low frames. Why do people hate on them so much? Anyone who can whip knows it's not easier to do it on a lower frame compared to a high one. it's all personal preference as to what you like. Yet almost everyone just straight up hates on them and says they're stupid or whatever idgi

Cause low frames are used more by park rats. This forum i basically street and trails. And some frames have the bb really low.

For park cred bro. In all seriousness though style and being able to ride whatever is in front of you is dead. It's all about how many tailwhips, back flips, and barspins you can do.

Chad Kerley line:
180 bar flat to fakie half cab bar to manual, bar in the manual to nose manual a long ledge to bar out, land in manual, to whip out
But as for low frames, they're park rat machines & look like scooters

now he has really progressed.. When he first went pro he was the exact same as chad only he wasnt as smooth because he had the punk rock thing going on. Now he is able to mix it up a bit.. but even now its just bars and whips in and out of stuff...

i don't get why kids ride pro's dicks like they know them...i'll never get it. I've been riding for 20 years and i can name maybe 10 riders from videos and contests i've been to.
then again, i'm the same way with motocross, i can name the top 20 in 450sx and nearly all the outdoor riders...i guess i don't like BMX that much...ha.

that's what it seems like. Instead of arguing what pro is better at what, go fucking ride your bike.

They have no real function at all, 95% of people who claim they help tailwhips can't whip, and they make a weaker frame.

how bout this one? he is very loose with everything though... the only guy i can come up with that rides like a robot would be mike spinner and then stevie churchill because of how hard the tricks he does are(3 whip flat) he cant really add that bit of flair in like he is able to on just a straight bar per seT-rider wrote:Doesnt look like a robot.

How the fuck can a genre of music make you not as stylish at riding bikes?

Punk is a style just as much as it is music.. i also didnt say he wasnt stylish i said he wasnt smooth. He went a lot bigger and was less tech.. You would have to be tripping on lsd to think the bone deth guys were smooth...
edit: Bone deth was an example. Anybody that does big drops and that type of shit is not gonna be as smooth as somebody that does more tech riding.

I'm basically a "park rat" if that's what you wanna call it and I grew up riding a fly Campillo that had a 8.2 stand over or something and that's just what I grew to like. I rode a frame with 7.5 stand over for a long time and I'm just used to the way it feels. on a higher standover it just feels crowded to me. but I don't get why I can't roll up into a park with a low frame without some cool trendy street d00d saying something about my frame. and I see it on the forum all the time people bashing other peoples personal preferences..

although now I'm riding a hyper mia with an 8.2 standover and a fat seat and it feels basically the same as 7.5
