Gear ratio effect on stopping/skidding

iro_dan, if I'm honest BMX bikes look gay now.

When everything was oversized (anyone ride an S&M Warpig?) it looked too bulky, and these days the weight weenies have made a mockery of BMX parts. Not to mention the really really short seat tube thing going on. Seeing some big guys riding these tiny frames and tiny parts looks just as weird as seeing guys doing tricks on fixed bikes.

My first frame/bike was a dirt master jump, back when 4130 tubing on bmxes was just straight gauge, none of this butted bullshit lol ;), oh yeah and I ran profile SS cranks, do you remember those? Do they still make them even? I also had original behringer bars (correct spelling?) for years, great bars, tough as nails.
