In today's video RL is doing a review of the 3 different freecoasters he has been riding since getting back into BMX. He gives the pros and cons of each and explains what kind of riding he thinks each freecoaster is most suitable for. Kind of like the product shootouts the magazines used to do back in the day.
In this video RL covers the Profile Racing Z-Coaster, the BSD Revolution, and the Blacks Ops freecoaster. Not sure of the model name.
We also have some cool prototypes on the way for a custom driver to the BSD Revolution which will allow us to run those hubs with our Big Bikes. More details on that in the video.
Enjoy the video!

    I'm 49 and been riding a coaster for 10 years now. Full slack works fine. Being old you can't control your stance that well when landing big 180's. So full slack is great. Everyone's different though. Good video fellas.🍻

    Great video again! I've been into the freecoasters since 2005 and have bought them all since then. My recent is the Freenight I got when it first came out. The negative is the pedal pressure you don't have when the hub senses it is going I'm reverse. Especially when your doing lip tricks on high quarter pipes ramps etc. and you lose that pedal pressure, if your a rider that likes pedal pressure during these type of tricks. Trying all these freecoaster I always end up going back to my Profile freecoaster hub with Nankai Freecoaster internals. Pretty much 0 slack and is almost like the Black Ops freecoaster if your comparing interals. Only one I have not bought or tried was the Profile. Believe me I bought and worked on them all even if it was not mine and came up with they all have there own positive and negatives best thing is to pick one that is your favorite and work on your freecoaster technique of riding it especially if your trying to progress in your riding. Changing bikes and riding different hubs will only confuse you and you end up making riding mistakes. Ride On My BMX Bros!

    Thank you Joseph. And that is cool to hear from someone who has ridden everything like that. Very interesting how you have the profile setup with different internals. That sounds nice I may have to try that out. Anyways. always appreciate the feedback and thank you again for all the info. Very informative and helpful.

    Great video guys thanks for putting this together. I’m a cassette guy (for now), but if I go to free-coaster, the BSD revolution is probably the way I would go. Maybe the WTP hybrid… decisions decisions. Dylan - the hub guards are to protect the spokes and hub from getting smashed when you don’t quite properly lock the pegs on a grind

    Every once in a while when Dylan turns his head just the right way I would swear I was looking at a 20 something RL. It’s uncanny. I ordered an alienation Venus hub this morning from Albes actually. I was running a Revenge which was INCREDIBLE for the price but I just couldn’t get the slack right. It was doing exactly what you brought up, I would be rolling backwards and it would engage. No bueno. You have me pretty sold on the BSD now, might have to look into one. Awesome vid guys, keep up the great work.
