BMX Bicycles

Work on getting x-ups prefect first, then try it.

Start to twist the bars, but also at the same time, push your hips towards the back of the bike. Then, straighten your legs out as quickly as possible, and push the bars so they are next to your hip.

It will take a while, but keep at it.

yeh its okay for beginers nd intermidiates

sunday bikes are better

Muddy Fox is decent if you're looking for something inexpensive. They have a range from low end to mid range, but nothing really high end. Silver Fox is their very inexpensive stuff. You might want to stay away from that stuff if you really want to ride off road.

If the edge of the rim is dented, which usually happens because of too low tyre pressure, you can sometimes bend it back with an adjustable wrench. Anything more serious is not repairable because the wheel will never be straight enough. If they're just a little bent they can be brough back to straight by adjusting the spoke tension. If the rim is badly bent the spokes has to be slackened and the rim straightened by brute force first, by clamping the straight part against a sturdy work bench and then forcing the overhang down. Then as the rim is reasonably true in a relaxed state the rest can be corrected for by the spoke tension. Do note that some claim that the method above would cause unacceptable weakening of the rim which would make further riding inadvisable. Opinions differ though, the "don't bend" people haven't been able to show any catastrophic failures, but those who do bend have been able to show wheels that continue to provide good service. Unfortunately "not having failed yet" isn't a guarantee for "not failing later". www.sheldonbrown.com and www.parktool.com has good info on wheel trueing.

Haro bikes are very expensive. Just the bike frame by itself can range from $170 to $300. An entire Haro bike can cost as much as $1050.

neither they are just different bike companies one isn't better then the other and anyone who said that one was bette, is just saying that because they have a kink or a wtp and they like to hate on stuff they don't have.

I race bmx and a fully suited rider wears motocross style jerseys, leathers, gloves, full face helmet, and closed toed shoes/

you could throw that thing off the roof and it wouldn't break.

My 12yr old wanted a Framed FX1 bike. So I kind of reluctantly bought it for him. In the process of comparing other bikes it was about 1/2 the price of some of the other bikes we were comparing it to. So my thought process was how could it really compare....you know something is wrong here. He is about 95lbs. I recently went bike riding with him on a much more expensive 21 speed Specialized mountain bike and I was surprised to see that he was able to maintain about 15 to 20 MPH for about a 6 mile ride. I thought he would have problems keeping up with me due to the lack of gear options for up hill and down hill riding. My bike was clearly Faster than his on down hill riding. But up hill he had just as good if not better up hil acceleration as I did with much more technology in use. The Framed bike was only about $120.00. For the price I would definitely recommend it ( at this point). We almost bought a $350.00 Cult BMX bike. Which of course is much cooler looking and has a much more robust frame and other options. 5 other brands were in the play but I thought the cult was the coolest and we almost bought it that is why I mentioned it. Please keep in mind I am not a bike expert. But I do not see significant advantages that cause this bike to be more than 2x the cost. At this point he is enjoying this bike as much as he would be enjoying a more expensive bike. I will check back with you after he beats on this bike for a year to tell you if it holds up to his punishment. If it does this is a great buy! Over all for $120.00 I'm not sure how I can loose on this purchase....again we will see.

Yes, BMX racing will be a part of the 2012 London Olympics.

they began in 1970 by Mike Konle and Linn Kastan

its good for the price and the frame is strong but the brakes are weak

BMX means Bicycle Moto cross, with X used as a short for cross. It's called that because it started with people riding bicycles in a way that was similar to how motocross and dirtbikes were used.

same as normal the barings on 1st then u need the spacers to stop it rubbin the top of the frame

Very much depends on what kind of MTB you're looking for, and what you're ready to spend on it. A high-end XC(cross country) MTB can be around 20-22 lbs(less than 10 kg). For an FS DH MTB (full suspension downhill) around 35 lbs(15 kg) is more to be expected. Here is a bunch of mountain bike frames so you can see the difference in weight ratios....

Kink, is a really good bmx brand, isn't very expensive and very light, also Fitbikeco is really good, go to www.danscomp.com its like the best bmx website out there, theres lots of bike brands to look at too.

ye its really light not super light but its good for trick skate park

The RL340, while lighter than Redlines' low end BMX bikes, doesn't quite tiptoe past the scales like the Proline Series and the Flight Series bicycles.

But, the RL340 is an incredibly durable bike for the money.

The main black car used by the bad guys throughout the movie was a 1970's american Ford LTD. The crime boss's car was a light blue british Jaguar.

Depends entirely on why it's wobbling, but I'm guessing that the wheel has gone out of true. This can happen either b/c the spokes have gone slack, or b/c of the rim getting damaged in a hard landing or a crash of some kind.

Wheels that have gone out of true b/c of spokes going slack can be trued with good results, but rims that have gotten badly bent by an outside force will rarely become particularly useful again.

Trueing a wheel is something that can be done at home, but it takes time, patience and a bit of skill.

I'll post a link to a site with more info below.

Most BMX have sprockets with freewheels as one unit. This means that you need a special puller to grip notches on the freewheel to be able to unscrew the old one. The new one can be started by hand and will tighten down by itself as you pedal. If you have a low-end one with a built-in coaster brake other rules apply and you're probably looking at something with a lockring arrangement.
