BMX IS DEAD! 

I’m 48 years old, living in the UK. Just bought myself a bmx. Haven’t ridden one since I was about 10 years old. Super stoked. Age is just a number fellas 👍

We can save bmx! Just go out and ride more 😊

Did a 20 mile BMX mission today and nothing but smiles, people treat you different on a BMX compared to a mountain bike

I just turned 38 and recently purchased BMX bikes for both my 9-year-old son and me. The plan is to ride together and enjoy some quality time outdoors. #BMXNOTDEAD 😀

We are keeping it alive bro! I still ride my 1980's PK Ripper every week. Lazy kids blasting around the streets on electric scooters that catch on fire are ones destroying everything.

I own a small company and that's how we like to get back to the community is we sponsor our local BMX jams. This year we're going to be giving a bike away.

well phu I'm doing my part, i've started on bmx at 35 y/o haha cheers!

It’s crazy to think almost 2 years ago I bought my first ever bmx bike at this shop and it was a cult gateway and bmx really changed my life back then I would just stay home play video games and wouldn’t go out at all but I remember getting my bmx and meeting new bmxers at the skate park out In la habra but all I can say is Bmx really changed my life I’m always outside day n night just riding wit friends. BMX FOR LIFE🤘

I found your videos about a month ago and I watch them just because of the good vibes. I don't even ride BMX, but I used to be a cyclist when I was younger and now I would call myself a bicycle enjoyer. Much love from an undisclosed location in Eastern Europe.

BMX is alive and well!! I’ve put on 1500 miles this year alone. But I will say I’ve been way more focused on my own riding than looking at other guys but that’s just because I can actually fix my ride and stay motivated thanks to y’all and your tech tips!!! Much love from Canada

My kids went to the BMX track for the first time last night. They were stoked. I’m keeping it alive as much as I can.

Lots of the YT channels have already died too. I wanted to buy this new monster video but can’t find it available yet but now getting back in I’m gonna do whatever I can to support, that’s why I’m here every video

BMX in the early 80s was glorious had to be there.

35 and just built my first bmx bike. Stoked to learn. I manage trek shop… I can say… as far as shops go… trek stores are a cancer for the industry… thankfully my store is privately owned so we have a lot of wiggle room. Today our trek rep came in and threw a fit that mine and the mechanic had our bmx bikes on the sales floor. Side rant… the internet has killed a lot of culture

Dejé el bmx por 3 años y ahora me doy cuenta que no solo pasó en mi ciudad, si no en todos lados ha disminuido el consumo de bmx, pero vendrán nuevas generaciones, todo estará bien

Riding bikes mid 90s to early 2000s was the highlight of my life. Spending weekends in the city with names like Taubin, sammon, delrosa, grimaldo, wormz, etc etc... riding the Animal warehouse .. going to FBM jams... shady Demos .. filming with Scerbo backflipping up Rutgers College 6 set just to get the crew motivated to have a jam session, riding the park with Cranmer, cruising asbury park at 3am with Dom Biro and the Rodeo Peanut crew, chilling with Tunney... then BAM, scene goes underground and NOW, is just an OD biggest Trick thing. Wish the old days would make a comeback. Even if they do not... i still have my awesome memories. And some of the greatest days of my life.

I currently build and restore old school and new school bikes because I love BMX. I hope there’s a lot more BMX lovers out there that’ll show love to the sport. I watch you all’s videos religiously to show love! Keep ‘em coming guy! BMX lives on!!😎

We are being priced out of the sport. The last bike I built cost $850 before I started. When the dust settled, I added another $1,500 to the tally. Although I love that bike, every time I look at it, all I see is a car. Loved Scotty Cranmer calling out the tricks live. What a banger. I support, but the money is starting t9 be spent on other hobbies.

I've been trying to ride more consistently, its kinda lonely when you have friends that are not into bmx, but just the other day i was riding street and some random guy walked past and said "yo thats sick, i repect that" best feeling ever, because i thought i sucked 😂

I don't see BMX bikes anymore. I see E bikes and electric scooters. Kids have no muscle mass or endurance these days. I have to think you have a very old viewers base. Lots of nostalgia watchers cruising RU-vid looking for old memories. I know I have. Every now and then I get the bug to restore my BMX bike, old Elf frame/fork with lots of GT parts. Missing GT chain (ones with the holes in them), bad hubs, bad pedals, missing crank bolts (Peregrine). I honestly should just sell off what parts aren't junk. Wonder how much I could get for an 88' Elf XL frame and fork? BMX must be regional now. TX, it's dead. (or too hot? lol)

Man I was starting to think it was in my area, but after this new park closer to me opened I've met so many riders. I have never seen so many bikes in one place. I'm usually riding with a bunch of skaters by myself.

