- So incredibly simple, yet they will still change the game. Over the years I've accumulated quite a few nifty little tricks that I wanted to share and a "BMX Life Hacks" video seemed like the perfect means to do it. Hope some of these help! Merch - lzbmx.com

10 BMX Life Hacks

The Bros Playing MC lol
I was like whaaat
Then slammed it into a wall

"Hello, today I am going to be teaching you nothing"
Great intro.
Swrvv lol
He wasn't lying... this video must be a joke right ?
@Parsa Haririmonfared thanks bro
@Parsa Haririmonfared ok bro i will
@Parsa Haririmonfared yeah what's your moms facebook/ instagram
Who’s here watching in 2021 when Adam stopped doing BMX content on his channel? :’(
Yeah... me too
Yupp
Yeah my bars were moving and I sanded them down and they haven’t moved since
People evolve get over it there’s plenty of great bmx content you tubers
same
Another tip to be the coolest bmx'er at the park is make sure to snake everyone and ride sporadically so no one knows where you're going. Oh, and make sure to use a freecoaster for maximum stealth and efficiency.
I will try..
I think I found a skater
Let me guess your a skater right?
baba leika more like a scooter kid, most skaters have the decency to respect lines and ride lines
ARL Jonaghir Lmao, you portray skaters as dicks, when we aren’t maybe people at your skatepark idk, but BMXers at my park are annoying. They go WHENEVER they want, snake alot of people, and act like it’s their park. No problem with bmxers, just people who are bmxers, that are dicks.
Would love to see u try mountain biking. That would be awesome!
Adam should collab with Seth's Bike Hacks
Superbikeboy TV This would be super cool because seth used to ride bmx when he was younger.
Superbikeboy TV yes YES yes!!! YES!!!!!
Him riding with Seth has been suggested many times - Adam I guess isn't interested because he never even mentions it.
Ryan Morris yes adam really needs to try that!!!!!
I have no interest in BMX but this video still changed my life
Thanks man
my pet peeve is when I see kids with a kickstand on their freestyle
Bmx Outlaws
Wait a second, why is it important to remove the kickstand? Does it improve anything i have my kickstand on so i wanna know if i should remove it(i have a bmx) please replay thanks for your time.
Bellia Gang if you miss your pedal you could kick the stand and could get it stuck if you turn a certain wheel and make you fall
Christopher Hardt
Oh ok thanks bro

Same it makes me wanna puke
Why do you look so young yet so old?
@@CZcamsCX9 and prison is just a place.
Wtf
@@CZcamsCX9 If Asians have this down, then why do they look so young until they hit around 50 years old and then they go from youthful-looking to OLD AF! Like they start looking a few hundred years old if they hit around 80 or so.....truth ma man! FACT!
@@Colaaah all the ageing they didn't do is doubled when they hit 50. Its a blessing and a curse not to age lol

You never know 😉

I ride mtb, 27.5 Giant Talon
Now ride bmx!
My height is 4”, but i can handle 27.5
Just another small tip that might work against moving grip: before putting them on your bike, spray the inside of them with hairspray. Makes them slide easily on, but after the haispray is dry the grips are (as good as) glued stuck. Hope you guys can use this. :)
There is a product that odi make called grip glue and I think it’s only $4
Unlike grip glue, if you ever need to take the grip off or replace it you won’t need to clean to glue off, hairspray 100%!
@@jerryshea4906 Came down to the comments to leave this tip. All that leftover hairspray...? Draw on your skateboard's griptape with chalk then seal it with... hairspray.
This is a awesome video and a good change from the vlogs (not saying vlogs are bad but it gets repetitive after hundreds of videos 🖒🖒🖒🖒)
💜💜💜
Glad you liked it!
Adam LZ congrats at almost 1.5M btw
Adam LZ loved the video i live in florida and have a right hand drive s14 kouki with a 1jz single turbo mabie we could meet up

