    If you have 3-piece bmx cranks and do maintenance on them: keep the sprocket on the axle exactly where it was before. I learned this just recently but if you remove it and replace it arbitrarily, it will start to creak and develop play. It will anyways but keeping the sprocket in the same spot on the axle will help it last longer.

    Get straps or go clipless, also learn it on a lower ratio first. Skid stops without foot retention are nearly impossible at those ratios just because you can’t get the torque necessary
