Why I Don’t Like Anything Besides BMX.
I’ve gotten a lot of grief on a bunch of lame non-BMX blogs about my opinions on mountain bikes and fixed gear bikes. I opened up a word document and spilled my soul (pause). Walk with me.
I’ve been trying to write a blog about why I don’t like mountain bike and fixed gear freestyle for the past couple weeks and I haven’t really had any luck. There’s just so much to say and I can’t seem to find an eloquent way to say it. No matter what I write I find myself highlighting all the text, deleting it and writing “YOU ARE GAY”, then highlighting that, changing the font to Impact and changing the font color to teal. Then I make it bold, then I italicize it, underline it and think about posting it, but yet I’m still not satisfied.
There’s just so much to say here. Both of these disgusting, inbred BMX off-spring’s are just so lame and unconscionable that finding words to apply to them is almost impossible. It’s like writing a 10,000 word essay on why shit tastes bad. Everyone knows it tastes bad, you can feel the tiny particles entering your nose every time you take a dump and it just sets off a warning in your head (presumably in teal, italicized) that says “DO NOT EAT!”
In order to do BMX tricks on a mountain bike you basically have to ignore all those warning signs and just say “fuck it” and wipe your ass, turn around, reach your hand into the bowl, dig out your own fecal matter and just eat it. The whole thing. You even pull out one of those big spiraly crazy straws and sip up all the leftover diaheria water.
But doing tricks on a fixed gear is a completely different animal. To me, it reminds me more of cutting open your stomach before your food has metabolized and eating your soon-to-be shit before it actually becomes shit.
Fixed gear freestyle is like a nightmare that shouldn’t have actually come true. Allow me to share with you for the first time ever, my first experience with fixed gear bikes. The year was 2003. I had a friend who rode BMX but was also a bike messenger in the city of Boston. As you probably know, one of the prerequisites for being a bike messenger is owning a really expensive, really light, really weak track bike. Anyway I used to go to this dude’s house every weekend to go riding pretty much and when I first saw his track bike I asked him if he ever did tricks on it. And he said that nobody really did, because it was stupid. If you wanted to do anything more complicated than a trackstand on a bicycle, why wouldn’t you just get a BMX bike? I understood and that was that.
The only thing I can compare fixed gear freestyle to is a cat rapist. I don’t know if cat rapists really exist, but that is probably one of my gravest fears. That one day I will come home from riding and someone will have torn Tony’s asshole to shreds leaving him a shell of his former self. I don’t know if that really happens. I mean it shouldn’t, but it definitely could. That’s how I feel about people grinding down ledges on fixies. I knew it was possible but somehow I hoped that it wouldn’t come to that. But there are people out there who are just willing to stoop that low, and while it makes me sick to my stomach to even think about it, I guess it’s something we’re going to have to live with, because unlike raping a cat, jumping down stairs on fixed gear bikes is still legal.
I think it’s time for me to address the rollerblading question. Whenever this stuff comes up, people always want to throw rollerblading in the mix and ask how it fares in comparison to fixed gears and mountain bikes. The answer is that these two cat-rapist bastard step children make rollerblading look fucking awesome. The reason why is because rollerbladers, despite all their flaws, do awesome shit. They jump off of roofs. They grind rails with 50 kinks in them. They do huge gaps and spin around a million times while in the air. And although rollerblading is still totally gay in some ways (they all wear really baggy sweatpants and they all listen to Paul Oakenfield), when was the last time you saw someone jump off a roof on a track bike? Although I would definitely like to see your average fixed gear freestyler jump off a roof (preferrably swan dive style into some tar or asphalt), it doesn’t happen. Because their bikes just aren’t set up to do anything even remotely hard, and that alone is reason enough for me to not want anything to do with this awful trend.
Mountain bikes are a little different. Some dudes do some pretty crazy shit on them, but the problem is that it’s all stuff that was done years ago on BMX bikes. Nobody has, and nobody ever will innovate anything on a mountain bike that hasn’t been done on a BMX bike, because they are all a bunch of brainless BMX clones. The only reason anyone is even out there doing tricks on mountain bikes is because mountain bike companies are stoked on selling the idea that you should do tricks on their weak, expensive bikes. And there are actually kids buying into that garbage. While I respect the business angle of it, I don’t think people realize the perverse, cat-rapist mentality behind it.
The best part about the fixed gear trend is that every half-way legitimate track bike dude already hates that shit. Only the most nerdy, impressionable trust fund fags are out there doing wheelies and barspins on track bikes, and even the vast majority of their peers think they look stupid.
I’m not sure how to end this. I just want you to understand that when I say I don’t like track bikes or mountain bikes, it’s not like I have no reasoning behind it. It’s because I think that you all rape cats.

theres no way im reading that. stop crying and go ride.
really would you take a bmx bike to ride down hill jump off cliffs and shit hells no. its just the wrong bike adam is so fucking right
so aside the fact that your a close minded dude…why should people stop having fun…?
definetly close minded
Is this a real question?
Fucking stop with this shit already! Damher thought it was fun to pick up dudes and kill them and eat them, that fucking fine with you too? GET THE FUCK OUT
beau…are you that stupid?
What?! Did someone who doesn’t know your from you’re, who apparently thinks fun is an excuse to do something that is essentially a crime against humanity just call me stupid?!
hum yeah…crime against humanity…ahahah
yay
mountain biking was around before bmx…. and i am pretty sure they tryed jumps and tricks back then… = you loose
also BMX stands for bicicle moto cross (bmx bike sare dog shit for doign anything on any real terain… so A down hill mountain bike/down hill racig is much more moto x inspired then a addapted 20″ kids bike…
who cares if mountain bikers are not doing new inovative tricks…. everything is 2x easyer on a 20″….
but most street/park/trails mtbers you are refering to can kill it at other forms of rididng….
fixed gears are fun for comuting but that is really stupid for tricks…!!!!!!!
adam i think you should focus a little bit on how gay bmx has becomewith the paint on jeans mega homo slamed stripped seats and the 33″ wide 9″ rise bars brakeless (when most of the brakless 13 yearolds ridding around have no bike controll so are dangerous mofukas on them!
its gay how kids these days dont know who steven hamilton is and they thing gary young is old skool! it is these kids you should be talking about…. they think its cool to be ‘unique’ and do a mega shit griz air (yea that shits legit if you click it! but non of them do they just mvoe there calf a little…) same with nac nacs!
ok in my oppinion before you even talk shit on people you should be able to chuck the bars and 3 hop flat…. and do at least 4 grind combos…..
shits lame…
peace
barspins, flat 3’s and 4 grind combos… that’s pretty much exactly what i can do on a bike for the record. well, the barspins are really a thing of the past.
you have a severe case of down syndrome.
not you adam, you posted the same time as me.
than do it
this cant be serious? wow illiterate as fuck. no common sense. did you know one of the first bikes EVER MADE were essentially a 20″ bike or basically based around one? mountain bikes came way after bmx. tricks wise, no sorry guy. shit was gettin done on bmx bikes wayyyy before some fucktard on a mountain bike thought, “hey im gonna do an CROSS-UP” WAIT?! MY TRIPLE CLAMP FORKS WONT ALLOW IT!? sorry you fuckin moron, GET THE FUCK OUT. you = fail. fixed geared shit = also fucking lame. bunch of old dudes and stupid kids riding them, the scene in BMX has gone to shit. with everyone riding the same. doing the same shit’ that you are right about. but you sir are a moron. get the fuck out. go ride your bike an dont live on blogs… cause any trick done on a mountain bike just looks fuckin horrid. it will never look good. sorry guy. atleats roadbikes and computer type bikes have been around long enough… before bmx and mountain bikes really. but still, tricks on either mountain bikes or fixies are a huge failure.
dude, ur fuckin gaytarded… bmx have been doin tricks long before mtb.
im pretty sure adam can hop 3 n bar, can you? didnt think soo.
tricks on mtb are the dumbest fuckin bullshit anyone could ever do, stick to riding mountains and north shore skinny gay horse shit.
and like i heard from someone before, would you use a hammer to cut wood? no!
just like you wouldn’t use a mtb for street, trails and worst yet, skateparks!
soo just stick to riding ur gay ass 29′ or whatever the fuck it is you fags ride, and stick to ur mountains far away from civilization and a computer to write back! alright? thank you.
