Default anyone still BMX/Freestyle??

I was thinking about getting back into it and wanted to buy a new bike. i was wondering if any of you guys knew of any good bike shops with a decent selection of bikes (i'm not talking HUFFY) around the bay area.

yea, it's always akward to start again. When your used to it the bike feels almost weightless, the first time you get back on it might as well be 100 lb's. I just picked up a new bike today and have allready aquired some nice knots on my shin

Haha!! Same here. I finally got on mine after about a year of not riding it. I went to the local skatepark, in about two minutes I was out of breath and tired as hell. I need to ride that thing again to get back into shape.

i just picked up a new haro this week. looks like a pretty sturdy bike with some nice components. So we'll see how long it holds up.
