That was very informative. Thanks! I'm one of those newbies who thought freecoasters made fakies easier. Myth busted! I do love the idea of coasting silently.
It's definitely a cool concept but it's really not recommended to get a coaster right off the bat because it can make learning basic stuff very hard. I probably never would have learned 360s and other spin tricks if I had a coaster as soon as I started riding. So yeah, if you really want a coaster, you can spend the money on a Z Coaster, buy a reliable coaster laced to another rim so that you still have your cassette wheel ready and available if you need it (That's what I did.), or you can just take your chain off whenever you have the desire to go backwards. Those are good ways to get the coasting experience without fully committing to it. -Will
I have wanted a Freecoaster when Stolen made their Freecoaster. Lol I used to roll around without a chain just for the fun of it. This was about 5 years ago now lol I think I have a vid riding without a chain lol Karl Poynter is my favorite.
So I just bought a we the people reason which came with a free coaster hub. In my 38 years of existence I have never rode one before and didn't even know they were a thing until I started getting back into bmx. Needless to say they take some getting used to. I have a habit of back pedaling slightly more then I ever knew I did. Must of back peddled and then went to pedal hard forward and my moment took me over the bars onto my elbow. It was a learning experience lol and havent done it since.
First time on a freecoaster on my new bike... face planted on the asphalt because of the slack... :D But after realizing I have to be cautious at first now I am getting pretty comfortable with the coaster and actually really like it
i just bought BSD's westcoaster because the guy from returns department in Source told me that many Ody's clutch coasters break because of those weak plastic parts while not a single Westcoaster was returned... except for one that was never greased since the owner was a "complete dog shit". Just some info that some people might find useful/ interesting. And please note that westcoaster costs 40€ less so he wasn't just playing the marketing cards to sell something more expensive. Cheers
Our opinions on LZ have changed a lot since this video was uploaded. I'm not much of a fan anymore because of the vlogging and car videos and whatnot but 2013 LZ was pretty cool. I liked him when I was first getting into riding; when he lived in Connecticut. -Will
Well in the video a primo drive side guard was used, but they are god awful and rub on your chain and stuff, you can use the gsport uniguard and demolition possibly makes one. - Keith, boss, chief, slim, special k, coasting keith, the k man.
The only pawl based freecoaster that I have heard people had problems with is the éclat one other than that I have'nt heard much, but thanks a lot for the feed back!

Sam Levy Indeed, sir. That is why we made this video.

i feel so famous now :'>>
I got a brand new o e for sale I hate it lol
Good video
Figured I may as well leave this here: the bsd Westcoaster is great but doesn't kickflip very well at all due to the rubber bushing inside the hub

Where’s the g sport George vid mentioned here about the clutch? Couldn’t find it unfortunately
thank u for making me redicde my decisoont

Woohooo!!! 2006!
Good job

Can I put my drink on it?
What drive-side hub guard did you guys have with the demo rotator?
Well in the video a primo drive side guard was used, but they are god awful and rub on your chain and stuff, you can use the gsport uniguard and demolition possibly makes one. - Keith, boss, chief, slim, special k, coasting keith, the k man.
+Bethany BMX Alright, I got a Primo rn and yeah it does rub and it's irritating. So yeah. will look into that.
is this evaann????? hahahahaha
I guess the primo freemix doesn't exist in his town
Lol, what? It falls under the KHE internal category.
-Will
Ok....now I really don't know which one I need 😝
My fakies were much easier too complete when I bought my freecoaster... My opinion I think coasters make things much easier
Take a shot every time he says like
The best freecoaster out there is the odyssey clutch most definitely go look up the vids odyssey posted on their RUclips
Bangs knee of stem two times for better riding 1:45 lol :) cool video tho as helpful
I used to be an adventurer until I took an arrow to the knee
I love you
Éclat hub sucks. I have it

The only pawl based freecoaster that I have heard people had problems with is the éclat one other than that I have'nt heard much, but thanks a lot for the feed back!
I have heard of problems with Ezra and I have the salt plus ... still haven't gotten feedback about the vocal though lol ..
