Why bmx is stupid

Zach P-D. The arrogant cunts who think that they are fucking Garett Reynolds but when you ask them to do like a truck or a 3 whip they say "too tired" or "can't be arsed". Thanks for proving that you can't actually do that I love bmx, nothing is wrong with it, pro's and con's mixed together is what makes bmx so addictive.. Main thing i hate though is 1. Something on your bike breaking, having no money or no way on getting new parts and unable to ride 2. Something you have that's super amazing, for example , a profile mini hub, but no spokes that fit on the left flange cause it's smaller so you have to wait till you get spokes to lace it Also in correlation to parts conflicting, for example My odyssey evo II brakes are sick as fuck, but they rubbed on my bike powerblock tire cause of my short back end, i had no more than 1mm clearance from the tire tread all the way around the tire where the brakes sit, not i downgraded the size to a streetblock tire which doesn't inflate as much Especially high, i have more balls when im high.

It was filthy It was not human. Just thought I'd share that. I guess it's like any sport, but it's rare you see someone of that caliber mixing it up with the locals Think his name was Pete Zablotny. There are 24" BMX's. But you sure these kids were on them? There are BMX minis that also run a 20" wheel but a really compact frame and super skinny rims and rubber Horse dancing?

It always has been. A few spots in the alphabet and an extra letter. Bmx aka bicycle motocross is a manicured downhill track with jumps berms and such. When racing The idea is to go fast and make it to the bottom first.

This is the origin of skier-x. The weight of these bikes is a main design factor I will touch on that further down. DJ or Dirt jump is hitting a designed track or run with large jumps, wall rides, ect. This style of riding is more oriented towards the freestyle or trick aspect of the BMX scene. DJ bikes often have front suspension some bikes also have a rear suspension. Weight of the bikes also is different Carbon components on a BMX race bike this includes spokes and wheels.

High end Dirt Jump bikes however strength is much more of a factor so things like spokes and wheels may not be made from carbon fiber. This reliance on yourself to write your own rules and learn by your own will creates a stronger and more valuable version of yourself. Except you.

You write your own story in this one. Riding BMX and the creativity and independence that it provides can transfer over to other aspects of your life, allowing you to look at situations in a more creative way. As time goes by, BMXers end up seeing landscapes that would be a total lack of interest to the general public, as places for creativity.

Places to get them stoked. An overspill of creativity from BMX at work. While BMX can be a way to step away from these constraints entirely, as some BMXers have shown, you certainly can use BMX as a way to provide creative and independent moments for yourself, before stepping back in and crushing the responsibilities you owe to the world at large. The world can be a tough, hard to navigate, and sometimes downright unsafe place.

Similarly, your time on a BMX bike can reflect the nature of the world. Things can go wrong. Sometimes the bike, and the ground you are riding upon, can bite back. BMX is hard. You are constantly trying to learn; a new trick, a new jump. You can fall while this happens.

But because of the fun, the challenge, and the problem you know you can solve, you try again, with your teeth gritted a little tighter. BMX teaches you about your willingness to get back up and try again, making you more resilient, allowing you to consider your goal and adapt with more devotion and focus. You also learn that it was you who made the decision to try whatever it is. That you are willing to face the consequences, even if they are out of your control even if it is only for a split second.

Resilience is not only tricks learnt. It can be built in BMX through a constant building and maintaining of a spot, a set of trails for example. There are many things that can be stacked against you while doing this, but your ability to adapt to the surroundings and constant problems think thunderstorms, landings falling down, poor dirt — the list goes on , to stick it out and work around, past and forward, can build extreme mental fortitude.

BMX shows you problems you must solve in order to progress. But because of the resilience you have acquired from trying perhaps hundreds of times and then successfully solving the problems of the past; present and future problems are shown to be not entirely unsolvable. Getting up and trying again is a crucial part of BMX, just as it is in life.

You will be able to approach the problems you need to solve to become a better person and live a more meaningful life, with more tenacity. Almost a bonus reason, but certainly an important one in the modern age. Not time you have given to social media. You are free from the distractions of the outside world and get a chance to clear your head. At first glance, riding BMX might seem not as profound as some other endeavours that people pursue, but as the reasons above demonstrate, riding BMX is no less important.

BMX is an extremely effective tool at providing traits that build character and make you a better person. Sale Bikes. Flybikes Focalpoint BMX. A fair question. ET was OK on the front in a basket, and they did amazing jumps, so it must be ok………….

BMXs mature though like everyone else just look at Ian Morris. There are enough accidents and injury with the armour never mind without it! Great video chips, the guy has so much skill.
