    I just want o make a quick PSA. if you do get a cheap bike, and I dont suggest you do, but if you do you have to go around and do a bolt check frequently make sure its not loose, especially the quill stem, the whole thing is held together with one long bolt and if that loosens your front wheel and your bars will separate directions and you will faceplant the earth. happened to me when I was 14, I still have a scar for life, wear a helmet too

You would think that chunk carved out of your arm would learn you, but know. That is Exactly why I love ya Brother! You push the limits every time you ride. Sam if you find your self in Ogden Utah I could show you a Rad jump park up on the hills above the town of Ogden that is brilliant. Ogden is north of Salt Lake City. If you want to find me look for "Mark Peterson Fat Bike" and you should be able to message me. It is a bucket list thing to meet you Sir. It would truly be an honor. Cheers Sir.

    It's amazing that cheap department store bikes haven't changed in price since I was a kid in the early 1980s. For example, a cheap Huffy, Kent, Murray, etc., BMX when I was a kid was around $100 in say, 1983, and 40 years later, they are still around $100 (I think the cheapest Huffy 20" BMX is $78 right now on Walmart's website), even though $100 in 1983 translates to $305.90 in 2023 according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI inflation calculator.
