i was at my local seasoning the big box jump and trying to fakie out of the quarter pipe that it leads to, i tried it a hell of a lot 😆 on my last try i bailed out and basically threw my bike into the air i think it might have gone at least 4 feet into the air and i think it landed straight on the crank and after that it just felt weird, i couldn’t put my finger on it and i also have no idea about bmxs coming from mtb, and now when i pedal with my feet in the usual position my right foot will brush up against the seat, if they are bent im assuming i should just get new cranks but would it be okay to ride on for the time being?

Sure is. Save up and invest in some decent 3 piece cranks. One pieces are notorious for bending.
Need new cranks regardless.. in my opinion. Those are eeeeeeh . Not gonna last .
If they aren’t bent now, they will be eventually. Go for a good 3pc. You can find second hand quality for 50$ or less. Will save you the future disaster.
As for these they don’t look crazy bent.. but the clearance on drive side does seem too close to be designed that way. But that would be a weird way to bend inward unless it was dropped from very high. Usually it will bend or snap at the crank arm in the pedal direction.. but yea. These cranks are bad to begin with .
Maybe a little. Run it till you can’t🤷
that things’ fucked, mate. It’s time for Profiles.
One piece cranks? Oh yeah, they’re bent!
Time for some real ones – bent cranks to me mean you’ve been upping your game, congrats!
Tl;dr
Yup it’s bent. Time for 3 peice cranks! They make cheap versions that will work with your current bottom bracket or you can press in sealed bearings and get a 3 peice with a 19mm ish spindle.
So bent haha, bent in a usable way till you can get some better ones, I’d direct you but there already seems to be an echo in this comment section 🤣🤣
I’ve snapped so many. These are just cruising cranks.
Yes. But don’t upgrade it. It will cost more to convert it then to get a better frame
You answered your own question bro get ride of the one price crank go to a. 3 price