Is that true? pretty sure bmx had been round longer…
I agree that freestyle bmxc tricks are stupid, on fixies and mtb. Just a pity you ruined your argument with bad cat rapist jokes.
I can’t barspin, hop three, and i dont got no pegs… but i can do a sick wheelie and trek up big hills, unassisted from gears and without sitting down like a whimp. Get rid of all the razor scooter children of fixed gear and mountain biker dads who are taking up all the deck space at the park.
A dude said,
are you dumb?
BMX was around way before MTB, bmx riders were doing mtb on there bikes, then someone had the idea to give them “shocks” or whatever.
that is all.
I agree with Adam.
Mountain bikes are just obese bmx bikes. And they are expensive and gay.
and if you hate bmx so much why are you on thecomeupBMX ?
i fucking rape cats then kill them then eat them yum yum
i fucking rape cat rapest, kill ‘em and then feed them to my cats
p.s i dont have cats, im allergic. but ill take you out to the bush, feed you to the wild cats, 10 miles away just because a cat rapest are worth the walk.
Best post on here ever.
also adam rember your AMERICAN and that is your number 1 problem!
leave countries out of this, douche.
mountain biking on street and shit is bullshit, youre right. mountain biking is dope on mountains. you went off though man. although it is whack ass shit and to someone who rides bmx it makes no sense, and it dont, theyre just chillin and havin fun. i dont give a fuck. have fun
adam failed! try writing shit that actually has a point.
You failed. He had a point. YOUR GAY. Mtb is shit. Fixxies are for cruising. Not stuntin.
i posted your last opinion on fun on my myspace, and i totally agree with this one too
people need to stop being fags and trying to make their own trends. especially ones as gay as fixed gear bike freestyle. buy a bmx, go ride.
I ride trials
I ride bmx
That was a good read
The tony reference actually made me lol!
And yeah it all looks rank stop it!
Adam , if you took less time to hate and being close minded, and actually did something with you life more constructive than copy and pasting links and dick riding people like Nigel and trying to act like a tough guy with shitty neck tattoos , more people might value your opinion…I think you fuck your own cat……suck it!!!
some brakeless mountain bike street is pretty cool
amd some guys in my city with their downhill bikes were jumping off a pretty gnarly drop into a grass bank i thought that was cool too
who cares if MTB didnt innovate any bmx tricks, so they are just repeating what has already been done. thats like saying because someone did a hangover toothpick nobody else should ever do one because its already been done. stop being so closed minded and just realize that people like different things, and if they have fun who gives a shit.

Wait til the dude starts doing his flyout BS… Through the frame can’s, frame grab combos, pedal grabs!
MTBikes were there, yall are just too new to the scene. No-one had style back then, everyones bike was janky, and they were all a million times more creative than you dumb little face.
SHARING THOUGHTS ABOUT CATS WITH OTHER DUDES. Nice.
Fuck Cats.
Adam…. 100% true. anyone that’s been around more then ten years sees all the stupid trends come and go. Mountain bikers and fix gear riders… if you don’t like it, get off this BMX site.
whatever is written on this shit is just words without any reference, but when u see mtn bikers riding a ledge or skatepark they look like fucking idiots. i actually am embarrassed to ride with them because they look like they should be going down a mountain not a fucking 8 stair. fixies are gay in general since they were made for going around a track, but if u want to be that cool guy, fuck it, cruise around town on that shit. but trying to be that guy and do stunts on those things is taking it the next level, that “ur trying to be unique by doing something different but its just gay” level. this is all just some bullshit coming from some random kid sitting on his computer and i dont give fuck if u dont agree, cause when ur riidng a spot and some mtn bikers or fixies fags show up, you’re gonna be pissed too and realize how gay this shit really is.
and fuck adam, dudes wack, but hes right, “fuck this shit.”
wow adam i hope you and your dumb ass web site both fail and sink like the titanic and are never seen or herd of again .
I take it you’re not a rider, I mean don’t ride BMX ??? Rollerblading is coming back though, so hang in there buddy. We’ll soon be ready to see you grab your feet and spin into the hearts of America.
nah i do ride i just disagree with how there is always negtivity on this site and how everyone hates on anything that is different
I work a messanger job, I ride a fixed gear, and I can’t agree more with Adam. As gay as Atlanta can be (largest homo pop. per capita these days I believe), I’m very glad I rarely see more than a trackstand or wheelie from the growing fixed scene here. I’m actually psyched that when I do see other fixed riders they are usually passing me at 30+ mph, using the bike as it should be used. And being that we have a velodrome in our metro area, the theme seems to be more to go fast and train for the track (e.g. TRACK bike), rather than plop down a 5 stair or chain ring chunk concrete ledges. I’ve ridden BMX now for 13 years, I’m 24, and dread the day I’m too broke off to do it anymore. But I’ll be damned if I go out on a track bike because I couldn’t get my foot out of my toe clips down a 4 stair.
I’ll agree that the fixie stuff is ridiculous, but MTB’s do some rad stuff. I ride with a MTB’er and he’ll gap a ten flat ten, landing in the second ten. That’s awesome. Also, they make trails riding look awesome.
You are just straight up wrong or blind or something.
If by making trail riding look awesome means casing the FUCKING SHIT out of everything, then your right. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that you’re riding a SPONGE on wheels.
have you ever seen alex liiv ride? he does that shit all the time.
Hardtail MTB’s that is.
Mountain bike is to a longboard (surfboard starter kit)
as BMX is to a shortboard (surfboard graduation/enter tricks).
Mountain bikes = training wheels (especially 29′ers)
Fixed gear riders make themselves like shitty music just to be different. (japanther).
very shitty analogy, longboarding is epic and requires a massive amount of skill to be even look like you know what you are doing.
i agree with adam because i personaly think its fun to ride a fixed gear bike but not to do tricks on it. if i want to do tricks i will just ride my bmx but tricks on a fixed just looks horrific.
nice reading xD
but its “Paul Oakenfold”
all you haters hating on adam22’s hating are gay. it’s funny as hell, and entertaining, and its how he makes his money. if you don’t like it, don’t read it. and you can defend it all you want, but we’re all just laughing at you street mtbers and fixie stunters.
i agree
i definitely “lol’d” a few times while reading that. i ride bmx, mountain bikes, and race dirtbikes, but i def. wouldn’t try tricks on my 29er. that’s strictly for riding trails, or exercise. it’s pretty much the closest comparison to a dirtbike minus the engine obviously. when riding trails, it’s real similar. rigid frame mountain bikes with regular forks isn’t too bad though. i mean you might as well go into bmx, but the disc brakes on them are incredible, and weigh in almost the same. the whole fixie thing is definitely gay though.
I ride both BMX and mountain bikes, but for completely different reasons. I’m older now and could give a popcorn fart about trix. Because trix are for kids. In fact, when I’m riding the park and kids come up to me and ask me what trix I can do I don’t even answer them. Even though I am an elementary teacher, I do not answer that question. Trix are lame. Do a table at height and you won’t care what kinda trix you can do. Now I ride mountain bikes to get out into the bush and see how fast I can rail a corner or how far I can go in a day. Adam, you’re a city boy and mountain bikes, fresh air, singletrack and natural drops are foreign to you. Move up to Canada and grow a spine!
True, true
I agree adam
so does my girlfriend haha
Adam22 is jesus
Mountain bikers should stay on mountains doing there crazy shit and BUILD THEIR OWN TRAILS NOT RIDE BMX RIDERS YOU CASING OVER JUMPING FUCKS.
Fixie fags should stay on the track and if you do ride in any city doing “stunts” get hit by as many cars as possible doing your gay barspin wheelies bmx dudes were doing decades before you because your on a fuckin bike that stands for “figure skater/homo-sexaul/razor-scooter pro” compined into a big fat fucking wet milk taco
How do you case, if you over jump?
think he meant they do both. mmm wet milk taco
by the way, thats a sweet picture of a cat.
youre the cat rapist!
yo man no buddy really gives a shit what u think. the come up didnt get famous for your writing abilities. people come to this site to get news about the bmx world, watch videos, and check out the pictures. stop with these dumb entries and keep to what you know best gettin rich off other mah fuckers work.
