Bike Reviews

It was the beginning of this year or end of last that Mattel announced that it would be making "Flavas" dolls, most of which would be made to emulate various MTV personalities. These would include Lala- TRL's video jocket, Lil' Kim, Eminem (in blonde hair & also in black hair, to go with his 8 Mile look), Justin Timberlake, and the main doll in the series, they announced, would be inspired by none other than the Queen of Music herself, Christina Aguilera. Christina's doll is the Happy D doll.

One form of Happy D features her blonde hair in complete cornrows flowing long and parted from the middle, much like Christina Aguilera had throughout 2001. Another features Christina's long white hair with piles of black streaks & some little braided strands- much like Christina had her hair in the last half of 2002 (her most known hair style) and it's even in her 2002 Olympics performance outfit.

This version's doll is the best souvenier a Christina Aguilera (or Justin Timberlake) fan could have! It features Christina with white hair, and black hair on the bottom half to replicate that "Dirrty" video hair. If that's not enough, it features the red, white & black leather outfit she wore on that video when she was on a bike. Yes, an EXACT replicate of that outfit (okay, well, the pant legs aren't cut out into chaps because that would be very inappropriate for children.). If that's not enough, it has an EXACT replicate of the red motorcycle she rides in her "Dirrty" video. You couldn't imagine how excited I was considering "Dirrty" is my favorite music video of all time & she is my favorite singer!

Also included with her is a replicate of her current touring partner, Justin Timberlake, complete with his recent facial hair & in one of those urban type outfits he's been sporting lately. He doesn't look as much like himself as the other doll looks like Christina. It was clearly packaged toward Christina fan anyhow.
=D

When I recieved this package of 2 dolls, in the box, they looked cute, kinda. When I took them out to display them, I thought they did a great job on Liam...He is very handsome and realistic, but when I saw Happy D, she looks llike a DWARF!
Her head is way too big for her body and way bigger then any other Barbie, or Ken doll's head, and her her body is too small to fit in any clothes other then pre-teen Skipper. Liam is a little taller then most Kens, so that makes Happy D even shorter. And with her Cruella de Ville hair, she looks like a total freak!!!!!!!
I dont know why they made them look like such an odd couple, but I wouldnt reccemend this set for the girl doll, but the bike and the male doll are awsome!
p.s. the helmets dont fit well at all!

My name is Courtney Hoover.I'm an 8 year old girl.Well you see,Iv'e been biking for 4 years. I started out with a trike I rode it untill dawn.The problem was I rode it so much the it wore out in a year.So then my mom went to the store and got me a bike with dogs and cats all over it so then I rode it everyday too.Then when I got to big for it we gave it to my friend Rachel who was still on training wheels.So I was stuck on a schooter now.At chrismas my grandma and grandpa gave me a 20" girls sea star bike.I was so happy but the front tire went flat in one year.Luckily,my dad fixed it.I was so happy that I didn't have to give up my bike just yet!But in about 4 mounths later my back tire popped.I didn't care though,I kept on riding it.Then in 1 mounth my tire was to bad to ride.My bike wouldn't go and the innertube stuff was leaking.So we thew it away.Bye bike i'll never forget you...I said softly.So my mom took me to toysrus and I picked shock zone.We also got a basket to go with it.I tried my new bike and I loved it!The seat changes colors in the sun and you can stop it 2 ways!My mom got me a green machine to.I don't know how much shock zone will last but...GET YOU KID THIS BIKE!!!!IT ROCKS!!!!!

My oldest child is just learning to ride. I used to bike and want to share this with her. I wasn't a serious rider, only about 100 miles a week. But that was 15 to 20 years ago.

My daughter was thrilled to see the bike. But it was late and time for bed. Once all were safely tucked away I went to make friends with the bike.

An hour later I was covered in sweat. My chest and arms hurt, my back was killing me, and my knee was making a grinding noise when I moved. My excitement was becoming self-doubt. Maybe this wasn't a good idea.

But I had talked about this with my daughter. She was excited. I bought the bike. Eventually things would not seem so demanding.

I gritted my teeth, steeled my resolve and said quietly, "You put it together. Now it's time to ride, mister."

