    You're one of the only consistent BMX channels on TH-cam. I love your content but as a racer, it would be AMAZING to see you build a race bike, or even talk about them more for other people out there.
    I know I'm asking alot since its not your forte, but you're one of the best. So it'd be cool.

    I had a kink curb. I do not miss that bottom bracket at all man. Funny thing is, I managed it without all those tools he used in the video. I did it all with a wrench, allen keys and a flathead.

    I did this to one of my old bikes, it had open bearings and every time it broke I’d take it to the shop then I wouldn’t see my bike for over a month, then my friend upgraded his bottom bracket so he gave me his old sealed bearings and cranks and never again did I go to the bike shop, plus they went out of business
