About Broke Donkey
Hey, I’m just a guy with too many hobbies, not enough money, and an unhealthy obsession with anything on two wheels. Whether it’s mountain biking, motocross, or anything else that sends me flying off a ramp and questioning my life choices midair—this is the ride I’ve signed up for.
Broke Donkey started as a half-baked attempt to be responsible with money, but let’s be honest—I’d rather spend my time riding, wrenching, or daydreaming about the next trail, not researching tax loopholes. So I gave up the finance blog idea and leaned into what actually makes me feel alive: dirt, grease, gear, and adventure.
What This Is
This is a place for the bike builds, the budget hacks that maybe worked, gear I probably didn’t need (but bought anyway), and all the good, bad, and busted moments along the way. If it involves handlebars and probably a hospital waiver, it’s fair game here.
Why “Broke Donkey”?
Because I’m broke, stubborn, and still out here chasing the fun—one busted fork seal at a time. I’m not sponsored, I don’t have the fanciest gear, and half the time I’m just piecing things together with zip ties and prayer—but I’m still riding, still stoked, and still showing up.
What to Expect
Updates on my bikes, builds, and breakdowns (mechanical and mental).
Random trail stories, airbag send sessions, and behind-the-scenes chaos.
Deals I find, hacks I try, and the occasional “don’t do what I did” post.
A real look at what it’s like to live life chasing thrills on a broke budget.
This site isn’t about being an expert—it’s about being obsessed. If you’re into mountain biking, dirt bikes, or just appreciate the grind of trying to do what you love without selling your kidneys to fund it… welcome to the herd.
Let’s ride.
