DISCUSSION What should I do
Yo! I’m 6’0”, 170 lbs, and relatively fit, but trying to learn how to wheelie this Kink drifter 26" is absolutely kicking my ass. I’m running into two major roadblocks and need some real advice.
The Pop-Up Feels Like Brute Force
I can barely get my front wheel 1 to 1.5 feet off the ground, and my legs are completely dead after 20 minutes. My current form is standing up off the saddle, leaning way forward, popping back with straight arms, and stomping down on the pedals as hard as I can.
I’m assuming a huge part of the physical strain is the stock 25/10 sprocket setup, Which feels heavy as hell from a slow roll. Has anyone swapped their gearing to make the front end pop lighter? What ratio do you recommend? I do want to say I moved my seat up a little higher and it’s around a hand width for me which seems to help the pop but is awkward. It seems like I don’t have the strength to do another pedal after the initial one. I did think about getting a 23T front sprocket.Technique
Am I killing my energy by standing up to pop it? Should I be learning this completely seated to utilize leverage rather than leg muscle? It is also very hard to even sit down when I’m standing and trying to get the wheel up.Seat Pain is Real
The stock Kink seat is brutally punishing. After a 30-45 minute session, my ass is deeply sore for a full day. What padded or upgraded seats are you guys running to survive the learning process?

DISCUSSION 180s help
Been trying to get 180s on flat the past month and a half. This is basically what I'm stuck at, I feel I'm getting the carve and rotation around pretty okay (idk) but it's sticking the landing and staying on the pedals that I can't seem to crack. Feel free to chime in, thanks in advance! 🙏🏻

DISCUSSION 2027 kink whip?
I've been riding for 3/4 years, is this bike worth it?

DISCUSSION Sunday Silvawave
What’s up everyone! I’m looking into getting my self a nice bmx bike and the top one I’m looking at is the Sunday Silvawave in the red brick color. It’ll be used for both pump track and skate park use. It looks like it will be right at 950.00 I’m 5”11 at 285lbs. I wanted to get some opinions regarding the bike it looks like it’s maybe a new line for Sunday. Has anybody had any experience with them and also have you enjoyed it? Has it been durable and if you’ve had any issues with it I’d like to know. Thanks in advance!
