Damn. It makes such a difference learning with experienced riders.

I love how he has no idea how crazy it was to be able to grind down that ledge within 5 days of buying a bike 😂😂

@sarmak87 3 жыл бұрын

Right?!?! Grinding a hubba is gnarly in the first week of riding.

@LittleBigKid707b 2 жыл бұрын

For sure. He has heart. It also doesn't hurt having a confidence booster and guidance from a pro like Nigel.

@bmxriderforlife1234 2 жыл бұрын

Depends how much bike control you have and if you rode a different discipline before hand. My buddy started on mtb and rode djs and the tiniest bit of bowl. Learned hand rails like 3rd day on bmx in the streets not even at a park. Dude could uprail within his first year. And our season is like 6 months at best.

I reentered the sport last year after 20 years gone. It’s very difficult, very frustrating, and in my particular scene because there’s nobody to ride with. It’s kind of lonely, but I keep doing it some thing about the bike just keeps me happy deep inside.

BMX is way more mentally stimulating than the gym; exploration is a massive part of street riding, as construction is to dirt jumping.

@Weman69420 9 ай бұрын

Feeble, double peg off the a frame, and that kinda foot plant were all really impressive for 5 days of riding. though, if it were something you were continuing id reccommend staying away from tricks, focusing on the bunny hop and just feeling the bike as it flows, it really builds the fundamental feeling for the bike.

Frame and I love the new parts but I mostly ride street now

@bmxriderforlife1234 3 жыл бұрын

Don't buy completes once you start progressing. Buy after market parts. Odyssey stuff and Sunday has life time warranties if you are tight on cash. Their frames cost a bit more but get something like a Sunday frame not all have the warranty but they're all strong. Soundwave or any wave frame has the warranty. Anything odyssey that says 41thermal same with Sunday.

We the people does make sick parts though same with eclat. Sunday and odyssey just have the best warranties.

I ride bikes. Bmx exactly. Imma guess its modern bike Geo with the big bars and short rear end. Get him at fourteen inch rear end and drop the bars a half inch and maybe even a slightly longer frame till he adjusts.
