BMX IS DEAD!

Epic BMX's resident historian ( / _epicbmx ) Phu Vu gives his argument on the current state of the BMX industry. BMX is dead is a thesis that a lot of people have shared over the last few years, but is the pastime that hundreds of thousands of bicycle enthusiasts over the world agree?

I’m 48 years old, living in the UK. Just bought myself a bmx. Haven’t ridden one since I was about 10 years old. Super stoked. Age is just a number fellas 👍

[@timspencer289]

53 in the UK here. I buy up BMX that people have given up on, restore and replace parts, ride them, then sell them to fund the next one. Too old to ride hard now but I still give it a go. Just being out on a freshly finished ride makes me happier than almost anything else.

[@TheKernowcowboy]

50 in the UK and still into BMX even if my knees aren’t 😂

[@MiniBlueDragon]

45 here and UK too. Got my little United Supreme delivered a week or so ago, my son has a 2nd hand to grow into (he's 8) and my daughter (6) rides her little bike *like* it's a BMX. lol.

[@bmxriderforlife1234]

Hell yea dude! Some of the oldest riders I know slay the hardest. Because they're smart and don't take overly risky reward situations and just steady progress. Muscle helps too especially if you come from the era where kids completes being like 34lbs was normal. So glad I came at the end of that .-.

[@clarkesuperman]

@@E39CHRIS maybe the magazines and the KZbinrs are failing, and I can see that, but the sport itself is alive man. It’s never been easier to get parts. When I was coming up if your town didn’t have a special bmx store run as a passion project you were shit outta luck. Now you can go to any cycle shop or big box store and get bmx wide tubes and other parts. You still get the odd boomer who tells you to “get a grown up bike” but the skateparks are packed man. Kids have accessibility to the sport like never before and that’s what’s awesome. They don’t have to buy a magazine to look at other dudes, they can do it themselves

Dejé el bmx por 3 años y ahora me doy cuenta que no solo pasó en mi ciudad, si no en todos lados ha disminuido el consumo de bmx, pero vendrán nuevas generaciones, todo estará bien

[@dantediss1]

Riding bikes mid 90s to early 2000s was the highlight of my life. Spending weekends in the city with names like Taubin, sammon, delrosa, grimaldo, wormz, etc etc... riding the Animal warehouse .. going to FBM jams... shady Demos .. filming with Scerbo backflipping up Rutgers College 6 set just to get the crew motivated to have a jam session, riding the park with Cranmer, cruising asbury park at 3am with Dom Biro and the Rodeo Peanut crew, chilling with Tunney... then BAM, scene goes underground and NOW, is just an OD biggest Trick thing. Wish the old days would make a comeback. Even if they do not... i still have my awesome memories. And some of the greatest days of my life.

[@blueboyroland6450]

It’s crazy to think almost 2 years ago I bought my first ever bmx bike at this shop and it was a cult gateway and bmx really changed my life back then I would just stay home play video games and wouldn’t go out at all but I remember getting my bmx and meeting new bmxers at the skate park out In la habra but all I can say is Bmx really changed my life I’m always outside day n night just riding wit friends.

[@TheDwightMamba]

We are being priced out of the sport. The last bike I built cost $850 before I started. When the dust settled, I added another $1,500 to the tally. Although I love that bike, every time I look at it, all I see is a car. Loved Scotty Cranmer calling out the tricks live. What a banger. I support, but the money is starting t9 be spent on other hobbies.

[@dzsi8695]

I used to ride every day for more than 5 years then i blew my knee. I had 2 surgery, and just bought a bike but it doesn’t feel the same. Now its scares me. Be careful guys, have fun and always wear protection!

[@timspencer289]

I had a bad fall a couple of years ago and I can't ride how I used to. It takes too long to heal at this age. I keep it low, slow and simple, but I still hit the ramps (low impact, just flow and air) and will never get off my BMX. Never.

