would a motorcross helmet with ece and dot certification be safe for bmx? the standards chart seems to be similar, but i have heard some people say otherwise

what is then the exact difference between cross-country and cross terrain and cyclocross? what was the Swamp Master by We the People really made for? 🤔

Whoa, that helmet is cool!!! I love the video but now I too want that helmet! Where can one buy it, who makes helmets like that? thanks for sharing this video.. I am new to BMX even though I did ride one as a kid.. But new to tracks and trails for BMX

Hahaha. I'm a 48-year old, and I just had my first race last Sunday. This video is very in line with my current situation. For me, I got into it mainly because my 1st grader did. She took too it like a fish to water, and it was frankly inspiring. Also, at 48, I was a prime age to experience the BMX craze in the 80s. There is a BIG nostalgia element for me. Last but not least, I weighed almost 400 pounds at this time last year, and I've lost about 160 pounds since Christmas -- I need something to get me out and off my butt. I'm back to "fat-letic" shape, and hope to get even more fit with activities like BMX. I know this is an old video, but thanks so much for making it!

The lack of brakes on modern bmx freestyle bikes has more to do with the fact that most bikes dont come with gyros and instead of spending the money to add a gyro to have brakes and be able to barspin/tailwhip, people just ride them brakeless.

That's why I as an adult switched to mountain bike riding with my kids and they love it 🤙... Riding in the dirt hitting jumps ... You are welcome to come ride with us if you're in the Fontana Riverside area

Now there are your wheelie bikes 27.5 and 29 inch wheels... Love the video

the crazy price of MTB's made me go back to BMX racing bikes.

JMC race bikes had very small triangles. That was such a light bike. I kinda liked my P. k. Ripper better.

Truly one of the best Bmx videos i have ever seen! this thing should be saved for generations you captured a great piece of history here, a few mistakes riding brakeless has been going for decades so it's far from being a FAD and it serves a few purposes: one it's cheaper and easier to maintain a bike without breaks and it makes for a much cleaner build that's also almost silent from things rattling around and two , it gives u a whole different feeling when riding street or skatepark for so many reasons that i guess u just have to try it for yourself to understand the biggest is you have to commit when you go for a trick because you don't have breaks lets just say it makes things a lot more exciting fast :) and the another mistake you made when showing different BMX bikes on sale and trying to figure out the differences, pegs are generally and aftermarket all none race bmxs can use pegs and it's a riders choice if to buy pegs and use them or not.. thats why its Called FREESTYLE also running breaks or not running them is a choice you make.. we dont leave that to the vender. you can put breaks and 90% of brakeless bikes most BMX frames have break mounts regardless if they are being sold with breaks . or as frame only. and most bmxers buy the parts they want and don't actually buy fully built bikes , maybe your first few bikes are fully built but very quickly you will progress to buying all the parts yourself when building and maintaining your ride . great video!

I remember old stock inverted stems mostly for Freestyle riding I always recommend 3 piece cranks over one piece cranks

You make very knowledgeable videos 💪👑

S&M BMX & Cult in USA

As a old school BMX rider started with skateboarding

Can you do a video about BMX sidehacks? thanks

Great comprehensive report on BMX! A+!!! I rode a Schwinn Predator in the 80s. I love BMX. thanks for the great content. Subbed!

Palms Park is in Palms West LA. Not Santa Monica.

The X20r was my first bike in 1984. Then, I got a Hutch Pro Racer frame and began assembling the baddest beast I'd ever seen. Actually, a kid in my neighborhood had a Skyway that was equal to mine, parts wise. Graphite mags and Flights were the cream dela cream 😁. Everything on my bike was Hutch, except the cranks.

I raced in the late 80s. I live in Louisville Kentucky, where the grand nationals used to be held. And for that weekend there was thousands of people attending the grand nationals. There was campers as far as the eye could see! That was a amazing time

I'm 59 years old and remember the old Corona downhill, Azusa, and other tracks from that era, BMX today isn't what I'd call BMX with these super smooth groomed tracks you can use road tires on, you would have crashed in the 1st corner with those tires back then, it's more like freestyle bike racing.

That Bad News Bears Jersey makes you a hero in my book.

