      I don’t have the sizing chart, but the epic shorts do run a little larger and are more rectangular than boxie

      If you're wondering what his shirt design is inspired by, search "Dep Gel 80's." Dep Gel was a real popular hair gel from the 80's.

    • @neighborrevenge
      @neighborrevenge 3 роки тому

      @Fishheadmandible I miss how they used to smell! The pink gel was the standard hold and the yellow was the strongest one. I used the green which had the lightest hold just to get my hair in place, then I would hit it with Aqua Net lol.

    This is probably the best stocked BMX specific shop I've ever seen. It's funny that Phu keeps saying that he doesn't know everything when it's obvious he knows his stuff. The name of the shop speaks for itself. Need to pay a visit to check it out myself.

    I'm not going to lie. I assumed most of my performance was based on my athleticism, but knowing about the parts I'm buying really helps with the type of riding I want to accomplish. Also want to add, I been around for a minute watching bmx videos since 2014. So, thank you for your content.

    Question: when would you want left hand drive setup?
    Eg. I grind right side, spin left and ride right foot forward. So what takes priority, my foot forward or protecting my sprocket/chain?
    Does riding a LHD as a right foot forward effect you that much even?

I am to scared to do any of the tricks, but I love to ride my bike around town. I have a FitBike Series One complete that I have been modifying(last bike in my local shop). So these videos help me to pick out the correct parts for the right reason other than just aesthetics. Thanks for all you do.
