man, I love these segments of not just road cycling, but seeing other disciplines and types of bikes. I also had a BMX when I was a kid, and I had completely forgotten how much fun it was, being my first bike and all. Definitely something fun to do with your kids, or let them do.
I LOVE this video. From a former BMX rider now doing MTB, then road and now gravel, THANKS SO MUCH for showing this perspective. AWESOME!! Regards from Lima, Peru.
Years ago I took the kids to the closest BMX track. The guy running the pace said to pace myself because it was a 750' long track. I was like "I can ride 100 miles, no problem. 750' is a joke!" But, at 500', I didn't think I'd make it. Mad fun. Great video. More Tre!
Thanks, Tre and Hank, for this spin around the track and the BMX history lesson. And I will always be thankful that I was one of those kids in California on a Sting-Ray way back in the day, got mine for my birthday in San Francisco in '67. And that bike for me--and the BMX bikes which followed--provided years of thrills and chills and spills and now decades of fond memories, like fearlessly dropping down those steep streets--we lived on Twin Peaks--and slamming on the brakes at the bottom and then riding back up, either by myself or with friends, happily zig-zagging all the way and the only way when you're eight years old, lol.
Another GCN video that makes me want to go get another bike! Thanks to Hank for his fearless experimenting! Love seeing people learn new things. And every time Hank takes a tumble with the clipless pedals makes me feel ok about the number of times I end up on my side with a bike still connected.
Yes, some BMX at last 😎. Please sir, can we have some more? Hank working up to his first BMX race would make a good series. We have some superb racers in this country who deserve more coverage.
great shout. I grew up on BMX bikes and racing around the tracks of east anglia in the mid eighties. The best memories. “Back in my day” the bikes were more everyday bikes - I used to ride a lot of miles as lived a fair way from my mates - with higher seat tubes, but that bike in this video looks built for purpose and fast.
One thing should be pointed out how much a family sport it is. Iam 54 years old been racing for 40 years, but the best thing was when I raced with my kids. One of my competitors races with his kids and grand kids, I absolutely love that about my sport.
I raced as a kid and again as in my 20s. its helped my handling skills obviously. The organizer of the track I raced at said once, "I am glad BMX is here because some kids do not play ball". I miss it sometimes. Good o to hank for doing it in SPDs his first time!
Tre makes a really good observation about Hank just keeping going. I raced BMX for years but would always struggle to hold it together down the last straight. After building endurance through road riding, maintaining speed at the end of the race eventually became one of my strengths. Baggies and Lycra go hand in hand!
all ages and genders have been clipping in since the '90s. Brian Lopes (MTB pro) and I believe Eric Rupe were the first to show up at a national clipped in. Either '93 or '94.
@@FreeMTrider Naw. It was a couple years earlier. Probably 90. In 93 I had already been using clipless pedals for at least 3 years racing MTB in Alaska. Unless you’re talking specifically about BMX? 🤷♂️ Before clipless, I was using traditional road cleats with double leather straps, but with MTB shoes (Mike Kloser’s old Alpinestars shoes). Which really forced me to become a good bike handler since I couldn’t get out of my pedals without reaching down to slap the straps. Interestingly, I’m still riding with those original Shimano SPD 747s; they somehow still work!
@@keirfarnum6811 referring to just BMX. I didn’t start riding MTB until ‘95 and everyone was clipped in of course. Interesting enough, way back in ‘79, my buddy was using just the road toe clip cage racing BMX. My dad raced road bikes so we had a few to modify and trimmed the top part of the clip off. I was only 11 years old and my friend was 13. It worked pretty good.
Last year, at the age of 43 I did a BMX clinic. It was incredible and fun but no joke as it was the hardest 40ish seconds of riding in my life! It's one of only a couple of cycling disciplines that really works the upper body and core. I was riding everyday that year (2019) and I made it about an hour and a half before my legs were like, "yeah right!" I think the next thing you should try is trials!
I think it's important that us roadies try different diserplines in cycling (and I don't mean just CX). Some of the skills I learnt from downhill mtb have without a shadow of aa doubt have helped with road biking Kudos to Hank for giving BMX a go
Exactly what I was thinking! Can't use the lack of the gate as an excuse for it. Oddly, I never knew they clipped in for it. Always thought it was basic platforms. Learned something!
I race BMX, and I can confidently say his back tire lost grip. A combination of trying to sort of do his gate start on flat (damp?) ground and the lack of a gate. BMXers can put down alot of torque and when it doesn't grip properly or a drivetrain component breaks. it can result in an otb like 11:33. The reason why is that in order to start our intial momentum we through our bodyweight forward. If you go too far fowards, the grip on your rear tire can be reduced to a point where it slips.
I raced BMX during the 1970’s and early 1980’s...the sport’s golden era. I only ride road and gravel these days, but I still LOVE to watch BMX racing. I can still feel the hairs on my neck standing whenever the starting cadence begins...”Riders ready....Watch the lights!” Let’s do a Global BMX Racing Network! Please!
All my spare time I was at this track in Patchway Bristol, loved it loads and it’s great that it still is going strong, race nights were awesome and would strongly recommend for anyone interested in the art of Bmxing, great vid👍👍👍👍
That was awesome! Mate, you can take any challenge at all - Hank the tank! In terms of the future challenges, you should definitely try Down Hill. Bigger frame and wheels, supper fun, dangerous and scary. Think about it, I know you would love it. Great episode, take care 👍
Great to see Trey in action again. I remember photographing him at Burgess Park riding with Peckham BMX in 2013/14 when the whole site was being developed. It was great to watch the riders racing around that track. Although like Hank it scared the loving daylights out of me!
