Modern big wheel bmx bikes vs your 80s bike. Your 80s bike was trying to be a big bmx bike.

- The biggest concern I had and I've heard other old-school guys say about these big wheel 29er BMX bikes is that they just want to ride the bikes they remember from the 80s. In this video, I try to show you how the geometry they have now matches the geometry we were trying to fix from our old-school bikes.
These big BMX bikes really do feel like the bikes you know and love, only they're comfortable to ride around on as an adult.
Just got a 29” GT! Love it.
May I ask which GT? Also, if you upgraded bikes, what do you have now?
I'm 36 and just got back into riding. I just bought a 20" with a 21"TT and it fits me like a charm
Justin Rieger that’s awesome! Welcome back🤘🤘
How tall are you?
I’m 53 and just ordered my GT Pro Performer 29er, it will be my 4th bike in the stable. Can’t wait to get back on a BMX bike, had a Hutch pro racer when I was in high school and I loved riding. Great vid!🤘
You’ll love the bigger feel. Feels like home to us old school guys🤘
"Your body hasn't forgotten that you love BMX!"
My body still feeling pain from when i rode, I'm temped to get the new PK
Excellent video, sir! Thank you...
Well said.
How much weight can SE bikes can handle? I’m about 5’10 220 lbs what bike do you recommend and easiest to learn wheelies on?
Ok man, you got me! Starting racing bmx in 1979. I raced for 8 years, then mountain bikes. I just received my SE Bigflyer X today. I assembled it and rode it. Wow you are so right just like my old bmx bikes. I love it. Thanks by the way im 6'3 230 lbs and born in 1972. I did manage to get the front wheel off the ground. It has been a long time since I rode a bmx bicycle. I cant wait to wheelie....
John that's awesome! Welcome back! I know exactly how you feel. Sounds like we had a similar history. I added a 17 tooth freewheel in the back and it made popping up a little easier. I'll tell you though, your brain/body doesn't forget how to wheelie. Give it a few hours and you'll have straight lines back. Then it's just a matter of time before you're on one wheel more than two!
Shit I didn’t even know these existed! Not only has my body not forgotten bmx, my mountain bike has never felt right. I have a 2008 Gary Fischer hifi+ and at no point have I ever really liked it much. It’s clunky, it can’t climb for shit without slipping gears, it’s finicky, and the cool, new-fangled, full-suspension crap just makes it feel like driving a truck. I was born in ‘71 and lived on my lime-green Pro Performer. Man, something like that I could ride now? Sold!
I'm 47, and I needed this video! Now it's time for me to get a big boy BMX, get RAD, brake bones, and get stiches.
ELECTRIC EYE welcome back bro! Check out the PK Ripper 27.5 and the Big Ripper. They’re scarce right now because of Covid, but they’re coming soon. Avoid the scalper prices on eBay etc. be patient and you’ll find one at retail 🤘💪
Ha! @ 15 years old, I was 5''-9" and about 145 lbs.
So I'm 7 inches taller and 100 lbs heavier 38 years later.
I loved my Mongoose, my GT, and my Hutch Pro.
Rode until I was 17, had a GT laid back seat post and the GT Gorilla Handlebars.
My friends with cars culdn't understand why I still liked riding.
Would put my bike in the back seat of my 72 Skylark, to go ride places I hadn't ridden before.
My kids are young adults now, and I want to be a kid again.
Dude found your channel when searching stuff on my new big BMX bike. Digging the vibe on your channel.
Thanks for watching Rick!🤘- happy to answer questions and chat about these big bikes!
I’m about to turn 44 and just got a Ripper to ride around with my son. He’s not even two yet and we already have him on a Stryder.
Most days when I get home from work he’ll greet me at the door and tug at my pant leg and say “Da, bike, side side(outside)”
I never knew how to do any tricks but I loved to ride all day. Hoping our son loves it as much as I did and we can keep him outside and away from screens.
I never had anything as nice as a Ripper growing up, but man it makes me feel like I’m 8 years old again 😃 It’s the bike I always wanted as a kid!
