Sinz BMX race bars for trick riding?

I have got an odyssey elementary bmx stem. was looking at the sinz bmx racing bars found on The Source BMX. any other suggestions?

As long as you are a kid they will be fine! No weight limit suggested so maybe they are safe for adults?

I assume by tricks you are talking about on a fixed, in that case: Gussett Open Prisons for trick riding, 4130 butted steel, light strong blah blah blah, thats what I use/used anyways.

Oh yeah and race parts aren't designed for tricks/street riding, they will not last long.

I just saw em and dont really do bmx style tricks on my trackie. Just fed up of riding drops when mucking about.

Hey james. What size gusset bars do u use? Im trying to work out whether to go for 2'' or 3''

have you ever seen a bmx race?! a lot different to 700c... plus a lot of bmxers are (or were, when i stopped riding) starting to use bmx parts, if they are strong enough for them they will be fine for the 700c tricks guys!

Am now looking into some OS xc bars for use with a thomson stem. I recon something like that would be quite substantial for what I need it for. Looking at Easton EA-70's or maybe something a bit stronger for Dh or freeride.

Exactly what I was thinking. A 90kg muscle bound BMX racer clearing 20+ foot doubles (hitting lip when goes bad etc,.) is putting more strain on the bike than a typical barspin off a kerb!

EA70's are more than strong enough enough for downhill.

All you freestyle fixed guys are mental to think you need freeride/dh/bmx strength components

It depends how strong u want ur kit to be, and how long u want it to last. May just go for Easton EA-30's

MTB XC stuff would be strong enough so just use MTB parts (which is obviously what you are doing with EA30s)

Sweet thanks guys. Thats what i thought any way. Did have some Truvativ ones kicking around in 31.8 but cant find them. They must have gone to ebay...

Question: What do you think puts more strain on a bike, a fixed gear freestyle rider jumping down a 6/7/8 set of stairs, or a bmx racer landing smoothly into the downslope of a 20ft double, there are many fixed freestyle riders doing a lot more than doing a barspin off a curb you numpty, ever heard of SuperTed, Odge, Oscar etc etc etc?
For the record I weigh 100kg, I ain't no skinny bitch hipster, and I have broken a shit load of parts in my time.
Before I finally upgraded everything I could possibly upgrade on my previous bike to bmx parts, then I stopped breaking shit, thats a good enough excuse for me to not use anything less than the strongest parts I could fit (bmx/street mtb stuff), to avoid having to continually replace things again in the future.
I didn't break anything on my bike after I upgraded it to this spec.

EA70's are more than strong enough enough for downhill.

Oh really.....maybe me and a few of the other guys who ride are mental (well I don't ride fixed freestyle anymore i've drifted back to the bmx/mtb world), but maybe thats why we need that kinda strength in our components, because they/I are doing shit on fixed-gears that other people are doing on bmxes, the kinda stuff that would snap the shit out of crappy aluminium bars, xc, or race components.
See my above comment I think I am more qualified to comment on this than anyone else who has responded so far :)

just a 2 cents worth, if you want strong bmx bars, with a high rise, then why not look at S&M gay bars(cruiser) race bars.....4130 cromo, light and tough enough for racing, trails, and mini ramp, in fact my cruiser even went on the vert ramp at the urban games one year.I would say the sinzs ones are more of a 'junior' racing bars, ie up the @12yrs old, so they might not be the best for older riders....in fact they could even have a weight limit on them.
From the source website
Super lightweight Aluminium race bars for the kids. These bars are available in Mini (2.25" rise), Junior (4.25" rise) or Expert (5.75" rise). Black only.

I mean man you could call the guys at The Source, they are actually riders and racers so see what they say......

I didn't say landing smoothly though did I? And why can't the fixed rider land smoothly off of the set of stairs (rear wheel first etc,.)
And I stand by my comment that most fixed freestyle riders are doing no more than barspinning off a curb and the names you mention are in the minority. Clearly if you are breaking parts then you need something stronger than MTB parts.
Only pissed_up_pista can say which category he falls into and therefore which parts he needs.

I've watched a lot of bmx racing to, in fact I used to live a couple of miles from Dagenham Race Track in Essex, and used to hang out/ride with Bill Stupple who played a huge part in getting it pushed through ( a pro-racer from the andy-ruffell days of bmx).
My point being that bmx race parts are designed to be light weight, stiff and responsive, like most race bike components in any discipline, with strength coming secondary to these needs, unlike street/vert/dirt jump parts where the primary purpose is for the part not to break, Racers put a miniscule amount of stress on their bikes compared to street/park riders.
I never used race components on any of my bmxes, and I had a few over the years including my super-light bike (24lbs with only one titanium part!), if you're going to ride street and park features then you want chromoly steel on the load bearing parts wherever possible, and/or parts that are designed for the job, which is what I equipped my bike with, if you want to stick to doing barspins off of curbs then almost any bike/part will be up to the job I guess.
If you want to start doing slightly crazier shit then you need to beef the bike up as necessary, and its better to do that sooner rather than later.

Agree with that CrazyJames, if the parts are needed they are needed. Just saying a lot of people don't need them.
Talking of 80's BMXers I used to live 2 miles up the road from Tim March who would turn up at our local track now and again. And if only the parts in those days were half what they are now (fluted alloy posts, quill stems, one piece cranks etc,. that would all bend or snap as soon as you looked at them)

Guys thanks for all your input. I aint no reckless motherfucker pushing this sport in crazy new(ish) directions. I have a race set up at the minute but would love to have the option of swapping my bars and having a rainy carpark session to bring out my bmx/skate roots. I will use my bmx for hard street, but other mediums are always cool. Id say that i am more of a wheelie bars/ bars of a curb kind o guy at the moment...

s&m slam bars are race bars and fucken strong. but in general, race parts are not as strong as street or whatever parts. i had some easton ea70 dh bars on my mtb. alu. willing to bet stronger than gusset.
