Hello, u got bwck 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.
Edit : spelling
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.
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!
Hello all, looking for a good hybrid tire for a good mix of both, only other criteria is it needs to have a tan sidewall.
Today’s session was amazing. No effects, filmer, music or special editing necessary. Here’s to 8 months of pure passion and motivation for what I love.
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!
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?
Hello everyone I'm just wondering if there is any bmx events in the Bay area coming soon and if so where can I check?
about 1,5years of riding so far down💪
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.
The only fakie to fakie tailwhip I’ve ever done. Please excuse the correction hops😭
About why bmx isn’t appreciated as much as other wheel-oriented sports.
I get a rush seeing some of the homies try out (let alone confidently land) a trick. When I first started paying attention to my local scene of experienced riders, I was surprised to find out that other people don’t give a SHIT. It was honestly confusing to me.
My cousin out of Toledo, OH was sponsored at one time and was able to travel to the West coast (this was before I moved out here) and I assumed it was huge here but now he’s just chillin back in Ohio.
Maybe it’s only neglected like that here idk (Eugene/Portland Oregon) but if anybody could enlighten me, I’d love to hear your guyses opinions.
