Great to see you highlight women in the bike world! Thank you and congratulations to Alise!!
What a classy, personable young lady.A great addition to the Park Tool family. I have seen her race a few times when our Grandkids raced. Maybe I missed it but she's married to Sam, an Olympic medal winner and multi time World Champion.
Great in depth interview on the technical aspects of Alise's BMX bike.🙂
Great work Park Tool for supporting BMX, and for getting behind a great ambassador for the sport like Alice Post. I was already a fan of your products, now even more so!
Grew up in Saint Cloud racing bmx there. Even raced one of her old bikes at one point. So, you already know I'm smashing that like button. RAD to see this!
I love seeing park tool show love to beloved bmx.
Awesome interview!
Great Video !!👍👍
First time seeing this BMX sport. Nice interview, lovely person.
I got the pleasure of watching Alise practice at the Chila Vista track during the first week of July.
Yeah! Just watched Seth’s vid and came over to sub. Great channel!
haha. me too just now
Wow what a fascinating video! That bike is so cool and Alise is one amazing woman, and seems all around rad and classy, what a combo!
She knows her stuff..
That 70's Schwinn Vintage Bike Channel she called her own bike a fixed gear..
she better do she is a world champ...
Super interesting! And great how they pump that tracks.
Great interview!!
Pjw
Congratulations Alise,all the best,success!
So glad y'all are involving BMX, it's such an important part of cycling. My favorite is it's (I've heard) it's directly responsible for a falling crime rate in NYC. Great interview
Derek Smith wait
What's that last part again?
European BMX Championships in Glasgow about to kick off. We have a brand new, state-of-the-art BMX track here in Knightswood. Like Alise Willoughby says, lets hope the builders got it right - the start of these races look totally insane!!

The UCI rules have more to do with the classes of races, Championship, Challenge and Masters divided up by wheel size (20/24in).
As far as I know, weight and frame material do not really play a factor and are left up to the individual teams on how they want to set their bikes up.
Also to note, carbon, titanium and billet aluminum frames and parts have been available in the bmx world since the 90's though with today's tech, they're much more advanced and form fitting to the riders.
She seems awesome ! SO Happy she is representing USA !!
Nice job!
impressed to see GW bikes on park tools
Where are vids with Seth??
Seth will be putting his videos out first then ours will follow. He is busy with his dirt diaries video so the videos will be coming in a little later.
He said it will come out this Thursday
Ok thx
Yeah ive been waiting for that
Again
Awesome!
A freestyle follow up would be great too!
I might know even know a guy!😉
Nice! Very proud to see women in this.
damn that track would be awesome to ride with a hardtail mtb
1:48 Alise: we're on a 20inch bike without suspension... and fixed gear.
Calvin: (fixed gear??) ..... 1 gear
(BMX ignorant here) - Is there UCI rules on weight or materials for these bikes? I am surprised it's not a carbon mainframes, carbon wheels, carbon cranks, post, etc...Maybe even go all out with custom 20" Dugast tubulars for rolling resistance. With an Olympic gold medal on the line, I would assume no holds barred.
No rule on weights or materials, in UCI or USA BMX racing.
Is there a minimum bike weight in BMX?
Alise the Beast!!!!
LOVE ALISE!!! She is SO fast.
That bike is a beast. Almost looks like a trials bike.
Wow, that's pretty awesome. I knew about BMX, but not like this! She does have experience, started at the age of 6!!! So very cool. Nice gal, seems like she has a GREAT personality as well :-) :-) :-) Good Luck with your career girl!!! You rock!!!
leftymadrid a rainbow jersey and an Olympic silver medal says she has experience in the sport 🤣
She's using a GW frame HA! Like Mariana Pajon! NoicE!
she is probably waay faster than me on bmx
can you make a video about how to install 3 piece cranks?
Donat Tolj Wait, I thought they did.
yes for those square taper cranks but i think for bmx cranks its different
A beautiful girl, brave and strong, a great example for young people. With him, not a very young mechanic looks young..
Quick little footnote the reason BMXers run their gearing on the left side is because they usually grind on the right side and it's just cleaner and easier to grind without all of the mucky-muck of the sprocket and chain I love you all
Good grinding intel. Thanks
She seems nice, but you can tell when Calvin wants to correct her but doesn't because he's being a nice guy about it.
It's merely a single speed, not a fixed gear. Fixed gears mean coasting is not an option.
3/32" chain isn't a "tighter fit" than 1/8" or 3/16", assuming you use the matching width chain-rings and sprockets that define these measurements in the first place.
Technically a single speed is a "fixed gear" meaning it doesn't shift. A track bike is considered a "fixed wheel" meaning the wheel doesn't free wheel.
linda !!!!
"keep things tight"
giraffar
What are you implying?
300 RPM???
Let us know how the Olympics go!
She's very classy.
300 rpm???? How!
Not really BSing mate I believe that 300rpm is a possibility. I used to race BMX and know how hard the training is. I couldn’t get to 300rpm but Alise and the other riders in Elite Womem can. Elite Men even more rpm I wouldn’t doubt it tbf
At 18:30 they talk about Olympic plans for 2020. Sigh.
Advertisements withing an advertisement? Come on, stop it!
She is such a cutie!
she is like 30years old 😳😳😳😲booaahh
I would ditch the Promax cranks. Weak spindles.
Fixed gear lol
10:29 lmao we're a little rugged...How many miles are in your race again?
Oh sorry didn’t realise miles had anything to do with it. Just remember BMX racers have the highest watt figures of any form of cycling. They are also jumping massive jumps which will break multiple bones if you crash. Go back to your Lycra wearing friends with your chamois cream up your arse and we’ll carry on racing bikes properly.
Don’t care
Ed 007 Woah! Great comment! Hey everyone... this guy said “don’t care” he must be the coolest dude ever. Where can we find your comedy special?! Eat shit bud... get a life.
Second Nature Brand - don’t care
From someone who doesn't follow the sport, I thought it was very interesting to see how the sport has progressed technically.
Ed 007 I think you are jelly of her skills.
nobody cares that you care