I appreciate all the great content! Love what you guys represent

Speaking of events, do you (Epic BMX) hold an event? If not, maybe you should, do something every few months or annually to not only promote the shop but BMX as a whole

I'm 53 years old, I have 2 1984 Schwinn Predator bikes ( a "P2200" I need to restore, and a "Team Alloy" that is 85% all original), and a 1999 Schwinn "Pro-Stock 3" 24 inch cruiser. I use to subscribe to BMX Plus! back in the day, was a fan of the monthly "Radical Rick" episodes. I raced back in the 80's, and tried again in my 30's (Cruiser class), when my son showed a short lived interest in the sport. I still ride my bikes, I get a lot of strange looks, and I get asked frequently about being "too old" for the bike. I still enjoy riding my BMX bikes, even though it's just a casual cruise. Great content, I enjoy your channel. Keep up the good work, and have a good one.

I started bmx again at my 41...Bmx wont never die...New school riders flying to the moon these days...

48 and just bought another BMX, rode 20 or so miles to a friend's place

BMX has never been dead and I have been riding for 42 years. Good times!

I had a Vhs subscription to Props. And man, when I got that vhs in the mail it was the coolest feeling. Those days will never be relived.

I used to ride every day for more than 5 years then i blew my knee. I had 2 surgery, and just bought a bike but it doesn’t feel the same. Now its scares me. Be careful guys, have fun and always wear protection!

I'm nearly 50 and pedal a Sunday park ranger custom. Ride or die.

Bmx might be big in South Cali, but I think is faded very much in the 2012-19. The fall started with the closerure of the brooklin banks. And in other places the homeless crisis killed of the spots.

BMX can never die!

Downhill , general MTB and DJ has taken over here in Scotland. Not alot of kids ride BMX anymore there all on hardtail MTB or super expensive enduro/downhill rigs

Just dropped $1600 on an S&M tallboy custom last week. First new build from scratch in 22 years. Broke my wrist 2nd session. Accidental smith on unwaxed concrete. All my local shops are dead. Glad you are still killing it!

The Bmx trend always comes and goes…. But it’s not dead. Big bmx is huge now too

Im definitely a bmx head and gotta say I was dieing when he said "its off the roof"😂😂😂

I’m 43 and Just got myself a 22”. 20 years away from bmx and I have the dirt jump bug again. Let’s goooo🤙

I skate aggressive inline, we are active but also seemingly get zero recognition from mainstream culture. We do it for the love 🙏

I'm doing my part I'm 56 and still riding and buying.

nah man, your boy Phu be tweakin. BMX 4 life baby.

I remember watching a BMX demo at school. It was so cool to watch them do tailwhips and tricks.

I think I'm kind of Lucky cuz the Florida BMX scene always has something going on.

I still have every single ride bmx issue I've ever bought. I miss those.

A new bike shop opened in my town, went down there to support him, got a gyro so I could start learning bar tricks. A kid came in and got a new kink curb while I was there. Btw isn’t Woodward super expensive? I ride basically every night. Love learning transition

i'm 30 this year. just starting riding & learn how to do trick few weeks ago. for me BMX is a cool bike actually. hoping the scene keep going. go out and ride 😉

ride was my fave bmx magazine, a new one i like is called (silent) it has luvly pictures in it nice video lads , BMX will never die

“A hot dog at the end of the hallway.” 🤣🤣🤣

I bought some S&M forks off you Phu! Anytime I work on my bike I always review Alf M and Epic before I set out on anything. Ty bro for keeping the candle burning. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't know the first thing about working on my bike. A+ brother!

Nothing will ever be as cool as the 80s. The internet and video games killed BMX. When I was a kid I’d come home from school do home work real quick! Then ride till it was dark. Now kids sit in front of the phone and TV all night.

Any idea what bmx I should be looking for as I'm 46 and 210lb. My daughters given me an old Haro F3 and I'm seriously considering taken that out but not sure it will take my weight. Loving the videos and subscribed.

Hilarious timing with me finding this video. I've been a skater for as long as I can remember. I recently got the idea I should bike to work. I remember having Mongoose BMX bikes and the toy BMX finger bikes when I was in elementary, playing Dave Hoffman's games etc but I never considered myself a BMX kid. I do remember how much fun I had as a kid just tearing through our neighborhood though. So at the ripe age of 29, I bought a Stolen a couple weeks ago. And my mid 30s manager said "BMX IS DEAD" when I asked him if I had found a good deal on a used Aaron Ross Sunday, just a few days before I ultimately bought the Stolen. I don't think he realizes that the sport and technology exploded since he gave up and became one of those weird super-soldier tactibros. People like Ryan Williams have made those of us with an inner child, sort of peek in again to see what's happening. I'm glad I'm back in the game, I've been having so much fun the last couple weeks just reteaching myself how to properly bunny hop, and traverse the weird mapping of Texas cities. I don't think anybody on our robotics team has a cooler commute than me now haha. So no, its not dead. I remember when I was casually getting into skating, it was because pros were going nuts at the time. Then I got hardcore into it. Idk if that will happen to me with BMX but I've found my lifer bike and it feels so natural to be back on two wheels!

