Good or Bad Idea?

i have three broken spokes...so would it be ok to go ahead and ride as long as i dont do any jumping? i rode it after i broke them and it didnt seem to hurt anything but just wanted you opinions

just make sure the rest are tight. I have raced/dirt jumped with 7 broken spokes before.

I wouldnt want to roll the dice on something like that. If your rim is already too far gone to true up then go ahead since you are going to be replacing it anyway. I believe that you will be saving money in the long run if you get the new spokes for it now. Just my opinion. Frank