Assembly is challenging. Read the manual and make adjustments as directed, or get someone qualified to do so. Though very inexpensive, this bike seems like a good value. I'll post more later. Remember, wear a helmet. :)

What a great bike. My 3year old loved the bike and still rides it now 1 1\2 later. Perfect size for an extremely growing child. It's viberant colors, and plentifull accesories make riding even more enjoying. Only problem is that, if your child is on the plump side (55lbs ++), the training wheels won't work as expected. Overall a good investment for its cost.

From a bicycle mechanic's perspective this is a decent child's bicycle. The preassembly in the case I worked on was relatively poor, but the frame and components were OK to work with. I found the seatpost QR to be inadequate, I'd replace this with a normal bolt if I had the choice. The four allen bolt handlebar clamp is a true PITA, this is completely unnecessary in a bicycle of this type. If it is well set up and adjusted this bicycle should last well, the frame is not badly executed. The example I worked on had a tight and unlubed headset and one wheel out of true, out of the box.

I bought this for my 5 year old nephews birthday and he just loves it. So far no problems. I have a hard time buying toys for him because he is so rough on his toys he usually ends up breaking most things in a matter of days (if not hours), but so far this has held up to his abuse really well. One thing they don't mention in the description is that this is acutally a gift set. In addition to the motorcycle and controler you also get a pair of sunglasses, a doo-rag and a pair of motorcycle gloves.

I being a big fan of the t.v show decied to get this.I was 9 at time(I'm now 11). This was my my second PS game and my first sports/action game. i would get so frustarated i would end up throwing the controller (remember i was only 9 and it was my first system of any kind) .the only thing i could do was the one where you just skated non-competively and after 30 minutes I was bored. all in all very dissapointing .

ROCKET POWER IS A BLAST.IT'S GONNA BE A GREATEST HITS TITLE(I HOPE SO). YOU SHOULD GET THIS GAME BECAUSE... *THERE IS 16 LEVELS OF BMX,IN-LINE,SKATEBOARDING, AND SNOWBOARDING. *ENTER RACES TO SAVE ROCKET BOARDS FROM GOING OUT OF BUSINESS. * PLAY AS YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER: OTTO- REGGIE- SAM- TWISTER

This game impressed my family. The younger kids at my house have always had trouble sucessfully completing the more complicated games that offer extreme sports competition.

Rocket Power: Team Rocket Rescue was a fabulous find for my family. Sixteen levels of in-line skating, skateboarding, snowboarding, and BMX competition give kids a wide variety of play.

You won't miss with the purchase of this fun and loveable game.

I love every Jet Moto game. I own all three of them! It's a game that pushes racing games to the limit with extreme stunts and radical wipeouts(which I mostly do but I still think the game is great)! I got this game for Christmas from my dad and I love winning the races when when I'm racing against him. Although Jet Moto 3 is easier then the first two, it's graphics out run them both. This is the best game I have in my collection and it will be for a long time so put it in your shopping cart to buy it!

Jet Moto 3 is the greatest video game on the market. No other game offers the kind of exitement and adrenaline rush that Jet Moto 3 does. In comparison with the earlier Jet Moto games, the graphics set a new standard for racing games, and you will not find another racing game like this on any video game system. You will be happy with this game if you buy it.

this game is gooood its twice better than jet moto 1 or 2, (well im not sure of that because i forgot how jet moto 2 is.) alot as how ive seen in this webiste mentions that jet moto 2 is quite best than jet moto 1 and 3, but if you are someone that wants to have new jet motors,good features, outstanting, creative racetracks, than this is the game for you.
what was funny is that i taught this game was going to be a normal race game like any other.. like if i would start in a normal lowering speed as how you normally do when you speed up with a car. but, when i accelerate on this game.. you start speedin up already and goin out there crazy! this game is real wild. myself,i enjoy the game because it feels good going in a good high speed, even when your starting off from the beginning. in a few minutes when i played the game, i got used to the controlling. i find it easy but what is really fun is the way you can ride on something so fast while making a challenge with many other different racers on the game.
the game is interesting while hearing the great good quality music the game gives from each level. that is something that makes me like games.. thing is, the music expresses each level of the game. my favorite are from the khambu race track (the racetrack with the iceroads). as a matter of fact, i like all the songs. they are all great. makes me wanna turn my surround speakers and pump it up.
as how ive said, the game is good, its really good. this is a great experience to speed... especially on my own hands. if you try this game, make sure you get jet moto 2.

