so I'm selling one of them.

Just by looking at these pictures how much do you think I could get for it?

(I'd like Alex [Pirate Alex] to have a look and tell me what he thinks because he knows pretty much alot about all bikes in general and stuff.)

just look how much the bike costs new, then figure out how much less you want to sell it for cos it looks in pretty good condition.

Well I dunno the difference in Australian money, but I'd say not too much. How much was it brand new? Maybe like $100, max. Unless you sell it to a dumb kid or something.

Apparently they're worth 800 dollars or something in AUD which is probly 550-600 USD, but I bought it in China for like 150 dollars australian lol.

I'm going to head down to the Giant bike shop tomorrow and see how much they are brand new so yer.


And what type of BMX is a good bike to start on? I think I might go for a Hoffman, my friend picked up one for like 450 aussie

Hoffman's actually have some really nice bikes this year, Eastern is pretty good and same with Fit. Subrosa has some really nice completes, I dunno how much their lower end bikes are though.

I learned fakies for Christmas. Just not on my own bike...

Pointless post so I'll give it a point.

Anybody have hints on nose pivot 180's flat to fakie? I have them dialed on the scooter but I can't get into fakie on my bike. It's almost like I pivot the full 180 then just stop. Help?