Why tf would you show a POS walfart schwinn as the bike that started BMX! that is just shameful dude, At 65 I seem to be the dinosaur in the room and maybe the last guy to ride a stingray in a BMX race at Saddleback on the expert track, Hardy anyone was racing the expert track, in fact, they \gave me 2ed in a qualifier, so they could have more than 4 riders for the main, Scott Breithaupt The man that organized the event was in my race, ya I did not finish that well, but I landed farther down the drop-off than anyone else! After the race and almost everyone was gone home, I was still there flying down the dropoff and some guy wanted to video us going over him at the drop, I have always wondered what happened to that footage. My good friend Sean (Shades) Ewing, or SE as I know him. was helping Scott get out of his hole, taking him to events, enabling him to realize that he was still relevant and loved by the BMX community, Sean may have been the last person to see him sober before he passed. rip TGF of BMX Scott Breithaupt

I’m in my late 20s and used to race back in my when I was a kid. Great video, gives me the motivation to start back up again 👍

lol vert! never heard anyone call it transition lol glad you said vert lol

Great documentary, thanks for sharing! Makes me miss my BMX so much. I am 52 now, and had an '84 GT Mach 1 back in the day. Took a lot of begging to get, finally convinced all my family to throw in on one Christmas present. We were definitely poor, so the $350 for the bike was a LOT of money, I felt so lucky to get it. I never raced an actual track, but there was a dirt track that kids had made in the woods by the local small airplane airport. It had some great jumps and turns, and provided more thrills than most tracks in that, sometimes you would get chased off by airport security, and sometimes chased by dogs. But most of the time it was just awesome riding, and afterwards you could sit and chill in broken down abandoned airplanes like Piper Cubs, etc. My daughter has a 24" aluminum frame Schwinn BMX, that she no longer uses, so I am gonna restore it and start riding again. I only wish I could get my GT back from my younger brother in Mississippi, though doubtful he still has it, was a LONG time ago when I gave it to him.

Im 153 years old and I still pull hefty tailwhips and stoppies on my cast iron penny farthing in my double breasted wool coat and felt hat. I ain’t no foozler. Well, ta-ta everyone’s’ grandma. Gotta go, just got a telegram.

Where can i buy one at

Getting my kids into BMX has been daunting! My background is in water sports and skateboarding so I am exploring uncharted water. I’m so grateful you took the time to make such a well thought out video! Love your passion man! Thank you!

Sharing this right now, I remembered you. To a guy who is maintaining his local track.... 👌💫💯

Great story and even better message. I feel similarly while I am quickly approaching 45 years old.

I just found and am slowly rediscovering my love of 20’s a couple decades after becoming pedalless. And just discovered this video, good stuff.

Awesome video and history on BMX Thanks👍

Very well made. Its a plesure to watch. Ive done BMX racing back in the 90s and still own my old Redline BMX. Greets from Germany

Great video dude…This was very informative and great information about what to buy and not to. Thank you for all the info you give…

i had no idea this existed lol

I use to care about folks judging me. I think they get jealous seeing adults having fun and getting fit in the fresh air while they’re overweight overstressed stuck in traffic

Thanks for putting this video guide together. Seems like Radio actually sell complete bikes as well though.

I got into riding freestyle bikes when I was a kid in the 80's. I think I was 8 years old and had a huffy. I then eventually traded various stuff to other kids and got a redline. Then had a crap load of gt's, haro's, redlines, etc in the 90's. Last bmx flatland bike I had was a haro master. I had that bike from 1995 till 2012 when someone broke into my parents garage and stole it. I absolutely LOVED the way the old trick bikes looked like. I don't think there would be any chance in hell I'd have been riding these brand new trick bikes. They are all so bland and all of them basically look the same and are WAY too small to really ride. That said, I just bought a new 24 inch Haro Master. Gotta say, that old design looks WAY better than these new bikes.

All your videos are fantastic. Thanks 😊

They got rid of the brakes because the levers will break your fingers or cut you doing bar spins when catching the bars is why

Buy s&m . Also i had a powerlite mini in the the late 80s mini 20 inch bikes with skinny knobbies for kids been around for ever

Hell no! I rode from age 8 to 26, and now in my 40's and rebuilding my old skool bike to ride again! It's so therapeutic!

Well ,I am 57 and just put together a Torker bike with 20" wheels.I felt like a giraffe learning how to walk again riding it.I just want to do street Bmx ie....bunny hops jumps,occasional racing ....for now.I used to do mountain trail biking a lot.My question is,will my riding skills improve? I know I am really out of shape and not conditioned like I used to be.

‘Your brother’s nothing next to Bart Taylor.’ ‘He is too, and if you don’t take that back, I’m gonna punch your lights out!’ That was filmed in my neck of the woods, Cochrane Alberta and helltrack was my area of NW Calgary…the ORIGINAL helltrack was cowtown!!

I accidentally found pictures of trial BMXs, when I was scrolling site of local extreme sports store to get some replacement parts for my rusty WTP BMX. It was sure a little shock, when I figured out that there is no place for seatpost in such trial frameset. But yeah, it's so cool that even my local bike store provide them!

Brilliant video mate!

What bike was that after the kuwahara magician? If someone could let me know it'd be greatly appreciated

Can a dirt jumper, pump track, skatepark guy do it?

love it

I love the beginning of rad racing when you got to freestyle. Great documentary very well made. anyone reading this go get a bike and ride.