Do any of you guys really care this much? If all of you are as hardcore as any of you sound than you should be out riding instead of being a type nazis. All bicycles are meant for enjoyment. If you don’t like it than don’t do it.
hahah cat rapings?
that made me laugh
damn this shit is gettin way too personal. who gives a fuck wat other bikers r doin. i agree that it looks dumm ridein a fixed gear or mtb on street but who am i to judge. i cant change that shit so why fight it. im jus gonna ride and jus let it slide. i have bigger problems like scooters. haha
this is turning into a blog blog
Mountain bike ares for mountains and track bikes are for the velodrome. I have much respect for both types of riders (even roadies), but doing BMX tricks on either is just plain fucking stupid. Buy a BMX then if your are gonna do that. Don’t fuck up good bikes that are not meant for that kind of abuse. I can’t believe I agree with Adam on this haha! But I’m not really that uptight about it. Just go ride.
I rode track bikes back in 2003. Other than skids, trackstands, and hopping curbs. We didn’t do tricks. When the “scene” got all crazy I went back to BMX. When I lived in San Francisco in ‘06-’07 I rode MTB street and trails. And then I thought this is fucking stupid without pegs and my bike is fucking huge, and I went back to BMX. If you want to ride a mtb at the trails, go for it. If you want to ride street or park, stick to a 20″ If you want to do grinds and barspins and shit on your fixie, go kill yourself.
h8h8h8h8h8h8h8!!!!!! get a life ,fixed gear freestyle is lame the bikes are going fast not doing endos and wheelie barspins. shits weak
yo adam if this is a trick to get more traffic to your site your one smart mother fucker keep the haters hating.
Exactly just thing of the fixters and MTB kids linking up this shit on their favorite site. And all this at about the same time pay per click advertising started on the come up.
Fixies became cool with the skater scene kids. They sucked at skating so they decided to try doing tricks on their bikes. They wanted to try a BMX but it wasn’t cool, so why loose your status in the scene when you can get a “cool” bike and try doing tricks on it? All the while failing.
Mountain bikes are for the people that want to spend 5k on a bike and feel like it’s an accomplishment. The same people want to try doing tricks on them.
I mean you’re welcome to do tricks on a bike of any sort, but why make it harder on yourself?
It’s like trying to reinvent the wheel for fuck sake.
fucking idiot people use to check this site for bmx news no one cares about any of your dumb bullshit you ruined the bmxing world with, skating, bmx, rollerblading and mtbs are all different sports, stick with the one you like and dont talk shit about what you dont do you fucking moron
doin tricks on mtb and fixed gear bikes isn’t easy so it makes it more of a challenage, bmx bikes are way easier to trick, so you dont have to hate people for pushing themselfs and trying new things and challenging themselfs, damn everyone hates one everyone now, just have fun and live, people have there own oppinions so let them have it, its adams blog so he can say what he wants. shit, get over yourselfs
How about some spell/grammar check next time? Fuck.
why in the fuck do you all care so much? holy shit just get over it and move on. do something else geez
Ahah, how about less dick sucking next time faggot
Everyone should send adam22 and shit load of moutain and fixed gear bike videos just to piss him off
i’m entering the tour de france on my 16″ pit bike because i think i’m new and different from everyone else and no one better make fun because i’ll cry
this is a stupid post. but none of us should be complaining about any of this. Adam has the right to state his opinion! Everyone else their rights also.
So heres my opinion. (not complaining)
I dont care what came first. I personally only ride bmx (Race, Trails, Street, and Park) but I respect any person who wakes up in the morning, gets ready for the day, and then picks up a bike and rides. It all helps us in the end. Any kind of cycling helps all of us. The fact that BMX Racing was in the Olympics helps the Freestyle scene alot. Because almost all of us started out racing and you know all those kids who start racing because the olympics will eventually begin riding freestyle and eventually buy products from the companys.
As for the mountain bikers the few that can actually do tricks (good tricks) are very talented at what they do. Yes they steal tricks from us and try to ride with us. But so do kids that ride scooters and we owe our whole sport to motocross. Who cares everything everyone does in there life is some how a copy or atleast taken from something else.
Fixed gears on the other hand. I personally dont like watching even seeing people do tricks on them. But I respect them alot. Has anyone who is bitchin about them even tried to bunny hop a fixed gear? It takes a whole different kind of skill and commitment.
So How about everyone just pick up a bike (BMX, Mountain, Fixed Gear, Beach Cruiser, Unicycle, Tandem) and go ride. I have respect for anyone who does this!
-Frizzell
you’re all so fucking retarded. bmx its fucking BICYCLE MOTOT CROSS, we copied it too!
what do you think the moto x riders of the time were thinking???”stupid ass kids jumping around on their pathetic little stingrays cause theyre not old enough or man enough to ride the real thing”. and do you honestly think that bmx bikes were this strong in the beginning???they were weak as fuck and everyone had to weld their stuff all the time.
if you see a dude with 7.25″ high and 24″ wide bars or a 20 inch frame you still just see him as a rider (unless youre a stupid hater, which is also very probable)so whats so different about a bigger wheel?same thing, just different setup…yeah somw of their riding looks really gay, but some bmxers make bmx look gay too, maybe you shouldnt make dumb generalizations??
its just all so fuciing sad whats happening in bmx now, its freestyle, but you’ll hate on anything thats even remotely different, and then you’re surprised that 10 identical videos show up every week.
the cat rapist part was very funny but you’re a hater adam even if “you are just joking” cause most of the times it doesnt come off like that.
The big difference is that BMX was able to instantly progress to things that were not and STILL are not possible on motorcycles. FMX is getting to it’s own level now, but for a very long time, they just looked to BMX for tricks. You can’t deny that bmx is at the forefront of what is possible on two wheels. Respect to the mtb riders on the mountain.
you’re wrong. fixed gears are already evolved, they evolved from and with roadbikes. it doesn’t even make sense to jump them .. go tack weld an old wheel you have laying around and TRY to go ride some trails.
if they dont try to ride some jumps then they’re not even trying to push the limits of their fixies.
bad comparison. BMX may have spawned from moto-cross, but it is by no means trying to catch up with it in the same way as mountain bikes/fixed wheels try to catch up with bmx. if anything, BMX has invented almost all of those freestyle moto-cross tricks. also, i don’t know anyone who could have afforded a moto-cross bike growing up so bmx is the realistic alternative to moto-cross if that’s what inspired you to start riding in the first place. bmx is the most affordable of all these things which is another reason why it will always be the best.
The new school of freeride mountain biking is about the terrain the “BMX” tricks are being pulled on. When is someone on a BMX going to 360° off of a 30 foot cliff? Or flatspin a 70 foot booter? Or tailwhip a 50 foot river gap?
I don’t think anyone is hating on that kind of mountain riding, backcountry riding. That is the area MTB should be progressing.
when is somone on a mountain bike ganna learn to land smooth with out “shocks” ?
Adam stop posting your stupid emo whining and keep posting BMX videos. Thats why we are all here.
P.S. Adam Hauck rips you to shreds then makes your cat rape the remains of your narrow-minded ass.
i love the fucking douche bag who said that we copied shit from moto x. haha fucking RETARD. freestyle moto x wasn’t around until wayyyyyyy after bmx. so get your shit straight before you come on here calling people out. dumb shit
Are you 12 or something. You really have no idea go find a copy of Joe Kid on a Stingray to start you off and get googling on BMX roots.
i think someone needs to make a “the come up” last supper painting…
with adam22 as jesus…and muffin the man as mary, due to his long hair.
http://www.zombiebmx.com/blog/uploaded_images/mihelich-ross-700751.jpg
I wouldnt really call Taj and Arron Ross ”brainless BMX clones”.
isnt this great, my wang is as hard as a prosthetic leg!
I agree with everything that adam stated in this blog. I would also like to add that I own a fixed gear bike along with a BMX bike. The BMX bike is for doing tricks. The fixed gear is for commuting back and forth to work. Simple as that. Adam is not hating on fixies he is hating on doing tricks on fixies . As for the mountain bikes i agree as well. Mountain bikes are for the mountains not the streets.
I love how people take any of this shit serious. People have opinions, read it and move on. By they way, this post was awesome. Made me laugh out loud. I wonder if they really rape cats!
i rape ur cat every christmas
i use the milk to seduce the kitty and then i rape it
the cookies are just a little sumthin sumthin for me
Get over yourself. Go out and ride whatever makes you happy. Everything today is derivative in some form or another. There are douche bags in every sport, mainstream and niche, that ultimately misrepresents their own sport. I suggest that you not be that douche bag, but what I really suggest is; That you forget about representing altogether and go ride what ever contraption makes you happiest in the moment and enjoy it for what it is.
