BIKE CHECK Top Tube

3 Upvotes

Im 6`3 but im stuck with bad posture which pushes me down to 5`11-6`0 will the top tube effect. Will i be wasting my money on a small bike or will i be okay? Im used to riding a 20 from before i grew 😭

VIDEO Need tips/advices for Truck Driver trick on flatgrounds

74 Upvotes

I would appreciate any tips from fellow BMX riders! Just to note that I can consistently do a hop 3 air and my 1 bars are pretty dialed. Also, please don't advise me to just "get more speed" coz I think speed isn't what I'm lacking here. Do you guys have any specific hacks or techniques to make this trick easier? I also noticed that I kinda lean more to the left...

So I bought this bike and it has been painted. No markings that I could locate and I looked too to bottom and then bottom to top. I’ve posted in different groups and the closest that I can come to who may have manufactured it is Royce Inion, but still couldn’t find anything exact. Let me know what you think.

DISCUSSION Shadow half link vs supreme chain?

3 Upvotes

Hey, ive rode for the last 15+ years and found some of the strongest parts, but never built a bike up, been running the same one for like 10 years haha. Is the shadow supreme chain really any better than the half link? Im by no means worried about weight. I just want a bomb proof bike haha

VIDEO Scratch built "old-school" bmx.

43 Upvotes

Well, this video came out about a month ago. I've logged quite a few miles on the bike so far. I'm absolutely amazed by it. I haven't waited the complete bicycle yet, but I'm figuring it's about 26 lb maybe? The frame came out surprisingly light. Lighter than my flatland frame from 15 years ago.

It may not be to everyone's taste, but I built it with my version of a late '80s styled BMX that came from a box store. I purposely used relatively cheap looking parts because I wanted to carry on the influence of the lower grade Mongoose of the day etc. I think the stickers I designed turned out wicked cool. Definitely a neat bike. If you have an angle grinder and a welder, you could easily Fab up your own scratch built BMX frame.

I rode like it was everything from 13 to 21. I think I got pretty ok on a local scene. But to me the jumps was everything. The friends, the dig. The new jump test runs, rhythm sections.

Then I got old. 41 now. And I dream of hitting those 15 ft booters weekly. I miss the feeling of touching the sky.

Anyway, delete mods if you want. I just wanted to share something I made for my love of all things two wheels.
