You probably don’t know but I rode a Macathur bmx track in Australia

Awesome Macarthur BMX in Australia!! Can you send Vegimite if Shane doesn't?

A lot of great tips, I’m riding a specialized 2015 diverge.(aluminum material frame )since it was new, it’s always had the tendency to give me feedback of flex through the rear portion of the bike while riding. Should I be concerned and how long should I expect this frame to last?.. I recently converted this to a mid drive E-bike and now I really feel that flex and I’m concerned that it’s gonna snap in half or is it just flex? Thank you for your time, sir.

Rockstar Energy Park, Houston Tx

[@SupercrossBMX.]

That place is awesome! You are so lucky!!

[@Jackbaker99]

I wish that was my local track

Did you know , that Vegemite’s main ingredient is Yeast , and they get it from what’s left in the Beer vats after it’s brewed and emptied out , so your basically getting beer in your Vegemite lol 😅😅

[@SupercrossBMX.]

Hahaha , good random fact…

[@gotmoto]

I was wondering, why not use 7068, 7075 or 2024 for frames?

[@SupercrossBMX.]

Frames need to typically be a weldable alloy, and 7075 isn’t a conventionally weldable aluminum,

I am going to ride @Capital City BMX

[@SupercrossBMX.]

Awesome! There's one for Capital City BMX!

[@nomdeguerre13]

I know my RS7 was a real beauty. Now.... how about those RCR rims???? Oh.... #steelisreal especially with my SX carbon cranks and bars

[@mikeyseibert1406]

I’m right in between rockstar and desoto

[@SupercrossBMX.]

Cool! Which one is your favorite?

[@mikeyseibert1406]

@SupercrossBMX I like the bmx track at Desoto better because it's more fun for me. I'm a 45 year old intermediate who just got back on the bike 2 months ago. After a 15 year hiatus from even owning a bike. Watching dudes like kj and Barry got me motivated. Rockstar the bike park is Awesome but the bmx track there is big. It's so big it's not necessarily fun for someone of my age and skill set. That could change as I progress. I just raced my 1st 2 races. I didn't make the main at gold cup Saturday. But I made the main and got 5th at Sundays state race. And I can pump to the top of the coping in the big bowl at Rockstar. A month ago I couldn't stand up in the Gate. So maybe I'll like the Rockstar track better in a few months

[@hoytoutdoors]

I WAS AT DESOTO BMX!!!

[@SupercrossBMX.]

Nice , you are lucky, that cover at Desoto is amazing! Great crew out there keeping BMX alive!!

Rum river bmx isanti MN

[@SupercrossBMX.]

Great Track!! And People out there!!

[@SuperEddietv]

Local is an hour and a half away. It's kind of why I fell out of racing 35 years ago. ORL BMX. I have a teleportation device now so I can be there instantly. 😁Still sketchy on aluminum and you guys dont have much in a pro XL. Want to buy something for my 200 pound body. Hint hint!!

[@SupercrossBMX.]

Sorry your Local is so far away... but I bet it's fun when you make the drive.... And Aluminum, don't be sketchy on it. It is GREAT, but I get what you are hinting at... as they say, the old timers love that saying of Steel is Real.... But at 200lb, you are a lightweight for modern aluminum....

[@dboon6792]

I'm sitting at 240 riding on XXl (not a supercross but waiting Patiently to buy one) Aluminum frame , Steel or Aluminum just get out there and ride ..

[@SuperEddietv]

@@dboon6792 Im riding an 87 Boss pro, Need a new bike. Vintage is sketch after not serioisly riding for over 30 years. DX pedal failure and found some HT platforms by the skin of my teeth. Cant find anything. Want to race again but I cant get a bike built. Thats all....lol

[@fifteenbmx9051]

Stout is on the way haha

[@SupercrossBMX.]

Thank you Lar!!

[@georgedavid3815]

Thanks but I dont care about the fact that aluminum is cheaper and recyclable. I still prefer chromoly steel for its strength and ride quality.

I was at home!😅
