Need some help identifying/deciding on this bike

Sold my bike end of last year with the intention buying used and building this year. Dude wants 80 for this fitbike, says it’s a 21 inch TT and thinks it’s CRMO. But doesn’t know. They all look the same. I forget if there’s a serial number on these I can have him look at?

My 9yr olds desire to progress and ride is the best

Basically what I said. My 9yr old is always wanting to ride and push himself. Currently he wants to learns flips so we can train them over box jumps. Bmx is dope but riding with your kids is even better.

Replacement parts

I got this bike and a Haro bike from a customer of mine, his kids out grew them, and I'm looking for decent part to replace them. I replace the inner tubes and tires myself. Pegs/handle bar grips/brakes are the what I'm trying to replace. Doing it myself so any advice would appreciated. I'm doing this for my 2 kids. Their a perfect age for these bikes. All their friends ride electric bikes but if I can customize it with their wants I figured they would ride them. I use to have a GT Dyno and a GT Performer. Dyno didn't last me 3 months before it was stolen. Sorry for the long post. I'll see my way out. Thanks in advance from a 80's kid

How to commit to big stairs drop

Hello, i got back into bmx, did some Racing before. I got my bunny hop back and im now starting to drop stairs, but i have issue fully commiting into fat stairs.

I was used to drop 8 to 10 stairs back in the day, now i seem to stall at 5 or 6 steps.

Any advice to help with going in? I'm getting a new helmet soon and i have shin/knee pads and elbow pads.

I can't seem to teach myself to bail

I am trying to learn manuals, I've ridden on and off for 5 years, I can jump down 7 stairs and bunny hop and drop in.
I am now finally building up the courage to do manuals, last night I built up the courage to fully let go of my bike and jump off it while riding.

Now I want to do it while practising manuals but my feet keep getting caught on the pedals.

X-up throwing barspins still! Need help!

I’ve come a long way with my barspins. I can now throw them both ways pretty comfortably. Definitely not always first try but the confidence is there. My problem and habit I cannot break is that I kind of do an “x-up” as I’m throwing them which makes my catching hand too late to go back under to catch when the bars come back around. I see a lot of people have this problem when first learning barspins as well. So my question is how did you guys break that habit and how did you get your catching hand to go under instead of over in order to catch in air? How did you break the x-up curse!?!? Thank you!

Top tube length question

I recently got a custom bmx online and the bike is amazing but I’m wondering if the top tube length is too long for my height (TT 20.8, Height 5’6) Ive been bmxing for a while so have decent bike control but only just started learning tricks like getting my hops higher and things like barspins and foot jam tailwhips. Should i look into getting a smaller frame? Thanks!

What do you do when someone falls on the skatepark

I was riding the other day when a kid fell really hard from his bike, i usually just asked them if they’re okay and pretty much that’s it. But this time the kid was actually in pain and couldn’t breath for some seconds. I only told him to try to breath but i didn’t know what else to do, then an adult came and started asked him to move his fingers and legs, then asked him to say some things.

I want to know can i do or say if someone has a crash and im the only person close, what should i check and how?

A very niche question about music in bmx

Alright, so in the era of mid-new school bmx where OSS was poppin' and so was TCU.

Someone used Who Da Neighbors by Juicy J as a bmx video part song. (Think right around the time of Come Together by Mutiny, who used Get Higher).

Someone in our group chat asked who used it - who was it? I think it was an outro song but people in bmx seem to remember this shit. So who was it? Someone drop the link.
