What’s your opinion on the geared BMX bikes that popped up in the Olympics recently? Twan Van Gendt used a 2-speed Shimano Zee derailleur-DXR crank- drivetrain, any thoughts on how useful or practical a geared setup would be in BMX racing these days?
Looking to get into racing. Gonna get a chase edge. I’m wondering what size any help would be appreciated. If I got a 20 in what determines what top tube length I should get?
Yea I’m the race world there’s a massive selection of gearing. 44/16 is the most average. Comes out to be about the same as a 25/9 on a 20”. Bigger chain rings in race bc it’s less stress on the chain since we sprint a lot more on them then a freestyle bike
Your to nice when you ride you need to be more mean to Jonathan like when he’s even on parts he doesn’t need to move over he still does just so he can make sure u don’t win so you should also do that
@@barrynobles95 I was racing expert in the 80s/90s. You guys seem to be pretty polite / considerate imho; I don't know if it is a function of everyone being clipped in. Looked like fair, aggressive racing to me. I just know back in the day we had elbows out and would stick a leg out in the berms to block other riders. It would get pretty rough out there...elbow to elbow. Riders would brake check you going into the berms. People would routinely get "pimped" or pushed up and off the berm.
why does this track look like it copies south park... haha jk. south park is the best track of all time... either lousiville, 2006 christams classic/presidents cup weekend in columbus or Akron.. i won 3 state champion chips at akron boi and every national main event both weekends every year we would get a nat at akron. the Huron OH Dome track was amazing before it collapsed. that was the closest track to me. ohio and just this area of the country had the best NBL tracks bar none. south park 06-10 dudes gettin life flighted everu other moto like old south park was GNARRRRRRRLY bro..... best track of all time . anyone remeber when elliot tried to jump the gate ? i think it was the first year of Random gate and he tried to hop it, crashed, got up still ogt 4th to transfer, Elliot was nasty
I was one of the guys that snapped a bike in half years ago lol. Did it again the next year!
WOW - IVE NEVER SEEN A POV BEFORE - MY HEARTS POUNDING HERE IN MY ARM CHAIR - THESE GUYS ARE MOVIN

People standing around the finish line: "sir, why are you riding so fast near my children!?"

Are you going to Vegas
Hey con you chose the chain fing and sprocket relation ? Or is standard ? What is the typical relation used in bmx race ? I use 25-9 in my street mtb.

@@barrynobles95 thanks for the info.
Do you ever try changing gearing at the race? If you can just beat him to first turn, you got the race in the bag.
Sick
Me holding my handlebars in front of the screen. 😂
Nice gate 7
Wow he cuts you off every time. Dislike that. But you got this Barry! 💪🏼 much love to you and the fam 🤍
Ya that was pissing me off
Same. But that's racing. It's cut throat in the pros.
that guy kept coming in on you !
Another one lets go
Mint
Did you have yourself a time?
Don't get soft. He was crowding the heck out of you into one. You should have paid him back by ejected him in that last turn on Saturday Moto 1 LOL
X2☝
Looks like they're going 50 mph.
nice
👍🏿
You were supposed to be in lane 7
Your to nice when you ride you need to be more mean to Jonathan like when he’s even on parts he doesn’t need to move over he still does just so he can make sure u don’t win so you should also do that
When I’m in front I’d ride the same way. Gotta block and stay on guard!
