Why I have no chain on my BMX
This is MY FRAME! I ride this now, I got it back in 2020. I ride pretty aggressive and I have snaped many parts including frames. This one has taken a beating and it is the same frame as the video.
Sunday Street Sweeper Frame
Here are the Bars I ride. There a little tall but they do the trick, I have had them for a few years now and they haven't snapped, they have slid on the stem a few times, that could be a stem problem, but hey I thought I would mention it.
Odyssey Bars
These are the grips I’ve been riding for years. I probably got my first pair in 2010, and I’ve been riding them ever since. In my mind, these have been the only option for years! To be honest, they’re nothing special, they just do what a grip is supp...
ODI Longneck Grips
I’ve had these tires since 2020, they’re almost completely bald now, but they’ve lasted. And I’m still riding them today.
Demolition Momentum Tire (Black) (20") (2.2") (406 ISO)
I have a problem destroying seats. I either brake the nose or just shred the fabric. I always end up just picking up a cheep pivotal seat and just replace it every once in awhile like I do my grips.
Pivotal BMX seat
Okay, this one is just for fun, but i do always ride with a tennis ball in my wheel. It's something i started as a kid and its been there ever since.

Honestly, if you’re just starting out, this bike will do good and it’s on the cheap end. It says kid in the title, but that’s a little misleading because it’s just meant for people that are shorter, it has nothing to do with the quality of the bike. ...
Mongoose Freestyle BMX Bike
Now, if you’re someone that’s looking to jump straight in to getting a high-performing bike and you’re a little bit taller this is a good choice. Sunday is one of the best brands out there, and the quality of the parts are going to be much higher tha...

Here is a 360 tutorial I created to help you get started with spinning. Even if you’re not ready to do a 360 it still has a lot of good ideas and techniques that can help you learn how to spin at all, it’s very useful to even know how to do a 90 and ...

Theses are the only grips I ride.
LONGNECK BMX Grips
You can never have enough tubes. Over the years I’ve gone through so many tubes. There was points in time where I would pop a tube every other day for months, but this was during a time when I was really riding hard. It’s the pinch flats that you hav...
20 Inch Bike Tubes
You might fall and bend a rim, this will Help… It's definitely helped me! Especially when you start to learn how to do spinning tricks like 180s, if you under spin just a little bit you might end up bending your rim. This tool will help you fix that,...
BMX Spoke Wrench
You don’t need to get this socket wrench any socket wrench will do. I just thought I would put it in there to make sure that you didn’t forget you needed one.
Socket Wrench
YOU NEED THIS MORE THEN YOU THINK! Most of the bolts on your bike can be tightened with this. I always put one in my pocket, I have one in my car, and sometimes I put them directly in the stumbled of my bike. When you’re jumping around and trying new...
6mm Allen Wrench
This is a must! It's the size for you back hub. This is another one that I have with me a lot, I throw a Tube a socket in a socket wrench and my Allen wrench in a cinch bag and take it with me to the skate park.
17mm Socket
All In One BMX tool! Now this one’s cool, I don’t have one of my own, but it looks extremely useful. It has a pedal wrench, sockets Allen, wrenches, and it all screws together. That’s every tool. You need to take your whole bike apart, and it fits in...
BMX Tools
Every time I go ride, I throw the essentials in a cinch bag. It always has a spare tube a 6 mm Allen wrench, a 17 mm socket and socket wrench and a bottle of water. 99% of the time this solves any of the problems you have when you’re out riding. It’s...
Drawstring Sling Bag
MY BMX journey
I started riding BMX when I was 13. I never expected to fall in love with it the way I did, and all the incredible things that would come from it. Here is behind the scenes and some of the items that played a role in my 20 year journey
This was the first bike I consider considered real BMX bike, I mean, I had a Redline before this one, but this one I bought online out of a Danscomp catalogue. I was so excited I went out and filmed my first BMX video which I have linked in the next ...
subrosa salvador street 2010
It’s incredible to look back at this. I thought I was about to get sponsored by the biggest brands in the world for this clip. YouTube was still fresh and I thought I would make a sponsor me edit. Ha ha this is such a reflection of the time! I don’t ...
MY FIRST BMX EDIT 2010!
This isn’t the skate park that I started riding at they actually tore that down around 2014, and they replaced it with this one. I’ve ridden this park so many times and learned so many things here. I don’t live around there anymore so I don’t get to ...
Rydell Skatepark at Kannowski Park
I had a friend give me a danscomp magazine back in 2009. I thought the bikes were cool but… I was into the T-shirts so I ordered one. Little did I know every month or so for the next 10 years I would get a catalog in the mail from Danscomp. I loved i...

BMX got me my first job! On my way to pick up an application at this subway I rode my bike and of course I was throwing out every trick I knew because it wasn’t just a bike ride, It was a session. As I pulled up to come inside, I could see an employe...
Subway
Back in 2015 people started talking about Instagram. I wasn’t interested for a while and then I saw a BMX company advertising a video trick contest to win a set of pegs. So I said OK I’ll give it a go, I got some weird action camera that I found chea...
Lucas Peterson on Instagram 2015
I really got into editing videos much more than I expected. I started making music videos, which were fun, but I really still wanted to be a professional BMX writer at heart. So I thought of a weird way I could combined my editing skills with my BMX ...
My first ever viral video
This is when I started doing BMX tutorials on TikTok and I started growing a pretty big following for this. I remember hitting the 250,000 follower milestone and I was overwhelmed to think that many people were interested in what I was creating.

This is currently a small list, if you’re someone that really enjoys BMX, I would love to hear about your recommendations as well! What is the best of the best right now?
This looks like a solid bike, it’s made out of the right materials and it has a long top Tube at 21 inches. This is perfect for the taller rider which usually if you’re starting to get more advanced, you’re probably older and taller anyways, and of c...
Sunday Forecaster BMX Bike (21" Toptube
I think this one is interesting. I don’t know if it’s the best one on the market right now, but the spec sheet looks good, the top tube is a little short, but that might be fun to mess around with for certain tricks, and of course, Garett Reynolds ha...
