Anybody ride Stranger parts?

That's what happens when you have no marketing. I like there stuff but it's not my first choice when it comes to buying.
Have highly considered getting a sprocket though. It's pretty sad when all they're known for is Adam LZ. That's not saying much, especially now days.

Well, they've named themselves Stranger, no?

Yeah I watched it. Another video he says "I shouldn't really make this video but has to be done" like every other video where he tries to explain himself or whining about something or making excuses. Not to mention he's always contradicting himself. It's funny how he has a backyard ramp now and produces even less BMX content then he did before. Which is opposite of what he said would happen when he started building it. He has left his BMX fanbase in the dust. The people who were responsible for his success. im just sick of hearing his excuses for not be able to put out BMX content. He just seems like egotistical narcissistic douche anymore, that does nothing for the sport.

Lol I watched part of it. The whole thing seems to be him not wanting to admit that he would rather be into cars and girls than ride BMX bikes.
I mean look at the comments on his youtube video these days, theyre just from car guys who could give less of a shit about BMX and treat it as a joke. Eh, I dont wish him harm though, its his life and not mine. He should just do whatever the fuck he wants to do. If he never makes a BMX video again, the majority of BMX will probably just vaguely remember him.

That's an understatement lol

And go watch an edit from him say 3-4 years ago. He was a better rider than he is now...that's not saying much however

Yeah it is. He's basically a 14 year old girl.

They have cool stuff for sure , but a big portion of it is just having trendy colourways of catalog parts ..like oil slick and that "haze" colourway or whatever .

I think in LA and that , they're really popular but I literally see NO stranger or primo parts here in Canada . For example I'd buy a frame they have with 8mm dropouts , but because for example they fucked Adam LZ over for example why would I buy a frame from a shitty company when I can go to Sunday and get a similar if not better product that supports BMX better .

Eric Lichtenberger is good though. It seems like they only ever post pics and vids of him on insta, but he's very innovative.
It's just another brand to me though, I wouldn't be able to name anyone else that rides for them, or any part that stands out. Bmx is about image more than anything now, and they don't really have one

I ride the stranger crux double wall rim only cause it was cheap and its holding up great so far and i have had it for about a year now.

I hate stranger parts mainly because of their poor quality. I bought a seat and rode it for a couple months and the fabric cover actually peeled up and away from the base and just pulled right off. I've had many seat and not one has done this before. I'm also not a huge fan of their team or their image. Signing Lz really showed that they only really cared about the money as he did not fit in with all the other stranger riders. Augie is so good and I feel like as soon as he left and Adam was signed it all went to crap.
