So correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure pros can keep the same number with them for as long as they want. But I only race crusier (precisely a dirt jumper), and want to keep my number as 609, and keep it that for good. This number is more to me than just a plate number, I'd rather not talk about it. But can I just keep that number forever? It was the first number I got when I started racing crusier, and it's the last 3 on my card number. Can my number just stay the same but still track my place in points?

Hi I’ve got an old 20inch for my son and I want to put some shorter cranks on it (current ones are 170mm. Can anyone help Id the type of crank that’s on there to help with my research into changing it out for something similar but shorter?

Hi, my 5 year old recently got really in to BMX racing. We’ve been to the track a couple of times and she’s been using a loaner that’s a micro with 20” wheels. I’m interested in building her a Micro BMX so she can practice at home and at a local pump track. Used market around me is basically non-existent with mini and micro sizes, unfortunately. I’ve built plenty of bikes before but this is the first time doing a BMX bike. What are reputable websites that I can find parts, specifically for Micro bikes? Extra points if I can find a pink or red frame.

Second question… I have a buddy that gave me a 2018 redline mini, it’s a good bike but it’s too big for my kid at the moment. How many parts could I canabalize off the mini to put on the micro frame? I’ve done it plenty of times on other bikes but never on BMX, much less a build this tiny. TIA

These pedals are probably too small. The inside of the shoe is almost touching the crank. He’s almost outgrown these shoes too, my kids are growing like crazy this winter. Do I want a pedal that’s bigger, but is it bad for the pedal to be wider than the shoe?

What is the current popular Al race rim? I am ~225lb old and slow. wanting to replace the wheels that came on my Haro Race Lite with something better & Go to a thru axle front end while I am at it. Getting a bonus mid Feb so trying to figure out what I wanted.. Getting lost in all of the choices --I am running disc brakes, thinking of using Profile hubs/Probably buy from Powers.

My son (7yo) wants to do some BMX racing this year after watching it at the olympics. He is a capable rider and regularly rider blue and green mountain bike trails. Although not a very confident jumper.

Do i start him on a mini or junior? He is 123cm (4 feet and a touch) tall.

Secondly can i just grab a old cruiser to ride is has geo changed that much since 2005? That would.matter to a begginer Im 187cm/ 6'1 would a regualar pro cruiser be ok or try and find somthing bigger. Im a confident Mountain biker, would it be better just to grab a 20" ProXXL?

If anybody from FL has a XXL can yall post, im trying to sell also my super cross XL, if any info just post a pic

I am buying a new bike for my son. He finished out the season on his mini (which he had definitely grown out of) and I'm not sure if I should get him a junior or expert. According to the sizing chart for the bike I'm looking at, he is at the top end of the sizing recommendation for the junior and an inch smaller than the expert. He's 9 and not going to stop growing any time soon.

Is there a downside to having the bike be a bit too big initially or is it better to be smaller?

What nationals, if any, is everyone racing this year? I’m planning on the mt Rushmore National, land o lakes national, badger state national and Grands.

Hello everyone, this is my first post.

I have bought the vision F1 supercross bike for my daughter. But the idler arm, the one that came with the frame, just seems to loose with every single stroke. And she's training all week.

I want to know if this happens to other people, and if there is a solution for the issue?

Thanks in advance, frame wasn't cheap 😢

I’ve been hearing conflicting advice on if I should go down a tooth for the early season indoor nationals (Blue Ridge, Cajun, etc) or just ride my outdoor gear. I have never done one of these indoor nationals, I’ve only done nationals on existing outdoor tracks. Any insight?

UPDATE: Box is going to warranty the fork!!

I have two Redline Jr bikes that my boys ride. They came with Box One carbon forks. I was working on one of the bikes and noticed the stem was loose and slipped a little. I checked and it was tight.

I ended up taking it all apart and found the steerer is slipping in the crown.

This is an older fork/bike so there wouldn't be any warranty. There was a recall for this exact issue and these style of forks (same design, graphics etc.).

Im guessing my only option is to replace. And of course an equivalent part is more than what I paid for the bike lol.

Anyone have any ideas on what I can replace with? Jr sized 20" bike.

BTW my other sons bike is identical so I will want to replace his as well. My wife crashed a BMX bike she borrowed from the club because the crank arm was loose/fell off. This resulted in a traumatic knee injury, multiple surgeries and her not being able to do triathlons any more. So I am pretty freaked out about mechanical failures at this point!!!

Quick question, what goggles would you recommend? If it makes a difference, I’m running a Troy Lee D4 helmet. I’m looking at the Fly zone pro or something similar. Thanks in advance!

I am thinking about opening an indoor skate park in Hanover, Ont. I am looking for some information about how to get started, and if there are any skaters or BMX riders in my area that would like to join my team to make this happen.

quick background: used to race in my pre-teen years when ELF frames and spin rims were all the rage. now i’m almost 40 and we just bought my 5 year old a DK Sprinter Mini. I’m building a bike of my own so I can pedal around the track with him as he learns… hoping it’s something we can do together for at least the next few years. originally the idea was to just go with him on practice nights, but i’m now starting to entertain the idea of racing in the 37-40 novice class. I bought a Supercross SX450 (CroMo) in XXXL as I am 6’2, pushing 240lb. I’m trying to be somewhat “budget” minded, so basically nothing carbon except the Answer Dagger fork I found on FB marketplace. I’m on to cranks and having a really hard time deciding, and wanted y’alls opinions. Here’s what i’m looking at, all are 180mm and 2-piece/24mm spindle:

SINZ Elite, $225, BB included (what i’m leaning towards)

Answer AccelerateR, $250, BB included

PROMAX HF-2, $225, will have to buy BB

Excess LSP, $195, will have to buy BB

Insight RLC, $170, will have to buy BB

I found a few others on an Italian BMX site, not sure how much confidence I have in ordering from them, plus the International shipping issue…

SD B-85, $210, no BB

Forward Joyride Pro, $157, no BB

ICE Element ICE Blade 2.0, $167, no BB

Let me know thoughts on these, or if I’m missing something! TIA!

Hi, I'm new to BMX and I bought this Glint for beginners, it comes with an American bottom and I would like to know if it's possible to put a MID on it to use cranks.

This is my first year full racing, I was using my last 3 of my member number last year. I have heard that 2025 numbers are 'made official' on/after Jan 15. I know where the points tracker is, and see my points from last year, but also see several 'expired' above me. Is there some type of an official release/announcement/publishing/etc of them being finalized for the year? Would like to get my plate and my daughters in order early vs my typical night before our first race mad rush to get it done.

Don't wanna to run a disc anymore and go back to v brake frame.

Do I ask the bike shop to dish the wheel? I see the wheel doesn't sit square in the middle of the frame when mounted

Edit: I should have clarified. I meant at the So-Cal national. Mine generally works at the local track.
