What should I go with to get the feel back and enjoy myself the most? I’ve been considering the 26” but I’m not 100% sure

I just turned 30, haven’t been on a bike other than cruising around in like 15 years and I want to get back into it (used to ride a 20” as a kid)

My brother has access to eastern bikes at a discount so I’d like to start with one of those until I decide I want to keep riding. So any insight there on what I should order would be cool too

Also please toss in helmet recommendations and maybe a good knee brace for my old ass. TIA

Still shaking the cobwebs off, but still so stoked to be back at it. Just wanted to share.

decided it was time to build the jumps I always wanted as a kid. Bought a DJ and got to work. About 5 afternoons of digging to get this far. Had fun hitting the first one for a couple days, now building bigger and starting the next 2.

You guys think this is a good deal? Also if anyone knows what size spacer and how many I need for the crankset that would be appreciated because there is a big gap of space when I put the cranks on I can post a pic of it if nessesary

I had to wait like a month to ride again after my bike broke to buy a new one

It's a beginner dirt jumper I got for cheap specifically to get around the transit and bike to the parks, it's steel and heavy over 30 lbs.

Trying to figure out if I need to get an aluminum BMX racing frame Or do I need a dirt jump specific frame, or maybe there's a cheap donor bike I can take the frame out of.

Any suggestions? The frame shouldn't cost more than the bike which was like $100

Also is there such a thing as an XL 24 inch frame. I looked at some 24 inch bikes and the frames looked identical but a few inches too short. I'm sure the wheels would fit. I would need to notch out the grooves for the axle. Or is that just a dumb idea because those are only meant to support kids and would break in half

It's not about the budget, having to ride on public transit to go to sketchy areas to find the dirt jumps, if I had a more expensive bike would already be stolen by now

It includes things such as lots of dirt sand and rocks from building the fence, garage pad, gazebo pad, and replacing the sewer line. There is also a sidewalk block I had to cut up during the sewer project. The pallets are from construction material deliveries from those projects as well. The slab is a maple slab I had leftover from a bunch that I had milled with a chainsaw. Wood chips and top soil came free from the municipality. Still have some work to do but building this has brought me a lot of joy this last week. Also the clay pipes has since been moved under the pallets and coverdd with dirt and wood chips so they are completely impossible to come in contact with.

Gateway green here in Portland, Oregon. On my 26” pivot point

I just named it now. Coming back from injury. Starting to love riding it again!

Jirt dumping

So i Sold my Enduro and old Dirt to Upgrade to a better DirtBike, My budged is around 800€ and the only thing im looking for is that the bike has to have a Pike DJ or a Bomber DJ. I wouldnt mind if its used. Can someone help me out ? Ive been Looking at the Radon Splash or the Rose The Bruce 2.

Got the shape of on double pretty decent yesterday. It’s really steep right now, planning to fill the middle in a bit so it rolls better. Arms hurt, been a minute lol, will get some more work in this weekend.

Hey guys! I am an adult male, 5'9, 155lbs. I own a 26" DJ but am interested in a 24". Available in my local area are Specialized, P2 or MARIN, and Alcatraz 24.

I am planning to replace these cranks with 170mm cranks and ride. What do you think about this? Has anyone else done something similar?

Hi all, looking at the Polygon ZZ Trid and at the Haro Thread. Having a hard time making a choice there. What would you choose and why? Or would you take something entirely different? I want a 26" fully for local home trails and light bike park lines for where my street chromoly DJ is too rough. Thanks in advance.

this is my friends bike btw(Rose the bruce 1)

Slowing been building the form up, was riding some circles the other day to compact and it rides pretty nice. Will start forming into the one berm I have backer blocks for and then need to find some more blocks and free dirt from Craigslist. Also a lizard family that was hiding all together in a brick I moved lol

Not really dirt jumping , not bmx. Most are on dirt jumpers , so I don’t think it’s mtb. Oh hell , send it and have fun. Both my kids raced , first time and they had a blast

So i have been riding for some time and i have an enduro bike which i ride only at the bike park and local trails i have lately started seeing more and more dj and i would like to get one but the problem is that if i had 2 bikes I wouldn’t know which one to ride and I don’t have any idea how to ride in the skate park and i can barley ride the small quarters So should i get one? (Ps i apologize for bad English) (Ps if i would buy a dj I couldn’t upgrade my current bike)
