redline mx24:
(itsa 24" bmx cruiser fyi)
i bought it new for £200, and without even trying i've sort of learnt to jump / whip / manual / wheelie.
as close as possible to actually being able to buy skills.
(yes, the new skills have transfered to the 26"ers in my life)

Buying another hardtail after getting a full suspension bike too soon. I was relying on the suspension to do all the work, learned better technique on the HT.
Riding with people who are better than me helped more though.

All my bikes have been great and all transformed my riding tbh... But it has to be the Hemlock, the Soul though brilliant didn't do anything my older Scandal and Carrera did, it just does it a hell of a lot better, but the Hemlock's a total hoodlum, mainly what I lack in my riding is confidence and it just inspires me to ride stupider stuff. I've loved all my bikes but would I have gone and done laggan black or off beat on my Idrive? Hell no. Yet it's still brilliant for simpler stuff, even does a decent impression of an XC bike. Good enough to flatter but not so good as to make me a passenger, perfect.

Lovely little bike and it was great fun to ride, especially at speed on twisty singletrack. It helped a lot in building my confidence up as it was such a bombproof machine.
Still got the frame in the shed, would love to build it back up one day....Posted 1 year ago # -
gary fisher rig, big wheels one gear - it taught me a lot but it took me a while to learn the lessons
more recently my superfly has been awesome, just feels the right size, bloody love it

Evil Sovereign. Makes you a better rider at everything and makes you enjoy it more. It's better than all the bikes mentioned above (and below), and that's S.C.I.E.N.C.E.
