What Size BMX Bike / Frame Do I Need?

How to tell what size BMX bike / frame you need based on your height!
Once you've learned what length frame you need, check out this video about frame geometry to learn what all of the numbers and measurements actually mean! - bit.ly/bmxgeometry
The topic of frame size based on height is something I get asked about quite often so hopefully this video can help give some insight on that.
Shout out to Kink BMX for making these graphics years ago and for BMX Union for keeping them online in their post while they aren't on Kink's site anymore!
Thank you for choosing to spend your time watching one of my videos!

    “What size bike should I get “ is the question I get asked more than any other that I have no idea how to answer, great idea to do this!

    I'm just getting into it. Before looked into much and had just decided to get a bike I got a micargi maze 20"tt and felt squished. After looking into it more I got a 21" bike and it feels so comfortable

    Joy of Bike's channel has an interesting measuring tip they call "RAD" which measures from the bb to the handle bar that should atleast be equal (or +/-) to your foot planted on the ground up to your fist when you stand up.

    Does a 21’ top tube length still fit for 5,3/4?

    Wish my buddy AL would see this video. Been telling him he's too short (5'5) for a 21"tt. Its comfortable he says. I say you're struggling to move that thing around and you're limiting what you can do I told him. I also thing he rides a 21tt because he's compensating for something else. I'm 5'9 and have ridden everything between 20tt and 21tt. 20.5 is perfect for park and street. 21 works best for me on dirt. Good video Brant. Hope it helps those in search of that sweet frame length that we desire to enjoy bmx to the fullest.

    Also it's worth mentioning a layback seat post. I'm 6ft on a 20TT frame. Without the layback seat post my knees would be too close to the bars.

    Hi. A Redline John Purse signature series frame. 4130 big block is good for a 11 year old?

    I’m 21, 5’5, and I went from 160 back in 2019 to 250 rn in 2022, can anyone recommend a good starter bike? I honestly just got bored of the gym and I used to ride bikes all the time when I was younger but never a bmx bike. Just looking for a bike that I could use riding around the neighborhood, also a new skate park opened up in my city so I’m looking to check that out too