I need a bmx again.

i used to bmx back in high school but i just took out my bmx bike clean and grease the wheels and im about to go get new grips and forks and maybe some handlebars . ima startbriding back again.

subscribed to you. I used to ride a bmx all over growing up. That was how I got around before I had my license. I've definitely been thinking of grabbing another bike. Im only 27 Im still young!

You rock man. 48 here still bmx’n.

Miss my 1984 Haro Sport, 1985 Haro Master, 1991 Haro Sport. Wish I still had them.

I’m part of the problem; in the 80’s I loved BMX. I was excited when X Games came out but once I got my license I was done with watching or riding. Here I am in my late 40’s watching and riding( for health reasons, LOL) but I’m all in again.

i've been riding bmx bikes since i was 13 years old. im 20 now. i NEVER switched to another category. bmx forever!!

There was a magazine on the East Coast called Total BMX. I think it was dedicated to a single BMX organization like perhaps the WWBMXA (World Wide BMX Association).

Kids don't ride anymore because there is too much traffic. You basically have to go to a skatepark or spot to ride because casually riding around as transportation will get you hassled by the cops or hit by a car.

Phu must be hitting with Hunter to even thank of saying it's dead. It's just expensive as all get out to keep up an 80s bike with Era, correct parts in decent condition, and not repop parts.

Skateboards are wayyy more prevalent...and cheaper. I spent a lot on my built BMX.

I just bought the book, Transition: 40 Years of Beenleigh BMX Park for AUD$75 so I feel like I'm doing my part, Phu.

Crazy yall post this I just sold my bike last 2 weeks ago

I'll be 50 this year and it's not the same for me. but I do know that it's super popular. In fact, I build a new flatland bike. it's a Hoffman bikes big Daddy Kevin Jones model. I hope I can finish building it before the end of summer.

Lower BMX prices. As a EX bmx rider we get older and start having kids then we can’t afford parts even small things like seats. I’m a local rider outta San Diego CA and I remember forks almost cost the price of a bmx price.

I’m in my 50s and rode Bmx all the time as a kid. For some reason as an adult I would have a reoccurring dream of going to a bike shop and looking for Bmx but they never had anything in the store. I was just searching for my youth I guess. But just this winter I decided to start building a old school build just for the fun of it. It’s awesome and near done. If it can ever be. But the dreams have stopped and I am waiting on spring. I guess something was trying to tell me something.

Just rebuilt resprayed and refurbished a redline call it customized but yea I'll never stop grinding 🚲

Some one had to say it and I’m glad that epic bmx spoke 🔥🔥🔥

I started BMX racing in the mid-80s n mountain bike in the early 90s. Now I do both n I love them all!

There's a contest here in NYC at the legendary Mullally skate park

X games had some freaking sweet tricks this year. Btw thanks for the content.

BMX PLUS was my magazine … I just converted my Lectric Xp lite into a BMX bike so much fun besides the heavy hub motor lol😂

I just rebuilt 2 bikes not long ago and got a frame that needs built and a GT Dyno for sale. All was bought within a year times frame. Guess it depends on who you are but in general yes it's probably dead.... but I love them they bring joy and happy to look at the two rebuilds everyday.

I loved BMX Plus, I still have a few mags somewhere. I also have a stack of BMX VHS somewhere lol.

35 still riding a d I'm coming down to your shop soon I'm in SF so gotta drive down for parts for sure.

It's just different.. I remember local bike shops having contests when I was a kid and there would be tons of people. I wish I could find something like that now. All the local bike shops around me closed. The only bike shop that exists near me is about a 20 minute drive. Which is pretty close but the others were less than 5 mins away

Saw x games finals and got me hyped!

I wish I still had my old Diamondback Viper. Must have been a late 90's model. I aggressive inline skate too. I rode BMX and bladed hard from 01-09' and took a 10 plus year break. I bought blades recently some Razors Shifts - and a triple eight helmet - a must!!

