Added reply in a thread Stock cult forks bent. Looking to get Odyssey R25's. Opinions? 3/9/2020 5:04 PM

I mostly just hit ledges/rails.. some A -frames/banks and sub boxes. Once in a while I'll hit some flyout tricks off a quarter. Never really looking to get too high off the ground. My main concern is buying forks that are 26/25mm and end up wishing I ... more »

75°.. I'm assuming my current fork offset is 33/32mm. So would jumping down to 25 make a considerable difference or would I just end up wishing I went with the 15s?

I'm looking to have an easier feel for nose tricks and I'm just concerned if the R25s will not make much of a difference. Does just about 7 or 8 mm's shorter make much of a difference? Cause I'm assuming mine are about 33/32 right now

Bent forks. Looking to get either R25 or R15 forks for easier spins and nose manuals. Going from stock cult forks, not sure the offset size.. what should I expect if I jumped to R15? I'm curious cause I'm only 6 months into BMX, they're fairly expensive ... more »

Started BMX about 6 months ago. Achieving a lot of progress but was/still not very knowledgeable about a lot of things. I don't ride with anyone who's really good or even better than me, so I have no one to ask personally for advice. Anyway, long story ... more »

Started new thread Does taller rise handle bars such as 9.25" make pulling up easier? 1/16/2020 9:43 PM

I'm fairly new to BMX and the first bike I bought had 10" rise bars, I bent them and got 8.75" and my forearms been killing me. I can naturally jet hop really high so I can't really tell if it made it harder but it definitely made it feel weird. I'm ... more »

Started new thread Has anyone gone from 20.5 to a 20.25 top tube and does it really make that much of a difference? 12/4/2019 12:24 PM

I have two bikes. I started riding on a 20.5tt and got and got another bike for spare parts that is a 20.25 and about a half inch shorter chainstay. I decided to ride it the other day and noticed how much smaller it felt. Which made spins and manuals ... more »

Added reply in a thread Advice on 360's spinning toward front foot forward 11/22/2019 2:11 PM

Thanks for the advice. I'm trying them flat so I'll start trying them off something and see if that helps. My biggest problem is turning my head I've realized.

Started new thread Advice on 360's spinning toward front foot forward 11/21/2019 4:41 PM

I'm left foot forward, spin to my left. Only been riding for about 3 months but I can already 180 fakie pretty well. I can feeble 180. I'm making progress fast but I feel like spinning to my front foot is really slowing me down and making a lot of simple ... more »
