Both of these guys bring a good mix of tricks and creativity to the spots making for a super good watch from start to finish. Not only that, but Ryan Chadwick did a damn good job with the film work. Hit play and enjoy! You won’t be disappointed!
“When Ben from GT presented the idea of doing a short trip with Albert Mercado and Jeff Purdy to my hometown of Arizona, I knew immediately that I had to say yes. Albert has been a good friend of mine long before I was ever considered a professional videographer and his approach to riding and filming has always been one of my favorites. His unique ability to look at a spot and figure out that truly special move is incredible. Jeff, on the other hand, was rather new to me. After a bit of research and watching his INSANE Daily Grind section, I was more than excited to get started. Five days later and a bunch of classic AZ spots conquered, these two absolutely blew me away with their unmatched skill and the determination to get as many moves logged despite our short time together. I hope you enjoy what we’ve put together and I look forward to the next opportunity to film with these badasses again.” – Ryan Chadwick, Filmer.

Anyone who has rode BMX has probably wondered what size BMX bike is right for me? or what size BMX frame is right for me? at some point. After riding for a while, most riders tend to find their size and stick to it, but sometimes changing things up can make riding feel better or even make some tricks easier for you. The crew at Kink put together these really helpful guides to help figure out what size BMX bike is right for you based on your height in inches and centimeters for the metric users out there. These guides show everything from the 12″ bike all the way up to 21″ top tubes, making it easy to get an idea of just where you should be looking if you aren’t sure.
Now, these guides can help figure out what size BMX bike or what size BMX frame might be right for you, but it’s also a bit of personal preference as well. Generally taller riders over that 5’11” height will want to stick to that 21″ + size, but I’ve also seen shorter riders shred the hell out of a 21″ frame and tall guys shred on a smaller frame, so it’s not an exact science, but more of a recommendation than anything else. The size can be a factor in the types of riding you do whether it’s technical street or ramp riding, or you love sending it over some big gaps at the trails. It’s something you’ll want to try and play around with whether it’s mixing it up when you change up frames or by simply trying out your friends bikes that run different sizes or setups to find that sweet spot that feels just right.
Not only that, but there are other things you can do to make the bike feel a little bigger or smaller like switching out the stem with more or less reach, changing up the fork with a different offset to bring in the wheelbase or spread it out a bit. So sometimes you don’t necessarily have to replace the frame to make some adjustments to help with sizing.
Either way, BMX bikes come in a lot of sizes and although they might not seem like big jumps between 20.75″ and 21″, that quarter inch can make a difference on just how your bike feels and rides for you, so definitely put some thought into it when it comes time, because you would be surprised at the difference it can make for you.

Shout out once again to Kink for making these graphics to help show what size BMX bike is right for me!

Here’s one for the “Stranger Things” and old school BMX bike fans out there. Here’s a look at the new special edition “Stranger Things” Max bike from Mongoose.
