Remember, grammar is the difference between "I helped my uncle Jack off a horse", and "I helped my uncle jack off a horse".

I just started getting into flatland stuff about 3 days ago and suck so far, I blame my sh*tty bike and lack of practice.

It was Dallas Craigslist add, actually in Denton, TX.  He removed it after it all sold I guess.  He had a BUNCH of stuff listed.  I have gotten hella deals on craigslist this past year.  Got my little boy's jr. redline for 35 bucks.  I have basically nothing in my 20 in. failure grade 1 complete custom build (offered a guy a trade on a crossbow that i paid a few bucks for at a garage sale).  Bought a brand new hoffman rythme complete for 85 bucks and ended up trading it to another guy on craigslist for a 24 inch bmx cruiser.....with custom parts.  You just have to check it a couple of times a day, be lucky and have the ability to travel a little to get the stuff.

hell, i actually saw an article this past year about some kid that was g=checking the "give aways" on craigslist, collecting crap, resale/trading it off on other craigslist adds and ended up with a damn near new car within a year of up-swapping.

Sweet deal
All things in life are temporary. If going well...enjoy it, they will not last forever. If going wrong don’t worry, they can't last long either.
