Dear BMXperts,
Hey, my name is Nick, I’m 17 and I live in Minnesota. Just bought a Stolen Riot and it came with a one-piece crank and unsealed bearings. I am wondering if it is possible to put sealed bearings in it, and if that is something I could do or would I need to bring it in to a shop. Thanks

Hi,
My name is Diego, I am 10 years old and I just can’t seem to do a bunny hop. I can do a wheelie and turn my wheel when I am up in the air, but that does not seem like much. BMXing is my favorite thing to do and I would like to get better. Thanks.

Dear BMXperts,
First off, my name is Brandon, I’m 13 and I’ve been riding for 3 years! I love the mag, but I have one question about drivers. I have a 2010 Fit Prk 1 that needs a new driver and I was wondering what kind of driver to get. I don’t know what to get because I can’t find any drivers that Fit made for my bike. Great job on the mag keep up the good work.

Dear BMXperts

I was wondering how to get more air coming out of a quarter pipe and how to roll over a spine when it’s on an angle or triangle shape?
Thanks for reading and hopefully answering my question.

Hi I’m “Bubbles” (changed to protect the identity of the writer) and I am 12 years old. I don’t BMX but I love the mag. . I scooter and I hate when people make fun of me for no reason, just for scootering. I think it’s about the same as BMX. I am a very small dude, so it’s hard for me to ride BMX because I don’t have much muscle for it. I do love to ride on dirt tracks and in the marsh and stuff but I can’t do any tricks. I think you should put a section of tips and tricks for scooters in the magazine. Thanks alot –“Bubbles”

Dear BMXperts
I am a racer and I have heard that the ABA will be going with the random start cadence for all classes in a year or something like that. Does his mean I am going to have to relearn my gates? Why should I have to change, I am not a Pro nor am I going to the Olympics. I am 28 and could use one less headache in life.

What year did you get your first bike and how old were you and what type was it and where did you buy it?

Hey BMXperts,
I have a detangler on my bike and I was wonder if I could remove it and use a single cable as my brake cable, and have my brakes still work? Also, do brakes work better with a gyro or no gyro?

Hey BMXperts,
My name’s Corey, I’m 12 years old and I just got my new bike. I’ve been doing some riding with it and I just can’t get my roll backs down. I was wondering if you guys could give me any tips on my roll backs to help me land one.
THANKS,
Corey, St. Catharines, ON

Sup guys, I’m 13 and I’ve been riding for 7 months now, I cant 180, I can get the spin and the hop but I cant land without falling over. Every time I try I bend my rims. Can you give me some advice on how to land it with out falling?
Thanks,
Corvette S.

Dear BMXperts,
I am an OK rider but don’t know a lot of tricks and my parents don’t let me ride far from the house so I can’t go to the park or the jumps without my parents with me. What can I do to get better, because I never will like this?

Dear BMXperts,
I just picked up your magazine because I’m getting into BMX. I know practically nothing about it because I am converting from skating. Actually I am a girl skater with a cross-country scholarship that can’t afford another sprained ankle; broken wrists are a little easier to deal with. So I went out and got a bike off of craigslist. I should have done more research first because I am stuck with a real crappy GT bike now and no money to play with. I will use this for now but really, where do I start? Like what tricks, and how welcoming are bikers to newbies…especially girls? When I started skating I had to go super early in the morning when it was freezing to avoid being kicked out of parks.