Today our trek rep came in and threw a fit that mine and the mechanic had our bmx bikes on the sales floor. Side rant… the internet has killed a lot of culture

Completely agree with you.BMX is alive and well.Plenty of bike meets, plenty of OLDER riders who’ve gotten back into it.I’m 57 and STILL into BMX(I have a 2005 REDLINE 24”).There’s Still too much snobbery against BMX, even after all these years.Even from those within the bicycle industry,people who should know better.😾

[@Deetroiter]

I wish I had my old bike back…DK SOB, maxis max daddy tires, BFR wheels, lil devil forks, and a gt 3 piece crank with the gt fireball sprocket. I was mostly riding in the late 90s. My favorite bike I ever had was my first new bike I saved up for months to buy…specialized fatboy y-frame. The red with flame seat and zebra fabric pad for the top bar.

Speaking of events, do you (Epic BMX) hold an event? If not, maybe you should, do something every few months or annually to not only promote the shop but BMX as a whole

Downhill , general MTB and DJ has taken over here in Scotland. Not alot of kids ride BMX anymore there all on hardtail MTB or super expensive enduro/downhill rigs

[@Vekurus]

I don't see BMX bikes anymore. I see E bikes and electric scooters. Kids have no muscle mass or endurance these days. I have to think you have a very old viewers base. Lots of nostalgia watchers cruising KZbin looking for old memories. I know I have. Every now and then I get the bug to restore my BMX bike, old Elf frame/fork with lots of GT parts. Missing GT chain (ones with the holes in them), bad hubs, bad pedals, missing crank bolts (Peregrine). I honestly should just sell off what parts aren't junk. Wonder how much I could get for an 88' Elf XL frame and fork? BMX must be regional now. TX, it's dead. (or too hot? lol)

Yeah BMX is more expensive to get a good bike than a board. That automatically cuts out part of kids getting into it.

[@adam19890911]

Bmx might be big in South Cali, but I think is faded very much in the 2012-19. The fall started with the closerure of the brooklin banks. And in other places the homeless crisis killed of the spots.

[@Vekurus]

The tolerance for riders, whether races looking for some dirt to thrash on behind a store, or a Freestyler handling some steps/railings. With Cell phones, copers are a call away. Very sad.

[@michaels8607]

Have YOU been throwing BMX related events? Do you really sell BMX bikes or just complain ?I rode road bikes, mountain bikes and I still skate. here's the thing. it's about getting sponsors and getting shops to offer something to the public. I stopped going to my regular here in the Bronx because all he did was sell bikes and parts. He did not sponsor us, and he shafted me out of $400, so he can kiss my azz. To call people lazy is fine yet we can also call you just as lazy for not moving BMX forward. I do look online yet I always bought bikes in the shops. You also have to account for the limits of BMX. It's not ideal for long distance rides, it thrives on short rides, BMX tracks, and freestyle riding/tricks. Here in NYC it's a LOT if fixed wheels, road bikes, and some mountain bike spots. I only know of one manmade BMX dirt track made by the local riders..

I was just searching for my youth I guess. But just this winter I decided to start building a old school build just for the fun of it. It’s awesome and near done. If it can ever be.

[@brandonmccook9335]

BMX is NOT DEAD! it's evolving. I have been involved since 1982/83. 7 years ago I founded 308 BMX in Nebraska because the scene in the Mid West seems to have dropped off a bit. In Nebraska we currently have 3 tracks on the East side of the state and one of them is poorly ran so it doesn't get a lot of action or attention. We are in the process of fundraising for not only a USA BMX sanctioned track but also a 1 acre asphalt pump track. My hope is that North Platte Nebraska becomes a mecca for Mid West BMX and skateboarding! It's not dead, it just has to be marketed differently! I love your comments about the magazines and DVD/VHS. It's a new world and we as pioneers have to and MUST ADAPT! I am 52 now and I just built a 2006 SE 24" Floval Flyer to hopefully compete again with. I haven't raced competitively in 30 years.

I gave up BMX and started skateboarding again sorry. I still like BMX but honestly it’s super hard to get quality BMX gear anymore especially from a local shop where I live.

I am sorry. No one likes to ride anymore. Everyone is on ebikes. Anything that takes physical effort has gone down