I’m not stating what type of bicycle(s) I ride because IT DOESN’T MATTER.
you therefore have a mtb and a fixie and your ride both with neon yellow spandex and a high visibility helmet.
really though, why the fuck would you do tricks on a weak ass bike not designed for that. get a mountain bike then, whats the difference, they too pussy to lift a lil more weight or sumtin, ?
yes we are smart enough to realize that if we can do the exact same tricks, but one is on a lighter bike, why would we go for the heavier one? essentially what your saying is ” i have to feet, ill shoot myself in that one.”
i think its just weird looking, i feel like bmx will and should only be 20inch bikes. i wouldnt want to ride a spot if there were some big ass mx bikes there. just gay why cant they just ride a bmx bike. … hate riding a park or soemthing with mx riders and scooters dont give a fuck about bladers 1 because they know their gay and have hidden under ground . haha and soem skaters are usualy cool… but whatever it is what it is…. holla adam
capone, your grammar and spelling improved dramatically
I DON’T KNOW WHAT WE’RE YELLING ABOUT
GAY!
WoW,
adam22, I disagree with your opinion of mountain bikes even tho i don’t ride one. But I have to respect them a little bit because what there doing takes “skill”. Anyway, that’s not why I’m here. “Tricks on a fix gear”, fuck… I mean, fuuuuck… I hadn’t even ever heard of such a thing until I read this post and then looked it up on youtube. And I am still in shock in what I saw when you perform such a search on youtube… Did these people making these tapes ever watch them first before posting them on the world wide web for 925538745000 people to see? That was the most ridiculous thing I ever forced my self to attempt to watch, just so I knew what you were talking about here. And frankly I’m mad at you for writing this so that I would even be aware this kind of thing were going on out there. My life was much better before I knew this information. I guess the moral of this story is buy your kids BMX bikes instead of giving them your old Schwinn varsity that you had when you were in college and they wont grow up gay. Kids… Lets just ride BMX bikes.
where’s your logic? how is freestyle acceptable on mtb but not fixies? it takes skill to do tricks on mtb, you say, but what, it takes no skill to do tricks on fixies? The fact is, physics and cold hard logic dictate that performing tricks on a fixie or mtb are impractical compared to bmx, and making it difficult for yourself to learn tricks is stupid. Thus, I have no probs with foam-pits.
BMX is priority, however I also ride Fixies and MTB. Nothing wrong with having a little muck around doing tricks while using your bike for its intended purpose, but dedicating yourself to incorrectly using your bike? stupid.
But really, that’s just my opinion, people can make up their own minds.
Mtb are pretty sick when you see them in slopestyle events and stuff like that but why would you want to ride in the streets everything they do in street or park all looks sketchy as hell.
i fully back everything adam said. Doing tricks on a fixed gear is about as gay as trying to do tricks with a shopping cart, it just wasn’t made for that..
if you can do a barspin on a shopping cart lemme know…
Damn I hope these idiots don’t continue bombing hills and riding in traffic after putting that kinda strain on suck weak frames and FORKS!!!!!!!!!!! god forbid.
such… freudian slip
So, How about this,
Quit whining about what is what, Ride your bike, and just let them make asses of themselves, no need to whine and cry how one is better than the other, they probably think we’re just as retarded for being grown men on midget bikes.
seriously,
it’s a two sided coin.
fixed gear bike ‘free style’ if that is what it has been called sucks ass, the bikes are not made for that shit, if they wanna ride fast around town and shit, yeah go for it. But droppin stairs and doing grinds sucks ass on fixies and i bet it cost a fuck load of money for every wheel or cranks or what ever they break when they do that shit. MTB’s are progressing in what they are made for, like bombing hills and mountins and killer drops and shit and and if your keen hit up you tube and look up redbull rampage, that is what mtbs do. but fuck fixed gears doing tricks and i dont know why some bmx companys wanna have anything to do with it.(volume/FBM) cant they make enough money selling just bmx parts?

so good
if it’s a bike… who gives a fuck. bmx is not serious, we are riding bikes that is it. sure its a lifestyle,god i love my bike to death, but im not going out to impress anybody. Honestly if you try and look at bmx from an outsiders point of view it seems almost ridiculous. but we do it because we love it. We are being just as prejudice as skateboarders who are against bmx when we say who should do what on certain terrain. mountain bikers are fucking nuts with some of the shit they do, sure they have ventured into street but who cares there not hurting anyone, they’re just doing something they love. as for fixed gear riders…………….GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE.
want to ride street or bomb trails or park? get a bmx
want to do some downhill riding or ride some north shore? im sure you can do it on a bmx but it would suck..nobody does it also so its all good this far.. now riding street with mtbs? hmm.. sounds good to me.. dudes are killing it but then we come to a point where the tricks are same, bikes are different,mtbs are like shit that you can snap in half between ur bum, bmx bikes are strong(non khe).. so why waste more money and look like a idiot when all you want to do is the tricks that bmx dudes do.. no you dont get more respect for riding a mtb them shits are light as fuck and about the same to do tricks on.. (i used to ride mtb before bmx) … now doing tricks on track bikes really is gay.. well not gay but it sounds real stupid.. who wants to buy a carbon frame with carbon cranks and shit just to go snap em in half on the first stair set or whatever to come on their way
Its just them them, “not following the crowd” they want to be different, and appart from the norm. – i tell you they fucking acheved it, they should just man up, get a bmx, and not worry about attentionseeking acts like doing tricks on a fixie, bmx is a stable sport with benchmarks and big names, and sometimes you need to just try as hard as you can to become big in bmx, through practise, injury whatever………. not jump on a big bike made for the road and attack things like your riding a bmx. You wouldnt take a low-slung sports car off road, i mean you could maybe get away with some things, but at the end of the day, its not sueted for it at all………… if you want to go off road get a 4×4?
Somebody link up the fix gear sites that talk about TCU, mtb sites too. I wanna see what they are saying.
Who cares about one 22yr olds opiniun and what dose he no about bmx ,probabley very little as wisdom comes with age !
Opiniuns are like arseholes everyones got one !
Gears are for queers and the bum up loves it !
U mad?
Go find some new shitty webvids with riding scooters at 3mph only tricks being barspins, hang 5’s and some tuck nohanders. That’s so fucking original.
Pretty much the funniest thing i have ever read
ADAM IS GOD!
Hi Adam,
You’d love to limit the freedom of choice of other people.
Pretty un-American, eh?
So, when are you moving to Canada?
Funny article, and I’m sure you were joking when you said people should be allowed to have fun on their bikes.
Having fun on BMX, beach cruiser, ten speed, and mountain bikes since 1982,

Since when does Canada limit the freedom of choice of other people?
Oh I forgot, we’re not the ‘greatest country on Earth’ and sing ‘Canada the beautiful’ everyday as we watch newscasts where people get protested against and beaten for choosing to be homosexual.
Freedom of choice? God Bless the USA. Where’s my Lee Greenwood tape?
Well said. I didn’t read any of the comments since people that are douchebags tend to not realize that they are douchebags and make douchebag comments. Therefore, I didn’t feel the need to read about how it is just 24 inch wheels. MTB’ers are queer. They are birds and they are lame. They wear khaki shorts and like to muck it up about how radical the new trails are.
Are skaters talking shit on surfers?? I know it’s not exactly the same, because skating started from surfing, and now they are doing skate tricks on surfboards. But Nobody is bitching about copiing.
And downhill mountainbiking is crazy, most of them ride bmx to.