WD-40 is the answer to everything isn't it?
Or beating it up.
Whatever else you do...
Hey brother
Yeah, but wd40 is terrible for grips or anything else that's rubber
wd-40 .. when i heard that i realized this guy is an idiot. Use rubbing alcohol people
FYI the real life hack for throttle grip -
Get a gap between the grip and bar and Spray wd40 or something similar in to them and spin them to get them off easy.
Clean the bar and inside of grip with soapy water and let it dry.
Spray some hairspray on the inside of the grip, then slide it over the bars to its normal position.
Leave overnight and the hairspray will dry and secure the grip in place.
And never take off your grips again 😂😂
@@mattdavies55 nah just same technique with wd40, and a slide a thin screwdriver in if you can to get the wd40 all the way down the grip.
Spaghetti Legs or use bug spray! It works in 10 secs just keep twisting the grips til it grips and stays! It works so well!
dont use wd40. use rubbing alcohol. once you clean the bar with the rubbing alcohol slide the grip back on .. no glue !
WD 40 = NO
HAIR SPRAY = YES
Be careful with that peg technique I snapped my axle doing that xD
Dear Adam,
You have absolutely no idea how much this one video helped me.
Sincerely ,
The single mother of a 15 year old with a new bmx bike 😊
This is the best how-to video about any subject that I've ever seen!
You get right to the point, don't leave out the most important part like some guys do, and don't take five times longer to say what you have to say than necessary.
I wish you made every how-to video about everything. Seriously.
I have the same shirt... weird lol
how did no one notice this comment?! btw i love your vids
3DMachines tank
3DMachines ayeee
love your vids bros
3DMachines 3D machines
What a beautiful bike dude
The first tip on the bars helped me out so much!!! Thank you so much Adam!!!
I fixed my bars like this at Woodward. Then I smoked a j in front of Dave mirras mural and thanked him for being my childhood hero. I ride haro then ,now and forever. Thanks for everything you have done for BMX Dave we love you and miss you man. And thank you sir for this incredible video!
R.I.P. Mirra 🤘🤘
Collab with Seth's Bike Hacks! He used to ride BMX, and now rides MTB. He could teach you how to ride MTB and you could teach him some cool stuff about BMX! He's located in FL btw, if you didn't already know :)
Shamus ilsley he doesnt live in florida anymore :(
Seth actually does ride bmx now
2 years later, I wish that happened.
Lol I just came from his channel to this video
He is in Asheville now.
Adam, since watching your videos I've wanted to get into BMX. I know I could go watch some other how-to, but I just like your "teaching"/explaining style. it'd be really cool if you could do a how to on riding, and then maybe do a beginning, intermediate and advanced series. plus I bet it'd get a shit ton of views lol.
Noticed nobody responded, what you want to do is get a cheap BMX off of eBay or FB marketplace and just ride it as much as possible, you'll eventually get used to a bike style, when your comfortable riding just try bunny hops as that is the key to all tricks 👍
Its nice to see a hack vid thats really helpful
👍
"Has silver bmx"
"Uses sharpy method"
Maybe if a silver sharpy is the same shade of silver. Otherwise probably clean it before anyone sees anything incriminating...
Even though I don't really like BMX, I still watched and liked it because you're the best.
k
*What Zach is actually trying to say is that even though this vid doesn't contain any sign of Nicole, he will still like it anyway in support of all the times Adam has shown Nicole. :-D
Wassup Bruce Wayne. How's Gothem
Zach Chupp i
Zach Chupp your really nice I'm gonna sub to you
Don't ride without a compression cap any hard landing WILL pull your stem out
Jason Cooper ya shit happened to me how u put stem back in
...J.C √
😂
I'm certainly not a beginner. I've been BMXing for 44 years now, since I'm Canadian I do ride in the snow all year round. I don't know it all, and any chance I get to learn something, and improve my riding, I'm totally onboard. Great video dude, I did even learn something, thanks man, you have a great night. Wes Sept
Dam coming back to see Adam with no MUSTACHE is crazy I feel like this a whole different dude
Next video should be all round car hacks from buying them to cleaning and maintenance like if you agree because Nicole's car was an amazing deal please Adam
How long a video do you want? Those are 3 very different topics that cannot be simply glanced over with any expectation of gaining any real knowledge... As for buying cars, rule no 1, never stop looking, if you've ever got a free moment, use that time to search a new forum, newspaper, classifieds etc... Getting a car like nicole's new 240 in that condition, with those parts, for that price is simply being in the right place at the right time... If you are constantly looking then it only becomes a matter of time...
OJMB no I hate the car vids
Andrew Blakely well that's just you but you have got to edmitti that Nicole's car was an amazing deal and still is white the belt thing
mer not realy into his cars tho but nice to see some lad that could be me doing his thing
Hjsjddndbhssjsj That wouldn't work cause all Adams fans are 12 years old.
my life has been changed
Quite recently, both the flat tyre hack and the moving bars hack helped me out when i was in a pinch. Thanks Adam, you saved me a shameful walk home
Wait why do I have throttle grip on my pepe
Or r u?
Had me rollin 🤣
Pull the grip back and ask your local priest to help " clean it up " make sure you wink twice
WHY
USE HAIRSPRAY on the handle bar grip!!!! works for me!!! (not to much)
Ole Drageide we used spray paint on our dirt bikes and 4 wheelers
+shawn hilton nerd using spray paint
Here's a tip use a chain tensioner
3 bucks on eBay boom solved lol
@@trevorwall87 ebay 🤣🤣🤣
Pfft park riders
u dont use chain tensioners on a freestyle bmx or any bmx only single speed dirt jumpers
damn it Adam! i had no idea you started out on bmx bikes! ive been watching your car vids for a while now and enjoy your enthusiasm on everything, keep up the great work brother!
How to ruin your bike circa 2017 bring tools kids
But some hairspray under the grip it will slide on when it's wet and stick when it dries.
His
That's what she said
Idc if I'm a loser
David l hairspray works? Bc I got new grips and they slip bad
Andy Morvant hairspray is lord
Clorox Bleach. Specific name brand or just any kind
best way to remove throttle grip issue is spray some WD-40 between handle and grip and let it dry
pls like so more people can see it
I have never tried it but it sounds like it wont work. My local bike shop said to spray hairspray in it to flush everything out and then the fast drying solvent should evaporate soon to leave it dry. Well the rubber pressed against the bars and trapped the liquid and caused the grip to throttle like iv never seen b4.
Ed yea i know it sound stupid but it works well, u should try it
Not sure if trolling or serious
No he isnt joking WD40 is a good way to slide your grips on and off
Rocko Omazing it's real
I’m barely getting into BMXs and this video amazed me. It’d be a really good video to know without having any knowledge about bmxs to those who do. Imagine a bmxer laughing at me for not knowing any tricks but shocked I know how to build & fix em’. 🙏🏻 Great video!
We always used hairspray for the grips. They slide on easy and are “glued” on when the hairspray dries. Put a nickel in each grip before you slide them on to prevent the bars from poking through the grips when you lay the bike down.
I was checking the comments to see if anyone was gonna mention the old hairspray trick. Nice 👍
back in the good old days when adam did bmx

