What? You’ve got to love Phu, he’s so straight forward, open and knowledgeable.
Dont worry phu we love you 😂
Hahaha......seemed like Phu was talking about me when I started the whole journey for my son's BMX bike. Bought online, had Phu fix it, later find out it was wrong geometry for him, Phu built a whole custom bike for him.......now he shreds better than ever lol. Get cool with your local bike shop.....Phu isn't kidding when he says you'll probably break your bike when you don't know what you're doing lol.

Break how ?
Thanks for the knowledge phu ! As always very much appreciated.
Walked in right after the video ended and bought myself a freecoaster. Alf and Phu are the men to go to. Great service and great vibe
I learned how to ride on 20 in. BMX when I was five, my father owned a restaurant & he said 2 teens went in ordered/ate and bailed w/o paying leaving the bike behind he thought it might be stolen but he brought it home & it was love at 1st sight for me. I would graze my little jewelry on the top tube but that didn't stop me I climbed it/crashed it and learned how to ride!
I love your videos & all of your information. It is extremely helpful. I sincerely thank you for it Phu
Great videos keep em coming, learning alot. Just got back into building and riding after almost 30 years. A lot has changed. I still enjoy building 90s bikes. But keeping my kids bikes dialed is New to me but I’m learning.

Bro I'm 43 and just got back into BMX, entry level bikes are better than the pro stuff we could never afford back in the day 😂
Love these bmx informational vids!
I'm 6'1" ride 20" and love it ! They can always be adjusted to fit in less your e 7' something. It's all on your style of riding, I've seen people my size cramped on a tiny 12" and skooling it! Just like nobbies are for dirt riding and slicks are for street.
You are absolutely correct my friend, I grew up in the 80s riding a mongoose and it hurt to watch the much younger kids struggle trying to reach the pedals.
“Shut up back there Tucker”😂
All videos you upload with sir phu.i'm learn a lot and getting ideas about bmx.Tnx a lot for this sir alfredo.I hope both of you can tackle about the chromly and alloy and metal that use to our bikes.Thnk u a lot.🇵🇭👊🏻
Thanks for the info bro
Love your videos!!
Two epic videos this week. Awesome I'm very grateful... ooooohhh I'm dying for the beef. Would be perfect content for a live stream at epic. I'll even send some pizza
Great sizing tips! I agree on buying local if you can, I buy parts at Epic, but if need be, building and tuning a BMX from the box is pretty simple really.
Thank you I needed this I’m trying to by a bmx bike and I think I found the one but this helps even more
Recently got into bmx love your vids they help a lot I know a lot more about the hobby an bikes in general now wish I had a bike shop like your near me in the uk
You are exactly right! I was going to get a 29” and was told what you just said and I got a GT Dyno 24” and I couldn’t be happier!

Good information and breakdown of bike sizes here. I haven’t rode a bike on a long time and was looking to get back on one. I came into Epic BMX with a 29” in mind. Phu and the crew at Epic took their time to help me find the right bike. I love my 24”. It’s true what he said. It’s about getting the right size and learning to ride and just having fun. Thanks Phu and everyone and Epic BMX! You guys rule!

I NEED THAT SHIRT RIGHT NOW!!!
Love videos talking about size and what people ride but what I would really like to know is alfs top tube length because you can get many lengths with 20 inch wheels
What a great video. Trying to make a decision for my Grandson. Bikes have come a long way from the old days of the original Mongoose.

Hello can you do a vid about bmx helmet? Im a newbie and I want to get serious about riding so I want to get the best safety gears needed. Thank you so much.
From the start I knew my son's body was 155cm and now he is using 20 inches. I tried to use 18 inch she said it was more comfortable 20 inch because I got used to it from the start. and it gives him trouble getting tricks
Is the free agent vergo a good bike?
I’m 5.5 feet is okay if a buy a 20.75 inch top tube BMX bike.( Help me )
Sweet! I just picked up a 95 gt pro

Dam good advice.
So how tall do u have to be to ride a 24inch
How can i Order Online...for Bmx Beginner for daily Service....hm?
All the shops near me don’t know how to put a bike together if you buy a complete all the bolts are loose and it’s not greased. I tried getting a wheel relaced he wanted to charge 150 just for labor.
It is crazy that the demand is so much higher then the supply with bicycles right now. After market used prices are even really high. My wife bought my kid a used om-duro. I said why didn't we just spend a lil more for a new one. My kid laughed. He said their just aren't any new ones. They been gone. I looked em up & was shocked. They been gone bro along with anything similar. All pre-orders with non guaranteed shipping dates. Unreal. Even walmart bike racks are still empty.
Is elite bmx a good bike for beginners?
Where is this bikeshop
I like the choice between 20 inch an 22 inch wheels! Frames are close to each But I feel the 22 inch wheels you get better rolling results ! My opinion

My son is 7, he can acctually ride a 18" just fine. The 20 is still too big for him.. But i got him a 16" cult. It fits him perfect and he can try to start doing tricks when hes ready.
I've raced pit bike class racing BMX years ago on a custom 18" Brew pit bike sized for an adult. Thing was mad sexy, painted metallic candy red 🍒
Hey leave Phu alone! Keep up the good work guys👍👍
hi quick question. i'm 6,3 and was thinking to buy a 24" sunday does that work? thanks all

20 inch tire is fine its the tob tube frame size I have a issue my cousin gave me a haro f2 I thought it was a 20.3 til I got there and realized it was a 18.75 size its to small for me im 5ft7 ish
I love you Phu ❤️
While everything you say here is true, there is also a subjective part of Bmx sizing. For example, me and my friend are both around 5’2 and we both ride completely different feeling bikes. Ive got JACKED bars, 4 spacers, top load stem, and 9.5” rise. He’s got 8.25” bars, a pretty low top load stem, and no spacers. To me, his bike feels totally alien, and he feels the same way about mine.

Little Junior that gets too big a bike ends up not getting into BMX, but ends up getting into mountain bikes instead. Then he comes back to BMX when he's fat, old, and not dependent on Santa anymore LOL
In all fairness when it comes to the average parent to child their goal is not to dine $4-700 frequently. They probably have the mindset of oh he can just grow into it. Great information and I agree. They need to put 30.9mm and up seat posts on them the run more common dropper posts. Yea it’s bmx but they are also great commuters in tight spaces. Great video thank you.
I'm 5'-7". Started on a 20.5 TT. Then went to a 21" TT. I fall between 20.75/21

So what size should I get? I wanna buy a BMX for the first time. I have around €1000 to spend. I'm 28 years old, weigh 86kg and 193cm tall. That's 189.6lbs and 6"3. What frame size should I get? And do you suggest a Freecoaster or a Casette? I ride a normal bike everyday to work, never ride a BMX bike before.

Definitely a cassette as a beginner, much easier to learn on. You can def go for a bike with 22“ tires. If you go for 20“ tires, get at least a 21“ TT, at your size probably the longer the better. You should easily find decent complete bikes within your budget, no worries. Probably, you can keep some money on the side for possible upgrades like grips, pedals or pegs.
