The 2022 Subrosa Malum BMX Bike is built for extreme riding. Subrosa knows how to keep their finger on the pulse of what is in and the 170mm Rant Bangin' cranks, Contender 2.35" tires, and TSC Crow pivotal seat prove it.

About the Sunday Soundwave
If you are in need of a top-of-the-line build that is equipped with a cassette, then the 2022 Soundwave Special BMX Bike is the perfect choice. Gary Young's official signature model features an aftermarket frame, forks, bars, hubs, cranks, brakes... Well, actually, just about every component is aftermarket. - Zábava
1983, I lived in Fort Wort Texas. I had a Mongoose Pro Class. On a Saturday I went swimming and broke my front teeth and seven stitches in the chin. Next day, I get home from the dentist with new teeth. I go ride my bike and decide to try to bunny hop my friend's bike. Standing up in a profile view. I had to get through the seat and bars. I did not make it. I broke a new tooth and added stitches while having to be treated for severe shock. My mother was very happy that weekend (RIP MOM).
I had a frame break in half and broke a couple teeth and split my chin. My grandma was sitting in the car while i rode and you should have seen her face when I walked up all bloody and messed up haha. Poor mom & grandma, they put up with a lot.
Chipped a bunch of teeth crashing when I was about 17. Broke my wrist at the time, too. Mum didn't seem concerned all that much.
@@wreckitbmx2698 Lol, either do you; "too"
big jump, my friend landed it, busted his balls on the saddle and laid on the ground for minutes gasping for air, i took the jump and broke my bottom bracket had to ask my mom for a few bucks for my bike guy. a few days later i broke my rear frame on the same jump dammnn . so question busted balls or broken frame?????
You ever race out at Cowtown/Green Goat? I was riding with an older kid late one night in the early 90's. He attempted to bunny hop something impossible when his back tire touched the curb during take off. He looked like the elephant man after he face planted. Knot the size of a softball.
I owned a GT as a kid/teen now I bought a GT for my son and they look/feel very very cheap compared to back in the days
Thank you for setting up your video with links to reviews of the bikes. I was in the market and this video helped out tremendously!
Enjoy your day as well Doug and thank you for the video!
Nice job Doug. I agree with you for the most part especially the top 3.👍 Thanks for all the effort you put into these vids. Keep kicking ass brother! Up Tha BMX!!!👍🤪👍
Thanks man!
Good list. Production values have improved a lot. Give you props on that Doug. I will say though that I would definitely rank the Battleship higher than the Broc Raiford Authentic. The frame is not heat treated. Whereas the Battleship is a fully after market Japanese Sanko heat treated frame. This and the more street oriented geo is what made me choose the Battleship over the Broc Raiford when I was shopping for a street specific bike.
The higher end ones seem expensive but they are a steal. The lower end ones aren't bad either. You compiled a nice list.
Thank you sir! 🙏
oh my!! at 39 yrs. old watching this, just interested in a cruiser, that opening was a jaw dropper!
Yep detered new from getting back into. Lol at my age...idk
Maybe not do stupid shit like that
@@nyclassic4ever130 you know you can just like chose to take it easy at first and not throw full cabs down el toro without a helmet right...
More like skull crushing 💀
omg... I had to stop the video to type this...That opening scene was crazy, possibly life changing crash....
Brandon begin el toro
He was totally fine didn’t change his life. Could have died for sure tho but he got super lucky and was totally fine. Still doesn’t wear a helmet
Good information excellent review.
Where did all those legendary brands of the past go like Hutch, Redline, SE, Haro, GT, Skyway, Mongoose, Kuwahara....Shit I'm getting old
I still have my dmc from 96 and a DK from around the same time
Since when was mongoose legendary?
For us kids in the 70s and 80s it was@@Genghis420Khan
all the legendary brands are gone - they have gone corporate sadly -- i am gen x ... I rode them all... the brands we loved ... have been diluted to big box stores unfortunately... @@Genghis420Khan
@@Genghis420Khan when Kevin rides one. You better ask somebody.