True, but normal grips provide more cushion because the whole grip is rubber but lock ons have a peice or hard plastic in the middle

DOPESTNATIVE no
New grips or put wires on
...c33 Laurel - nuff said
You know how to stop throttle grip. Get lock on grips
or just take 10 seconds to wipe the sand out of your fucking grips
yes but with the locks grips wont move or even get sand inside in the first place
also ive never had sand in my grips but my friends plasti dipped handlebars started wearing down and getting under the grips so gross lol had to peel em back and pull everything out
Iamkieren or hairspray
I just restored my 1982 Ammaco Mongoose. I've developed my own hacks (really sloppy hacks, lol) over the years, but some great tips and tricks in this video. Good work, cheers xD
Who woulda thought. 5 years latter i found this info useful. Thanks adam!
How do I stop throttle grip on my dirt bike throttle
Logan Mackinnon don't ride it
Use steel wire, wrap it around the grip super tight, go do some googling.
treksez what about the throttle, it twists
Logan Mackinnon leave it wide open
dont use the throttle
Well, MY life has been changed forever.
I was taught by a guy in a bike shop, when applying new grips to dip them in VERY sugary tea, then put them on. When dry, there's no movement. Always worked for me. Nice video.
Alright guys welcome to tips on how to bmx. Step one. Stomp on the bike. Love it bro lol
something i used for cars to cover up scratches is nail Polish it works to
I want to BMX but idk what bike to get? Any tips Adam
Yes you should talk about that^^
Get Terminated Sunday!
Go to your bike shop and get some cheap little $2-300 complete. It really doesn't matter what you get as long as the size is right. As you get better with riding you'll develop personal tastes for parts and replace parts as they break.
if you're tight on money get a Kink, very affordable
Get a Kink curb 2017
The tightening the chain, I find it easiest to wedge something between the tire and frame. I used a flash light to wedge in between while I tightened. Then you just remove the wedge and you're good!
The stem sanding tip--that seems logical! I was wondering why my new bike's bars won't lock down!
Just get lock on grips
yea and get arm pump
That's what I have and before I used a bunch of tape to stop my throttle grip
Just no
No
Instructions unclear I cant take the cap off of the Sharpe
Use axe spray
Wow that first tip was the most important one I needed
Crazy how far you came bro. I remember when you were just a small channel.

