EPIC shirts please!

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.
@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.
@Fishheadmandible same here it's nice being a 90s kid
im 58 and back into BMX. learning about new stems and head sets. glad i found this channel. peace
Welcome to the family 💜
I could listen to phu all day,
He always entertains me and like his style of how he does these videos.
Lol when Alfredo said “everybody spells your name foo”
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.
It’s simply amazing. I always feel like a kid in a toy store :)
Man I wish my local shop was that full of parts... I'm a sucker for shiny new stuff right now..
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.
Love watching Phu in the shop. The real deal :D . Can we get Phu to do a trick a week outside the shop? I really want to see him ride.
Epic videos are always interesting! 👍🏽
Ojos y agree with you more!
Akin lang
I just started watching these videos but I can tell right away Phu loves his audience, has fun making the videos and uses simple termanlogy…err termitonally,,,,WORDS, he uses simple words to describe it to us without all the specs. Love it.
Actually good sir everything you said made perfect sense and none of it was opinion. Its science. You a physics genius and dont even realize it.
Great video 👍🏻 Greetings from County Dublin in the Republic Of Ireland 🇮🇪🤗😉 Love the Videos 👊🏻 Luke
Big shout to my Irish homies!
Alfredo Mancuso The BMX Videos you do are brilliant 😎 I have been watching for a while now 😉 But you Alfredo are the man for BMX 🤙🏻 Luke from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪
Hey im 37 years old a dad. I played bmx when I was way younger but now after watching most of your video make me wanna take my Haro forum 2008 from the garage now coz my whole body is itching. And Epic Bmx u guys are the best!
Definitely get out there, you’ll have a blast!
How’s that going
I can see how passionate you are about bmx, i wish we had shop like that here.
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?
Great video man, thanks.
This helped me a lot
Thanks for infomational video Phu 👍🏼
Nice info 👍🏼
I’m a street guy I run 15mm forks, saving up for that cult 2 short frame with the steeper headtube and short back end, good vid man I learnt to build my own wheels from your how to just the other week ❤️
Epic bro!
Great explanation, Phu needs a channel of his own... just doing tech, I dont ride BMX but street trials, we ride 24" 26" rim wheels and by far the strongest is the three cross pattern
Yes my favorite part again. Always learning
nice! thank you for that stem fork options]
Amazing content great info
Always dropping that Knowledge big Phu!! 🔥🔥🔥
Phu is awesome!!! love these videos keep em coming. cheers
Great video very informative.👌
Shoutouts from the Philippines..
I love these type of videos. I watch every single one.
Damn its thursday already. Stoked. Thanks alf for making thursday epic. Please thank phu for dropping the knowledge I appreciate it
Crazy how fast it came this week!
Alfredo, Phu, Ethan and the rest of the staff, I love your content. I could watch you guys rant on all day. You are very knowledgeable. I am 36 yo and just getting into bmx. 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.
Learning at your own pace is what it’s all about. As long as you’re having fun, that’s all that matters 💜
best bmx conten on the web, helpfully, such a nice guys, Alfredo, Phu and rest of the team.
Thanks so much for the kind words 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
We follow you bro. We're not THAT big of idiots. BTW Fredo, stop rushing our buddy PHU. If he wants to make a 50 min video...RUN IT.
All day!
Definitely know your shit man. Respect 👊🏼
PHU is a legend!
Right on Mancuso!
🤛🏽🤛🏽

My man got me subbed after 1 Vid, keep the knowledge flowing
As always. Love these shop vids. The vibe is just so good.
Always appreciate you 💜
@@AlfredoMancuso thnx dude. Right back at ya 👍🏼
Epic is the best bmx bike shop in OC in my opinion. All he's talking about makes sense now, makes me want to start riding again.👍
Do it!
more PHU!!!!
Got you!
The goose neck mimic is the reason I've been watching the Phu vids like a mf lately. Lol dude is a fucin character
you are a beast Phu
Epic shop vids with Phu are some of my fav! Wish we had a shop like that nearby, they’d have to kick me out lol.
Yeah they'd hate me, I'd be straight loitering.
That Imitation of a goose was the best part
I was tempted to make that a slow mo effect haha
Alfredo Mancuso hey bro I feel like I’ve learned a lot from your channel. You are da man.
this store owner deserves everyone's business.,
💯🙏🏻
id love to see any info/tips you guys might have for tall rider 6.2 and what not
Always enjoy this video's and music bubblegum!🌸😁
Phu, what size frame would you recommend for someone 6'1" 175 lbs? Everyone says 21" TT but I would like to hear what your recommendation is. If you could include all the measurements, stand over, BB hight, TT length, chain stay length. etc.... Thanks! Going to ride park and street some dirt. A little more stable than twitchy.
Man I love a twitchy bike. I have a fit shortcut frame. It’s 20.5tt with a 12.4 rear end. 165 cranks, odyssey r15s, a top load stem with 45mm of reach. I love a nice compact bike that’s super twitchy and responsive
A day at epic always amazes me
My favorite days
I also heard that you can also cut the steer tube down to the length that you need it or debate if you need it that height for your handle bars and tricks.
