Am i too heavy/fat for BMX riding?

Fuck it and huck it off a loading dock , if your frame doesnt crumple it's all good



If so hit up Jenny Craig

I'm 5'8 and 180lbs. I started riding flatland kinda hard because of my weight and was about to stop then I saw someone who was way fatter than me doing some sick tricks.

I'm 6'2 tall and weigh 215, how old are you? The more you ride the more muscle. 5'9 170 isn't really big at all. Robbie morales rides for cult and he's like 6' 275

21 and thanks

Im 5'10" and 220 and i do alright. I know morgan wade is about the same

youre fine man, I knew a kid who was your height and well over 200 and rode.

What about Eric Mesta from Daily Grind, he's a solid 250

in 1999 i had a friend that weighed 220 and rode a dyno. as long as your having fun and you like to ride it doesnot matter.

I'm 6'6 265

I'm 6'2 and around 195ish so you're fine haha

You're fine dude. Haha i have a decent amount of muscle and weigh about that and am about that height and i ride. If you feel your riding isn't how it should be, work out. It helps.

I'm in the same boat, just more cushion for those tumbles we have!

ask tim

Shit. I'm like 5'9" 200 lbs.

Its entirely possible that your friends go bigger than you cause you suck, and they dont. Keep riding and don't worry about who's better than you and who isn't.

6'1" 295#'s I race 2 days a week every week.

Do it.

You're fine dude. I am like 5'8, 130 pounds but that's because I am a skinny little scumbag. Some people just learn things differently and faster than others. I can hop up this one 4 stair, no problem but I never have really grasped the whole pushing out thing during a hop. I always just pulled and hucked. Just practice and you will get high hops and better tricks.

hit the gym up and turn the fat into muscle

GO TO THE GYM! and done being in shape is good not only for bmx but social life too

Don't let your weight define you man, do what you love to do, and If you really think its a problem start dieting and working out more.

YOU GUYS ARE FUCKING RAILS! I WISH I HAD PEGS ON MY BIKE RIGHT NOW!

5ft.5", 265

5-5 with shoes, 140 a bit chubby

your are not too heavy to ride, I'm 5'3 and 165

I am 6 feet tall and was 250 LBS the other day in a t shirt and shorts with pocket stuff (wallet, keys, phone etc).

You weigh what I did in high school. Ride more and that "flab" will melt off. ALSO, eat better. When you aren't riding, don't sit around eating garbage food.

Healthy food + Exercise = less flab.

Keep it up and burn that flab off man!

I wish I could ride more, but my responsibilities have kicked up, being married with a kid on the way, and a wife with Hyperemesis Gravardium, so ride time is usually a 20 minute parking lot session here or there and the occasional park session.

ok im 6'4 275 what kinda bike should i get thats for me but i do some tricks i only have 200$

sorry but 200 bucks isnt going to get you anything, especially that something that wont break in half the first time you ride it. But for 200 you can get a decent Frame atleast. the Haro Zebra is 159 and they are pretty solid as lond as you dont mind the paint scuffing easily.

the haro zebra is not in any way a decent frame
the zebra is the same as a full chromo frame off of a complete bike

I'm 510 and 175 , hitting the weights never hurts , I ride allot so that's where most of my muscle comes from , I'm mostly muscle besides a beer belly , amplitude is about knowing how to pump transition
