The Ultimate Handlebar Positioning | BMX Basics

[@Freedom-cd8dr]

I used to ride with vertical I just changed it to standard today and the bars look so far back even tho their not and now my knee is like an inch away from hitting the bars but I changed it because people were saying how far forward my bars are

[@mohammad.nazam.7947]

Thanks that helped me.

i been riding kid position not knowing how important handlebar positioning is, i've only noticed when i been practicing bunny hops and manuals for a while and because i'm a noobie and the bike's new they moved back significantly and so when i looked up this video, after trying it for half an hour it made everything much easier.

Nice, I’m glad it helped.

When I was bmxer I had the dirt jumper but after I changed to standard.. But also I still have my bmx but I'm not riding it anymore BTW nice video

[@DanyoSports]

Good to know! Thanks for sharing!

Chicago feels good my knee hit the bars on anything further back

[@ii1189]

How do u bunny hop like that,great vid buddy!

[@sweetpeters]

I ride a 26" BMX in between Standard and vertical rn. I'm tall so more room and control feel fine. Might switch back to standard to feel the difference again.

[@Low-effort-individual]

Between standard and vertical currently but that’s because I’m riding a flatland bmx I just finished building might get a new head stem and see how I go In a few weeks already spend to much money one 1 bike lmao

[@blvckphillip3917]

I'm from Chicago.... So you know how I'm coming.

[@BlueTrane2028]

I have some old school bikes with like 18" top tubes. Vertical is good on those. Anything 20" or longer in top tube goes standard.

[@MusicByVolts]

Using vertical rn, might switch to standard tho

[@tigershav]

i have a pretty small bmx and was using standard before but switched to vertical today. turning feels very weird and not sure where to put my weight, any tips?

[@DanyoSports]

The frame is too small for you, it’s best to get another bike or switch back to standard position and ride with it.

Vertical position. Long arms on 29er.

[@wesbeplayin]

I like Chicago but mostly just for cruising

[@sn0fx]

Your "standard" test is more forward than parallel, but it's better that way (parallel sucks). Vertical will give the most stability and control, and parallel should only really be run by kids DJ is slightly back because ideally your frame is way too long
