    Cab is my all time favorite skater and Thorne is a badass. Cab is supposed to be hooking me up with a new autograph since my original Bones Video he signed got stolen/lost in my move some years back. Cab, Vallely and Kilian Martin are the most down to earth skaters I have ever talked to. Nyquist and Escamilla are most down to earth bmx'ers I've ever gotten to meet.

    In my old age I've gotten very accepting of people at local parks and areas no matter their ride. Helping a kid a a few weeks back learn how to do his first grind was one of my coolest days in a very long time. When my ass is sitting in a wheelchair I need people to entertain me so I'll help them as much as I can when I see someone trying.

    Being a bit younger, I was all about the Bones Brigade as a little kid. I was like four the first time I saw the Video Show, and at that age, these skaters are right up there with cartoon characters for idoldom. Cab, Hawk, and Mountain have always been my favorites, but I remember not liking Hosoi in the 80's because the big kids in the neighborhood would always talk about him like it was like you liked Tony Hawk or Christian. By the time Middle School hit, and I realized I was the "old school kid" in my school, I dropped that rivalry and realized how sick Hosoi's skating was. Still think the dudes are all great. Doesn't seem Hosoi is all too preachy for someone who found himself some jeebus. Lance and Tony are both doing good things for the industry, and have passed their awesomeness down to the next generation. (I flipped out the first time I saw a Riley Hawk ad.) And Cab still rides EXACTLY like I wish I could.

    I've always had weird feelings about Mike V and Rodney Mullen, though. Like, I think they rip, and they seem cool as shit, but they just never were favorites of mine per sey. It's almost like I respect the hell out of 'em but feel guilty for not being a bigger fan of either.

    i used to ride some dirt ramps near my neighborhood. It was like an everyday thing for a good while. we had shovels and all. after a couple of my friends moved away it kinda died, though.
    I used to be able to (and probably still can after a few tries) feeble grind, 180, and 180 pivot.

    you would think with all this, i would have no beef with bmxers....wrong.

    they're probably the douchiest people i know. constantly snaking and just not giving a fuck about whether your skating or not. Total disrespect. fuck them.

    i guess i've got the same problem as everyone else with bmx'ers... i don't mind the sport at all, in fact i've got a few friends who are bmxers, but the great majority of the ones i occaisionally see at skateparks are pure fuckin retards. they always get in the way, don't give a shit about who's "turn" it is or whatever, they just go for it even if they know you're about to go for a run or trick. i don't mind the sport at all, just most of the riders themselves are bigtime douchebags if you don't ride a bike. lol

    oh yeah and when i said i could 180 and 180 pivot, i meant on flat ground. not off the jumps- that would be insane

    Thanks a lot dude!, the only mod I use is called 'THAW-THEMOD' (CLICK TO DOWNLOAD), because the rest the mods affect the skateboarding aswell, and I like playing realistic in THAW too, I don't want perfect balance and endless grind, the main things this mod does are:

    - bmx bike available in arcade mode/created maps/ online
    -created maps available in online.
    -set restart points anywhere.

    It's been a long time since I last played online, I just cruise with the bike nowadays.
    If you want to, I could upload my created maps. I did many famous spots (El toro, hubba hideout, MACBA, a LaFayette plaza I look up in Google Sketchup, and some Dew Tour/X games courses), like more than 40 in total hahah.

    Actually I don't know if I could play online now, since the last time I checked, latin america was banned from some servers (I'm from Argentina).
