Brompton BMX video - Wow!
I was doing a search for Brompton trailers (Radical Design, Burley, etc) and came across this video. Amazing!

Makes me feel like I don't even know how to ride my Brompton properly! Oh, and I like the 'ding' of the Brompton bell when they land their jumps.

Bicycle Repair Man !!!
Any well built bicycle can handle so much more than most people subject them to, especially if they have quality wheels... the small wheels on Brompton's and other like bicycles are proportionally stronger than larger wheels so getting really strong wheels is pretty easy.
As long as you do not smash them into things sideways they hold up well.

very cool .... remember to get a Brommy if you want to do this stuff..... :-)
no helmets needed either....
somehow if you lisen to the music there seems to be a cash register bell sounding off every so often .... thats what I thought ..
Dear Dealer
I was just riding along when the frame developed this unsightly crack .... the wheels are horrible and the spokes break all the time. I think you sold me a lemon. I insist of you giving me a new bike, right today, as I use the bike for daily commuting.... I cant be late for work.

Top end BMX bikes are $1200 so maybe these are their travel bikes?

Yeah I know, it's unlikely.

Amazing that those bikes are able to withstand abuse
like that.
I would never trust a steel frame and small wheels to that kind of shenanigans.

Should be subtitled: How To Really Abuse Your Ultra-Expensive Brompton, Just Like A Typical Far East Made Crappie BMX
But still a nice video & it does assure me most Bromptons will last pretty much forever the way most users ride it.

It would be even better if they all had dynamo lighting on and front luggage attached, even if empty.

Just got a regular BMX (Kink Whip 2017) when just a month ago I would never even considered one. I have two Bromptons (one of which I was initially thinking of converting), but the frame alone is nearly the cost of the whole BMX bike.
Shared with a friend and it's a blast so far.

Well, I can feel confident that my Brompton will probably never break since I ride it normally.
The most I would do is drop off a sidewalk curb.
Not so related.
I had a WTP Zodiac BMX a few years ago and took it to a mild BMX park for 2 hours.
After ~10 simple 2 foot drops and trying to learn tricks; I was sore for 2 weeks!
Sold it to someone half my age.

I'm sure Bromptons are well made and sturdy I've had one for four years I know what it can do.However,when it comes to BMX not with my Brompton!
