49 year old here, just bought a Kink Whip myself. Bought a Jamis hybrid at first, figured it was a good start...big mistake it just fueled the feelings and memories of my old Dyno, GT and Robinson as a kid and my early 20s. Nothing in my adult life could evoke those feelings, funnily enough not even my Harley Dyna low, could. Sure I get sense of freedom on it....but its not quite the same. (Maybe it's a midlife crisis thing 😂idk) But damn i missed that feeling. My kids think I'm crazy, but my grandkids think I'm cool af, because now I can cruise the neighborhood with them.
Nice video. I hear you. I am also getting back into bmx after 30 years and also got the 2023 Kink Whip XL. I got no pegs but I changed the tires for some lighter Odyssey Super Circuit ones. Love it!
complete beginner here. bought the kink whip last year. best purchase ever. if you start experiencing squeaking overtime, try replacing the plastic cone spacer at the BB with a metal one, it fixed my issue.
I'm buying this bike tomorrow. I just turned 50, and I'm getting back into riding after 30 odd years. I'm 5'11, 215 pounds. I'm excited to have this become part of my life again. Great video btw. This bike costs $750 in El Salvador, where I live. I'm looking to slowly but surely custom out my bike. Enjoy your bike.
He’ll yea dawg! The bike looks sick. I’ve been deciding between the kink and the fly proton recently. Think I’m gonna go with the proton because I can get it cheaper without the breaks and get left hand drive side. But the kink is a beaut. Stoked for you and hope the progression is smooth this summer🤙
Sweet ride man! I want to get back into BMX after like 30+ years or mountain biking. I’m short so thinking about the regular Whip or the Colony Premise for same price and specs.
Nice bro! Keep at it! I'm in a similar situation after a 22 year break from BMX. I just recently found a lightly used Cloud complete for a deal I couldn't pass up. Love it! 👊🏽🤘🏽🤙🏽
Nice! Got mine a month ago and loved it. I will say I replaced the stem rather quickly. The die cast one it came with started slipping out the box for me.
I went with the same bike old guy getting back into it lol. what hub guards did you go with? I'm keeping this one as a cassette and now just ordered the Fiend type A+ bit better geometry little bit better quality and a freecoaster got it shipped to my door for under 585. You will want to replace the cranks on the whip xl they are crap just 8 spline can get the Rant 48 spline full chromo cranks for like 100 well worth it for the upgrade stronger and lighter and flat bottoms to not interfere w/grinds and such. I have also changed out to demolition momentum tires they are way lighter save like 2lbs and grip like no other on street or park. Say they are a 2.35 but are actually 2.41 best tires out imo and not expensive at all.

I love that bmx is reaching adults as a newer hobby. Fuck yeah.

Finally a video that speaks to me. We are the same height and older too. Just getting back to it after about 30 years.
Love it! I can’t believe I let so much time go by without riding.

I was set on a Sunday until someone recommended kink whips. Unreal value for a bike, full chromoly everything, sealed and double walled rims!
The orange is sweet

I'm 5'10, could probably ride the regular whip too but I really like the 21in toptube of the XL.
Nice bike! Keep it up 🔥
