Walmart Bikes Aren’t Real BMX Bikes

May 7, 2019

Anyone who has rode BMX for more than 10 minutes knows that you can’t expect much from a department store bike. These “BMX bikes” are mass produced using the cheapest materials to keep the price down as much as possible. Here’s a video where Brant Moore discusses why Walmart bikes aren’t real BMX bikes, and what you should be looking into when you do go shopping for your first complete BMX bike. Hit play and take it all in.

“BMX Bikes from Walmart are not real BMX bikes and they can not hold up to the abuse that BMX freestyle deals to them.

In this video I talk about the differences between real BMX bikes and the BMX bikes you might find at Walmart or any other department store.

If you’re trying to convince someone or yourself to go to a local bike shop and buy a real BMX bike or buy a used custom bike, this is the video for you!”
