Brake install question

https://preview.redd.it/cta1itjfrq4e1.png?width=666&format=png&auto=webp&s=7ae8a6502762dd5ef50e109322a6113cfafbd1cd

Im installing brakes on a second hand bmx (sunday primer) and noticed that the part, into which the end of the housing should go, is missing. Seems to be removed from the frame. How can i install the brakes without it?

Thx alot

Decent frame

I’m looking for a decent frame. 21”+ top tube. Where are the best deals at? I see SourceBMX has a Kink for $180. Is that a decent brand?

Why am I sleep walking? Since it started I've gotten injured and nearly killed myself and others. How come it happens even when I'm awake already? I never know when it is gonna happen.

In just a years time while seeming awake to myself I've fallen to sleep and didn't realize I fell asleep till I reawoke to find I would be now outside in the back yard or in the street by my neighbor falling ontto a marble table really injuring my hon and falling into a night table hurting hip badly, stabbing foot dropping a knife from caring all my silverware and the worst was waking up driving my car nearly into stopped traffic light after sitting down the road waiting for another light to turn green' what's wrong with me. When I'm asleep with my husband he says I talk all night or scream so he mostly sleeps on the couch now.

If this is Reddit’s “official site of BMX”, why are there so many freestyle squids here?…

Bmx is racing, always has been since the very beginning, Bob Haro’s first freestyle demo was during a Saturday night after the races were over until the next morning. This was 1980 at the ABA Gnarler Nationals in Anaheim, California that was at the Anaheim Convention Center right across the street from Disneyland. I was there at the very start of freestyle even tho it wasn’t my thing. Ever since, freestylers have been trying to legitimize their type of riding on the backs of racers. Freestyle is not done on a race bike, racing is not done on a freestyle bike. It’s not freestyle BMX because there no BMX done in freestyle(no, it’s not freestyle BMX, it’s just freestyle), 99% of freestyle isn’t even done on dirt and USABMX even has its own freestyle tour…so just stay in your lane…(I knew that squids thing would grab ya🤣)..ok let’s hear it, all you cryin’ ass freestylers tell me how I’m so wrong and that I don’t know what I’m talking about yet I started racing in 1977 and was at the very first freestyle demo with Bob Haro, RL Osborne and “Jumpin” Jim Pratt..(who jumped 5 pickup trucks that night)….

22" top tube help

Hey yall. I'm trying to find a trails/pumptrack bike with a 22" top tube or longer. Every time I google i keep getting 22" bmx but the actual 22" wheel bmx stuff. I want a 20" bmx for someone who is 6' 4" to ride trails and pump tracks. Any help would be great! I just want a bmx for a tall guy that's not a race bike per se. Thanks yall

Backflip into snow?

I want to learn how to backflip my BMX. Wear I live is currently getting a lot of soft snow, I already built a pretty good size jump that’s about2-3 feet tall, and I was wondering, is it a good idea to take the jump and pile a ton of snow at the landing so when I fail I won’t hurt my self. Is this a good idea?

below freezing means empty parks.

Yea I enjoy riding with the homies, but damn..sometimes just riding alone, with all the focus on yourself, is just magic. Just learned all that new stuff.

Also what would you even call the last one? I was going for a backlash/ fakie manny on the bank but decided to try a 180 out of the manny.

Tbh I am pretty happy with my clips today:) Riding for ~1 1/2 years now!

Also got to say I was pretty hot while riding.:D

Update on 12 year shed find

So after posting on here Ive ordered a full evo 2 kit, stem bolts and frame steatpost bolt.

Scrubbed 12 years of cobwebs off, pumped up the tires, rubbed the chain, regreased the headset and front hub. I don't seem to have an Allen key that fits the Profiles (imperial size?) and I didn't want to mess with the cassette until I need to get to the brakes.

Quick spin and pretty funny it comes back so quickly.. muscle memory I guess
