Do you have any advice for kids starting out in BMX? Riding bikes is fun so don’t get mad. Learn bike control first then start doing some tricks.
When did you first get into BMX and what size Bike did you ride? 4 years old, micro mini race bike then a super small 16″ BMX
When you steal your brother’s 18″ and take it for a ride, do you think about moving up a size? Sometimes, but my FBM is a big 16″ and fits perfect

Fork: 18″ but for my 16″. Haha, that’s what my dad said so you have to ask him how or why it works.

Name:
Do you have any plans for moving up to a 20 inch BMX?
Rear Tire:
BMX Groms caught up with Ryan Slusher, an 11 year old shredder from California who is lucky to be riding the new Sunday BMX prototype Radocaster 18 inch frame. Every detail on his ride is totally dialled in and we thought it would be super useful for all the groms out there to check out this setup. (Just be careful you don’t drool on your keyboard too much.)
You are riding the new Sunday Radocaster frame and fork. How does it feel?
Brakes:

My name is Anthony Duffy and I am 13 years old. I come from a town called BannockBurn in Stirling, Scotland. My first bike was a 20″ which I rode for months, then i was given a chance to test out the very first 18″ Trailorpark and I am now riding the BSD 18″ version of Kriss Kyle’s signature frame, ‘The Passenger’ in trans gold.
Cranks: black BSD substance cranks 165mm.
