I bought a mongoose from toys-r-us that lasted me 14 years. Nothing broke. I just got tired of it. I wouldn't do any stunts just bunny hop, ride off curves and some flatland, besides riding it for thousands of miles. I never changed anything on it. Phu is right, in my case because I didn't ride hardcore I didn't need chromoly. I was 190lbs, lean and strong too, so I wasn't a 120lb kid either. That bike was indestructible. Black and yellow mongoose boiler, year 2000. Weighed about 35lbs

I would go with 100% chromoly frame bars and fork even for a beginner since if they won't stick with it, a chromoly parts would have better resale value than hiten.

A 40 yrs old guy here just get my first bmx.. ready to start the sport ..

[KLAW.kompany]

I'd love to go round that shop picking parts to build my ideal bmx

Im a 33yr old mountain biker and just bought my first ever BMX three days ago for £300. It’s a full chrome Federal Lacey. No brakes. Pivot seat. Lots of Stranger and BSD components. Bought my own Odyssey Aitken tyres though. People really should research and properly scour the 2nd hand markets

[HypeMike]

100% agree with this. When I got into MTB I brought a $3.5K Santa Cruz and didn’t end up sticking with it.

Mad respect you could lie your ass off and up sell but you keep it real and tell it how it is love these videos thanks alf and vu for doing what you do!!👊

I got a BMX bike that i paid $200 and very similar to the first bike but for an adult. Some people I came cross calling junk and saying it would never survive a good jump. Which I replied I'm not going to be doing any type of jumping besides the occasional curb. I got a bike that fit my needs and been an excellent bike.

Also I appreciate your honesty

If I just started out and had a Subrosa, I'd be pretty stoked for sure!

[Itsuki]

I personally have never started BMX but am planning to I just want to point out that alot of people talk about price differences like 200-300 dollar differences as if its normal but for people like me who know almost nothing about the sport it seems like a major investment

I have a Subrosa! It is a Tiro 2016 model but I bought it second-hand in 2017 from someone who only used it for walks on the beach. After buying a rear brake kit from it, I am very happy with how well it works. After a couple of years of not riding I have decided to go big and have upgraded some parts. The one that makes me most excited is an Odyssey F25 chrome fork with front brakes. I'm looking forward to trying it along with the other updates!!

[crackwhore]

I just bought the Subrosa after a 25 year break, a lot have changed since the Dyno Compe i rode back in the days. So far really happy with tiro.

I got a used wtp arcade 2019 and it's great, had no problems so far

[pauljames]

I didn’t get on a chromo frame and fork till I was 14 then I went away from complete bikes and started making custom Bmx’s with the parts I wanted 👍🙌🚲💨

[bronzerpgs]

I found a 2021 kink gap xl and a pawn shop for 200 bucks really good condition I just picked it up and putting some aftermarket parts on it

[keamtx]

Wants vs needs…bmx you need a bike to start out but want the cromo pivotal sealed deal over time. It’s like a car, not everyone starts off in a sheepey audi or lambo but I bet they all know how a civic drives. Another A1 Phu session 🍻

[WTLYD]

That’s what I did. I started with a beginner 24” SE So Cal Flyer to see if I would dig the Bikelife thing and so I did ride it for a while. Then later I took it up a notch and went all out and got a 29” Dblocks Big Ripper

[JohnReynolds]

Phu is da man! All the way from Puerto Rico!

[TeeJaySkates]

I have a Haro frame, and I’m buying Sunday tires, cult tubes, and Sunday grips. It’s my first BMX I got it for 175 on Kijiji.

Just stumbled upon Epic and these vids, really rad! I love how you educate the riders and it really shows you know and care. If I was gonna buy a new BMX, I'd make the trip from Santa Monica to Westminster for sho!
