Hey everyone! I want to share a story that connects me to BMX in a special way. Four years ago, I was hospitalized and didn’t have much to do. I was stuck in bed, and that’s when I discovered a YouTube channel focused on bikes. I binge-watched it, and the videos about BMX stuck with me. I’d always been a fan of this style of riding, and watching those videos brought back memories of my childhood—pedaling with my friends through the neighborhood, laughing, and feeling free.
When I was finally allowed to go home, I knew I had to make this a reality. I started with a frame, then bought the parts one by one. It was a journey, but every time I worked on it, I felt a connection to the past and the joy of riding. Now, my BMX is finally ready!
This bike is more than just a bike—it’s a reminder of the freedom I lost and the joy I found again, specially now that I have a daughter to go with me. Thank you for reading this.

Looking good but you need to trim that cable down!
What frame is that, and definitely roll your bars back, it will feel so much more stable
