BMX Rear Wheel Help
okay so i got a new bmx like 2 weeks ago and its been riding okay
probably around 3 days ago i landed hard
i had headphones in but i faintly heard a loud sound from my rear wheel

they will straighten out what may have been a poor assembly by someone not a mechanic.

BMX that landed hard.
Chalk it up as the price of fun. If somebody were to build a BMX bike that could handle riding off of a 4' loading dock, some kid will try riding if off the 12' high garage roof. Broken bikes is normal part of BMXing. If you aren't breaking stuff every now and then, you aren't trying hard enough.
Hope that the problem is only a $6.00 broken axle (my bet by the way) and learn to replace it yourself.
