Same here. My boy is nearly 10 (not the tallest but not tiny either (long legs)) and is still throwing around a 16. He's just about strong enough now to really manhandle it. We talked about an 18 a few days ago and he's not bothered just yet. (he's 8

Edited my original reply - turns out I ordered them late last year not earlier this year

I ordered a bunch of his stickers late last year and still have these, which I have no plans for. Happy to send them out to you if you want them.

Added reply in a thread Can I Isolate the "Hop" Part of a Bunny Hop for Practice? 9/11/2020 1:34 AM

Oh yeah, something I forgot to mention (that I wish I'd discovered waaay sooner) is to 'pre-load' the pull-up part. By that I mean; before you pull up, push down hard into the ground through the front forks. Much of that force shoved into the front tyre ... more »

Nice vids, man. For more height try pulling the bars all the way up to your hips, back straight, leap and push the bars forward (like you're already doing), dip your toes and scoop your feet back and bring them up under your arse when you leave the ground.

Added reply in a thread Bmx freestyle size for 9 yearsold 8/27/2020 9:51 AM

Hi Sinem. For his age and size a 20" may be on the heavy side for attempting tricks. My 7 year old (120cm) rides a 16" and has progressed very well with it because it's light and he can manoeuvre it easily. I'd say either a 16" or 18" could be good to ... more »

Added reply in a thread What is better: Haro boulevard or kink gap 8/24/2020 10:52 AM

Haro do make some decent bikes. However, the Boulevard isn't one of them. I ride a Haro and love it, but I'm an old geezer who remembers them from way back when they ruled

So it pains me to say: the Kink is the better of the two.

Haha. Oh it definitely crossed my mind but I was so angry the best thing for everyone was to just keep shtum and write her off as a muppet. Glad my wife wasn't with us. It would have royally kicked off. 🙄

It's a sad state of affairs. Hopefully leading by example will eventually break the assumptions/stigma around being an active, present dad in the modern era. Respect to all the bmx dads! 👊🏻

It certainly looks like a Mini Burner though this is the first time I've seen one without the Burner/Mini Burner specific decal designs. There appear to be others out there with the 'bmx 16' decals but I can't work out what separates this model from ... more »

Added reply in a thread 16" bmx for 9yr old 7/12/2020 1:08 AM

From experience a 16 or 18 (depending on his size) could be a pretty solid move. I started my 6yr old on a 16" last year, the idea being that he begins with the advantage of being able to manhandle the thing the way we do with our 20s and I think it

After 3+ weeks of constant sunshine I figured I'd put my summer tyres on. After that I watched it absolutely piss down outside for the rest of the day.

Added reply in a thread How far do you regularly ride your 20? 1/25/2020 9:56 AM

I ride about 5 miles to work and back up to 5 days a week (except when it rains) and do about 4 miles around the city on my lunch break looking for new shit to do. Running 25/9. Seat stays low, never use it. Can be hard on my knees sometimes.
