I use to work in the bike industry and bmx is really small has very little money. last two inter bikes 2017-18, I only seen a few bmx companies even at the trade show.
Hey @dougsterbob can you do a review/ take a look at the Flybikes completes and frames/ parts for 2023-2024. I think flybike is a really good brand and i see alot more people in the US riding them lately. I think some more exposure for the company would be good. Similiar to what you dis with the sundaya 2023 lineup video.
That picture you have of him displayed is showing weed baggy and a bud chopper. Alot of the pros do smoke but some are better about not filming it or taking pictures of it for a company
It’s hush hush because they are embarrassed to say how much they make as a professional athletes. BMX doesn’t have the big outside sponsors to afford to make those big paychecks.
I committed this, but that is not every sponsored pro rider. I believe the 200 to 400 is just the lower end rider just starting out. Not someone like Nathan Williams or Mike Hoder etc.
It’s worse when you know months in advance some one is getting let go or kicked. Sometimes I’ll be riding and I’ll know. I know I can’t tell them but I always try to help. I feel like bmx pros are like tubes with slow leaks they try to patch a hole over and over and never just change the tube and start over. Being a bmx pro now is way easier then 20+ years ago because the dudes get salaries+royalties+travel budgets and free stuff… You’re getting very close with just thinking on your own very impressive.. keep it up
Was just looking through all your vids for anything about a review of anything from stolen and wasn't finding any..are they no good in you view or just not feeling it?
BMXing is dying and money dies along with that. Nobody should get into BMXing and think they are going to get paid much. Even cult needed the help of an already wealthy bigger named skater to get it going lol, and that was a while ago. "Sell your soul" to mongoose and monster, there is nothing wrong with that. Big corporation companies is where the money is. They are the ones who have the money to pay you. Also BMX is the least popular "extreme sport". Even MTBing is more popular. How does that even happen lol. MTBs are way more expensive and more physically demanding. Probably the people are more welcoming and friendly to beginners, idk. But point is, BMX has no popularity and can't produce money. And in turn can't pay people much to be a "pro". Throw on top of that the fact that a good BMX isn't cheap enough for the average teen or parent of that teen to pay for. Its set up to fail lol. In fact, forget going "pro", just be a high level youtuber and you will make more money and still get sponsors LOL. Or so that seems to work too. Honestly the old ways are dead for everything, just go the youtube route, it's the new way. Man in my kids/teen days, we would have loved something like youtube. We were still trying to collect money to get a cam recorder just to send a video off to companies to try and get sponsored lol. Now you can just record yourself and use youtube. Just do youtube, and if you are good enough and get popular on here, these pro companies will want to sponsor you. But you won't have to rely on them paying you to pay bills.
Dennis Enerson is one of my fav pros. Super chill and throws the most crazy stuff on street park and dirt.
I've seen too many. Scott Cranmer used to be insane! He's still supporting the community as well

Ive been following Casey since he was posting scooter stuff. Dude is wild.
Very athletically talented guy for sure. He's probably good at all sports.

Should I get a jet block? I’m 80 pound my height is 4 ‘10
Companies must be cutting back on customer service can’t hardly get an email response
Hit up flybikes. Customer service is really great and frames/parts look dope.

You’re getting very close with just thinking on your own very impressive.. keep it up
The only fiend part I’ve ever used was a seat I bought. Crashed hard and it broke.
I prefer Full Factory parts too but Ive had good luck with the Blackout stuff Ive used.
