Sam Nugent Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Pretty pointless topic really but yes they do. And I would think most parents do because if their child cycles round on a bike doing tricks/stunts etc they would realise what it is if you see what I mean. I don't understand how your mum cannot know what it is . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunn_bmixx Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 my parents dont really understand the money involved and its like a marathon for me to get most stuff untill i tell my parents that if i dont get then i could die when trying to drop off something. But my dad has seen me ride a bit and knows some stuff about it but my mum keeps out of it kIan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true, god told me.My parents say the following things about trials. Aren't you getting a bit old to be playing with that stupid little bike?You could have bought a car with that money, why haven't you learnt to drive yet?You could have used that money for a deposit on a house, why haven't you bought a house yet?What's so special about an £80 freewheel ? (open the eno) Oh, right, I get it.My parents say the following things about the bmxHaha! your tyres are gayWhy do we still have your old bmx in our shed?

anzo Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 (edited) Haha! your tyres are gaySeriously? My rents never say anything regards something being 'gay'...which they did.Ermm..My parents understand it, I get the;It costs too muchYou've only just bough <insert part>, ususally refered to as 'that thing'They 'tut' at my tartybikes invoices, lolWhy dont you sell it and pay off your car insurance? (yes, because I'm going to give up a hobby and give all the money to a coroprationI leave the bike in the house and refuse to leave it on the yard or my garage (which is like Fort Knoxx, but still...) which pisses my mum off no endI have a dozen cardboard boxes in the house which I refuse to throw away becuase they 'may come in handy'I have about a 2 bikes worth of spare parts scattered around the house, which, again, I refuse to sell.

Just sometimes my mum says I should stop before I hurt myself more than the other countless times before But even though Trials is my number one topic when I see my relatives, with pics and numerous random comments etc.., they quite can't see the difference with bmx yet (even though I have ride a stock!).It's not like I have just started, but they don't care really.It's just a silly way to spend time, but hey, I don't get any thrill cruising in a car or watching TV.

anzo Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 I don't get any thrill cruising in a car or watching TV.Hammer...Nail...Head.Im the same, its the TV thing. My folks dont understand whats wrong with saving some money one weekend to sit inside, with them and watch TV. Its not the time with them i'm bothered about, to be fair I love spending time with them because I don't do it often enough...but TV?!?Eastdale Street or whatever the hell it is...I dont find soaps interesting, or anything else on TV for that matter.

crazyman with a death wish Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 i went out and brought a bike off a friend but it was broken so i got it cheap as it got fixed. i was told that it cost £40 to fix it so my mum said that it was all a waste of money getting the bike fixed until the guy that was fixing the bike rang and my mum said to him is this bike worth fixing and the guy said hell yeah the bike is worth £500 paids but after i got it back she said it doesn't look like a trials bike and i quote "it doesn't have a seat u can't go on bike rides with that" she thought of the other type of trialswell sorry for the life story (being so long) but i had to say all of it and when i said to my grandad i am getting a trials bike, when he saw it he said where is the engine.i have a smart family.hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
