Janson Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 at least i think it's easier to throw a short 24" around than my long low and silver bike. doesn't mean i don't try to, some of you might have seen my (horrible looking) bunnyhops.. i can't get a 24 for several reasons, one of them being that i'd get stick for having noisy brakes, just like i got when i put CRV pads on my bmx. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 I can ride my ivan in skateparks better then a few local bmxers...that makes me happy :) Yeah you probably can. In fact I've seen the videos to prove it. But whether or not you can do it on a czar, it'll be easier on something shorter. But then again taps will be more difficult, so it's horses for courses really. I'm not about to buy a barge any time soon :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr kenny Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 i ride bmx too....apparently :) :P :P - there is quite a few 24" doods in the leeds area, pretty cool ah but only a few of the tardcore elite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halliday Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 i started off on a 26" many years ago, then moved to 20" for a few years and now im ont to 24", and love it. cant see my self goin back, there just so fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 its emmense how much i want either a short 26 or a 24" but theres 2 things holding me back: Cost of driving/lessons/test. To tall for short bikes really....but id love one, after riding with a bmx'er for ages id love to try some of the things he does.

Tom_C Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 I've just got rid of my 24" Leeson, and although I felt comfortable on it, I hardly rode it because everyone in my area now rides bmx and we have a great laugh just messing around. I agree with Bongo that bmx is immensely fun but he has 2 indoor parks to ride! Saying that, the nearest indoor park to me is about 1 and a half hours but I think it's the people you ride with that make all the difference to what you find fun, the more riders there are, the better you progress and enjoy yourself. P.S Timbo, Phil Feeney etc all started on 26" bikes and rode them damn well, 24 just makes it easier and looks better because the wheels are the right size for the frame, unlike some tiny 26" frame with massive wheels.
