i think the worst bike ever is an ironhorse jump.
lets just say the brakes are totaled.
the headset fell off the first day
the back tire wiggles alot and almost fell off (chain is also loose)
the pegs…SUCK - 5/8 and you cant grind worth crap
the crank bolt fell off 3 times in a week
the sprocket is so big you cant go up skatepark ramps without bending it
so heavy you can barely lift the back tire off when you bunnyhop never mind what happens when you wheelie
the tires have like no treds
the tubes are as thin as 2 pieces of paper on top of each other
the grips are pretty much styrofoam.
and you guys thought you had it bad. this bike was my first bike and i don't recomend this to anyone. I now trust haro (bikes) and flybikes (parts) as brands.

Parts that are horrible, not necessarily the company:
Eastern pedals (stripped spindle threads)
New primo powerbite crank arms (stripped pedal boss, twice)
Demolition f-1 chainwheel (absolutely destroyed it just from riding normally)
Demolition trail tires from a few years ago (ledge grind, popped tire)
Oddyssey aluminum sealed gyro, the steel one was alright
Most older Haro products failed me miserably
Most of these issues with certain products are from at least a few years ago, as I've gotten smarter about what I buy, and I don't ride quite as much, so less wear.

demo cranks ive had for over a year no problems.
tree peg i have in the front for almost a year, no problems.
maybe since you ride street, you should stop being so sketchy.

maybe you should stop sitting on his nuts cuz, if he even said that he rode street, he should ride as hard as he wants and not let the parts and their quality get in the way-and besides-im pretty sure you're SUPER gentle on your bike because you ride park…maybe you should take up riding sketchy and enjoy your parts for real

I am not going to say they were the worst but the way I used them was well cheesey?
I used to have BIG Cheese spike pads on my crossbar and toptube. It would have been understandable on a race bike but I have only ever ridden freestyle. It was fun to go to the park though. Most people didn't know they were pads and even pedestrians just walking by would come up with the most dumbfounded expressions and ask ” What happens when you miss the pedals?” . I joked with them ofcourse…” well then I better not miss and skewer my nuts huh !!”
Big cheese though made some other stuff that wasn't bad from what I heard.
I also used to run this poverty 44 tooth sprocket that was like an inch thick and oversize profile cranks. The chain I used was this thick looking motorcycle thing. I think that bike was close to like 40 lbs. The companies are good but the heavier than anchor parts were kinda crappy.

SCG's are the worst shoes I've ever bought. They fall apart in no time. I guess that's what happens when you try to pass SOAP shoes off as BMX shoes. I heard they went out of business. Figures.

if youve been riding tires for 8 months…especially folding tires and there not worn or anything you clearly dont ride hard enough.

eastern frames are the worst bike frames ever!
my friend bought one (forgot the name) and he let me ride it
a week later i bent the frame from the front bar that holds the forks..
im a pretty heavy rider. and since then my friend lets me test out all
of his new bikes.. he's gone old school and uses a damn Gt. hasn't messed up on him and i drilled out the back to get some up to date rims n pegs.
also, fit grips suck.. they lasted me like 2 weeks..
bendable tires stink! i ripped the treds on my back tire
eastern handle bars are just gay!
mmmmm, i think thats all ihave to say for now..

honest to god guys thats rediculous, i cant stand people that sit behind screen names and bag companies and there parts … sure everyone goes through parts … but if ur going through a set of cranks a week then ur doing somthing wrong … whether u ride like a tank or just arnt putting them on properly …
and most of the stuff u guys are listing is stock … HELLOOOOO STOCK PARTS ARE SOLD TO MAKE MONEY NOT TO LAST FOREVER … everyone dose it. its a money making thing
