SHORTY SEEKING SHORTY
Dear BMXperts,
Hey, I’m a fully-grown, short rider at only 5-foot. I find a 20” top tube length too big for me, but I can’t find anywhere that does anything smaller than that, unless it’s a kid’s bike. In which case it weighs a ton. I’m looking for a lightweight BMX with a frame suitable for my height. Any advice?

I don’t know why I like him, he is just so awesome. Daniel, keep doing what your doing.

WHAT’S A SAPIENT?
Dear BMXperts,
I’m just getting into BMX and I learned how to pro hop on my friends DK. Anyway, I am trying to save a few bucks I searched Craigslist for a bike at a great price and found a Sapient Mx1 for $80. I thought it would be a good price so I could still afford to customize and upgrade it. Was it a good choice? Thanks guys!

OH, IT’S CRAPPY
Dear BMXperts,
Hey, my name is Joseph and I want to learn how to BMX. I have a Mongoose Outer limit with two sets of pegs on it, brake pads on both wheels and a kickstand on it. My friends say that it is a crappy bike and I do too. If you think it is crappy, and be honest, tell me what kind of bike I should get for a beginner. If you don’t, then tell me what modifications I should make. Also, I need to know how to start to BMX, like where to start or what trick I should begin with. Keep up the good work with the magazines, and e-mail me back. Bye!

BIKE FOR 6’6” RIDER
I need help on finding a bike and I don’t know what I need. I’m a big guy about 6 foot 6 and I don’t know if I should get a bike with a 21 inch top tube or bigger. I have ridden bikes before and I like pretty much all styles of riding street, vert, you name it I’ll do it. I was wondering if there was a certain type of bike good for this. I don’t want to spend a whole bunch of money on this id like to keep it under $400. Any help you could give me would be great thanks.

BENT FORKS
I bent my forks on my stolen riot this weekend and I am wondering what would be the best route for me to take. I think it has a standard headset and all the forks I have looked at say they are for integrated headsets only. If you could let me know what to do that would be great.

DOUBLE PEG GRINDS
Hi, my name is Chris Chan. I am 13 years of age. Over in Michigan, winter is done and spring is just settling in. I have managed to get some street sessions in with my bros, but one thing I just can’t get is a double peg grind. I am pretty sure it’s like a bunny hop (Front wheel up, then fallow up with the back end) but I’m not sure and I knew you were the guys to go to in a situation like this. Keep it up,
Chris Chan Miller.
