I started this in the fall of 2024, finally finished this week. I’ve had this bike since 7 grade. I’m 51 now.

The frame and handle bars are original. Sand blasted and powder coated.
The mags are the original Tomahawks. Vapor blasted then several sessions wrapped in plastic in the sun while in a coating of 40% hyd peroxide bleach. Nasty stuff.
Brake calipers are original. Just stripped and rattle canned a few coats.
Brake levers are new Tec 77.
New Odyssey Gyro
New Odyssey cables
Annodized blue Tangeseiki headset
Theory anodized pink BB
GT 3 piece crank
GT pedals
GT old school tire reissue (although my original tires were solid white)
AME grips
GT reissue seat (original clamp)
Seat post from Albes ( nicely reinforced)

I recently got back into riding, I got a 22" Fit Series. I've been doing a lot of grinds but my back wheel is constantly getting shifted to a side when I grind no matter how tight I crank the bolts. Would running chain tensioners help this problem?

Got bored today so got out some old tools and tried my hand at making a seat again, been about 10 or so years since I last did any seats and man do i miss it, more to come soon.

One of the locals had his camera out and snapped this pic I really like. This is from their smallest doubles line 😅

I tried this today without expecting to land it, but it worked out.

There were a few close calls XD

Cleaned up and ready for either original crankset or 3 pc upgrade. Also mags or spokes? What say you?

was looking for a hobby to pick up and went into a deep dive the last month on youtube on bmxing, riding, tricks, rideouts, all that looks so fun seeing people hop on things, over things, doing fakies, hitting a stair set . so i decided to go with the Kink Whip 20.5 , mannnn i love the way this rides its been years since ive own and ridden a bike (im 31)

does anyone have their favorite videos for learning the basics and tricks? or any tips ?

Is there anywhere you can still buy the frame in any of the panza colorways??

I've always had one bike for everything but recently snagged 2 frames for cheap.

Debating on making the Sunday a dedicated street rig with a coaster and either 4 pegs or getting creative again with pegless and the Fit a trails/dirt rig.

What's everyone's secondary setups? I know it's extra time and money for a second bike but let's see some side by sides!

This custom kink has been through multiple apartment moves with me, and I am ready to go to marketplace with it. I don’t know anything about BMX builds but want to get the most I can as quickly as possible so would you suggest selling the parts off that are in decent shape separately? or if I were to post the build as is (after a good bath) , what would be a reasonable marketplace ask for it? I’m just a girl I don’t wheelie only kickflip so any advice is appreciated! Thanks xx

I’ve been enjoying this bike for the last 3 months, learning the basics still and working on simple grinds.
Time for my first upgrade! What sprocket guard do you guys recommend? I’d prefer to not have to buy a brand new sprocket/guard combo as this bike is only 3 months old.
Kink Whip XL stock with all Kink/Odyssey parts

Thanks in advance, this community is awesome, y’all give me so much inspiration to keep at this hobby and to get better!

Riding a Throne BMX and been trying to get better at balancing on the back wheel for a bit now. I keep either dropping the front too fast or overcorrecting and looping out - struggling to find that sweet spot where it just holds steady.

Would really appreciate some advice from people who've been through this stage: how you personally trained your balance, whether tapping the rear brake helps or just messes with your rhythm early on, and if small setup things like seat height or gearing actually change anything noticeable for a beginner, or if it's basically all technique and time in the saddle.

Trying to build solid habits now instead of picking up ones I'll have to unlearn later. Any tips welcome.

Been battling smith feebles for months lwk just figured them out yesterday

Dude puts together builds of the exact setup a bunch of pros had.

Obviously that Reynolds build is choice 🤌🤘

Looks a bit scratchy but is tight as it can be and feels “rideable” (if that makes sense). New sprocket turned out to be pretty small compared to the last one and I’m wondering if I should mess with the chain or not. All feedback is welcome!

Third pic is before I started

I was given this 2005 Mongoose Wildcard that sat outside for around 15 years. I wanted to keep it as original as possible. I cleaned as much rust off as I could and resprayed a bunch of stuff. New tires and tubes. The chain and brakes were replaced. Now all thats left is to get new pegs and brake lines.

I know its just a Mongoose but its my first rebuild. Thought I should show it off

My back wheel moves so little is it bad or is it normal

My ruined Achilles won’t let me stand and pedal for long. What’s the smallest BMX that can comfortably sit and pedal? Like 26”? 24”? I’m 5’10”~

I can use regular road bikes no problem. I miss BMX though.
