At the moment i ride 2 my frinds house leave my bike at his house or walk my bike 2 skool. If i am early i usually muck around in town(wheely droping off 2 ft flower beds and benches and jumping 8 stairs) but the other day i bent my large chain ring liftin my front wheel up onto a bench. So i wos wandering because i have a xc bike which i use for xc(doh?) but also for trials and juming shall i buy a bmx and keep my xc bike or just get a bash ring (do they cum that big 42 teeth) and kit my bike out with freeride components

Get a jump/hardnut bike

yea, MBUK are testing some hardnuts, fairly cheap ones at that..

Likin the look of that shogun - new craks, groupset, nice..

yes, get a BMX they're good.
and a dictionary.

BMX for jumping/almost killing yourself for fun and keep your XC bike purely XC, I hate it when people do up XC bikes with jump/DH/Freeride components. I just think it is wrong.

what would be a cheap(sub £200) bmx that would survive a good thrashing ever now and then and minimal care

Dunno - most of the ones i've seen are about £200 anyway.

Save a bit more cash n get a good cheap trial/jump bike, like one of them DDG shooters. good frame an components 4 the money!
BMX'S are good but MTN bikes are better IMHO. Gears for up hill anyone?
But thats just me! *AL*

have a look at commencal and the specialized bikes which are good VFM. Better still find a bmx forum and ask people who ride them.
BMX is good, wish I still had mine...

The most expensive BMX ive seen was 240 quid, so i dont think you'll have trouble finding a good one. Actually my mate invested in a used BMX recently - only £40 with XTR brakes.. not bad..

Failing that, u could get a used jump bike or something.

fuck off.

How incredibly sad

I used to ride a bmx to uni, it was awesome, xtr v brakes and DMR cheiftain cranks. totally unnecessary but nevermind
