bmx riders are coolest, most talented, and do the most dangerous shit

BMX is dead because it's impossible to ride in baggy jeans and only boomers wear skinny jeans nowadays.

I don’t see adults ride BMX just teens. I don’t want parents thinking I’m a creep for participating in a children’s sport.

bmx riders are inherently creeps (look at adam22 for example).

learn to skate instead (inline or board, either works)

>>203903
I’m tall and heavy, not fat just heavy from my height and the board is hard to balance

6’5 210 pounds

>>203994
that's pretty hefty dude
185~ would be one thing but 210 even at 6'5 is pretty generous

if this dude can skate I promise you that you can

Wtf I was not expecting to see that, maybe it’s my tall lanky body that makes the trucks bend easily.

Finally a bmx thread where have you fuckers been all my life

I wanna get into BMX but I somehow feel like I'll look gayer than if I was even rollerblading

>>203997
you probably bought shit trucks or your body is too stiff.

Who is the most stylish skateboarder and why is it Jim Greco? Also what video parts is everyone watching???

>>204586
They are venture trucks. I tried tightening them only to realize they won’t get tighter.

I'm 30 and starting to get into it. I think it's cooler than skating. It's also easier and better on the body in my opinion. Plus I like being able to really get around on my bike. On a board everything is slower and so much effort.

>On a board everything is slower and so much effort.
nah, actually riding bmx for any distance is so uncomfortable, unless you're a manlet. Nothing beats cruising from spot to spot on a board, and it's much easier to hop on a metro/bus/uber with one if you're tired.

Right because tiny hard wheels over bitumen/coarse concrete and cracks is so much quicker and easier than actual fucking tyres. and pushing a board along is so much easier than pedalling. And going slightly uphill is just easier on a board than pedalling on a bike. And standing for the entire ride instead of having the option to sit is so much nicer. Have you ever been outside? You've never skated or ridden.

>going slightly uphill is just easier on a board than pedalling on a bike
you pick the board up and walk with it. cycling uphill on bmx is not easy, you'll just end up pushing it.

>having the option to sit
as I said, unless you're an absolute manlet or riding some 1980s bmx this is not a realistic option

This nigga so fat he can't ride a bike up a hill. Grim bro.

Hope Alex Hiam is recovering well after his crash at SS24

I got into bmx after having watched the olympics race, looks kinda fun ngl

I want to get into it, but I'm also trying to lock in on my skating

>>207298
The speed:effort ratio is by far in favor of my bmx, I can get somewhere much quicker with less effort on my bike instead of my board. I dont need to watch for pebbles or cracks, and I can roll over almost any terrain. Its a much more relaxing experience for me.

This should be the gold standard for BMX.

Too many kooks like chad kerley just making bmx look embarrassing, what a fucking disgusting human

Cool guy chad kerley doing what he loves to do

I can't do tricks on a BMX but I went on a downhill ride and it was fucking exhilarating. Heart pumping, adrenaline fueled excitement. Bumps on the sidewalk, turning and avoiding obstacles. Reminded me of those POV youtube videos of those guys on trails riding their dirtbikes. Gotta say I prefer skateboarding but man that was a treat.

When I was in high school in the early 00s, some kid brought a VHS (still a thing at the time) tape compilation of BMX to study hall class. It was the most boring thing ever but as soon as we left this other kid said “that was so gay” and all the other kids around that heard it laughed their asses off.
