Not sure how many of you guys are into downhill BMX but this is my favorite sport. I hope you all enjoy it.

@Brandon: I know you're into skateboarding, I'm curious what you think about downhill?

Watched the whole thing and bookmarked.. I once tried to do stunts on a BMX without the seat because I thought I'd be a pro and start out fresh and live dangerously, slammed the front break out of panic going down these steps with my heart beating all fast and stuff.. back of the bike went up, right in the nuts and I flipped over lmao.. The amount of scrapes I had and bruises was worse than actually breaking a bone.. Excruciating (the feeling like you broke a bone but didn't and you think it'd feel better if it was actually broken).. Never felt so much pain ever (other than in bboying).

I like that video though. Waaaaaayyy better than the Monster Truck Smashing someone sent me (btw, I don't like monster trucks).


Btw, do you ride? Like do you do those stunts? I watch my friend do tricks but I'd never try them myself (again). Should add some more to the OP.

Ouchies… So you were still on the stairs when you wrecked or did you make it to the bottom? I've never tried going without a seat, I usually only see people do that with street bikes, I'm not really into street, just downhill, free ride and big air.

My best friend and I had planned to do some downhill on our local mountain, unfortunately shortly before that I left the country haha… Since being here the only racing I've done so far is small streets, so it's a bit more painful if I mess up. I'm looking for some new local friends and/or mountain biking club I can do some trails with. And i'm in the process of selling my motorcycle to buy a new bike.

By the way, added another video to the OP. Not as great as the first but it's still neat to watch. It's some freeride downhill in some desert areas it looks like.

Not nearly as much as I want to. :tongue: I'd love to start doing that sort of downhill, but I've a ways to go.

Thanks for those. Yeah that sort of biking I'm not much into but I respect the riders for their ability to do stunts like that. The amount of balance you have to have…it takes a lot of balance.
