I rode a flatland frame for street and park once that was under 4 lbs and chromoly.
Loosen bolts Put something between tire and frame that pushes the wheel out to make chain tight Crank down bolts Should be good
Probably stock
I hate HD filming. I usually won't even watch a part filmed with an HD camera or with slow mo and b roll. Looks awful
Maybe about 7 months since I really started was when I realized I could hold the manual pretty long. But you can always improve them.
Just going to chime in as a sneaker guy to everyone saying why don't you do better or why aren't there any companies supporting bmx. 1. Molds for shoes cost about 10,000 dollars to make a new shoe. Which is why you see the same trash vulcanized sole ... more »
I've always thought these rims looked cool. Sadly got g sports instead lol.
The problem I've always seen with these tricks is how clicked to make it count. Like a hop turn down or superman. A barspins a barspin you land it or you don't. Easier to judge in a game of bike.
Shorter cranks I rode 20.5 with 160mm and I never hit my knees
I've done hop turndowns for fun (obviously not super clicked) but its nothing id be stoked on filming or doing in a line.
Hop superman sounds like a really ugly trick.
Nike SB dunks. Or other old sbs. Riding shoes i have like 5 pairs of emericas stocked.
Fair enough man. I'll never buy a product with cult on it so I see where you're coming from.
I can see where you're coming from. However a lot of people don't realize that 90% of the riders who say they don't want to support any brand that doesn't support bmx only buy vans and rarely etnies. So dcs paying a bmx design team, riders, and the whole ... more »
Skavenger is clearly the best brand to come near the cringe industry that is bmx. Also the tunnel frame was made by FBM so there's a flaw in that logic.
I don't think so. Bmx is less popular now than in 2002-2009. I'd say the peak was the late 2000s. Every kid was wearing 6.0s and had a complete fit bike even if they just cruised on it. The early 2000s had video games and x games was huge. Thats why ... more »
I found a pair of orchids in my closet that I bought from Van Homan a while ago haha. I think the Vandever 2s. The low tops with the strap.
I don't know why fly doesn't reissue the terrain. They sold out quick when they did the limited sale. Better than anything they've put out in years.
Vans are kinda wack. Nothing id rock. Growing up skating in the early 2000s vans were considered the wack kohls brand. Es, Emerica, axion, DC, circa were all cool.
I had prototype trees laced to 7KAs they were probably my favorite hubs or one of. They went through learning hop 3s years ago. I only broke one spoke and that was because I kicked it on a footjam haha. They developed a wobble on the cassette usually. ... more »