Why the fuck is everyone so arsed you sad cunt’s
Some people are happy to collect stamps…
Well written and well thought out rant. I couldn’t find teh words to express my anger and disgust about that Hubba picture and you did it right there.
a couple thoughts to stir in the mix:
-a fixed gear bmx was ridden in the bicycle boogie scene in RAD
-pedal grinding on a mounatin bike, or let alone riding a skatepark on one is lame, but you have to admit that things like the Red Bull Rampage and Crank Works are advances in t he sport that could not be done on a 20inch. Having always used a mounatin bike as a way to get lost in nature (like backpacking but faster) it is irresistable to throw a table or jump a gap when you are an old BMX kid on a MTB, bringing the freestyle and vision of BMX to the back country on mounatin bike is a pretty good thing. I left NYC 10 years ago to do just that.
skatepark, ledges on fixed or MTB = wrong tool for the job
throwing some tricks in a mountain setting on a MTB = best tool for the job
I live in an area where mountain bikers thrive, and have a ton of killer shit to ride on the mountains. My town has a small skatepark that easily gets too packed to have a good session. I’ve been digging trails for 12 years, and I am very protective of my work. It drives me nuts when kids on four thousand dollar MTB bikes with bmx components come to the trails and tear shit apart because its too steep or big. Or they try the jumps and case the fuck outta everything. It kills me when I hit the park and there are 8 MTB kids tracking mud on the park, snaking the skaters and bmxers. But what kills me the most is the attitude. They think that they have the RIGHT to be there, the RIGHT to ride whatever they want, because their bikes are called “freeride” bikes. There are MTBers out there who put a lot of effort into making something to ride on, and for that I am stoked. But so many of the people who don’t dig or build feel like they deserve to ride whatever they want.
pretty hilarious rant, i was laughing my ass off with the analogies.
i ride with some pretty nasty MTBers and they do what they do best… big freeride stuff in the woods! they huck shit and i’m all about it. i approve, its gnarly and something you dont see me trying to do on a MTB. MTBers getting “street” and littering their bikes with bmx parts and style is just comical.
fixies getting “street” is just downright retarded, but i say let them do it, break their faces and their overpriced commuter bikes, and hopefully they will figure out it doesnt work and just disappear. whoever decided to pedal grind that thing was probably like “i cant wait to piss off some bmxer showing him this” well, he succeeded.
… much like soap shoes… remember that retarded trend that died in a year? haha just sit back and watch it die.
would be funny if you weren’t shit compared to the decent mtb street riders.
trying to freestyle on a fixed gear is for pussies that dont want to get hurt or just arent creative enough to even excel on a bmx bike, because the caliber of “tricks” you can do on a fixed gear keeps you far away from even getting some tiny roadrash……..take that piece of crap to the scrap yard and maybe youll get something for it.
You guys are acting like this is a real opinion, which it isn’t. Adam needs to say controversial crap to keep kids coming to his site, which keeps him “relevant” and keeps his ad sales up. It’s a cheap Howard Stern routine, not journalism or even an op-ed. Once everyone gets tired of BS fixie/mtb trash-talking, he will probably start talking shit about Obama (right around the time people stop buying his Obama shirts).
random offensive opinion = more traffic = more ad views = more $
Aaaaaaaactually… I’ve only been writing these essays for the past week or two and my traffic is exactly the same, and I have had basically the highest traffic of any BMX website for the past 3 years.
I am an avid downhill mountain biker and a BMXer also, I agree that mountain biking in skateparks and streets is fucking rediculous. MTBs have no advantages over BMXes in that type of terrain. I also agree on the fruitbooters they are also rediculous. I have never ridden a fixie though so I cant really comment
Fixed gear I think is pretty foolish. Basically you’re just hoping the bike doesn’t totally blow up into pieces.
Mountain biking on the other hand I respect. I’ve seen MTB’s throw down just as good as alot of BMXer’s. And anyways not to many non-pro BMXers are inventing their own tricks, so basically everyone is just trying to do proBMX tricks, and some people choose to do it on big wheels. Plus if you’re ride DH it’s a lot easier to ride a similar sized, 26″, street bike.
bikes are bikes,
getting your panties in a bunch over how people fucking ride them, is fucking hillarious,
i have a bigger bike, it’s pretty cool, its sorta a mtb, but it’s not what i want.
i want a 24″ bmx with good geo, because bigger isnt gay.
it’s like you feel somewhat foolish for riding a childs bike and have to attack anyone that doesnt because it’s encroaching on your image.
pure bullshit.
but most fixie and mtb riders completley fucking suck anyways…..
“it’s like you feel somewhat foolish for riding a childs bike and have to attack anyone that doesnt because it’s encroaching on your image.”
this sums up this post pretty well
at the end of the day we’re all a bunch of losers playing with bicycles. does the type of lube matter during gay sex? no. either way ur a fucking fag.

Coping something else is creditless.!
Down Hill Mtb is sick, and im sure the majority over here respect Mtb for that! but everything goes under when they try the BMX field!
go fast as fuck on your fixie and do tricks on your bmx.
thats it.
thats all.
done.
I know why shit tastes bad, we’ve been conditioned since we could shit not to eat it because it’s shit. Had we been told to reconstitute the nutrients lef over in our shit from a young age you might have been a shit eater and not thought about wasting vital micro nutrients left over in your pile. However, as a conditioning goes, you’ve seen only bmx riding skateparks and street. Seeing something new isnt easy. Over time the mistrust and anxiety will diminish and you’ll be unlikely to do anything but accept it.
My only hope is that you might touch on a more particular nerve, the ethics of these groups. Let me make another analogy. You’re at a hardcore show (one with bands that stand for something: human rights, veganism, straightedge, etc.) and there is a group of scene brats that dont stand for anything more than fashion and vanity let alone social change. Thats picture I get when Im at the skatepark and some chumps on mtbs dont lift a fucking finger when someone gets hurt in the bowl but skaters and bmx alike will. Everyone already knows hipsters are weak minded and dont stand for anything, which is the crowd of track bike riders.
adam, i must thank you for giving me something to look forward to EVERY MORNING for the past couple of days. i cant wait until our next break from school that you have the time to write another one of these fabulous essays. seriously. i love you (no homo)
http://etniesbmx.com/blog/2006/05/18/is-it-all-the-same
did he really jump his 7′ spine on that road bike??? I always wondered.
I like to call it freestyle….this is just stupid topic,
why so much hate.
Then go rub some astro glide on your dick and grab a stray cat!
i don’t know the reason of soo much hate in between bmx/mtb and fixied gear, its all bikes, both have 2 wheels,frames, bars,pedals, just have fun on it, it doest matter if is 20″/24″/26″/28″ its a fucking bike,
just have fun and respect otheres people choice, after this post i see that a22 is just an ashole that thinks he is the masterbmx hero shit, just because he owns thecomeupbmxdotcom
stfu
dirt was essentially started by mountain bikers. so we have to respect them for getting that going. and as far as track bikes go, i couldnt care less if a guy on a track bike wants to grind a ledge. if he rides away from it, im gonna be just as psyched as if i saw a dude on a twenty do it.
everybody is into different shit, its all about what makes you happy. as long as it doesnt hurt anyone, who are we to judge?
besides, lots of track bike riders and fixie riders buy BMX parts for their rides, and support a lot of BMX companies. why turn them, their support, and their business away?
not a fan of the hate. when it comes right down to it, we are all grown-ass dudes on little kids bikes too. im not trying to talk BMX down at all, but i dont like to think we are above anyone either.
dirt wasn’t started by mountain bikers! it was started by BMX racers long before MTBs even existed.
How old are you kid?
I dont think I could ever be interested in trying tricks on a fixed gear, but if someone is, then go for it..
As far as mountain bikes go, I have rode a borrowed bike(shadow conspiracy invisible man cruiser), and rode a 10 mile trail with Karl Poynter, and Kyle Poynter in New Castle, Indiana one time, and believe me, it was a great time! After seeing how difficult it is to really charge it on even a mild trail, it opened my eyes to how insane some of the big names in downhill mtb really are. There are alot of really good videos out there of their sport, namely a video called seasons.. If anybody simply wants to watch a video of people riding like they have a death-wish, try and check it out. It really is one of those things you shouldn’t knock until you try in my opinion. And if you are wondering, Karl was fast as fuck at it too..
Now as far as people riding mtb’s at a skatepark, whilst it doesnt interest me anymore than bmx(nothing ever will), they are just doing what they enjoy.
As far as people doing stuff that daniel dhers could do 6 years ago with his eyes closed, im pretty sure everything ive ever seen done on a bmx bike would fall into that category.
grow the fuck up adam. no one wants to hear you bitch about how much you dont like other anything. If you dont like these things then leave them the fuck alone. fuck
besides have you ever ridden a mtb at a skatepark or dirt jumps? it’s actually pretty fun
kevin, how was dirt started by mountain bikes? bmx was started by lads ragging it round on choppers, pretending to be motorbikes, not by pretending to be mountain bikers, you silly cunt.
