First post in general mtb section!

Yeah buddy. Good to see people like you opening up to MTB.

For sure. I can't stand regular bmx'ers that say "I hate mtb's" or they're gay. I think MTB is pretty sick, I'm down to buy one to ride on, 20" gets boring after 6 years, time to pick something new up to ride every once in awhile.

another vitalbmx member here...

i cant wait till i can afford a dirt jumping mtb. trails are sooooo much better on a 26"

I'm an old school bmx pro turned mtb pro. Bmx and mtb both rock. when I saw that ressler had posted i figured he'd be bashing mtb's (i'm also on vital bmx)

good to see ressler and dave on here now i have 2 websites to harass hucker dave on. you to joel i see you over on the monkey
you def need a 26 dave you dont look as big and awkward on one. and we all know there is a better profile pic for you

trying to break my riot with a onehanded bar hump!!!! haha

glad I found this website, hope it really takes off.

Very cool of the Vital guys to start this website.

I'm very excited about the new VitalMTB site.

YEAH! stoked you guys are coming from BMX and i hope it works the other way around, too. i ride both 20's and MTB's and check VitalBMX everyday. i was stoked that we could get the MTB site going, too!

tell your friends and get 'em stoked so we can get HUGE!

heyyy i'm i ride fit from vitalbmx, my username says it all, last time i was on a mtb was about 8 years ago when my brother had a wal mart POS...and i broke it : /

For sure man, anywhere I can read up on different mtb's or look at any decent bikes? I think I want to do dirt jumping considering I already ride trails on a 20"

same here, i cant log in after i opened that dam link chase posted the other day and cant really be screwed with fixing it.im pretty keen on getting into MTB too, hopefully this place doesnt turn to shit like vital bmx did...

yea im on vital BMX too, i forgot my password tho

I'm on here too Matt. Fuck you.
hahahah

i rode mtb's about 13 or 14 yrs ago i dont really know why i stopped?
but i hope to get one next yr. i am also on vitalmx with same name.
oh yeah i am from louisiana and at that time it was hard to get anyone
to do anything so i had nowhere really to ride that is why.

maybe this site will help me to learn what MTB to buy.

I'm thinking about buying a pretty set up downhill mtb. My buddy bought it back when he was 14, hes 21 now, and bought it from a pro, cant remember the pros name. But it's pretty setup and worth some cash but I can get it dirt cheap. Would it be a good idea to pick it up?

Not at all man. I may come off as an asshole at some points. But I respect anybody that rides bikes, no matter what kind it is. We all love riding bikes and that's all that matters.

Depends what bike it is. Also what condition?

possibly, I know the frame is a giant. Would it be worth 1000?

possibly get a pic

I wish I had grown up with BMX prior to riding mountain bikes. Maybe I wouldn't have spent half my life riding before I really learned how to manual correctly.

good to see ya, res. now u have to rack up about 10,000 forum posts to get back to where you were on vitalbmx.

Haha. Who is this?

And My 20" now has all of the money I could possibly put into it. I'm thinking of buying a 24 or 26" bmx styled bike for dirt jumping, like bmx trails. Any recommendations?