I really enjoyed your tutorial. I am 50 yrs old am 6' tall and weigh 260lbs. When I did freestyle and bmx as a kid ( 12-17) I was much smaller 5'9" 130lbs. I currently ride my old Schwinn beach cruiser( I have owned since 1983) with a springer fork and even it feels small. Thanks for the valid points, currently looking into a big bmx bike. Thanks
My 80s bike was huge!!! I was only 7 years old... Then it strangely shrunk when I turned 14
Awesome video bro I’m turning 50 this year and I’m back on my bike. Just got the big ripper myself and I love it. ✌️Bike Life
Awesome video, couldn’t have been explained better anywhere else. I’m 41 but short as hell & thinking bout getting a 24 or 26.
Hey man, it all comes down to how you’re going to use it. If you’re doing wheelies and things, the 26 would still work. I’ve seen youngsters doing wheelies on the monster quad. If you’re going straight comfort though, I’d look at the 26 first, then the 24. Simply getting taller bars makes a world of difference to making them feel old-school🤘
Hey, Isaac great video. Just a couple questions. I enjoyed the sqb 26 "redline video. I was set on that , but i saw a Haro Downtown 24 ". What are your thoughts on that. Cost of the redline vs Haro and I mainly want to commute and do wheelies as you mentioned. Back in the day i had a Diamondback . 👍
@@joshpederson5926 I’m a firm believer that 26” is better than a 24” so I’d say look at PlanetBMX.com for the 26” Haro selection. They have BMF and sloride frames for $150 right now. They have tons of deals on the 26” complete bikes too. 24” feels cramped in my opinion
Regards from France.
I m turning 48 the 31st of this month and i m thinking more and more about these 29ers.
It s a major pain to find them here but i m sure i ll dig one up soon from the 2nd hand market !
Then....back in business 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am a 54 year old female former BMX racer and I have just bought a BMX bike, a 20" wheeled (2010 model) Intense Moto Expert XL (steel frame).
I wouldn't mind one of those new BMX bikes, always had a soft spot for GT bikes, owned many of their mountain bikes !
SE, GT, Haro, SuperCross… they’re all making big 26-29” versions of our old BMX bikes. Welcome back to BMX!
Use to ride powerlite coqpit 20 then got 24in redline and now i have recently got a gt pro series 26 and have fully customized it. I love it. But will prolly try to sell it for a profit and find another vike to build up.
Thanks for the input! I still have my 1983 Schwinn Predator. Now I have a 20" Free Agent Limo.
I just restored an 83 predator. I have a ton of bikes now.
Dude first off awesome video. I was a bmx kid in the late 80s early 90s. We were poor but somehow my dad managed to buy me a gt and I rode that thing forever. It’s long gone but I have missed it. I got into mountain bikes for about 10 years after that. And until your video I thought my bmx days were over. I’ve been looking for a new bike but really only ride pavement these days and now that I’ve found the big bmx I am literally getting one ASAP. I’m 6’2 but I think the 29” will fit me. Heading to the bike store today. Great videos and keep up the good work! Now I just need to find some giant old school mag wheels like I had lol. Subscribed
They make 29inch mags. Be patient with buying. Bikes are rare because of supply chain and COVID-19 issues. They’re coming, but sold out at most shops. If you look at eBay or offerup, you’ll see people taking advantage and charging 2x-3x retail for them. Just be patient and they’ll show up at your local bike shop at a normal $700-1000 range
.....where at in the bay area did you come from....I'm in the east bay 925...small world, and yes I miss my gt performer, and my light ass mongoose that had the drilled out holes in the rims.....I had all kinds of bmxs as a kid some mine, most not!! But I swayed more towards the gt's , but had elfs, skyways,redlines, hutches.....
I was in Stockton/Lodi/Modesto. 209🤘
@@BigBikeBMX not far from here in brentwood oakley area. ..