I haven't unlocked every level on this game yet, but from what I've unlocked so far I would say that this game is pretty darn good. I mean, who cares about the graphics? C'mon. I bought this game with some of my birthday money at GameStop. I couldn't wait to play it. As soon as I got home I jammed it in my console and started playing. I was hooked! I didn't like the first level, mostly because I had played it already in the THPS2 demo, but the next level, Construction Yard, was AWESOME! And to those people who say this game is easy, they must be sick in the head. This game constitutes a good challenge. Especially the level I'm on now. Can't wait to get to the next level. I'm gonna push myself...
Anyway, if you want to get this game I'd say go with that voice in your head and spend some cash. You won't be sorry. You can trust me.

I don't care about what everyone else says, this game is truly awesome. It's packed with tons of tricks and moves to pull off on Mat Hoffman's park. Play in career mode to earn 7 more coures. If those get boring (which they certainly won't) build your own dream park. I read a review, recently written by a guy who pulled off a combo of about 30,000 pts. Not to brag (although I am) I, within 2 weeks of playing the game, pulled a combo worth 40,380 points. This game has the same game engine as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater so aside from using bikes instead of boards, differents tracks, and different riders, it is basicly the same. Lookin' for a BMX game? No doubt this is the one you should buy.

If you loved Tony Hawk and Tony Hawk 2, you'll definately love this new incarnation from Activision, MATT HOFFMAN'S PRO BMX! Ever since the first Tony Hawk came out, I've been hooked to it ever since. This game is no different as you'll find yourself wanting to get higher and higher scores just like in Hawk, you'll just want to keep playing. CONSIDERING how delayed this game was, it was well worth the time. Honestly, the demo that came with THPS 2 was a piece of crap, but boy have they turned that dud into one major player! Still using the THPS 1 engine, it's much improved and honestly, I find the game much more enjoyable than the first Hawk and just as good as the second! It has a great soundtrack (FEAT. Pennywise, Bad Brains, etc..PRETTY GOOD), has the top bikers (Escammilla, Kowalski, McCoy, Nastazio, Robinson, Thorne, Tabron, and of course Hoffman), it has a great course editor, and DAMN, it's that DAMN FUN! Matt Hoffman will instanly make you a biker fan just like Hawk made me a skater fan. If you love these type of games, THIS IS A MUST BUY!! GO GET IT NOW!!

I gave this product one star because it was the lowest option. What I really give it is this: WARNING! The outback hitchback 4 product is a dangerous piece of junk. I installed it on my Suburban (which required the - needs to be redesigned - adaptor to 2 inch) and put one full-sized and three kid bikes on it. It swayed a range of 10-12 inches newly installed. My wife had went on the Target web site earlier and read that the sway was normal. By the time I had traveled 1/3 of the way back to the Bay Area from LakeTahoe (in the middle of the night) I noticed in the lights of the car behind me the hub of the full sized bike wheel sticking out from the side of the vehicle. I pulled over in the dark and checked it out. Due to the constant side-to-side motion of the winding mountain roads the main metal braket had bent and the sway had increased to a now dangerous 2 feet! Needless to say the rest of the four hour trip was nerve racking. Roping the rack to try and stabilize it. I'm taking the rack back to Target!

I was very afraid to purchase this rack reading some of the reviews, but I did anyway and I love it. Very sturdy rack, as long as you follow the instructions to the T. Now I have a two inch hitch--I don't know if that means anything or not. But I would recommend this rack to anyone.

After reading all these reviews, I was not going to get this bike rack, but did anyways. And I'm very impressed, if you follow all of the directions to the T, you will have no problems. This bike rack is very sturdy I could stand on it and not be afraid of it breaking. In spite of what the others say about wobble it does not for me. Now I have a 2" hitch and had to use the adapter. For the price you can't beat it.
