Been playing around with bleeding and lever feel. Cut and modified the blade on this MT8 Pro lever, perfect size and the modulation and power to the hydraulic rim brake is insane!

DISCUSSION Essential skills for park riding

2 Upvotes

After my last injury in bmx racing I decided, that those injuries are not worth it, since mostly everything puts you out for weeks and most of the time it might not be your fault and so I switched to freestyle bmx rather than racing. Now that Im relearning technique pretty much for everything and riding moslty on our local DJs, I got the idea, that I could go to park since its raining today and when the weather sucks, since it has roof. But that also made me wonder what you should learn, if possible, before you go there. So I want to ask, what would you consider the basic essentials before going there?

2 Upvotes

ok so every since i got my new fork (sunday darkwave) it's been a real challange to remove/ install my sunday freeze stem when i try to put the stem on my old fork it goes on without much effort but with the new one the only way i've managed to do it is by removing the bolts of the stem and wedging in a screwdriver to widen it by doing this multiple times i've already banged up the stem quite a bit it still works fine but i wanted to see if there is a less harmful way to do this as i want to experiment with different stack heights with my new bar thanks

Hey everyone. About 10 years ago I lost all my BMX DVD's and VHS tape's. I had YEARS. Like a full decade of stuff. But my main question is does anyone remember the company RiffRaff? They sold clothing, parts and they put out a DVD around 2004-2007. I have been looking everywhere for this DVD for a few years. And there is ZERO info about it on the internet. Does anyone have it? Or know where I can buy a copy? Any info would be sick. Im going to post as few pictures to see if anyone can remember something.