These are great vids !! 👌👌🤟 phu is the bmx jedi!! 😜
He really is 😂
I used to have those Hoffman bars back in the mid 90's. They were advertised as Haro Knee Savers and it did come in handy when riding street.
Wow that’s some knowledge right there!
@@AlfredoMancuso Not sure if you remember but I sent you some pics of my Chrome Standard Lengthy on twitter. That was the bike I had the knee savers on.
Eric Marcus i do! Super dope!
nice !
I started building my bike the right way cuz of this video
That’s awesome to hear 🙏🏻☺️
@@AlfredoMancuso your the best out there I
Cuz I just been riding around just to see what it feels like then change
Same
Helpful vid
Like ur videos buddy
Love it! People misspelling his name!!
good to know. i always figured a shorter stem could be better for barspins but never heard anyone mention it. im 5'4" and ride a 20.5 frame no idea of the other specs lol
Oh yea man bikes can be setup on a million different ways!
This stuff is true guys pay attention I made a mistake with buying a really short back end at 12.4 and I wasn't good at all for even airing a pyramid at the skatpark
Love your vids really help out a lot and also can you do a video comparing Cult bikes and Premium bikes what's your opinion on them what are the differences and all that please
I personally like the long vlogs 🙏✝️💯🇺🇸❤️ Go Phu !!
I was worried a 20.75 top tube was too big for me. I'm 5'8. I enjoyed the video and hearing the explanation behind things instead of just a simple answer because I don't always understand things when they're put simply. I have to hear a why or how also.
I am more particular with my chain stay length when looking out for frames.
Do you think a sleeper frame w a 33mm pitchfork would be a good all around bike? I ride a cult crew now but I’m looking for more stand over and the 5” head tube. I ride park street, bowls and a little pump track.
Dude Makes A Lot Of Sense. Thanks For All The Info. Another Great Video And As Always Keep Shredding Bro 😎
Thank you for always being positive! 💜
Alfredo Mancuso Most Definitely Brother, That Is My Mission In This World, To Spread Positive Vibes🤙
oooooooooo hell yea!!!!!.... thanks big up
Best setup for beginner? Any tips for finding a good bike?
This was an EPIC video ;)😉
My dudes I have just got black 2 gen ramp room love handles 🤯❤️👍🏻 there patina is exactly the same as my black 03 pro team condor, it’s 43 lbs , some day I have to get it down to y’all for the 40 lbs bike check 😊
Phu seems cool🔥
could u do a video explaning 2 peace and 3 peace and 1 peace cranks and what is stronger to ride and what one is better in your oppinion
Well phu I think you should do a custom bike and sell it in the shop
They build their own customs pretty often. Can’t keep them in stock
More long videos phu is awesome at explaining everything
For a 26in big bike would you recommend 165 cranks to get that snappy feel or what to you think works best at that size
Learn me something Phu! I am about to build up a new ride.
I use my Soundwave frame for everything. And it 21.5.
You must be a taller dude
Gary how tall are you
@@randall3786 6ft
I freakin love it. Cant get enough. Haaaaa
@Alfredo Mancuso How about a video of Phu riding? I think that could be a pretty cool vlog.
You should check offer up let go Craig’slist and eBay for the frame
BMX geometry for me is personal preference. You maybe not that tall but you will prefer a 21" top tube or maybe you're tall but you prefer 20.5 and it's the same on all the parts that you'll get. For me you need to try them all.
question: What do u think about the new flybikes magneto hub system ?
When your bike you left at Epic to get worked on comes out in the video 😁
Make a video on how to lace 5cross wheels.
Condor for skate park, dirt bros patriot for dirt jumps and trials , also got a mint ek wembley #100 on the way , plus same bro is selling me a ek1/ep prototype 🤯I hope that the ek1 prototype is the real deal 🤔or I’ll make an early ep with the bent seat stays and a standing prat from so sweet , I just love old Hoffman bikes ❤
I'm watching from Hungary - kinda far :) but I love you guys. You make such a great videos - learn a lot from these. Love Phu Vu how-to / I-tell-you-guys :D videos. I'm gonna buy my first bike - don't know what kind of, what size, what type....you guys give us a lot with these videos. Thanks.
Haro kneesaver bars self explanatory
I need those hoffman bars, do ya still have them?
Really enjoy the vids with phu. Hope they find the gt and the guy who stole it.
Alvx af frame x angle grinder= 12" rear end
I understand the longer the stem is, you have to compensate for the length of the bars so for that you have to cut them. But as far as the gooseneck mine never moved and bottom piece some look different in case you ever seen the one that looks like a L shape.
Just to add to what pho was saying in a new episode about crushing the steer tube. My stem would come loose to the point I got tired of it and I put lock tight on the stem to keep it from moving.
Any tips to buying a bike 20” for a newbie for a big guy ?
My ideal bike would be a 19” 20” rims short rear end strong rear hub light front hub 9.25” rise bar but I ride reclaimed parts 21” frame 10” bars but I don’t do much I have fun and ride to work and still manage at the local parks but at my age it’s not about spinning 720’s no more or jibbing into tail-whips. But at times I do want short light bike 🤟
It’s been too late my notification but I already ring the bell 😞😞
Hey where is your bikeshop called and where is it at ?
I'd love a shirtd