Miss Lz bmx 😭
I never rode a BMX and not going to, but i find this video pretty damn amazing xD
Morten Nielsen yea me too
Morten Nielsen bmx*
Morten Nielsen What does BMW has to do with this video lol?
Ofc i mean BMX, i need sleep xD
You were right I learned absolutely nothing LoL 😂
I was trying to look to convert my sons bike to a free will and I seen this wasn’t what I was looking for so I rolled back the grips and boom! Tight as ever! So awesome!
5:04 in my opinion it's a good idea, but my advice for if you don't have pegs is get a wrench, loosen the bolts on the rear tire, slide it back, and re-tighten the bolts. I do it usually when my chain pops off the gear, and it works pretty well.
On the first one, I just push my feet on the front pegs and pull back on the bars.
Where did you get that black bike it's beautiful
Dude I've only ever seen one video by you, this one, and I am instantly subscribed, you're hilarious nice work
If your handlebars move a quick fix is put your foot on the gooseneck & pull as hard as you can on the handlebars also throttle grip if its bad roll it back use hairspary loose chain use the rubber handle of a hammer between the middle of the tyre & the frame a little bit of pressure tight chain wat this lad said is a good one to use too
hey Adam you may not reply but what's your personal opinion on the mafia bikes?
Kamil Jarczak they're hella heave

What camera is he using i need to buy this!!😍😩
RIP LZ BMX
miss these bmx videos bro.
Thanks dude😎.But I knew some of the tricks👍.Because I met Norways best biker and learn things from him👌
does no one else use hairspray to put grips on...?
I do too!
mitch Me too
mitch I do this on my dirtbike
mitch I do

Oh fuck
I was view 1 million
I clicked on the video when it was at 999k views
Wow
Probably my greatest accomplishment
Sorry friend but probably not
Why not?
You do realize that’s 999,000
Righ?
There’s 999 other people that could have the 1,000,000 view.
An old-school method of putting new grips on is to spray a bit of hairspray on your bars, then slide the grips on. When wet, it lubricates. When dry, it's like glue.
one thing we used to do back in the day with grips, fold them back and spray a bit of hairspray on the bars, when you put the grip its basically stuck so no more throttle grip.
I just bought Adams sig bars and they legit 🔥
That was legitness
How much were they
For sweaty hands just use antiperspirant deodorant (the white one) so your hands don't sweat
Logan Mackinnon Is that’s real bad for you lmao some kid died from that shit
Throttle grip I fix by putting a couple small drops of crazy glue under there, and when time to change em, they still can be peeled off. :)
Haha I love your presidential campaign
Really like your video and it gave me some good tips for every day riding.
Use hairspray to put new grips on and they stick on
The dollar store usually has an unscented one. Cant be smelling like roses and coconuts at the park.
Charles Gunzelman why not?lol
rubbing alcohol works great
They dont stick. it actually make the rubber shrink to tighten the grip.
Put a penny in headset with your bars man and your bars won’t move been doing this since my childhood
Scott Polston another cool "coin mod" is to put nickels under the ends of your grips before sliding them on. This prevents the bars from poking through like a cookie cutter, and eliminates the need for bar end plugs.
That air compressor trick is sweet bro
With the side-to-side method do you keep going back and forth tightening the bolts or do you just go one time on each side?
The title of the video has LIFE 2 timeeeeesssss
I thought I was going to watch a Seth’s Bike Hacks video 😂
If i was subscribed i wouldn't be after watching this ... Seth's bike hacks actually are hacks ... but this ? must be a joke...

Merci !!! Bordel merci !!! I have seen this video when you posted it, I have kept in mind your life hack about fixing the bar which has moved. I needed it today and it saved me ! (my screw is totally blocked and I can't fix it better for the moment but I can ride ! (carefully)) Thanks a lot !
my screw (singular) because it's a 1977 Peugeot CPX 100 with most of the original parts that I restored.