I ride mountain bike, i aqcuired an SE 27.5 bike after fell in love cruising my Felt New Belgium 29" cruiser. it felt like a bmx bike to me, but it has fenders and a basket on the front. But if you stripped it all off, it would pretty much be a bmx bike. Anyways, I got me a black and gold SE Beastmode and have been loving it, i need to get a larger rear cog as I live in a hilly area and my wife has an ebike cruiser so I want to be able to keep up lol. What kind of pedals do you recommend? I think the stock pedals are trash.
I got a question I have a GT pro series 29 and it comes with Pro Series Cheat Code 2pc, 100% Cr-Mo, 7.875"H x 31.5"W, 5°Up, 11° Back for handle bars. And I would like the handle bars to be a little taller do you have any recommendations
I beg to differ, at 15 I was 5ft 5in, at 49, I’m 5ft 5in😂😂😂 Wife just bought me a Free Agent Ambush 24, hoping to get back into shape, wish me luck 👍🏼
Really appreciate your videos, man. Just got back into BMX at 45 after 30 years away. I impulse bought a Haro Lineage Group 1 RS-1 29” a couple years ago, and while it’s not necessarily a wheelie bike, it’s super fun. Last year I got a Stolen Saint 24” to try flatland tricks on, and I’m loving that too. Thanks for all the great work!
I have the same bike. I absolutely love it. I got a gt pro performer 26 heritage coming soon. Can't wait for it. I'm only 5 ft 7 so I think the 26 might fit me better.
Troy, I bet it does. If you remember, Let me know after you ride it a day or so! If you have Instagram, tag me if you post it there - omgheyIsaac is my IG account. I’d love to see your Big Ripper too🤘
Come on man, we did not have laid back seatposts so that we could do WHEELIES .... nobody in 1988 bought a Haro Master to do wheelies 😂
I was riding wheelies and doing flatland on my Haro Master. Thanks for watching
@@BigBikeBMX Yeah, so was I (on a Street Beat with a drainpipe though). You'd be hard pressed to find a video of anyone doing a wheelie in a flatland contest or show after 1983. All I'm saying is that laid backs weren't invented so we could wheelie better, just to give us more room and bar clearance. I enjoyed the video a great deal, I just thought that one part was weird, that's all. Ironically, my 26" Master just arrived today. I should ride more and nitpick less :)
@@Guav I loved my street beat. It was that white with lavender stripe. Frame stands for days on that top tube🤘
@@BigBikeBMX 1986! That was the best color way of that model year, I'm jealous. Couldn't afford the Street Beat, so had to settle for the green Street Styler. Eventually got the grey/blue Street Beat F&F after I broke the Styler. Honestly Skyways were all I ever rode, kinda feel like a traitor getting a Haro haha ... and yeah, that platform was the absolute best for framestands.
80s bikes felt far more quality than any new bike the geometry the weight the gearing tue frame construction all were spot on back in the day. Bike now feel
Like cheap garbage
Hey man!!! Love this video!!! I'm 46 and just ordered my first BMX in decades (27.5)... QUESTION: 1) Where did you get the freestylin' and club homeboy stickers??? 2) you said you still do tailwhips without a gyro? How??? Trying to figure it out and super bummed that none of these come with gyros! I wanna show my kids what's up, old man still got it. 3) thanks for pointing out about the seat geometry... that's awesome... would have never thought about that... finally, what if you had the "new geometry" but still added a layed back seat post?? What happens then??
I have a hollow stem bolt with an old-school pots mod like we did our front brakes in the 80s. I had to add a 990 boomerang plate for a front brake. The stock rear brake cable will spin around once so you can ride away and spin the bars back afterwards. I got the custom decals from RideOutSupply.com - there’s a video of the process in the videos list here. I think the laid back post would just extend the reach a bit and make the seat feel like a “banana seat” but I could be wrong. Good luck!! 🤘🤘
Porkchop BMX has gyros for 1-1/8 threadless set up. I keep thinking about getting one but I just put in a new headset and don't want to beat it back out.
