How do I remove the Haro bmx f series 1 cable off the handlebar
i was riding the bowl at the local and some kid like 12 or 13 riding his bike saw me manual in and said “hey i can do that” and he somehow managed to get into the bowl and went up on his front wheel and bam lmao poor kid slammed face first into the ground i don’t think he’ll be riding bowls any time soon
Hey everybody I’m new to the channel, so basically I wanna buy a bmx and I live in Eastern Europe so there’s not that many options to buy. And I was thinking about purchasing it online, do you guys know a website with cheap shipping costs to eastern europe by any chance?
And also, I’m 5’11, which wheel size should I purchase?
can anyone with experience inform me on wether or not i can have good back posture with a bmx? i used to ride alot a couple years ago when my posture was terrible, but recently have had some back troubles, and now i avoid activities where i can't stand or sit up straight. i really loved bmx though, and was heartbroken when my cult crew bike was stolen. and now that i have the money am considering buying a new one, but can't really remember weather or not i was able to sit up straight comfortably. should i get a specific bike with big handlebars? settle for a cruiser? or just get a regular bike. thanks.
Whichever one it is called, I can’t find any videos on YouTube explaining how to do it properly. There’s like plenty of clips online of riders doing it and it looks stylish asf and cleaner than foot jamming to stop or slow down.
They throw the back tire out quickly so it slides to one slide but they do not have brakes on their bike when doing it. What’s the proper technique? I heard lifting the back wheel and throwing it to the side causes it but it just gives me a little bump when riding.
now on eclat centrics, big platform, interesting concept,but they feel slippery for me. don't know why, pins shape and size or slck surface
so in search for big platforms with knurling
need opinions on avilable options - cinema tilt, bsd safari, federal contact, eclat plaza or other recommendations
So basically when i started riding I started learning tricks opposite direction, I went pretty far(Basically a barspins, t-bog and some other tricks), but now i was fed up since I can't do tricks 180 or even 90 properly, I'm trying to start learning the tricks the way It's intended, but it's taking pretty long, so any tips to learning them quicker?
Hey guys and gals,
I received my first bmx yesterday and I love riding it. Did some research on purchasing my first bmx (im 6 ft 1) and ended up with a 21 inch top tube.
Im just wondering if im to tall for the bike? I have a mtb background so perhaps its just me not being used to a bmx.
First bunny hops in the video 😁
I’ve been biking for a couple years now and I’ve here had this problem and thought Maybe sumbody else has just today I got brand new forks and a stem and the stem would not go on and if you been riding long enough you may know ow the penny trick so I continued to put a single penny and the crease of the stem and it still was not wide enough so I went and got sum all purpose grease and threw sum on and was still having a problem so I took them to my local bmx shop and had asked them maybe they could figure it out and I also asked if they where the right size I usually buy my parts from there, but they didn’t have any and stuff and they told me it was the correct size for the 10 fork they gave it a try and still couldn’t get the stem on the fork so at this point I’m ready to take a hammer and sledge to this thing and I try to see if I could put one more penny is there before I lose my mind and it slips right on and I’m sitting here like thank god but here my problem with everything nice and snug and tight as could be this stem want to move away from the fork so I’m slowly losing my mind about this bike could anyone help me out
I’m very new to bmx, about a week and a half to 2 weeks. I learned how to hop bar on my 4th or 5th day of riding and was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to stop throwing my bars with 2 hands and either bus it or just throw it. Also threw in the 2nd clip cuz it was my first feeble ever. Any tips on the bars would be appreciated.
I don't know what exactly the issue could be but my chain is CONSTANTLY becoming loose like to the point I can push it against the tire so I have to pull the tire back constantly but is there anything I could do to prevent this issue or something? The chain is a cult halflink I believe I got it like 3 weeks ago and I've been riding daily about 3 miles just incase it could just be it breaking in still
This is my first bike and since I’ve had it new it’s been a pain in the ass to keep the chain tight. Seems like every ride or 2 I’m adjusting the rear wheel and tightening chain. My wheel wobbles a lot when it spins, is it unbalanced and how would I fix it? Just put a new intertube in btw.
Rode the first time with shin and knee pads. The plan was to learn hop crankflips but i got barspins instead lol😅
I think its still a bit early for me to really learn barspins but I'll throw some down throughout the rides. Maybe it will get me somewhere..:)
I want to get a bmx bike but the decent bikes cost quite a lot and ive heard that its better for beginners to get a second hand bike. The bike is 180€, im pretty sure its a custom and the seller listed these parts:
Blank frame, blank seat, trebol and salt rookie wheels, fresh bearings, cult chain, cult grips.
could yall let me know if thats a good deal or should i look for something else?
Thank you!!
You guys prefer flanged or flangless grips? And why?
I like Kenda tires. All of my old/mid school bikes gotta have them for some reason 🤷♂️ I’m restoring a 2001 GT Interceptor and they look perfect for it. Pardon the bends in the rims 🥴this bike was pretty beat when I got it. Need seat and stem to make it complete.
