Help! I bought my son a So Cal flyer for his 8th grade graduation, like 2 weeks ago. My mom pulled up my driveway and ran it over today. I am currently consoling both of them.
I have no bike knowledge. Is this fixable? Can these parts even be replaced? Or should I just buy him a new one?

you can easily buy a new fork and wheel for it as long as the headtube didnt twist, and pedal cranks are pretty easy to find online. but fixing that one with the original parts that you have there nah
Fix, nawww man that’s custom counter for a left side gangstah lean, bro knows how to represent.
this is why you dont swerve
Get the cromo replacement fork
The welds seem good. Take it to a shop. If luck is on your side you’ll only need new cranks and forks, which isn’t cheap, but it’s less than buying a new bike, and at the end of the day he’ll end up with better parts than what came on it.
If you can, find a bmx specific shop. Even if you have to go way out of your way it’ll be worth it. BMX bikes and companies tend to be a bit of a blind spot in general bicycle shops.
Your mom owes him a new bike.
No . But get new forks. I came to hear the crazy story how they jumped off a roof or something.
Cranks and forks are gona cost you more than you paid for that whole bike buy anorher bike but get pro bike like a kink launch or subrosa tiro any entry level pro complete go to your local bike shop or dans comp dont buy from a big chain store all the bikes are mass produced garbage
That is just the form and front wheel. Maybe integrated headset bearing kit for se big bike to make sure the front end stays turning smooth. If you search the exact word you’ll find what I’m saying to fix.
If the frame is bent at all just part it out and get another bike.
If you want to do it “proper”

But really, any newer fork and crank set will work. Like many have said, there is no reliable way of fixing these. They have been weakened like crazy from the stress.
Wall art. It’s trashed man.
Just because you can, doesn’t always mean you should haha, yes it could be fixed but… Don’t.
Don’t buy another so cal flyer, but have gmom buy him a new bike
