I would love to see a Floval Flyer frame/ fork painted with the old school SE Camo pad colors. Then put blue anodized parts all over it and blue stickers. That would be kick Ass! I would definitely be racing it at my local track.....South Park. (40-44 cruiser)

Thanks Torrey. I am an SE fan but he isn't. He ended up getting a Fit Dakota frame in raw finish. I wanted to wait and get him a Sunday complete but he didn'y want to wait til Spring. Here is what he is riding now. Fit Dakota frame, Fly forks, S&M stem, bars and chain wheel, Profile hubs, Fit cranks

Here's a pic one of his buddies took. I want to get this one made into a poster for him for xmas. Tyler_turn_down.bmp

That is AWESOME! Tyler would love to ride in that tunnel!

Thanks Torrey. I am an SE fan but he isn't. He ended up getting a Fit Dakota frame in raw finish. I wanted to wait and get him a Sunday complete but he didn'y want to wait til Spring.

He was riding a 2009 Verde Prism complete but we changed the bars, stem and chain wheel to S&M (pictured). He already cracked that frame and we got a 2008 Verde frame as a free one time replacement......but that frames chainstays started bending in about two months. He only weighs about 105 lbs. I will never buy a Verde frame again.

We have been working on it for almost two months now. buying a little at a time so it doesn't feel like I spent so much. lol

Thanks for the tips. ya I am going to seal it and then paint it a green or brown to help camoflauge it so it doesn't stand out as much. my wife doesn't want to see it from the rear window on the house.

That pic is awesome! He can't wait to go to RAY's in Cleveland and practice backflips in the foam pit.

This was my sons idea. I am funding the idea and his friends are helping him build it. I built a 1/4 pipe once but this is awesome!

I was cleaning and organizing the garage today since the weather was so nice and I snapped some photos of some of my bikes. I am sure my wife thought these were going in the shed in the backyard but I had something else in mind. I know......I need to finish the drywall. 1983 Skyway TA ...... 1984 Diamond Back Formula One ......2008 Retro PK Ripper

Wow! cool pic. I will be 44 next week and although I don't get big air anymore, I do race. You should try 45 - 49 cruiser class. Then you will be hanging with guys your age. If you can jump like that.......I am sure you will do great racing too!

Thanks Bob. He is one of the very few his age to wear his helmet. I don't even have to tell him anymore. I just wish he would wear pads too.

I have only seen him crash when he he used to race and it always worried me went he went down. He raced from 6 yrs old until 10 but now prefers park riding and trails. I guess I just don't think about him getting hurt anymore since he is a little older.

Here's some current pics of my 14 yr old son riding.
