[bmxrdr88]

not really, it will probably just increase your indurance and stamina. it won't make you like Van Homan or anything though.

you can't be a street rider if your weight is over 150 pounds.

[BmxStreetz]

actually I Ride street,im not a pro or nothing but i do pretty fine.

[pnj]

[BmxStreetz]

I'm clueless. What is the proper term? Is is anything like the other guy that said he could "pro-hop 7 inches"

If you and your bike can handle the weight then it does not matter.

If you are heavy, then you will fall harder. :) If your bike is heavy, it will fall harder on you. :) :)

Encylopedia Sarcasma, more likely.

I've seen videos of a 250 lbs guy doing backflips and insane grinds on a really bent handrail so that proves weight isn't a major factor in bmx.
