Thanks Larry!
Not sure what you mean by 'trick' bikes though.
I used actual bikes for inspiration. Although I agree with you about the scale
- it's off, and I will try to improve that in the next versions.
The problem is that you can shrink the suspension mechanism etc only so much.
And I do wish LEGO made larger scale narrow tires/wheels.
I used the Cannondale Gemini 1000 as inspiration for the red bike.

The Dark Grey bike was inspired by a Banshee Scream:

Build well!
