8/18/2014 2:00am Reading the BMX forums on a few websites recently I have noticed a severe hatred towards mountain bikers. Now, most of the haters were younger riders, but there were a few older guys as well.

I'm thinking it will float over the sand, but if the deep sand is just in the berms, I'm not sure how much floating I want to...

spankthewan Started a new thread Camera Shopping
8/15/2014 11:04am "I'm" looking at D-SLR cameras with video for under $650. I found a Nikon D5000 for around that, and I am wondering if any of you have any experience with the camera. I can't stand another blurred photo with "my" point and shoot. For God's sake...the thing can't even take a still photo unless it is mounted or sitting on...
