  1. I want to get a BC and I want to get a PSP. I figured that the BC wheel
    will come out to about $150 (if I build it myself), and just a PSP is
    about $200. (I can still download Video's and music to it, and I could
    buy games later.) Which one should I get first? I already have a Torker
    LX, so I'm leaning twords the PSP. after I buy plates, I can also try
    them out on a wheel from a bike in teh garbage or something, untill I
    get a good wheel. So which one? I'm torn!

    It is always better to keep your mouth shut and have people question
    your intelligence, than to say something stupid and leave them in no
    doubt.

    Don't worry about looking like a dork for diff color cranks. You ride a
    uni, lol.

  2. Also a bc once you have it (which is cheaper than a PSP) then you can
    use it however you want. Dont need to buy expencive games, no need to
    charge the batterys either, which the PSP doesnt have very good
    battery life either.

  5. I don't care about the babes. Seriously.
    Alright, would getting some plates and putting them on a wheel from the
    garbage, get a PSP, and then buying a better wheel be a better idea? I
    could learn to ride, learn a few basic tricks and small drops, and then
    get a better wheel if I decide that a BC is better than a PSP. I'll
    have to play my uncles to see if it's worth it. The selling point of
    the PSP for me is that my MP3 player has a mind of it's own, wont turn
    on half the time, and I can't delete any of the songs except for the
    ones on the flash card that I have in it. A PSP can also go online with
    a wireless hook up, right?
    Ohh, I got it! maybe I'll just get a job and then get both and maybe a
    DX or something! Except that I'm 14. argh.🙁 😄

  8. A PSP is way too bulky and has too poor battery life to be used
    conveniently as a pvp or an mp3 player. Also memory cards cost alot so
    getting it as good as an mp3 player is a pain.

    I would suggest get yourself a full fledged bc, don't skimp out. I
    weigh practically nothing and I bent 3 cheap axles just from trying to
    learn to ride. Unless you get a quality bike wheel with it (ie. 14 mm
    axle) then its pretty useless.

    Another thing is that soon the PSP will be out of date pretty soon, and
    you won't touch it, also it will depreciate in value 10000 times faster
    than a bc wheel, so if you give up on either one of the two in the next
    month say, you will be able to get more of your money back out of the
    BC wheel.

  9. Exacly how much for a entire wheel are we talking about? I don't want to
    get too expensive.

  11. I dont know why they really suck. But its basically a handheld PS2 with
    a short battery life. Its bulky and will be replaced in the new future
    by a new and even more shiny and expencive gadget. Also you have to
    ask the question: when would you use it? Probably just around the home
    or on short car rides. You cant bring it where you dont have a place
    to recharge it. It has the same or less games than PS2 or X box so if
    you already have one of those you wont get many new games.

  13. What is a PSP anyway? Some game thing?

  14. I really don't like threads like this. Why should we tell you what to
    do? Can you not make your own decisions?

    Well, that being said, Ill still give my opinion.
    BC: $200
    PSP: $200
    Now, add the games. They are around $50 a piece and you will probably
    want one a month. Lets project for a year.
    $50 * 12 months = $600
    That means that,
    PSP: $800
    And an extra $600 at the end of the year to go towards a new uni or
    something 🙂

    Also, the PSP isn't that great. It isn't worth the money, and nor are
    the games. BCing is good for you. It's excersize and its fun! PSPing
    (new verb), or gaming is just sitting on your a$$ and doing nothing.
    Which one do you think is better for your body. On a BC, you get better
    and you can do more stuff, hop higher, etc... With a PSP, you play a
    game, beat it, buy another one, beat it... Who cares? No point to it.

    The PSP will be superseeded, or will break. A BC is upgradable part by
    part if you want to, and it will probably not break. If the BC breaks,
    you can replace the broken part. If a PSP breaks, throw it away.

    A BC never needs to be recharged.

    Now, I find BCing and uniing fun. Thats why I have phased out video
    games from my life totally since I started uniing. It's a good thing,
    because I get outside more and get more excersise.

    I find BCing fun. I find PSP less fun. It's fun for the first little
    while, but then I get bored of games quick. I like BCing, I dont like
    PSP as much. That's my opinion, I hope you liked it. If not, I don't
    care... At all.

  15. A PSP will turn your brain into mashed potatoes and as well as the rest
    of your body. It's not worth it.

    Get the BC and go outside and do something good for yourself!

  17. Just in case you aren't being sarcastic Evan, it is a handheld gaming
    thingy. Much like a gameboy, but better.
