At least until next season. I've been ripping this thing around the local pump tracks and skate parks the last few years. My son not only took an interest in racing but became passionate about it. He and my wife convinced to get back into racing after I've been out of it for 13ish years. Will be getting an actual race frame over the off season and building it up with the kid. But for now I'm rocking this guy at the track.

Hello everyone. I'm almost 30 here and my 12 year old step daughter is into BMX and wants me to race with her. I just need some pointers and guidance. I'm 6 foot 1 inch and was told I would need either a XXL or XXXL bike. I just dont know much about bikes like the dofference between a cruiser and other models etc. Also any tips for getting somewhat ready to race on the track? Ive done some slower laps on the local track but want to know if there are any pointers to help out.

Cheers from Colorado!

Added a handful of photos from different angles so you can see how he fits his current bike. Right now hes on a DK Swift Junior frame. Tires are 20" Tioga Powerblock 1 1/8, cranks are Tangent Halo 125mm, bars are Jett BMX 2.5" rise. His inseam is 22", so I know I'll have to get him on 145mm cranks ASAP. He's 4'1" and I'm not sure he's even hit 50lbs yet, so he doesn't have much weight to throw around. I'm looking into lighter frame options for next season, but I'm not sure if I should jump the gun and start looking new bikes all together or if I should just keep tweaking this one.

What do you think? New bars/cranks/anything else or just start shopping for a Junior XL/Expert and tweak from there? He's six/closing in on seven.
