Yes 26" riders are not as good, nor will they ever be on the same level as bmx. Yes it is way harder to do the same trick on a 26" than a 20". So why would anyone ride a 26"?? I really just don't care how many tricks I can do, i'd rather ride a bike that feels fun and comfortable to me...but that's just me.

Couldn't agree more. I can do more tricks on a bmx, but you can't the feeling/ride like a 24/26

I ride many bikes, different types for different terrain and disciplines. I wouldn't ride a bmx on my 26km commute to work, I would ride a road bike. I wouldn't ride these goofy looking bmx impersonations in a skatepark either, I would of course use a bmx.

This isn't like the 27.5 / 29er debate, where suitability is mostly subjective. If the riding was stellar, I wouldn't have commented at all, but its mostly sub par. Pink Bike doesn't typically post amateur level riding, and this sort of thing should be no exception. In this case I believe that the bikes have alot to do with why the riding isn't stellar, too big, too cumbersome and it generally holds back the progression.

Wrong tool for the job, period.

If it weren't for 'negative' commentary, this site would have half the user participation it has. Differing opinions keep things interesting.

i guess what you are trying to say is that "mountain biking is serious business"

No fun allowed, everyone has to do what he wants or else they should be ashamed. All riding should be perfect and efficient and pro level or IT SHOULDN'T EXIST OR BE SEEN

Oh and front suspension has NO place in a skatepark. Or even on well built dirt jumps. Just keeps the profit margins healthy.

Great Riding, but the guy with the fubar hair needs a helmet.

No man helmets are for idiots, and the kids wont think you're cool if you wear one. You gotta be cool man! ..... Other things that are cool: Stealing music for you're vid and not giving the artist props. But I get it, it would probably take like 4 more days of editing to throw in the artist name at the end of the vid.

Why don't they just ride bmx? No offence it was a cool edit I enjoyed it but 26" wheels are only holding them back

nouser (Aug 15, 2013 at 22:45)

True, big wheels just make it look slow and bland.. not enough room for style. Then the lack of pegs deal.. it's all just meh.. A good MTBer rides like the average AM rider in BMX, and all the same I think those guys would do pretty decent progressively on a BMX

You guys a bit retarded? Unfortunately, a brakeless 26" is about as stupid as racing DH on a BMX, but brakeless noses on 26" bikes are even gnarlier than on a 20" & there were some pretty original moves in this edit.

Man who cares, a bike is a bike, at least we're out ridding and having fun instead of sitting on the internet telling other people how to ride..

worse than sub par amateur bmx, keep the mtb in the mountains where it thrives.
