Just a general BMX thread.
Discuss BMX bike parts tricks etc.
I am interested to see how many people ride bmx and unicycles.
I stopped BMXing last year, after 13 years.
I used to. Pretty much stopped riding now, due to lack of time. Unicycling has taken over and is much easier to get good at.
I have been riding for about 3 months or less however I have only started taking it seriously for a few weeks after i got a new bike , a Colony Endeavour 
I can’t find any pic’s of my BMX when I had it. I had a full custom 2-Hip Pork, it was a tank.
thats my old bike till I sold it for my new bike which il take a photo of now
I still have a bike in case I ever feel the urge to go and ride. Last time I rode I went over the handlebars and faceplanted the ground.

Yeah, I’m too lazy and ill-equipped to learn cool BMX tricks, but I can ride a pretty good wheelie now that I’ve been unicycling. 
Here’s the think I ride to work. I got it out of a dumpster, but by now, most of the parts have been swapped out except for the frame, pegs and the front sprocket. The rear sprocket that I have on now is smaller than the original, and the crank is also shorter so that I can go fast.
I can sit backwards on the handle bars and ride, and I like standing up on the back pegs with the seat in between my legs coasting no-hands.
I’ve even learned to stand on the rear pegs and pedal with one hand as the other one steers. That’s some good arm exercise
I love BMX, but I like cruisers. I just like to take them to the track and jump with them. Not into freestyle tricks really. Just like to dirt jump and go fast.
Well if you like BMX you should check out my buddy Mike’s latest video.
He did this edit for Defgrip and his sponsor Proper.
This kid is getting good, its so exciting to see a rider from my area making a name for himself in BMX. I can mention his name at any bmx shop in Boston or any of the popular ridding spots and someone knows him. Pretty cool.
I like BMX seat clamps. Especially the anodized ones that come in really cool colors. They make it easy for you to put a poppin’ color scheme together for your ride.
People might talk smack about them, but I love the simplicity of a single bolt clamp. Of course, I throw away the bolt and nut that comes with my Odyssey clamp and replace it with a high-strength steel alloy set… I find most manufacturers skimp on the hardware, leading to stripped or rusted threads before too long.
The single bolt clamp allows for quick and easy seat adjustments, and with a fine thread bolt, I never have problems with the bolt coming loose.
Some clamps come with flanges that keep the clamp from sliding down the frame, but it’s not an issue I think needs solving… if the flange is too wide, it can actually keep you from tightening the clamp as much as you’d like. I will have to admit, however, I’ve installed my seat clamps upside down before. Not a big deal, but the flange would’ve prevented that.
I’d go with a quick-release, if one were made that was strong enough, and had a lever that sat flush with the rest of the clamp. Why must all quick release clamps have a lever that begs to snag your pants, or your gloves, or whatever it can find? Maybe I need to design it myself.
Anyone else like BMX seat clamps?
I go for the quick release. That’s what I like on all my cycles. I have not had any problems with them holding, but the one on my uni could be of a lower profile.
You might notice that the one on my BMX is actually bent out, but it has not caused any problems.
Thats pretty sick! I never got why once people get in one action sport, they cant enjoy the others. Oh well, I like more then one. It amazes me on the BMX how strong you have to be. Skates are relatively light in comparison, just take more balance. Unicycle seems more balance/coordination.
I liked that video sam. His style reminds me a lot of Ruben Alcantra.
I have been riding my bmx a bit this spring. I can bunny hop about a foot high and manual a bit. I can also do 180s but can’t ride backwards out of them very well. I have gotten a lot more flats then I do with unicycling, which is probably because I am not very good and case edges and things.
thats a cool vid agent hes a freak on the bike!
lol just then before I went for a ride and on the way home i decided to go through the dirt jumps. Big mistake! I went down the half pipe next to it theres a step up which i managed to case my front wheel, ouch! I got sent barrel rolling .
I got a free bmx bike about 2-3 weeks ago. So far, i’ve practiced around 3 times, and I can bunnyhop-crankflip over a gap, grind (both pegs and pedal), get around 90 degrees when i try to 180, barspin on the back wheel when i’m standing on the pegs, and then just bunnyhop stuff. I am getting close to just doing a barspin on the back wheel, and hope to get a bunnyhop-barspin soon. Does anyone have any tips on barspins or 180s?
Also, does anyone have any ideas of other things to practice? Perhaps flatland stuff? Or anything else goes too.
Ah, oui
I wouldn’t mind one of these… Mmmm…
Maestro8, can you post a pic of your unicycle?, I’ve never seen you show it (or them)
Try wheel walking.
