Here in London my local shop is Better health bikes. They’re always friendly & happy to help even though they don’t specialise in BMX they have got a great understanding of my SUPERCROSS setup & always do a top job!. I gain advice & purchase parts from Crucial BMX shop in Bristol. They’re always super helpful & have a great shop to hang out in.
A shop doesn’t have to specialize in BMX to give you great advice and service. They are typically Bike Geeks just like us and love having great equipment to work on!
My local bike shop just got me one of your last pro XL frames you have in inventory. Just saying.....support your local bike shop. Help refresh inventory! PS: I should buy the other 4 frames. 😉
Great video! Great message…support your local bike shop! In Phoenix, Gordys Bicycles is the best bmx shop! They also provide track support on practice and race nights! From service to pads… they know bmx!
100% behind you on this Bill. My local bike shop Ashton BMX in Manchester England, we're central to our local riding scene from 1982 to the end of the 90s. We had sponsorship that was almost factory! We had national, euro and world champs come out of that little shop (Dylan Clayton!) When I started the Renegade BMX Crew, I made sure that our local shop (Dragon Racing, who supplied my Chromo 450Z) & Dirtworks (the UKs oldest track builder going established 1983) had big logos on our race shirts. These people kept bmx going in between fads and fashions, and are crucial to the sport 👊
S&S was my local bike shop growing up and where I got all of my race bikes and parts. Definitely need more shops like them. Plus, they brought their shop to Capital City BMX weekly if they weren’t at a national. Michelle and Ryan were awesome.
So jealous that they were your local shop! And that’s what a lot of these shops are doing now, Full Tilt has trailers at two local tracks as well as their shop and the National trailer. Riders does the same…
Favorite bike shop of all time was Round Trip Bike Shop in Casa Grande Az because as a kid I could just stare at the new cool BMX stuff they had on hand. As a kid I loved seeing a well run operation. Now a days I enjoy what the rider owned J&R Bicycles is doing with both retail location and a huge race setup for your trackside needs as well. Bauer Bikes, Gordys, Full Tilt the list goes on!
So I am going to start the conversation off - When I was a wee little tyke in the South Bay - I had a few shops I would frequent, Dad's Bike Barn was my main shop, and then Baron's Bike shop. When we moved to Orange County, A-1 Bikes in Westminster, and Valley View Cycles ... What is your favorite local shops???
Loved BMX Unlimited in Calgary ,Canada during the early/mid 80's .With the decline in bmx ,they changed direction to survive (can't blame them). Still think about that shop to this day,a young kids' dream spot for bmx candy .
Shops need customers to survive, it is our job as customers to spread the word to make sure that the shop can survive! A great shop is a huge asset to the BMX community!
I loved McDowells as a kid in Lake Jackson (Tx) and they also owned the local track. Then rode with the Mountain Bike Depot crew in Oceanside (Ca) for years, Frank was a huge role model. ORP in Houston these days is the premier racing shop and they are great people. The problem is it can be a 2 hour (more with traffic) round trip from a lot of places around the city. Definitely room for another BMX centric shop in H-town. Maybe in 20 years when I retire?

Rad! Those bmx dream shops from when we were young! Those are always great memories! Glad there are shops still keeping it alive today!

That is awesome! And ORP is a great shop! Bummed they are so far from you! But sounds like you know what is up and look for the great shops!!
As a local bike mechanic. I support the statement of bringing us burritos!
Always bring your mechanic Burritos!
We haven't had a brick and mortar shop in my city in I don't know how long. I wish we did.
Man, hate hearing that…. We got to get you a shop in your town..
@SupercrossBMX I would love that! We had about 3 back in the 80's. Never could afford any of the bikes back then, but used to love to go look at them.
@@BackyardBMX73 Yes, we need more Bike Shops - And Bike Shops need you!
@@SupercrossBMX. yes indeed!
