In this video, I discussed the recommended size for BMX bikes, particularly for new riders getting into the sport for the first time. I shared that while the recommended size is between five foot six and five foot nine, it's important to note that pro riders often ride BMX bikes that are different from what's recommended for them. I explained that the recommended size should be used as a baseline and not a rule set in stone. I also shared that in my experience, I've ridden different sizes of BMX bikes and it was important to experiment with different sizes to figure out what I liked. I also mentioned that as you become more experienced, you will be able to make changes to your bike to make it more specialized and personal for yourself. I also invited viewers to join the BMX near Discord community for more information and to connect with other BMX enthusiasts.

I'm really trying to get my 6.5 year old 50" boy a awesome custom bike. It was a dream as a kid to have an awesome BMX bike but my Dad died when I was young. My day was the Redlines, Robinsons, Haros

I'm 6ft and I have a 20" TT with a layback seat post.

Am 5ft7 i tried my sons 20,5 Mirraco edit. Felt really crap (could be my body geometry that male has vs female. Shorter legs compare to upper body). So i bought a 20,75 - its really night and day. A 20,5 feels really like a kid bike or like the bear on a circus - 20,75 feels more natural.

how tall is your son? i’m trying to figure out if a 20.00 is too small for me, im a 5’2 female

[@bobchapman5495]

Do you think 5 foot 8 inches that my second frame I should try something smaller than a 21in tt?

[@Usueien]

What do I get my 7 yr old boy -- he's approx 48in. I used to ride just the OG bikes in the 80s and 90s -- started at 8... rode different bikes until college -- have no idea what is a good bike these days - seems like most bikes are made with crappy aluminum -- and gone are the days of 100% CM frames unless you spend north of $600+ ... Won't aluminum frames bend when riding hard? Guess it forces you to buy new bikes when you break or bend them... What companies are decent these days that still make quality bikes with quality parts? To give perspective -- I used to ride: GT HARO ROBINSON REDLINE PK TORKER ELF DK SKYWAY DYNO HUTCH back in the day when these 'were' the bikes to be riding -- I have yet to see any evidence that there are any companies left today that come close to the quality that these bikes had for hard use. Suggestions?

I am 6 foot. Schould a 20,75 fit or is 21" better? I am a beginner, so which one should be better to learn tricks and ger Control.

[@turboboboify]

You probably won't notice the difference. Go to your local bike shop, and hop on each of them. I'm 6ft and ride a 20.75.