I’m there bro learning to wheelie my 29 quad I need to slow it down a bit should I go with a 36 tooth front chainring
Drop down two teeth from stock and see how that feels. It should make getting the wheel up a little easier for sure💪
❤️ That’s a great bmx video to watch! How often do you upload your videos?
Keep it up 🥰 😃
Thanks for checking out the videos. I'm trying to upload at least once a week or so right now. With the world on quarantine, it's been mostly reviews and interviews lately, but more content is coming.
What is that phone mount on your bike?
marty stephens it’s a rokform mount and phone case. Love it!
Can a 29x2.8 tire fit on the newer model Big Ripper’s with the standard rim? (2021-2022 models)
I test-fit a front 2.8 on my big flyer and it fit but it’s close. The rear would be so snug I think it would rub. Technically yes on front, if it’s got the wider forks like the City Grounds big flyer.
If you want the 2.8 - I’d start with a “monster” ripper.
@@BigBikeBMX okay, thanks a million
@@mtbridingcrew ya man, if you scroll down on my Instagram- Dec 2021 I posted the test-fit on the front wheel and you can see how close it is👍
@@BigBikeBMX will do. I like the Big Ripper style more than the Monster Ripper and Quad. Was trying to beef up the Big Ripper. Lol
Just picked up a 29er… Love it!
That’s awesome Marcus. Welcome to the big bike world🤘
100% agree rode BMX in the 80s, now have a big fiend BMX.
i still have my 20 inch ELF (witch is way to small) and on the hunt for a bigger BMX P.S liking the ODI Grip valve caps
yard sale cycles definitely look at the new big bikes. You’ll feel right at home and like you’re 15 again. ELF is still around and making some sick seat clamps etc🤘
I've got a question that I just can't really get a good answer to maybe you can? Big flyer and big rippers are so similar why even have the difference ? Is like one more geared to some type of riding than the other? It just just cosmetic?
Flyer has more affordable components so the price point is different.
Oh... and how long did it take you to learn how to rode a wheelie? Or did you know how back in the day?? I wasn't great at them but plan on trying when bike arrives on Monday (2 days from Now!)
I learned back in the 80s and your body and muscle memory still know how. These bikes make them easier though, because of the shorter rear triangle. Pull up and sit back and feather your brakes to keep from looping out and falling back. Takes some time, but trust me, you’ll get it if you practice 🤘
And just like that, I am now in the market for a 29" BMX bike.
Frank Taylor bro. SEbikes.com is where you’ll find current models. Then call Phoenix Bike Company and let them know what ya want. It’s so much fun. Swing by and you can ride some of mine and see what ya like
Im 48 started watching bike Vids yesterday, i need another bmx now
Exactly we are not kids anymore!!! I went through so many bikes trying not to buy a 29". Lol
Right?! I'm so glad I did though!
right onnnn!!!!! was just here sitting trying to figure out my dilemma -- og hutch trickstar vs new school 24'' hutch trickstar and the part were you said you had to sit in your Childs classroom chair made total sense comparing og to new sku thanks........................... Z from the bay
It's how my mind thinks. I love my old bikes, but it was hard for me to understand what's so great about the new geometry or new geometry. The newer bikes moved the seat back and the rear end forward and that's basically what we all did as kids with laid back seatposts etc. Take care man, thanks for watching and taking time to comment! - Isaac
Wow TH-cam suggested watched 2 vids subscribed ! Im 45 still trying to ride i got 2018 big ripper still working on wheelies and still have a fleet o 20"bmx street park dirt race early 01 bike for dirt /street wieghs like 37lbs haha been bmx riding racing dirt jump now skatepark.....oh and my dream bike as kid my size man i ride my big ripper on dirt street a paved river trail skatepark s bmx track a pump track sweet bikes se "bmx innovation"
Alan Burrows that’s awesome bro! Stoked to have you in the BMX family. The beauty of big BMX bikes is we can ride them however we want. Wheelie them, jump them, or just ride around the block - they’re still so much fun🤘💪
Big Ripper, gave me new life. I love this bike.
