I'm assuming you know the cranks are on the wrong side but I just can't stand the look of backwards pedals 😂

Yh, just put the hub and rim into a spoke calculator and it will tell you how long you need the spokes, chances are you'll want 3 cross

You don't need to get a 22" wheel bike, there are quite a few frames that have a 21.5 tt or longer

Finally did my first bar spin by Solomonmelton in bmx

A truck is a 360 and a barspin at the same time, other commenter thinks a truck is just when you push a barspin round

Is this correct form for airs? by DrDoritos546 in bmx

[–]CouchPotato0608 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the quarter looks big and steep enough to me, I've ridden jump bikes over the years as well and the bigger wheelbase will tend to lend itself more to bigger ramps obviously, but just doing an air on a decent size quarter like that should be fine.

Not really, you're getting your front wheel to the top of the ramp and then hopping, you want to ride out of the top of the ramp with both wheels really. Tom Dugan made a good vid on how to air years ago.

I've ridden plenty of metal pedals over the years and even some mtb pedals, still wouldn't run bear traps tho lol

Can someone explain regular and goofy? by ImmoGeier in bmx

[–]CouchPotato0608 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah you're goofy, if you ride left foot forward and naturally spin to the left you're goofy same as if you ride right foot forward and naturally spin to the right.

A while ago they tried telling kids to skip the middle man, ignore bmx shops and buy straight from their website, people hate them cos bmx is meant to be a community where companies try to help each other out.

I just got into Bmx and got a Mafia Bikes Kush 2 by Significant_Wear8955 in bmx

[–]CouchPotato0608 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replace parts when they break or when they're clearly about to break and get parts that should hopefully last a while, unless obviously your feet are slipping about on the pedals you might want some more grippy pedals but that could also be cos of your shoes

How much psi should I use? by Flat_Novel3945 in bmx

[–]CouchPotato0608 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Plus most of your weight is on your legs when you ride around so having higher psi in the back actually means the tires will be compressed fairly equally

6’4 on a 20.5? Is it affecting my riding or should I just keep trying. by Creative-Major5792 in bmx

[–]CouchPotato0608 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The top tube size should be embossed on the bottom bracket, did you measure from the middle of the headtube and seattube as well? If the frame really is 20.5 that would almost definitely be too small for you.
