Does An Expensive Bike Make You A Better rider? *$1500 BMX vs $369 BMX*

Modern day complete BMX bikes are at such a high quality at an affordable price and in this video we take a look at the bikes that are in stock at our family's bike shop and tell you the prices and the differences between them. We also test the quality of one of our cheaper BMX bikes by having Matty try to learn a trick on his expensive custom BMX and then immediately try to learn it on the cheap bike!

I bought my first ever BMX from you guys a couple years ago. It was a Fit complete for around $450 I think. Been slowly upgrading it but you guys motivated me to start riding bmx. Thanks for the bike and all the great videos!

I love what you guys do. My 3 boys wait for me too get off work so we can watch your videos together!!! I love how much my boys learn from you and you channel. keep doing what your doing man!!!

The modern cro mo three piece cranks that come as standard on most mid to high end completes are pretty damn good, back in the early 90s a crank set like we see today would have been considered a pro level item, and would have cost over £120.00

cool to see your shop doing so well, I haven't had a local bmx shop to go to in probably 10 years

I still ride my Fitbikeco COmplete Series one 2019 before the stuff happened. I am 50 :) Only thing i have done is added pegs and Cut bars down a little. Completes are Great to start out. :)

I always had hand me down parts and bikes. RARELY were things brand new. I had backflips, a 720, and tailwhips under my belt, all learned on a given bike. Everything rattled, but it never stopped me.

I paid upwards of $1100 for your custom Tall Order bike a couple months ago (video of the bike on my YouTube channel 👍😎). It does have LOTS of upgrades on it, but was OK with the price regardless because I wanted to support your store. Thank you for a great bike!!

My 2 boys are now riding with Daddy at the ages of 8 and 11 and they are progressing fast just as I did.I hope I can keep them into bmx because I love it!!!

I’ve never actually thought about visiting New Jersey other than to go to SC and hope you’re there so I could meet you. Would definitely be a meeting your hero moment.

Complete bikes are so good now a days. I went from a custom BMX bike to a complete Kink and I rode that thing into the ground for over two years. I'm still using the front tire, cranks, and handlebars after I bought some new stuff. The frame/rear wheel/forks are still sitting perfectly fine in my basement.

I had to sell my bmx and mtb a few years back, I’ve managed to get a full sus and a hardtail back in my ownership but really been struggling to save up for a bmx, I plan to get a bottom to mid range bmx, our local skatepark closed down 5-6 years ago so I’ll only be riding street or some dirt jumps but I need to get a bmx back

Giving away that bike will be really fun. I can't wait to hear how happy the recipient is to get it!

[jayraldfulloso]

I sell my bike during quarantine because we really need some money. Even though Im not riding anymore, Still love your videos guys. it always inspired me and gives me hope that one day I can own a bmx bike again.

[Mikesonbikes]

we had the same first mongoose BMX bikes! Mine had the red and blue logos

[jrvega]

I wish I had known I could’ve had you guys autograph my bike when I purchased it a couple of years back. I still have your shop sticker on there but now I really want the the autograph! I hope to meet both of you one day. Love your videos Scott and Matty!

Back in the 90s I bought ever piece separate from Albes. Don't think they even make any of that stuff now. S+M Dirt bike, ELF blast bars, Profile 3pc crank, Peregrine SP48s, oyddesy bear trap pedals and red Primo V Monster tires. It was like $1500 for all that, plus the seat and grips etc. Ah the good ole days

[dougsmith]

Love that shop. I was first there in 1986. :) and CJBMX ❤❤❤

I’m not sure if you chose Simone for the five away but I’m still gonna say this. Just a couple days ago I was riding my elite bmx bike and hit a pothole and I fractured my wrist in the process also my bmx the frame snapped 😞 i love going to the skatepark and making videos of me on my bike so I can figure out what I’m doing wrong and I can’t anymore so ye