Dont you see that its all the same plane of enjoyment. Sure we found it first and are lightyears ahead of others that do it and by that note arrived at it from a completely different path. But that doesn’t mean that others arent allowed to essentially play on their bikes in an urban enviro. Remember that mountain bikers have been playing in dirt and dropping off the tops of mountains for decades. My question is why you choose to take such a one dimensional stance. There are tons of disciplines performed on mtbs that are very impossible on bmx. Why cant you share this world with the knowledge that a bmx is a better tool for the job if you’re looking at urban tricks but that doesn’t mean other bikes can have fun and shouldn’t get respect. (Its fucking hard to whip a big bike).
I love bmx and ride bmx but I dont hold the same kindergarten approach to sharing this world with riders that you so “eloquently” dubbed as cat rapists.
Adam, seriously.
Do you really care that fucking much about what other people do?
If they’re enjoying it, who gives a shit. It’s not like we can change anything, or MAKE people not ride different kinds of bikes.
Although your shit analogy had me on the floor laughing.
All I read was “The only thing I can compare fixed gear freestyle to is a cat rapist.” and im 100 % happy with this post
I don’t even ride, but I do know Mountain Bikes are for fags (like Hates Adam). Stop shifting gears like you’re shifting sexes. Try lowering the seat out of your ass and growing a pair.
“dirt was essentially started by mountain bikers. so we have to respect them for getting that going.”
This is SOOO wrong its not even funny. MTB never have had anything to do with the evolution of bmx. They are two different sports that evolved out of two different bike types of old style 50’s bicycles. mountain came from beach cruisers and bmx came from stingrays. they never crossed until then. BMX was all about jumping dirt Before mountain bikers even figured out how to keep the grease from burning out of their kickbacks down Repack hill.
Fixies and Mountain Bikes are great when used correctly: transportation through a city, or perhaps hitting the old dusty trail.
But NO, i will not be just as psyched on the guy that did a trick on a mountain bike as the guy that did it on a bmx bike. Why? Because no matter how many flips, spins, grinds, or tuck no handers are done, it still looked really goofy because of those two obnoxiously big wheels. As for “tricks” on a fixie, who are you guys trying to impress?
Fixies/Trac Bikes are cool for a city or track.
Mountain Bikes are cool for a mountain.
Neither are cool for a skatepark.
Sorry.
i know some kid who “raped”a cat. no lie
fuck bobby
who gives a fuck?
I totally agree with you Adam. Mountain bikes are fucking gay. Especially when those fags put bmx parts on the bikes. Just buy a real fucking bike, fuck. Mountain bikes are just a big waste of aluminum.
Cat… Rapists?
suck it
“There’s just so much to say here. Both of these disgusting, inbred BMX off-spring’s are just so lame and unconscionable that finding words to apply to them is almost impossible”
Impossible? Son. Word has a synonym ‘option.’ Get on that shit.
Also. Barpins on an mtb? That was SOOOO four years ago in bmx. amirite? Lulz!!~!1
wow…..
you probly hate the jews , niggers, and spics too
the internet is a funny thing… if someone took away adams internet forever…. he’d be a nobody…. a nothing a “clone” just like everyone else. and he’d still suck at bmx
dont think you doin anyone a favor in the bmx industry by bein a hipster
i cant believe you get up every morning and attend to this piece of shit blog site
your a faggot and satan thinks your a goof
yeees darth speaks!! i dont even have anything to say about your gay ranting adam.. i started jumpin mtn bikes two years ago and i already have more skills than you on a 20 by not sitting at my computer looking at porn all day. build some trails ya hip hop loving faggot, and please stop posting the gayest street videos in the world. gee thanks, go break an ankle doing a 180 or jhop
you and your board make me ashamed of riding BMX!
Mountain bike and roller blade hating are two of the longest standing traditions in BMX. Keep the hate rolling.
Nobody has ever innovated anything on a Mountain Bike?
Where do you think all these whipping and spinning drops came from?
http://thesensus.com/sterling-lorence-gallery/?pid=30
Whatever Adam22 does hopping around the skate park is being done on natural terrain by “cat rappists.”
Dont make us go Chris Brown cus you are a bitch…
http://thesensus.com/the-muscle/
You watched the x-games bmx dirt jump comp with the drop and watched Gary Young whip and 3 into the landing and then copied that?
SERIOUSLY FUCK MTBS AND FIXIE FAGS BUY A BMX BIKE IF YOU WANNA DO TRICKS YOU LOOK GAY AS FUCK YOU HOMOS
i think bmx is insecure that mtb and fixie are more handsome and in style these days
Blind ignorance. Adam22, you accentuate it.
Yay i love fags that think just because we say fixies and mtbs are gay, we’re jealous. stfu, seriously. why would we be jealous of the gayest shit we’ve ever seen?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5mxMOGLiRw was the only moderately cool thing i found someone do on a fixie… mostly fags doing trackstands and failing on wheelies.
idk why mtb and fixie riders would even be on this site. it’s clearly a bmx site for bmxers… not queers
rollerblading is awesome, ive thought about doing it so many times, but no1 i know does it, so ill stick with bmx. and the fact that im to scared to do a 50 stair handrail, backside, only on one blade.
100% Agree with you Adam, riding a fixed gear bike though traffic in a city is sound an a mountain bike down a mountain is cool but not bmx tricks from 1991 it makes me sick
fuck lotek
i am not to be confused with the other capone
My feeling is the the mtb and fixies are doin the same shit we do on bmx so why dont they just hope on a bike that is made to grind the hubba and not make it look completely ridiculous
This is why many, many, many people hate the come up. Because you are a fucking idiot. Mountain bikes weaker? I think not. More money yes, weaker no. You really don’t know much outside of BMX as it seems. I don’t see bmx’ers hucking 80 foot gaps, or doing this insane drops. Oh, just to let you know MTB’ing was around the exact same time as BMX and they were doing tricks then as well. Oh, fixie freestyle was around wayyyy before BMX freestyle was. Lets see, that was back in the 1800’s. You need a history lesson when it comes to bikes, and learn to open your god damn eyes too. You are not the king of the internet, or bmx either. So you can quit thinking you are a god. As you are just another lame person on the internet. Oh, relating them to cat rapists? The fuck was that about, I much rather hang out with a mtb’er or a dude who does tricks on a fixie. Oh, cat’s are lame too. So, I would like to end this with a big fuck you and your retarded thinking. The end.
“MTB’ing was around the exact same time as BMX and they were doing tricks then as well.”
please do provide some pics of seventies mtb freestyle… The end.
jesus is right.. couldnt have said it better myself
Oh I would like to add, that BMX is just a big copy from MX. We got the majority of tricks from them. So your logic is just plain fucking retarded.
“We got the majority of tricks from them.” You fuckin kidding me? Count the number of bmx tricks to moto tricks.
God bless the moto whip, though.
Jesus you are not my homeboy.
No footers, supermans, no foot can cans, and all that shit came from moto. So shut the fuck up.
im not so sure about the no-footer… someone whould ask kelly baker
well said jesus your dad always said you were a fighter
im ok with mtbs.. but fixies? comeon.
k, i wil sum up dis rite now…. BMX iz da cool 1. mownten byke on a mownten, fix geer on a trak. BMX iz 4 da sk8 prk, stweets adn dj’s. end.
hahah i didnt read half of these i just got down to the kevin kids comment
i just wanna ask you kevin if you how stupid you look now
go to your local shop and ask your momma for some cash and get Joe Kid On A Stingray and fucking learn about the fucking sport
Fucking hate mtb’s.. Don’t mind the fixed gear/single speed thing, as a commuter bike.. but when they start doing grinds and what not.. then it becomes ridiculous.
adam22 your such a goof..i know a lot of mtb riders that can throw down alot harder than you ever will you suck dick at riding ur bmx bicycle..try riding a mtb and mabey you will have respect for one
hahahhaa
you sound uneducated
Watch “Klunkerz” and “Joe Kid on a Stingray” back to back and then tell me which came first MTB or BMX.
HAHA mtb attracted dorks even back then. It was called fuckin Klunking. Watch for the homoerotic overtones in this video. (started in san francisco, biggg surprise)
http://www.klunkerz.com/trailer-1.html
fucking funny, i totally agree Fixie Stunters (is that what they are called) are usually Wack jobs looking to fit into some nich’e
invented sport, with fip turned caps and thinking that dodging Traffic and doing skids is the Cooool thing.
the only difference between carbon fibre lycra wearing road junkies an Nut Jobs who ride Fixies is the Lycra jerks made peace with looking like a Homo
the Fixies just cant man up and so they Figure Shitty Caps with up turned peaks and dodging traffic makes them hardcore??
