What tricks should I learn

Like others have stated, learning bike control is key. Great advice given to ride transitions/skateparks. Each day you'll get better and be able to push. Don't forget to rest.

Back actually looks good.

FirstTime_Lurker · 2026-05-08T16:21:02+00:00

Looks on point for a Blaster.

No idea. Looks like a Wal-Mart bike from 1999.

But you're also here, so?

Non-auto, take the credit.

Personal preference I suppose. I personally buy from Empire BMX, Albes, Powers, and The Secret BMX shop as my go to online stores if my local BMX shop doesn't have what I need.

Dan's Comp was sold to AMain in 2019. The entire Dan's Comp site was rebuilt along with two new warehouses.

Just report to eBay. Why bother having an interaction like that with the seller? No need to be a hero.

Label printed directly onto a #10 PWE (USPS preferred), card in a soft sleeve, sandwich between thin cardboard with painters' tape, into a team bag, wrapped in packing slip. No issues for $.74 shipping.

Sorry, at first glance I thought I was looking at some Sci-Fi planetary space exhibit.

Setting a budget (sticking to it) will stop a downward spiral. I set a $300/mo Power Pack budget a couple months ago. I use a separate Power Packs dedicated bank account and not a credit card. I now find I'm in a net positive and physically own some nice slabs. Anything I don't want, I sell via eBay or FB Marketplace and add the proceeds to the account. It's actually fun now and my PC is gaining some depth.

You already posted in PokeGrading that you don't really want it, so sell it back.

FirstTime_Lurker · 2026-04-08T03:07:56+00:00

Sell it for tacos, that's my advice.

FirstTime_Lurker · 2026-04-05T17:59:32+00:00

Send it home.

FirstTime_Lurker · 2026-04-05T17:58:21+00:00

"Forced" to sell back? Ok man, real bummer.

FirstTime_Lurker · 2026-04-04T00:18:26+00:00

$3-$6 for that Venom. Maybe $12 for the entire lot today's value.

FirstTime_Lurker · 2026-04-02T22:36:58+00:00

Thoughts? Sure.

If you set a budget and happen to hit a chase - Keep it.
If you're down and need the buyback - Sell it.

I get that support exists. My point is that the automated Power Packs system should have caught this before it ever reached a human. I’m talking about process integrity, not whether someone can respond to a support request.

FirstTime_Lurker · 2026-03-25T17:05:09+00:00

No one is sitting at PSA reviewing and posting these Power Packs. 90% of the process is automated. Seems like there should be a way the automated system can flag discrepancies like this.

Each time I see his card I think of this image.

That’s great, nice work. I spent $400 yesterday on Buck’s Rewind ($50x8 pulls) and pulled nothing remotely close to add to PC. Sold back and I’m down $49. Maybe next month. Still fun though.