Thanks for watching! I couldn’t agree more. I’m so glad I found these big BMX bikes when I did. They really do make you feel young and takes me back to those moments where all I wanted to do was land a perfect flatland trick🤘
@@BigBikeBMX check out some of my videos...I ride ride it all over..
I was wondering if we could talk, i have a idea for a collab.
An easier way to explain this is to measure and compare the distance from the center of the bottom bracket to the rear axle. As you mentioned about the gap between the 20 inch wheel and the seat tube, that creates more distance between the crank and the rear axle, and that distance is about the same on a 26/29 inch even though the wheel is bigger, because the wheel takes up that space.
Great point! Thank you!
What bars are those
These are brokeboyzbmx bars. You can find them at @brokeboyzbmx on Instagram
Yep had to give up my old Haro master when I out grew it snapped the chain off went flying over the bars and slid on my face a few feet in ‘96-‘97. It was a long and painful walk home. Been riding bigger bikes since still won’t go full speed anymore though.
dansherman1980 just have fun on them 🤘🤘
I got a 2021 Sunday high c I just bought some GT cruise control 4 peice bars and I already changed the chain also the breaks
Great bike!!!! Congrats
Interresting video ; ) I came back to bmx in my 40's to ride with my son and bought a 24 Wethepeople avenger. Some light dirt jumping, skatepark and trail but now i'm looking for a more oriented cruiser wheelie bike . so looking for a 26' .But here in France they are kind of rare and not easy to find .
thanks for your video and maybe more action next one ;)
Thanks David. Always appreciate the feedback. It’s hard to get good action footage right now because of the quarantine and trying to film alone. SE makes some great 26s and so does Cult.
Thank you for your content! I'm 47 and getting back to my 80's BMX roots. looking to pull the tigger soon on a new 29"! keep putting out videos!
Manny Prieres thanks Manny! Welcome back to BMX, brother🤘
Love all your vids Isaac kool vibes always. Noticed the Helmet, how do you like the feel. Pretty nice with the old style glitter effect very retro. Let me know your opinion on the lid
It’s a little small honestly. I used their size chart on Pro-Tec’s website and it said I’m a medium but I think I’d like a large better. The color looks fantastic though. They have a gold one that looks super retro as well🤘 It’s a long drop to the cement on a 29er so I’d definitely suggest always riding with one and make sure you get a “certified” helmet. They’re tested and not just plastic with some foam. That was new since the 80s and it was interesting to learn about👍
39 and back wheeling myself. Can’t stay off my bike now. I’m riding a 26er.
Gerald Yo Mama welcome back brother! Stay rad🤘
Anyone name the song please ????
Thanks to you I got giant kids bike and a new favorite rap duo (RTJ)! Let me know what we're doing next
Hahaha bro, that’s awesome! RTJ is legit🤘
I don't understand these bikes. Is it just so you can wheelie and ride around? I was doing 360s off massive stair cases is this better? Idk im just not getting it lol
If you’re having fun doing 360s off staircases - keep doing it.
When a 20” starts hurting your knees and back, big BMX bikes are here so you can keep riding the style you like. Just ride.
@@BigBikeBMX so it's for old dudes like me?
The 80’s were great! I had a green haro master and a chrome GT Pro Series XL. Now all I have left is a VHS copy of the RAD movie on a dvd disc.
Hey dude What was the 26 inch like to ride, I'm looking to get an SE OM FLYER the blue & Gold 1 & I'm bout 5'11" & was wondering if it would feel like the old skool BMX there is none in the shops here in UK where I live so can't go see 1 ?? 🤘🤘🤘
The 26 feels good. I tell people the 26, 27.5, and 29 will all feel more comfortable for most riders. I’m riding the 27.5 pk ripper now and it’s my favorite so far. You’ll want to look at taller bars and that’s the key to making big bikes feel like old-school BMX bikes.
