EOC: WEEK4 There's an app for that.

The Bmx bike builder app allows you to build a bmx bike from all the top brands such as S&M, Fit, Haro, Mirra co. etc. You can pick bars, rims, spokes, nipples (the ones that tighten up the spokes to the rim), grips, chains, sprockets etc. It tells you the cost of all items and shows you the colors and way you designed the bike. After the build is complete it will show you the cost for your ‘dream bike’ and you will be able to pick if you want a life time warranty or a 6 month warranty as well as where you would like the parts shipped and or have the bike together and if you want the parts from American made or shipped over seas. It also can help tell you how much your bike would be worth if you decide to sell it and if you decide to change the parts out on it how much the bike would be worth and it can check how many times you have snapped a chain or something on the bike and if it has decreased the value of the bike.  ( Note this app is recommended for bmx riders that live to ride their bikes and have a passion for it and not just let the bike sit in the garage or storage.)

I did not find an app that is created for this all I found was a ripxxx app which is a bmx trainer that helps you figure out your track times, does more speed help in turns, does more air make you faster or slower. I may be on to something here, but I will have to ask around with some of the people I ride with to see if this app would be useful or if it would be a bust.

Customer Service

                The best customer service experience I’ve ever had was at Cycle Gear. I needed a new dirt bike helmet so I was looking at some online then I went into their store and was looking at their helmets. I was talking to Mike and he was showing me some helmets that were of a decent price.  But they didn’t have my size so I was getting ready to walk out and he showed me a helmet that I was looking at on their website that he forgot was on sale for $100 I liked it and I got it. I haven’t thought down or bad on that company since cause it’s also where I got my gear from a couple years back which was another great experience at Cycle Gear.

Week 1 EOC: My voice

I am a bmx rider and a dirtbike rider. I play guitar and am self taught vocals and screams. My parents divorced when I was 12 so I really got into music and back into my guitar and writing. I also started to ride my bike more to get my mind off the sadness and depression.

                A couple years ago I snapped my ACL riding my bike. Worst pain ever. So that summer I had a 70,000 dollar knee surgery, I also tore my meniscus and 3 other ligaments in my leg and broke a piece of bone off into one of my ligaments. Another thing about me is I’m always having bad luck nowadays.
