"Hi, I'm Dylan Slay and that's Nathan Grant and we're with Evolution Bike Company. Today I'm here to talk to you about BMX and what it all entails. Like it's pretty much anything from like riding a skate park to riding on the road, but when you're going to ride on the road and stuff, like Lance Armstrong, you're going to want to have like a different bike. Like for instance these bikes right here, they're pretty like heavy duty, they have like bigger tires, it's a 20 inch wheelbase, normally made of chromoly and they can take the beating. But like a smaller bike, or not a smaller bike, but like a road bike is basically all carbon with like a 24 inch wheelbase or something like that. Many people want to ride trails and stuff but it's not as easy as it looks. It basically starts off with like finding an open space and like a lot of friends and just like starting build them small. There's other things like racing, like I myself and my buddies Dakota, Nathan, we ride for Evolution Bike Company and like we race BMX at Sandy Ridge. We like do national races and all that stuff. So there's many different ways to ride your bike but as long as you're having fun, there's no wrong way to ride."
