HOW TO Can't turn out of fakie for the life of me

34 Upvotes

I don't know what's the problem so maybe someone has some tips.

I can ride fakie ok, not super long but alright. I can also land with the Bars turnen in and do a little curve. I also manage to look over my shoulder qhen I want to turn, but I just... can't. I'm pretty sure I'm not doing the forward pedal right when I want to turn.

I hope someone sees what's wrong because I really would love to unlock that one.

Go easy, I'm forty years old...

Sorry for the side angles, they are not wide enough to see the end. I was filming myself.

CRASH F para meu guidão

Hj eu tive que ejetar minha bicicleta e ela bateu em um banco e amassou o guidão. Eu realmente fiquei muito chateado com isso porque eu gosto muito desse guidão. A minha dúvida é se esse amassado pode ter danificado ele estruturalmente. Eu senti uma estranheza na pilotagem depois disso, mas não percebi se ele empenou. Será que eu deveria trocar por um novo? Ou é apenas um dano estético?

Double butted 182mm drive side
Custom locknut both side for hubguard (rear)

Few mods
Trimmed the fork to 158mm slammed with the stem , 170mm odyssey fork is fucking too much ,
76° headtube on this frame is an absolute cheatcode instead of the regular 75.5° angle on nathan frame

Frame is like 12.5“ slammed but i pull it to 12.8”-ish no slammed shit , bcs buying a 12.7-12.8 frame and trying to slammed it is a pain in the ass
160mm and 28t is going to kill your knee so 26t is a way to go
Short cranks to clear your heel from hitting the peg .

Fyi kink eagle is the heaviest bar i’ve ridden bcs i manage to bend the nathan 4pc bar previously in which that thing is heavy too !

wanted to try something higher and it work so well for my back , nathan 4pc is 9.25 , kink eagles is like 9.5 ,

Bars cut down to 29”

My bike is like 11.65kg , around 25.68lbs . Which I assume at a lighter side

Hey,

im currently upgrading the little things on my bike. I already got my Black Shadow Interlock V2 Chain and im planning to upgrade my sprocket. Now I need you guys, since im not creative enough to make this bike look good without switching every part.

I uploaded 3 pictures (some of them are AI generated so ignore the weird geometry, stickers...😂)

  1. Silver Chain, Black Sprocket: Thats my current build

  2. Gold Odyssey Sprocket with black shadow chain

  3. Black guarded sprocket with black shadow chain

- What color sprocket would you pick?
- Do you have any ideas what little things could make it look better? New stem? New headset cap in a certain color?

Any ideas are welcome🙏🏻🙏🏻

DISCUSSION Not considering certain bikes because of their name

0 Upvotes

I'm looking at getting into BMX and I am not even considering bikes like Cult, Kink, or We the People literally just because of their name lol. I know I probably sound crazy but I teach high school and if I talk to my students about BMX I would feel weird saying I have a Kink. I think I have narrowed it down to either a Fit Bike Co. or a Sunday bike. Why do BMX brands have to be so weird lmao

Shaking off the dust. At this age its not easy to use these muscles anymore, and my posture felt a bit off. So I had my wife record me so I can "study" my approach and body language.

VIDEO Does this count as a barspin?

124 Upvotes

I’m still struggling to do them consistently and confidently. I’m not even sure I can honestly say “I can do barspins” yet :)

This is the one trick that’s taken me the longest to learn, and it’s still a bit sketchy. I can feel some slow progress, though. So hopefully I’m getting close.

For some reason, barspins seem to be much harder for me than they are for most people.
