Riding street on a bmx race bike | Featuring Skills with Phil

Box Components sent me this crazy BMX race bike, and I tested it the only way I knew how. With Phil in town for the weekend, you'd better believe we didn't take it to a legit race course.

I just wish everyone could put their hands on that bike so that they could fully understand how ridiculous it is to attempt these jumps onit.... Thermo Nuclear nose dive for the win!! Not gonna lie, I was worried about that rotation XD

[@ucallrt]

In the greater scheme of things and considering today's supercross BMX tracks, where they are jumping 20 foot gaps on asphalt, this is not the least bit crazy.

[@lukahomersham9826]

difference is we are landing on a downslope and is smooth as butter

[@SethsBikeHacks]

Sadly, I had to take the last one with Nate down. As it turns out we were off trail in a few spots.

[@JordanByron]

Seth's Bike Hacks oh no that was one of my favorites! Is it still on Patreon? If you’re reading this and have no idea what we are talking about, Seth did an incredible video with Nate Hills where he followed Nate off of what looked like a vertical cliff of death.

Whenever Seth and Phil get together, you know it's gonna be good. The tandem bike video was one of my all time favorites. Which begs the question.. When will we see you guys hitting a ramp on a tandem ? Challenge given.

Great to see Phil again. Love the sense of fun between the pair of you. More! Phil dirt jumping a fat bike.

[@jedisdad2265]

RedLine, Mongoose, Stroker, MotoMag.were the tools of the late 1970’s. We converted everything to BMX. We jumped anything we could but the “goosenecks” and early bars couldn’t take the impacts. What you guys do today is amazing. At 53, and still riding, I have to tell you, you guys are a reminder of my youth. Once I jumped a JC Penney frame I added Skyline plastic mags to over a 1970 Chevelle. We didn’t even know what helmets were back then.

Phil's laugh brings so much joy lol Dope vid!

[@willbros1499]

I couldn't even finish watching without commenting...gotta go back for the ending. THERMONUCLEAR NOSEDIVE !!! Holy crap...that is HILARIOUS stuff!! Man, watching you guys do this and giggle like a couple of 13 year olds made my day. SO MUCH GREATNESS in this video. Your lead in metal power chord was PERFECT. Dude...everyone out there makes great videos, but yours just have more sparkle than the rest. That took me back to being kids in the early 80's and doing nutty stuff like this constantly with my brother on my Torker with Ashtabula cranks and Tuff wheels! Worst crash ever was we built a ramp and were jumping a wagon and a ditch. IT WAS DARK, because...hey, what could possibly go wrong with hitting ramps at the end of your driveway in the dark right? I made my first run in and at the last minute bailed to go around...not enough speed. Only problem was, I forgot that the HANDLE of the wagon was extended out in front of it. I hit that and went full torpedo OTB mode right into the ditch and bunged up just about every joint in my body for a week or two...but nothing broken. Sucked having to explain that to my baseball coaches. :-)

I started my son on a BMX bike when he was 3 year old and then a Mt bike at 8 and now at 13 he is on the road with me and my wife on the weekend doing easy 18 mile rides. Thank u again.

[@julianandresmunoz8020]

I ridden dirt jumps for most of my life and really enjoy every of your videos, I love your personal inputs into the topics. For this type of bmx street demonstration you should use a short back 20” street bike. Racing bikes geometry are made for fast speed with long back and 74.5 TT for max stability. Maybe you could make another video about the differences between bikes use for vert, dirt jumping, and street. Thanks.

Sweet looking bike and great video of course! Keep them coming.

[@tomasanderson5589]

That bike probably worth a couple grand... me being a bmx racer myself, those bikes can get pretty expensive.

[@jakegarrett8109]

Any high end bike is a couple grand. A set of carbon road bike wheels alone is roughly $3000. If you want a disk wheel (just the back wheel), its usually $3000 to $5000 for just 1 wheel (not counting cassette). To get Shimano Dura Ace or Red groupset is about $1000 as well. A couple grand for a nice BMX like that doesn't seem like too much if you are racing, comparing to road bikes (or mountain bikes). None of them are cheap on the high end.

[@tomasanderson5589]

Jake Garrett I’m aware of that, some bmx racers use disk brakes to get style points, but it doesn’t really play a factor on racing, unless you wanna stop faster. I run box forks, brake cable, and cranks, it’s pretty good.

[@mtadams2009]

I think if you are spending that kind of money on a road bike you better be high end pro or your just a poser. I mt bike with a lot of people who ride super expensive bikes and it seems like they spent a lot of money for nothing. I am not into cheap bikes but at a point you are getting very little benefit for your cash flow. Take care

[@jakegarrett8109]

I don't have carbon wheels (I do have optional disk wheels, made out of the finest cereal boxes and hot glue, spray painted with my University's colors in a spiral pattern). But my road bike is a nice bike because I do enjoy biking a lot, and competing in collegiate races (without the disk wheels, that's just for fun setting personal records around the lake).