Hey Hank. You look pretty good for the first time out! Maybe it’s time for your first BMX bike. The family like atmosphere at the track is unlike any discipline in cycling. You can race in full kit or jeans and a hoodie. Nobody really cares. What they care about is if you’re having fun. It’s one of the only sports where your 4 yr old can get in the gate with an Olympic gold medalist! Ages range from 3 yrs old to the 70’s come to the USA to a USA BMX national and do a video. It will be quite an experience!
All of you GCN youngsters won’t have had the pleasure of watching a particular Blue Peter presenter of my youth but Hank truly is GCN’s answer to John Noakes 🤣
Props for trying and being sooner than GMBN. Roadies have a reputation for being stiff popstickles and a reputation doesn't fall from the sky. A beginners BMX course would help a lot of bikers when it comes to fundamental bike handling skills (safety). Almost everyone in holland knows how to pedal. But pedalling is not cycling. Lot's of accidents here in Holland because of this pedalling conditioning. It's litterally all they do. Trey wasn't even trying by the way.... And as a side note. Van der Poel does a lot of dirtjumping to get his MTB skills on point.
Next, the GBMX channel! ;-) When I was a kid in the 70s, BMX was my way into serious biking. I had a '68 Schwinn Stingray (5 speed) that I stripped everything off of, and switched to a bmx saddle, bars and wheels. Back then, though, we raced in dirt more like motocross. I don't know what Hank was riding on, but it looked a lot harder than the dirt we rode on. Wondering where the knee and elbow pads were. ouch.
What a great little vid. Hank mate, you crushed it for a first attempt. Awesome! Get Trey to compete in the rad race!! That would be a good return event
Cool video guys! Always love to show how hard BMXr is. The only part I cannot see well explained is the elbow to elbow fights, which being a RUGBY player also, made me call BYCICLE RUGBY to BMXr
Great video, have done a few laps of our local BMX track with the kids and it's great fun and hard work. Would love to see Hank race CX next - do it while it's muddy!
i just spent 7 days riding a dirt jump bike and i went to the bmx track as part of the learning experience and let me tell you they make it look way easier than it is and it is nackering
I just noticed yesterday I have a video of a crit race (the British Nationals) in Bath that Hank competed in. There is a moment where Hank is right up in the lead. He came forth I think, and the commentator keeps dropping his name over the PR. It was a really cold wet day and I got soaked watching.
I grew up racing BMX. But that was in the 80s. Back before they had these groomed smooth tracks. Ours were basically piles of dirt and paths cut into someone's field. I'd love to try one of these tracks one day.
It's only 10 seconds....but it's almost 30% slower!! lol It was all in the start....getting enough speed going down the ramp - Trey hardly pedaled through the circuit - just here and there. He was able to generate way more speed coming down the ramp, and has much better technique to not scrub that speed over the bumps. Great fun video....reminds me of my BMX racing days when I was a kid. My home track had a much longer start ramp, but also was a much longer track.
Tops vid! Not only do the top guys get >2000watts, they can get cadence of up to 250! But seriously, a great family sport! Kids love it, and race nights are a real fun atmosphere! GCN v GMBN v Tre challenge?
More and more skateboarders coming over to road cycling as their bodies age. Plus you've got those wild Palace / Rapha kits. I'd love to see a skater vs. roadie challenge.
GCN needs to create a playlist called “Hank flirts with death and danger.” Throw the tandem world record attempt in there, the 10 caffeine trip, this one.
I knew hank would kill it on the bmx based on how fast he picked up mtb skills. Plus I thought he would do that lap in 1 minute. He was way fast for a first timer.
What did you think of Hank's attempt at BMX? Let us know in the comments 👇
Simply Epic! Loved this vid
Great vid loved it, it would be awesome to get the whole gcn there for a game of bike 👍👍
So you guys let hank do the BMX thing cause he is the shortest?
He’s got the right temperament for it.
He’s gnarly.
Should get Connor doing this, the size difference between him and the bike would be hilarious
Since you stand most of the time, he'd just look like he's on a scooter.
I'm 190cm and had to get a custom frame just to ride a class bike instead of a cruiser, bmx is def not tall people friendly haha
Why do I hear the circus theme song in me head, all of a sudden
You’d be surprised. They actually do make bmx race frames and handlebars for riders Conor’s size. “Pro XXXL”. Seriously.
@@prestachuck2867 they def do but it's a custom order and a few weeks wait, thays the size I'm on.
Love this BMX guy on the channel. More of him!
7 years and a lot of videos after Dan promised us BMX content in the first GCN show, we finally have it! Yes!
I was thinking the same thing!!!
why not have a GCN presenter challenge on this track
Did Hank get lessons from Matt Stephens about how to clip in?
Someone had to take over the mantle 😂

Props for trying and being sooner than GMBN. Roadies have a reputation for being stiff popstickles and a reputation doesn't fall from the sky.

Great video & a great challenge - they are so hard & tiring getting round those couple of hundred yards!
the part where Trey was talking about riding as a kids while Hank practiced in the background was really charming
Good job! it looks real enjoyable and I'm sorely tempted to give it a whirl. Nice, tight, well edited video.
Fair play for trying it clipped in. I've ridden BMX all my life and ride MTB clipped in...and it scared me senseless the first time I BMXd clipped in.
That was awesome. Maybe Hank could participate in a BMX race next or check out BMX trails (UK should have pretty nice trails scene in the woods).
More of this! Great Video
Would've been interesting to see Hank's time around the track on a road or gravel bike.
Would be cool to see a GCN presenter participate in am organized BMX race, Hank would do alright in the beginner category, might even win it.
I knew hank would kill it on the bmx based on how fast he picked up mtb skills. Plus I thought he would do that lap in 1 minute. He was way fast for a first timer.
