  1. What is a good BC wheel for around $200? Is the bedford 24" street any
    good for the price? Also, what is the differance between BC pro
    platforms and 'the other ones'?

    24"s are good, the pro plates are the long ones, the others are teh
    shorts. Both are great plates.

    And Evan agrees with someone for once, I feel special :p.
    Wait, maybe I should get a 20"... or not.

  8. Yeah, its obious that hand-on-wheel stuff would be easier with a bigger
    wheel, but some people say that they are faster. Doesn't make sense but
    I can't really argue.

    I don't do hand on tire stuff anymore, i use to, but i dunno, all seems
    lame now.

    yes, bigger wheels are way faster.

  13. This is off topic, but has anyone gone into a halfpipe with a bc yet?
    With some pumping you could actully start getting some air.

  15. Thats pretty freaking awesome!!!

    I have seen some of his vids and pictures and saw him on quarters and
    on spines, but not a halfpipe.

    I should really start to BC, just need about 200dollars so I can invest
    in a good BC wheel and not have to upgrade or replace parts for a long
    time.

  16. So the Bedford 24" Street with PROs would be a good choice?

  18. I've been thinking about getting a 24" but I've been waiting to try one
    out before deciding. So, yeah, get a 24" so I can try it. 😉

    BTW, I'll probably be visiting Darren this weekend, so if you order it
    and Darren can get it put together in time I can bring it back for
    you.

  19. You should really be choosing a bc for what its good for and what you
    tihnk youl be doing on it. Just because a bc feels good when you ride
    it, dosnt mean it will be good for the use you have for it.

  20. Oh well, the 24" street isnt around any more 🙁. Looks like ill go for
    the 20" street 'cause the only other available 24" is the downhill for
    like $300. Yeah, i guess you get more high speed wobble with the 20"
    but whatever, it should be good enough. And Jason, I might take you up
    on that offer.