As for MTB riders watching someone jump off a cliff is impressive, or going nuts in the bush fine i can feel that! but someone doing a Flair on a big wheel at a park just looks ugly, sure it takes some skill but the day i see a MTBer have the flow and style of Say Chase Hawk or COrey Bohan then maybe my opinion will change.
Its like Watching Chris cole skate and comparing that to a Pro Snakeboarder.
Can someone also please Kill Scooter riding that shit is AID’S!!
hahahaha thecomeup is awesome
adam u just hit the nail on the head on this topic. but i think u need to give a little more respect to one style of mtb out there. and that is those crazy down hill mother fuckers that do those mass huge drops wile dogging rocks and shit. but i agree that street-park mtb and fixed gears is probly the worst thing u go do EVER!
I’d have to say that 95% of BMX kids are retarted, ignorant assholes who spend waaayyyy to much time on the internet. It’s all two wheels and everyone is having fun, what’s the big fucking deal?
omfg, mtb is for faggots, bmx is the realdeal, I have never seen any bmxer do a 70ft 360flatspin, try this on your 20 inches wheel,7×26,4pegs bmx bike adam22
http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/2289539/
eat shit gay-brial. thats a mountain he is doing that on. mountain bikes belong there. thats not the issue sitzpinkler
Not to bring up Rooftop, but http://etniesbmx.com/site-images/news/article/_MG_8571.jpg
62′2″, I mean he flipped it, no shocks. If getting ragged on for riding some wack mtn bike really pisses you off that bad, maybe you shouldn’t be on a BMX blog. Heard Gary Fisher just came out with some new shocks, maybe you should grab the catalog and some lube and have some jelly fish time.
thats gay and its also been done on bmx bike plus suspension is for bitches!
Comparing different bikes like mtb’s and fixies is like comparing two cars. Someone who owns a muscle car, can hate on someone who owns a rice rocket, but when I rice rocket can beat a muscle car, there is some respect there. No I would never grind anything on a fixie, but if I did see someone grind downs stairs on one, I would definitely give them props for having the balls to try it
200 here i come
Did you know one of the originators of bmx flatland’s dad was a fixed gear tricks rider and thats where he got the motivation and skill level to bring spinning tricks into bmx?. No?. Go watch joe kid on a stingray and chill out.
we did actully, its mentioned everytime a fixed gear bore comments on a bmx blog
adam is the fuckin shit who cares if he sucks on a bmx he has fun and doesnt give a fuck
I’m not a huge of fan of it either but, it’s all bike riding. Don’t hate. Stay focused on you, and not what other people are up to.
i don’t really see the mountain bikes in skateparks thing dying off too quickly unfortunately but the fix gear freestyilin’ is fucking god awful…new age hipster doofus kids….guess the vancouver skateparks will be packed with wheelie barspinners and pedal griders….
cat rapers made me laugh…
I didn’t wanna read that whole thing cause I hate reading but that thing was awesome…how can I get a job working for tcu?? I got some ideas maaaaaaannnn
At the end of the day its a bike. atleast its not some obsessively noisey plank of wood.
I don’t really hate on Fixies. I mean they’re sooo fucking trendy they are gay, but other than that they are ok. MTB is our real problem. They are taking BMX tricks and giving the credit to themselves for doing them. Fucking dumbasses…..
p.s. Any bmxer can ride a MTB, but alot of MTB can’t ride bmx. My friend ( die hard bmxer) used to enter MTB comps, and just place 1st or 2nd and take the prize money. lol He was doing flairs and a bunch of whips. lol They got so pissed a BMXer was winning their contests.
dont bull shit twat
innit!
That’s because your friend is a good rider. You’re just hating because you probably can’t ride 2 wheelers. Get your skirt out of your sprocket you whiny bitch!
Adam probably made this post thinking everyone would agree with him
adam i think you should say your sorry! haha would be funny if you get you head kicked in at interbike…
was there a chris duncan clothing comment in the middle of this?….
Here is one right now.
Mountain bikers DO and will continue to be innovative. The do take aspects from bmx but they take it down 40ft drops and do it down big ’slopestyle’ lines. Face it its just evolution of extreme sports. Open your eyes.
agreed i ride bmx for park and mtb for dirt mtb i used to ride mtb for park andit wasnt half bad
Hahaha, adam you funny cunt. Why are you and so many bmxers such haters?! in the words of Chad Kagy ‘why can’t we all get along.’ Mountain bikers have a lame old steriotype that needs to be looked at. They are the most chilled out dudes. you don’t see them cold shouldering bmxers who come to their trails. Yeah its still finding its way but who cares. take a chill pill. oh yeah, who suck hard on a bike regardless! haha
People are people. Being a MTB rider or a BMX rider won’t change who you are. I know plenty of people from both sports who are totally assholes.
AND I love bmx too.
and you love to be a prick as well.
Fudger said it best!
What were they thinking?
Is not a rabit. Awww.
most bmx companies make MTB hardtails if you open your eyes.
S&M die hard bmx company makes black market and supply superco with tubing
i gotta hand it to you adam, you are very good at attracting traffic to your website with these posts.
you people are all fcked and need something ells to occupy your time with other then comparing bike sizes just ride you’re bike and be happy with it. But if you are going to ride street please just buy a BMX and save everyone the grief, They are allot cheaper a fck load easier to do tricks on and in reality the are a children’s toy!
go out and buy yourself Red Bull Rampage: The Evolution or ever better go their website and atleast watch the trailer and see what us “pussy” Freeride mountain bikers are up to these days. Go rape your cat for christ sake.
I ride 26in and I have to say that was gay. Your gay.
omg, why all the hating? here in vienna it works so fine, we all have fun together….it doesnt matter if you ride a 20, 24 or a 26 inch bike. if they wanna ride a 26…..why not for god sake? does it really matter? its still the same idea behind it all.
its all riding bikes man… I was with you on the whole hate on mtb deal a while back but you know what? we all ride because we love to ride bikes.
wheel size defines what you do, but in the end we all wake up and get that urge to just go shred. I hang out with mtb dudes who rule, and I have hung out with bmx faggots who fucking blow…stop trying to lump them all into one category.
MTB does a lot of new shit if you educate yourself, but BMX has done most of it before…because the sport has been around some 20 years longer.
If you remove yourself from your ignorant, close minded stance you will see there a lot of cool people and a lot of fagots in both mtb and bmx. In the end its all just riding for fun.
That was the most pointless, mind numbingly boring piece of text i have trundled through in quite some time. Congratulations on keeping my attention for the whole duration of your piece of text showing nothing more than little signs of intellect or some signs of understanding, at some points.
To be perfectly blunt with you, your a cunt.
Illustrating the points that your not dynamic or adjustable to the idea of a sport, makes me wander, are you like this with everything else? Women? Cars? Life? Its like a dis-functioned form of racism If you care so deeply about this subject, don’t ride, or if you may so wish, ride on your own in the middle of a field on your own premises.
I don’t mind BMX’s in the least, but, one seems to recall the bike started as a penny farthing, one big wheel, the other small. Best of both worlds. Deal with it.
your or you are? ‘you’re’ that is.
Mountain bikers simply jump off larger cliffs than the person before them or ride down a hill with lots of rocks as quickly as possible, and i have no problem with that because that is what mountain bikes are for, and anyone who claims that freeride shit to be innovative must be blind to that fact that they are simply riding down a hill and doing tricks which they stole from bmx videos. I don’t care if they’re having fun, I still hate them.
u sir are a cock
You just keep going on about how bmx’ers can spin more, flip more and such then a mtb’er.
The fact is, the bikes smaller – you might aswell be riding a childs bike, Oooo bike woop and a huge ammount of tough guy bmx’ers are guna have a go at me now. Fair enough but just think about what you said, its all the same sport. So basically, if you chose to ride the easier choice do so, but don’t take it out on us
Mountainbiking is the more bouncy, uglier and gayer option. Downhill is dope. Bmx did not copy fmx, fmx didn’t appear on the scene until 1998, some twenty years after freestyle bmx. Freestyle bmx is easier, nicer looking, way more respected and way less gay.
Gay is the only apt word to describe fixie stunts.

