VIDEO Brian Yeagle in Anthem II - Surely one of the best intros ever?

303 Upvotes

Can anyone answer why, when a high quality version of Anthem II gets uploaded, it gets deleted within a month? I ask the question because this has been going on for 10+ years now. The only account that's had the Anthem sections for 15+ years? garretreynolds420, low quality but kinda just alright enough to get by... conspiracy?

Took my son to FISE Shanghai over the weekend to catch the action live. He’s been obsessed with riding lately, so seeing the pros in person was an absolute dream come true for him.

The crowd energy was electric, but the highlight was definitely when he got to take a picture with his favorite rider. Huge respect to all the pros taking time out to chat and snap photos with the younger generation!

Unforgettable day for the kiddo and honestly, for me too.

Gotta love collaboration!

These bikes will be fixed up and given to new potential park riders, or little kids to get them on a bike!

But, I have 2 completes with no names on them, but they have this logo in the last picture. Anyone know the logo?

It's starting to get cold in our region. The first snow fell the other day. The temperature dropped to -4 at night. It's good that we have an indoor skate park. We're moving there.
I took a few shots over a couple of days of riding.

DISCUSSION Kids sizing help

3 Upvotes

Looking for a bike for my kid. He’s 4ft 2in and about 50lbs. I’m thinking a 16” but they’re had to find used around me. I know mfg recommends 18” based on his sizing but I think it would be too big. He’ll be 8 next summer.

Currently races a 20” junior bike but wants to get into park riding as well

Would you hold for a 16? Or just get an 18?

DISCUSSION Crank arm length

1 Upvotes

My current crank arms are 175mm but I’m looking to go down to a 160mm to make it easier to get my knees out the way for barspins and x ups among other things, I ride mostly bowls and skateparks/ transition so I’m not pedaling around much at all, is there any disadvantages to going even shorter than 160 and having something that is really short?
For context I broke my back pre covid and only in the last couple of years have I been getting back to riding both bmx and mtb and because of the injury my hip and leg mobility isn’t as amazing as it was before which is making it difficult to get my knees out the way of my bars for the aforementioned tricks. Thanks in advance for any advice or recommendations!
Edit: I’ve seen cranks for 16 and 18” bikes as short as 140 and 120mm and I would be looking to go down from a 28t to a 25t or even slightly lower to still have a decent ammount of torque to be able to do tire taps etc

Was at my LBS and saw these. How lucky did I get? I’ve never seen this color before. Shop owner said they were 1 of 25 pairs. Either way I got em brand new with 10% off. Considering I couldn’t find them online I assume it was just dumb luck? Just thought they were dope and I’m stoked to have them and had to share.

Most of my attempts end up around 90 because of tire rubbing. Even copious amounts of wax don’t help with this. Any advice would be appreciated, and thank you in advance!

Im finally giving myself the time to start to ride after 20 years!

Im testing out my cortisone shot in my knee as I do this. I got to say, im feeling good 3 sessions into it and no major problems. Swelling but ice has been helping that.

It feels good to have fun on a bike again. Now im looking for the old guy crew to ride with.