@@BigBikeBMX cheers dude 🤘🤘
Just found your channel. Im 54 rode bmx in 70s and 80s, has a Raleigh Rampar. Been riding mtb 29ers for 10ish plus years. Just diagnosed with Parkinsons and continuing to add bike stuff for balance practice. Do you have video about budget or first new bmx modern bikes? Thanks and love what your doing.
I bought an Se Monster Quad about three weeks ago upgraded to hydraulic discs I love the bike it’s huge but it seems hard to get wheelies started
Two things that might help. Taller bars if you’re a taller rider and a smaller front chainring. That will make it easier to pedal and pull the wheel up🤘💪
Love this bike dude amazing color and perfectly placed decals your attention to detail is spot on. I noticed your bikes have traditional rim brakes, what are yours thoughts on disc brakes on bmx and why do you choose rim is it nostalgia, weight savings just plain over kill?? Thanks!!
Btw how tall are you? I’m 5’8” and tries a 24” at my LBS and felt perfect, how does a 29” feel?
The big ripper comes with rim brakes so that what I rode. I mostly ride a PK Ripper 27.5 with hydraulic disc brakes and love it. I’m all for new technology if it works better. I’m 5’11 and love the big bikes. 29” 27.5” and 26” are my personal favorite sizes
Old school bay area bmx rider here. I love my 24" bikes but as you point out to do better wheelies it helped to have a laid back seat post in order to get over the rear wheel more. Another overlooked and free upgrade to help is to get your wheel to sit in as far forward in the dropouts as possible, usually by shortening the chain. To do this slide your wheel all the way in and hand tighten in on. Make sure you'll have enough tire to frame clearance and your brake pads will still adjust to your new rim position. Then take out enough chain links (but not too many) to be able to get the right chain tension with the wheel as far forward as possible. Although it's a small change a 1/4" or 1/2" can make a difference for wheeling old school bmx frames.
When you have a greater distance from the centerline of the rear axle to the centerline of the top of the seat post your balancepoint becomes narrower and you have to get the front wheel up much higher which brings you closer to looping out. And once you go over you"d better have a damn good strong rear brake. Believe me, it hurts like hell to loop out when your Vans wont slide off your grippy pedals and you go down on your back because you couldn't step out. I was even thinking about putting on an old school banana seat with a high sissy bar and maybe coming up with some new tricks.
Look, I'm 60 years old and I ride because it's still fun. When I'm told I should be sitting around drinking prune juice and playing shuffleboard I just ride away and rock a long wheelie. Don't let fear dominate your actions yet respect your limitations. If you don't push the envelope a little you'll always regret you didn't try.
I want to get a fat ripper!
Isaac...love the videos, and that you hit that nostalgic feeling on the head. I wI'll be looking into the ripper for myself shortly here in Glendale. It's real hard to replace that feeling of freedom an 80s kid with a BMX bike had.....but I think you found it!
Good mention of being safe during these hard times with covid...we all have to do our parts.
Hey Jay, thanks for watching. If you mean Glendale. AZ - Phoenix Bike Co has a few SE Big Bikes in stock. Mine’s a Big Ripper, but they all have that same feel we grew up with. I put some taller bars on mine and it feels like home. If you’re local in Phoenix we’ll be riding again soon and you can check it out for yourself🤘
Great vid!!! Getting back into this as well but almost 40.
What size tire would you recommend for cruising with the kids? 24, 26 or 29?
I don’t do anything crazy, just ride around but want something that feels like my bike from the 80s. I have a MTB.
I’d suggest a 27.5 or a 29. The biggest way to make it feel like our old BMX bikes is the taller bars. I’m running brokeboyzbmx bars with an 8 inch rise and they’re perfect🤘💪
So helpful! Thanks Isaac! Been watching all of your videos and asked a few questions as I am curious on finding what’s right for me.
I bought a 20” to ride with the kids and it sort of works. After watching g your videos, doing some research and others, really thinking 26 or 29. I am about the same at 6’ and 190 (Thanks COVID).
My options are Craigslist or online. Online is sold out and a lot more than I can afford right now at $300.
