I'm getting married on Halloween. Might take the bmx out for a spin today.

Interesting. I too went for a relatively steep head angle and short chainstays for my MTB.

Super sweet. What's the geo and how does it ride compared to 20"? I'm thinking of going 22" or 24" to ride the little local jumps/pump track and cruise around the neighborhood. After riding a MTB for a bit jumping on my 20" feels terrifying but I'm hesitant to give it up.

Somebody holding the bike and letting go for a second while picture is taken, probably.

Keep it up. I know not many people reply on here but I've always enjoyed your videos and watch every time you post a new one. Cheers.

Hell yeah, post that shit!
What's considered short on a cruiser? What about bb height? I've looked at some cruisers online and most seem to have low BBs relative to wheel size, I guess they're more racing oriented but surely a higher BB and shorter rear end would be more fun for street or park.

So this frame has the following geo:
Toptube: 22
Headtube: 75 degree
Seattube: 69 degree
Chainstay: 13.75 slammed, currently sitting just under 14
Bottom bracket:  12.7
Standover: 9.5

The bottom bracket is pretty low compared to stuff like the Colony & Sunday cruisers at 13.8, and the old Fit CR24's that had 13.5 bb's.  I kind of like it with the short back end, though.  The feel of the bike is still a lot like a 20.  I've been playing around with a LOT of cruisers and have another custom that's a 13.25bb with a 14 inch rear end that rides pretty good.  I'm about to do another custom that's going to be similar, and maybe another where I push the geo to extremes. 

Just for reference, my 20 is a Mutiny Animist with a 14 inch rear end and 21.5 top tube.  I can't ride any of these newer frames with ridiculously short rear ends and crazy tall bars.  I just loop out and eat shit all the time. 

I need to post up a more recent clip of me dicking around on my micro ramp I built in my garage.  The ramp is tiny, ceiling is super low, and the cruiser makes it all a little bit smaller feeling too.

How much can a custom frame cost? I've thinking about getting in touch with FBM to order a custom 24" and build it up with all the fancy TI stuff I couldn't afford back in the day.

You got recent clips on your non public Instagram?

Oops.  Made it not private now.

Sick bike. Is it a model c?

It's a custom Stout with a super short rear end (by cruiser standards).  I've got a Model-C that I need to put the back wheel back on post on here too.  I've got a bunch of cruisers I should post up actually.

I don't ride mtb but if I were to get into it it would be on a bike that handles as close to a BMX as possible and definitely a hard tail. I kinda feel like suspension is there just to mask sloppy riding.

I guess it depends on what kind of tire pressure you run. I prefer low psi on my BMX (50 or so) so tubeless would be good as long as it's a set and forget deal. If you run high pressure then the benefits are few. Road tubeless is pretty pointless.