Yes, in my opinion it looks bad.
However you are only talking shit because it’s a new sport that takes the basics from yours… Who gives a fuck what people do to have fun. Do what you love, and thats that.
Quit your bullshit preaching, and go enjoy your fucking time on whatever bike you ride..Quit writing stuff no one cares about and ride your bike.
Go fuck yourself.
Love,

bmx= bicycle motocross, bmx started out as a poor mans imitation of motocross. the irony of this discussion… anyway, face it, nothings original anymore.
um wow, lots of people had something to say, i hate fixed gears, hate mountain bikes, love bmx, i ride 20″ all day bitch.
p.s.
fuck cat rapists
gain momentum on wheels
So basically all the bmxers hate the 26s for no reason? i mean ill admit i cant quite handle the smallness of a 26, but-ive yet to see a bmxer who can hop on a MTB and do all his tricks, i cant 360 a mtb but i can 360 a bmx. Lastly since bmx has been around so long, we cant do tailwhips and 360s? because a bmxer did it first? retarded
Stop the hatin ya punk bitches. I don’t even know why you discussed fixies because they’re obviously super gay. Mountain biking is the fucking shit. When I used to ride mtb I did way more ballsy shit then I have ever done on my bmx. I love bmx too cause I can be smoother in the streets and in the park. You just gotta embrace it nigga.
you’re all taking this way too seriously, it is funny as fuck. don’t take it for more than anything but someone’s opinion and it’s here for your entertainment. I say it’s a good opinion at that.
arguling about bike size is retarded.
but .
bikes are set up for certain things,
hey you ride around in the city alot dont really do tricks, sure get a fizie.
wait what ?
you want to be in a fixie gang ?
and scare the cars ? with your acrobatics your rolled up pants and silly faggot waffle soles..
go right ahead.
i’m all for bigger bikes, not silly bikes.
i ride a bike thats not a mtb for street and park, it’s not set up like a mtb with knobby tires and suspension and multiple gears, it’s basically a bmx but bigger.
though when the model c comes out i’m prob getting rid of that mtb shit
free chris duncan plug.
buy his shit
real talk!
oh and if anyone hasn’t yet realized bmx is Adams religion and he’s a fucking zealot.
get used to it
we stole from old school fixed, skateboarding and motorcycles… we cant really talk that much shit.. i had a fixed and used it to get around the city it was fun.. definitely popped a few wheelies no big deal.. i jumped a full suspension mountain bike over the big box at ray’s mtb park.. it was fun as hell. Dont really care either way but bmx is what i like to do the most and that other shit is fun and kinda cheesy but who cares.. shit i owned rollerblades when i was 12, kick me out of bmx.
fuck this stupid faggot… i jumped off a fucking roof yesterday so eat my shitty asshole. u just think everything u dont do is gay… and rollerblading is just running with fucking wheels on ur shoes…. fuck that thats fucking stupid
i ride motocross and bmx… bmx stole basically everything but grinds and barspins from motocorss, and mtb is the same thing as mx but without an engine.. This retard is just mad because his sport is changing. i love any type of biking, not gay wood-pushers (skaters) or rollerblading douchebags. and bmx racing is gay… put a motor in it.. its funner trust me
pussy is good
mtb is kool
k buddy fuck you you didnt even write about why you dont like fixed gear bikes like grow the fuck up at least explain why instead of talking about cat rapists
i think you need to get a life why do you hate on mountain bikers so much it is just as good as bmxing
you make me sick
Booooo fucking hooo. I ride my brakeless big wheeler at every park I go to and I’ve never heard anyone cry as much as you, sir.
you sir are a BIG GAY BABY. waaw waaw my pussy hurts. grow up, pull daddies dick from your lips, wipe your tears and go ride.
The deal is fixie tricks are gay as fuck. Haters can lick my poop. Mtb is fucking gnar, bmx is cool. Thats it!
Dude, you just wasted two screens of text bagging mtb without a valid reason. Your rationale can be summed up as: duuuh its lame because bmx was first. Sorry man, this just doesn’t cut it. Applying the same logic you can say that any car made after Model T (or some earlier models) are sh1te because cars have already been made.
Seriously, get your narrow minded arse out and ride. And consider stop publishing stories like these, because you’re attracting attention the same way a forum troll does
err never dun this b4 but wtf…said sum funny shit from what i red. only read a fue coments but sum one was arguing bout wot came first http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvKeuq0nLSQ thats pritty much the same princible as wat they are to day but altho i got mates who ride fixt the only reason id av one is to go as fast as shit of a shuvel thats a beast.. bmx is sic an obv where its at but if you ride mountain bikes were there ment for. so are they. why have beef with enythink? the only beef i got is if sum scally tred to rob me bike id jump on there face/face’s ha ha i just rememberd sum skally bike thief got jumped by arze the other day.and got the shit kicked out of them by sum of the yunger ones aparently.did a good job from wat i got told b4 booommm !! as long as u like what u do …dnt become a cock about it. and your not actualy hurting eny one other than your self bikes are bikes respecet em all whats up with that? but ay other wise who the fuck els will i no the nob ed councle, skallz, sertan boring old ppl dnt ?
VERY INTERESTING & ENTERTAINING——BY THE WAY—— I FUCKING HATE ——SCOOTERS——- AS MUCH AS YOU HATE FIXERS!
“Although I would definitely like to see your average fixed gear freestyler jump off a roof (preferrably swan dive style into some tar or asphalt)” -classic.
fuck those hippies
WHY I DONT LIKE COMMENTS ON THE COME UP – THEY ARE ALL RETARDED – EVEN THIS ONE
There now I feel better – The world knows what I think because I am important and what I think matters. aaaaaaaaaaaBURN !!!!
dude, i fuckin felt like throwing up after reading the first four paragraphs. You definatly got your point across, although “You even pull out one of those big spiraly crazy straws and sip up all the leftover diaheria water.” has to be the nastiest shit i have ever read
I live in Dayton,ohio and a few years ago me and my dude where riding around when apparently he had to use the bathroon,long story short a bum was in a portipotty raping a fucking cat! It so happens that there was a peice of shit mountain bike next to the portipotty. The most disturbing thing I’ve ever seen!
no fixie fucks
Adam, how could you like bmx when you completely suck at it?

Anyone could ask you the same question about getting laid.
bmxers are pissed at mountainbikers because they rip all our berms up with their nobbly tires in order do do a ‘mad roost’ or something… that’s why all the best trails are ‘no mtb allowed’
trials riding, (trials, not trails} is awesome. dudes coming up with some innovative street move, what class does that fall into, they come from a long line of spandex and styrafoam helmets and log rides, but i have seen some trials riding on the streets that would shut down most new breed nibblers, or even the gnardog street killers for that matter. trials riding is a breath of fresh air. opened my mind to what is possible on bmx, take some influence and kill it harder thaan the mtbers. take your suspension to the mountains.
being a mountain bike trail rider ( as in hardtail dh ), i agree its got no place on the streets, for years i rode a rigid brakeless, full steel mtb street/jump thing, trying to concinve myself i wasnt gay, then i got fucked up the ass once, sold the fucking mtb and got a bmx.
Dont get me wrong, there are some guys out there doing some pretty impressive stuff, but you might aswell get a bmx, i can see the point if youve got 1 bike thats got to make do, but going and building an out and out mtb for street and park is dumb, stop kidding yourself that your 5ft dirt jumps are big enough to need 4″ of suspension.
and for all the dumb posts saying adam-22 is queer and he should give up bmx, stop visiting the fucking site, every time you come on here and post hes getting paid for the advertising!
hey adam i fully agree with you i got inot a fight at my local park over one of those stupid trendy track bike fag and needless to say he didnt walk away.but whats your opioion on the scooter kid epidimic? its horrible at my park and half the time im trying to hit them.
Last road trip we went on, we threw shit mega fast out the car window and scooter fags, mountain bikers and fixed gear homo’s. lololol
i guess adam doesnt know that bmx started out with people doing jumps and copying there favorite motocross stars on fixed gears and mountain bikes, bikes broke too much and therefore companies came up with the bmx, dumbass. ive rode down tracks made for mountain bikes, i wouldnt recommend it cuz its fuckin scary but doing tricks on fixies and mtb’s does sound really retarded for me and besides mountain bikes seem out of place when theyre not on dirt
i sense a decent amount of time was put into this hateful post.
