Built a fresh Cult Hawk frame and got in a quick park session. Broke my chain and battled the wind, but neither put a damper on that new frame feeling.
I love your videos Dan, they're so chilled but still have heaps of rad, smooth, everyday riding. I like watching that sort of stuff more than banger after banger after banger most of the time. thanks for making the vids mate.
You deserve more likes and subs for sure! Your videos are always so clean and well put together. Always been a fan of your style and riding. I follow you on everything and literally lost my mind when Cult dropped your welcome video haha. My friend Joel Pierazek told me he met you and had nothing but good things to say about how solid of a person you are and how you absolutely kill The Unit in person. Just wanted to share how stoked I am on all of your hard work. Keep making BMX interesting and relevant!
Oh man, I got absolutely brutalised the last time I did that nose 180 number. Guess hangin up at the top of that trick is a real bad idea.. especially @ 5 dock! Speaking of though, man you shredded that place! I never seen anybody cruise the joint into the 10s like that before.. and in the flesh none the less. Awesome stuff from a quality dude.
Vancouver has some gnarly ones! You got it though. Hit it at an angle so the entire length of your bike doesn't have to go straight over it. Then as soon as your front wheel goes over the top, push it right back down into the other side. Practice flying out of a quarter that's the same height, pretending you're hitting the spine. Don't hesitate, it's not too bad once you do it.
I use a bent 14mm axle with flattened end to remove the BB, and to put it back the same as *'lauserlu'* says (below) jejejeje super useful, quick and trusty. If you only got a hammer, please use a piece of wood to put it on or take it out... [don't forget the bearing spacer] By the way, sick bike!!! love the color of that frame! (the "greenish sea foam hammered" one too)
best tip to put your BB in a new frame: if you have an old axle from a hub lying around, use some BB washers and the 17mm bolts on the axle by tightening them up slowly from both sides to make them slide in the bb shell, you wont harm the BB this way.
Practice for sure. It took a few tries to get that one too. Just try to find stuff that's a little scary to hop up and make yourself do it. It'll make you more comfortable with stuff and then the manuals will come naturally.
Hey DF, you should not hammer the BB bearings directly. Best to use a pure of wood or rubber if none cardboard on top of the bering. Then u van hammer it. That will be a SAFE practice and avoid damaging the bearings and have a balance insertion in the BB tube.
If you like chicken pastry you'd probably love chicken and sweetcorn soup. Super simple just chicken, egg, sweet corn, a chicken stock cube and some soy sauce👌🏻
He's like the Peter Mckinnon of BMX! Also for all those (including myself) that don't have a rubber mallet on hand to install BB bearings with I just use a regular hammer and a 2 by 4 because the wood is soft it won't damage your bearings...
I haven't had a new frame since my fiend Morrow v.2 got stolen. I've been riding a 2013 BSD Forever frame.(back when only they had the Trail-Or-Park, WZA & Forever frames) it's still holding up I just miss that feeling of getting a new bike. Getting your bike stolen is the worst feeling in the entire world, especially when you're not done paying it all off and your last OG $cerbo bars were on my Fiend as well... ugh. So I'm back on the BSD with GT Four Piece that I love, I just have to get a new frame and the new front wheel and I'll be set!
Dude i know what you mean about the bottom bracket thing, however sometimes you get a frame that just destroys bb's, my buddy had a frame that no matter what bb we tried it did not want to go in, finally got it in and it was crunchy. when he went to take it out he broke the bearing he hit it so hard.
just subbed. been digging your videos lately. fun to watch. btw check the bottom bracket video on my channel for a quick and painless way to deal with bottom brackets!
No man. .. it's chicken & dumplings dude. .. ha ha ha. Fuckin chicken & pastry... had to be northerner that told yall it was chicken and pastry.. wtf.. funny shit... any southerner would have said straight out the gate. ... that's chicken&dumplings. ..
I love your videos Dan, they're so chilled but still have heaps of rad, smooth, everyday riding. I like watching that sort of stuff more than banger after banger after banger most of the time. thanks for making the vids mate.
man your riding gets me so stoked to ride and shoot photos 🤘🤘
Your video are so zen to watch, thanks for doing this!
timeless riding buddy. can't wait for the edit thingy.
Hey Dan! When I first saw your new frame, your old Cadence in Titan came into my mind!
I hope you enjoy the new frame !

"Not a Donald trump gold" I love your videos 😂

Thanks man! 5 dock is gnar, glad you survived that.
Good stuff Dan!
Oh.... you didn't show a shot of you putting the bearing spacer in and now I'm watching this like, "nooooooo"
Haha! great riding as always
It's in there don't worry. Ended up cutting that part.
Been using my 16 ounce steel hammer and ratchet for years on my bottom bracket. Never a problem.
good to see u on utube now bro!
keep movin'
Thanks homie.
The kids watching be like "Holy Sh**, that's Dan Frickin' Foley !!"
You should make some more videos! I miss seeing all of these they were so much fun!
love your vids man keep it up :)
Like the go pro footy 👌🏼👌🏼
that park is amazing
hey mate you seem like a very easy going bloke, good stuff
Hey dan, could you make a video tutorial on how to hit the spine at the skatepark. Ive always been to hesitant, especially the one in Vancouver.
Vancouver has some gnarly ones! You got it though. Hit it at an angle so the entire length of your bike doesn't have to go straight over it. Then as soon as your front wheel goes over the top, push it right back down into the other side. Practice flying out of a quarter that's the same height, pretending you're hitting the spine.

