I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

just curious who all rides. i started riding street again this year.

i got an old FBM angel of death. witha bunch of other older goodies looking to build a completely new bike this spring/fall and get back into it. i want to build something light. looking @ the FIT ED. i run brakeless so i want something super light i can 360 hop or whopper off a curb.

started riding back in highschool around my town with a few people

came to pittsburgh and saw all the sick places to ride street. met up with a few people that went to my school and rode with them. i also saw road fools 8 (i think thats the one they shot in pittsburgh, maybe it was 12?) and they shot a lot of the places i used to ride here in pittsburgh. rode a haro f4, eventually had to replace everthing on the bike. i used to bust chains like a mutha from grinding on the right, so i switched it out for a mosh 28 tooth sprocket with a grindguard.

got out of it when i moved out of the city to the country, and after i got my car. i didn't need my bike to get me around anymore. i would like to get back into someday :)

I haven't seen any of the new companies make a quality frame/fork combo. Just looks like any of the others with little differences. Couple parts here and there look decent.

Out of all of the frames I've ridden this FBM is by far the most solid setup I've owned. It's not heavy either. I'll be on their frames for a while yet.

Colin, who did you ride with in Pittsburgh? We used to be there almost every weekend riding trails or street somewhere.
