I've never seen anyone look good on a 22", they might be fun to ride but they make your movements look clumsy imo

Ever since I saw skateboarders airing out of a half pipe as a kid it just seemed like the coolest thing ever to me. Launching yourself into the air in a controlled graceful manner - man, it can’t be beat. Anyways, I always rode street (not very well) ... more »

Skateboarding and soccer have low entry costs. Kids don’t ride bmx much because it’s expensive, so there’s not much demand for a bmx video game.