I understand the OP wants everyone to support every aspect of Bmx. Reality is, as a 40 something year old rider, I too have my own business, family and other interests too. I'm not going to realistically tune into EVERY video, search a bunch of riders etc. Who has time for that? As a teenager, yes, but not as a grown adult. I own 3 Bmx bikes and get on them couple times a week. That in of itself is a blessing at my age. I know the OP is doing some low-ki plugging, but there's only so many bikes and parts one needs.

Me and my younger bro just got two bmx bikes gonna start mobbin around haha miss my younger child hood

just turned 37 riding bmx 20 year 4 year-old son love riding bmx is fun

Where is your shop located? I'm looking for a few things

I rode back in 2014 that’s 10years ago . I got out of it cause my bike was stolen at school . It’s DED . I remember the local skatepark was packed daily . Now it’s like an abandoned pool thingy not a person in sight

I am trying to get into BMX at 45 years old. I just need to know how to build it back.

47 here and still riding. Hi from France !

It's not dead , there are groups of people going for rides Monday Thursday and Saturday, they just ride the big bmxs .

I rode BMX in the late 90s (first new bike was a Specialized Fatboy Y frame, owned DK SOB, etc) and I honestly miss the days of just ripping a bunny hop off of a curb, jumping the grass in between peoples driveways, etc. it was the simple things I really enjoyed. We looked up to guys like Nate Wessell, Dave Mirra and Nyquist, Mat Hoffman, etc. honest question…is flatland still a thing? I remember it was smaller scale and all Scandinavians that were popular…tennis balls in the spokes and the whole nine yards 😂

I've done my part and built 2 customs this year .. you do mail order? I' want that subrosa X shadow rose seat (third down by the forks, with the red splatter on the nose)

im 5"10 will a 21TT Begin frame be a good fit?

BMX is NOT DEAD! it's evolving. I have been involved since 1982/83. 7 years ago I founded 308 BMX in Nebraska because the scene in the Mid West seems to have dropped off a bit. In Nebraska we currently have 3 tracks on the East side of the state and one of them is poorly ran so it doesn't get a lot of action or attention. We are in the process of fundraising for not only a USA BMX sanctioned track but also a 1 acre asphalt pump track. My hope is that North Platte Nebraska becomes a mecca for Mid West BMX and skateboarding! It's not dead, it just has to be marketed differently! I love your comments about the magazines and DVD/VHS. It's a new world and we as pioneers have to and MUST ADAPT! I am 52 now and I just built a 2006 SE 24" Floval Flyer to hopefully compete again with. I haven't raced competitively in 30 years. Alfredo, I subscribe to your page and really enjoy most of the content, keep up the great work and PEDDLE PEDDLE PEDDLE!!!!!!!

LOL…I’m just getting back into BMX/freestyle after 35 years! In fact, I’m looking for a nice OS GT Performer. How do I get in contact with you?

advice...where to find replica forklifter or patriot bars???

I would watch bmx shows like Props on fusion tv back in the day. I skateboarded alot but loved bmx as well. Even inline skating was alive back in the early 2000's. I miss them days man. Turning on Fusion TV or ESPN to watch X-Games, Maloof Money Cup, Dew Tour, etc.

My First cool bike growing up was a red line. I think my cousins was a cycle craft. Even though we move down to skateboarding and I rode the half-pipe and I was pretty good better and bikes I'm 41 now I found your Channel is the only bike or BMX it's the only one I watch. And crazy enough I don't even watch skateboarding I don't even skate anymore cuz I'm physically not able but my buddies been skating again and our other friend gave me a GT bicycle and I think about it was an awesome way to get around town as kid even if it your I'm from the bigger cities. My friend got back into skating because they built us a skatepark in Birmingham Alabama under the interstate that they finally fix and I've been saying that for years that's awesome so I think if they built some new BMX stuff and actually put some effort time whatever advertisement or just give some free bikes away the kids and show him how to do it. When's the last time you saw a kid to climb a tree? It's rare to see a kid riding a bicycle or where I can ride a wheelie put the effort in that everybody else for skating and we I mean it could be just as cool to have have a dirt track under there instead of that you know and my city me and my buddy was talking about doing something like that and make it where you can rent it out private because Lil Wayne he rents out every city if you can estate shop a place to stay in every city on tour there's got to be some out there that would do the same for bikes Flatland anyting my post is wrong I'm sorry

McGoo just said all this on Unclicked podcast last week. It cannot be denied. We're Rollerblades now.

I watch the Chanel for Phu. Need more content with Phu

🤣🤣agree👏👏 , would love a retro ride magazine here over in the uk 🇬🇧 would most certainly purchase it monthly. Anyone over in uk here agree ??

Look.. I grew up in the middle of nowhere on a farm.. i was the only bmx rider around for like an hour.. it’s always been dead for me

I just got my bmx last week and i have been going to the skatepark everyday!!