your girls face looked hilarious lol

By the way, sick bike!!! love the color of that frame! (the "greenish sea foam hammered" one too)
Thanks! I appreciate the tips. Sadly I knew all this, but just sent it with a hammer and ratchet anyway.
Dan Foley 😂 sorry I know. Sometime we have to use what we have around...
Over the top Donald Trump gold LOL
nice as always dude
your the man !should do a frame giveway!
Rubber mallet works the best for bottom brackets man I highly suggest you cop one will make your life alot easier plus wont do any dents to the frame

Oh damn, may have to try that...

The Zelda scene was hilarious
Tune at 5:03 reminds me a song "The Four Aces - Mr. Sandman" from back to the future movie :)
Great video! That's not Billy Dexter from Road fools 10 is it?
glad you were in my recommendations, sub'd
Sick
if you put your stunt peg length ways on the BB and then use the hammer it goes in pretty smooth. nice vid
Ohh that's a good idea.
That bike looks so good, does the lady ride at all??
Keep it up mate can't wait for the edit
Thanks! She doesn't and has no desire to haha. I'm ok with that.

Damn man, that really sucks. Hope you get a fresh build soon.
Same
Thanks man.
Keep killing it man. I ride alone a lot , well 99.9% of the time I ride is alone.
Think I'm going to get those tires in gum. Hope they squeak!
I had chicken pastry the other day lol
7:40 I have always known that as chicken and dumplings.
should do a bike check lol
aaayyyyyyeee hook it up with the old pedals and stuff
Sadboy Bmx ayyyye get a fucking job
Dude i know what you mean about the bottom bracket thing, however sometimes you get a frame that just destroys bb's, my buddy had a frame that no matter what bb we tried it did not want to go in, finally got it in and it was crunchy. when he went to take it out he broke the bearing he hit it so hard.
Haha yep. I guess grease and patience are key.
that thing was greased to shit and we tried a BB press first, im saying it was the frame
Wait a second, is that Billy Dexter?!
It is.
It's called Chicken and Dumplings yo
If you need to store your old frame somewhere I have a place for it.
Shoutout to your girlfriend playing Zelda!
Great video as usual! Would be awesome if you could do a collab with another bigger BMX UA-cam channel, you deserve more subs!
Thanks! That would be rad.
do a give away for your frame it would do me great here in Jamaica
Uhhh its chicken and dumplings in Texas!
robbie couldnt hook it up with a new bb!? that thing looked crusty. That gold looks sweet though
Are you going to do anything with the old frame? I'm trying to start biking again if you sell it for cheap let me no please
Are you making the music on that little keyboard??
Haha yeah. That thing is so fun to mess with.
New bearings, and use a press.
are those 24 mm spindle cranks ?
22mm Profile Columns
Frame giveaway?
what handlebars are those?
Cult Hawk. They're sweet.
you have an irish second name
just subbed. been digging your videos lately. fun to watch. btw check the bottom bracket video on my channel for a quick and painless way to deal with bottom brackets!
What are you going to do with your old cult frame can I have it ?
That look 4:09 lol
Please don't ever use a ratchet to get your bearings out again because you can break it.
Then I'd have a ratchet ratchet. Thanks for the advice dude.
No man. .. it's chicken & dumplings dude. .. ha ha ha. Fuckin chicken & pastry... had to be northerner that told yall it was chicken and pastry.. wtf.. funny shit... any southerner would have said straight out the gate. ... that's chicken&dumplings. ..
never put bearing like that. better get some peace of wood and then hammer it. same goes for putting them in (if you dont have rubber hammer)
check my bottom bracket video for an easier way...
Thank you.
bruh
I had big plans of ordering a cult frame when taxes dropped but I got raped this year so I'm stuck on my 20.2" flybikes frame. I'm 5'7.
i know the feeling, was on a 20inch frame (im 5'11) went to a mutiny villij 21 inch, so sweeeeeet
What is the song at 5:03???
can you giveaway that old green frame man on instagram or something?
Hi people
Yeah if you Grease them properly they'll come out easily
I need to stop swearing in front of you; I've become a bad influence! Was that wine in the white bowl???
Haha! No wine.
Park tool make bottom bracket removal and installation tools. Smashing your bearings in out of square into a new frame kind of made me cringe.
You should try chainless craflips😂. I challenge you to land 3 in a row.
Haha! I've done them and they are terrifying. They feel cool though. Completely silent.
I vote for a simple steezy edit. 1 foot flatties
I suck at 1 foot flatties. Simplicity is always good though.
your girlfriend omg lololololololololol
can I get your old frame
She aint happy about anything you do I think.
"don't do this" hahahahaha pro riders dont give a shit about working on they bikes
ughhh you replacing your BB made me cringe dude.
Me too.
Haha that's crazy! Thanks man.