So I offered on some 26ers on Craigslist and found these online. Anyone have thoughts on these?

Looking into the SE Big Flyer 29 but may need to sell the 20” Verde Vex...
I just got the SE big ripper 29" and wow what a difference over a smaller/cheaper bike it feels so good to ride and I can def. wheelie a lot easier
Dude we got to see some old footage of you riding back in the day
All I have is pictures. We didn’t have a VHS camera. I’ve looked for videos from contests but nobody posts amateur flatland runs on TH-cam. All I can find are the pro runs. Check out @bigbikebmx on Instagram and you’ll see old pics of me flatlanding there🤘
Rpm cadance?
And..... thanks homie!!! Love the videos!!
Thanks for watching 🤘🤘
Is the geometry much different between the big Flyer and big ripper?
nope. Mostly its just parts and the looptail rear on the Big Ripper.
@@BigBikeBMX so why the naming? Sorry to bug ya...
@@DaraM73 so folks can still have a big 29er at both price points. Higher end big ripper or entry level big Flyer👍
I have a 2018 beast mode and it's so smooth
I’m a believer. I just got the 27.5 PK Ripper and it rides like a dream. I like it more than my Big Ripper right now🤘
IAM 52 and still love bmx .I had a cook brothers..
Bobby Casias you might like the S&M COVID-26 or 29. They made a big BMX frame and fork that looks like the classic Cook Bro’s frame we grew up with👍
@@BigBikeBMX thanks I do want to buy cruiser but there all out of stock. I will have 500 to get the best deal I can .then I can trick it out later.
Bobby Casias is look at Haro/SE Bikes/GT if you like the classic brands. They all have big BMX bikes in that range🤘
Isaac, Im the same age and just got my first 29er. Decided to go with the 2020 GT street performer since everyone around me has the SE. Plus I couldn't resist the green/black camo. Nothing against SE rippers had one my self and still love em. Anyhow your vid nails it on how these bike feel. I haven't had this much fun on a pedal bike in a long time. I bought 2 more 29ers for my boys. Its such a blast ripping around town with them. Also what lights do you have on your bike and were did you get them.
Hey man, That's awesome you found a GT you love. That green camo looks super rad with the red. I'm all about seeing us old-school guys on big BMX bikes of ANY brand - Not just SE. I rode the orange Voelker Dyno and loved how it handles. To answer your question on lights, I just did a search on Amazon for rechargeable led bike lights. These are the ones I got. www.amazon.com/Ascher-Rechargeable-Headlight-Resistant-Included/dp/B01EUQ7ZQG/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Ascher+USB+Rechargeable+Bike+Light+Set%2CSuper+Bright+Front+Headlight+and+Rear+LED+Bicycle+Light%2C650mah+Lithium+Battery%2C4+Light+Mode+Options%282+USB+cables+and+4+Strap+Included%29&qid=1588884103&sr=8-1
I've had them four months now and they do what I need them to do. I've moved the front light down to my forks and they work better there.
What size seat post you have when cruising?
What kind of phone stand is that
Its called Rok Form. The case locks to a mount on the bike. I don't use it anymore. I just use a jbl bluetooth speaker for music. I never found a bike mount that worked for BMX parts and held the phone.

Man, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your enthusiasm and your detailed input on this topic! The fact that we're close in age (I'm 46) is a bonus for me too, because I feel like I can relate. I grew up in IL, but live in the Phoenix area now, as well. I'm definitely gonna check out Phoenix Bike Company this week! I LOVE your bike, brother! That metallic red is just killer! I see an SE bike in my future! lol
Dave Todden Thanks brother🤘 - definitely go see Shaun at Phoenix Bike Co. They have a red fast ripper right now. It’s the same bike as mine only it has 10 speeds. It’s sick🤘🤘
And welcome back to BMX! I look forward to seeing you riding out there soon bro💪
@@BigBikeBMX Yeah, I saw that one on SE's website! It'll either be that or the polished PK that will end up in my hands soon, hopefully! I love them both!
