Default New Toy!

I bought a new toy. I decided that after 28 years, maybe I should give it another shot. Last time I raced BMX I was 12. I do a lot of mtn. bike racing, but somehow I think the potential for injury is higher with this. Wish me luck.

Why you little wippersnapper!!! You must have seen that I also ride a Honda. They actually have a cruiser class 40-44. I'll still get my a** handed to me unless it is a 20 mile BMX race.

Did you leave any skin behind to mark your trail. Hope not too much.

Off topic a little, I get flats left and right! Any suggestions on tubes/tires without going rubber inserts?

I use "Bullet Proof" tubes. They are like $15 USD. For tires I'm riding Haro Catapualts with Alex Super J tripple walls with a warranty from my bike shop for 2 years.

Are they pinch flats? If so air them up a little and dust the inside of the tires with baby powder. I use conti vertical pros.
