MTB, BMX, & Trials Bikes - Which to choose?

I'm weird, but I prefer working on bikes more than riding them. I like the buzz of riding something different, but eventually it feels normal and I have to go for something different to get the buzz back again.

i like gaming and mountainbiking. i dont have that much time for mtb, because i must work until 4-5pm and usually ended up tired. i play games every night, because it makes me happy :) and for MTB i only get to do it on Friday/ Sunday. i like it because its fun, and painful.. and the feeling when you nailed a trick is just wow. so, i dont mind spending money for these two things that i like. :) Cheers!

[@jasonargyropoulos2674]

I spent some money on a nice BMX because I love it and want to learn it and get good at it but found myself having more fun cruising around town on my 26er hardtail practicing bunny hops, manuals and wheelies instead. I like that I can easily just throw the bmx in my trunk and go somewhere but I do feel like it is limited in it's travel abilities on it's own. Can't really cruise around on it without feeling beat after a while (im getting old?). I also feel silly trying to practice BMX as an adult since i'm no good. So I spend my days trying to decide if I want to devote time to BMX or the MTB and can't make my mind up. I guess my dream bike is a 26 inch BMX bike with disc brakes that can still handle some mild trails. My 09 Diamondback Response with Hookworm tires will have to suffice for now.

I ride Street Trials with bmx riders and even join them in game of bike. You can also ride park with a Street Trials bike. It is possible to ride dirt jumps with a Street Trials bike, but you have to know your bike really well (landings may be awkward). ( and because of no shocks the dirt jumps have to be smooth).

[@zosterinski]

you're a bit off on a few things regarding the (street)trials bike. the forks on both street trials and pure trials bikes do have offset (usually 40-44mm). that is just a straight blade fork, as you can also find in bmx forks, which also have offsets. the head angle on pure trials bikes is quite slack 71-72. the street trials bikes have steeper angles 73-75, to emulate the feel of bmx bikes. also, even with that low gearing, it still is faster than a skateboard and can handle different terrain. ps: great riding

[@user-cp3ju2fz4z]

Hmm for BMX there is so much even Dirt Jumping BMX is original for Race and Dirt Jumping and not for street and flatland, BMX did developed by having no money for a MX, so BMX is really a very large field where MTB and Trails can not deal with. Yea it is very important that everyone should think about that, before putting money into a bike for sports and fun, it is also a very personal question some might not like to go very athletic on a BMX and just run down a mountain or do not like speed and do go for Trail.

[@TheAtvRider90]

the best all around bike i think is a solid larger 26" dirt jumper. almost like ur trek. its great in street, possible for moderate trails if the forks big enough and the tires r agressive enough, and u can sort of do skate parks since its so agressive and solid. my bike, a 29" specialized rockhopper, is fun in the street but the wheels r huuuuge and the wheel base is too long and its great on the trails so a smaller, more reliable bike is a great all around bike.

[@bram119]

rode BMX for 2 years and then traded my bike for a shitty mountain bike. then I built a new one rods that for a few months but recently I got a high end full suspension beast of a 29 inch mountain bike with fox front and rear shoxs with a dropper post good all around parts at a garage sale. me being 6'6 and pretty fat its working perfectly and now that I have a job in bringing it to a dropper shop to get it worked on. only problems are the headset that needs to replaced the break pads that also need to be replaced and the front wheel is held together with a quick release axel instead of a thru axel (bike shop tech said he had no idea how I was riding it like that but not to take it off the road until I get I replaced.) all in all I enjoy the mountain bike much more then BMX and once I get a few things replaced I'll be able to take it on some trails.😀