Fantastic coverage, as usual, Doug! Personally, I wouldn't change up the order you presented them. It amazes me how light the Darkwave complete is. I want to renew my Street Sweeper frame come the September sales (In Australia) but have a feeling I'll get a Soundwave frame instead.
Yea the Soundwave frame is amazing. BUT, it will be very different to what you're used to with the Street Sweeper. I got both a Soundwave and Battleship, but doing a manual for example is harder for me on the Soundwave.
@@LittleBigKid707b Yea, the change in geometry will certainly be noticeable but I have so many different bikes, I can adjust rather quickly. I have a Tall Order 315 with a 13.7" backend so it will be fine in comparison to that. So many frames, so little time! :P
@@kirkwickham3336 Hey guys, i wanna get back into bmx, i will ride both park and street, im only 5.7 tho so not tall, buuut look wise i prefer a taller frame, what yall reccomend ? more about sizes and stuff, not neccesary a bike/parts in general
@@cechichan 20.75" should suit you just fine.
I actually like this channel and it gets better.
Got my first BMX bike yesterday, it was fully customized by previous owner with different parts and I love it, super light and durable. It's a premium products frame with 3in tires cult rims, and handlebar not sure but looks squared in a way and feels great, the seat though, needs cushion cause it be hurting my tushion.
Great info but I disagree with the top 3 and I personally have the envy and soundwave. in 3rd should be the dark wave it’s pretty much identical to the soundwave with a little twist. In 2nd should be the soundwave it has several cons they did skimp out on some parts like the stem brake pads some of the machining has kinks and the assembly was a little more difficult like I had to configure the brake cable no problem for me but for others could be a headache in 1st should be the envy it’s only con is the warranty and slightly heavier than the soundwave that’s it everything single part down to the brake pads are some of the highest quality easy to assemble out the box
The battleship colors are also build specific, one color is rhd the other is lhd
The Darkwave is cool but I went with the Soundwave for the cassette
I love that they build bikes you can just pick up and be done when i was big into BMX if you wanted this quilty you had to building your own bike, this makes it so much easier for new riders to get into the sport!!
I would like a bike recommendation but with one caveat. I grew up riding a 1986 Haro Sport. I like the Sunday Soundwave, but what I really like is how my Haro Sport felt long, but laid back. I don't know fork tube angle of the Sport, but do they make a newer bike like the Soundwave with a similar fork angle. I hated Dyno's because I always felt I was falling over the handle bars. The Haro Sport though just felt kind of laid back if you know what I mean.
BRO ARE YOU ALRIGHT THAT FALL LOOKS SO HURTFUL
I loveeeeeeeee my kink Williams!!! It’s so perfect for street and park
Are the redline bicycles any good? looking at the Asset 24. Thank you
love the video man i Want the darkwave so bad defiantly my dream bike. but why dose it have to be that tube size ... im 5.8 i hate how all the awesome bike atm are over 20.75. but i am still very happy with my fiend type R ... could you every do a best bike for certain size series would be dope
I have the 2021 soundwave. What stem would you upgrade to?
Pretty solid review and list but I find it interesting that the list is actually top 11 Street BMX bikes. I also find it interesting that the word BMX has more or less become synonymous with Street BMX and if you tell someone you ride BMX they assume you ride street. Perhaps that is the most popular but I find it interesting because when I started riding back in the late 90s most people rode everything but primarily dirt and park/transition and those were the more popular competitions.
So what would be good for riding street and park??
Friendly advice awesome video
Dougsterbob, I just noticed on the Sunday web page that the Soundwave's weight is listed at 23.41 pounds without the brakes. Any idea how much weight the entire brake kit adds to the weight?
I got the soundwave complete since 2020. And I do only had to replace stem, grips and tires in 3 years
Great list! One question why is GT never mentioned?
Any chance you'll add the Haro Midways and Mid City to the app?
nice thank you for say
what are you thoughts on the mafia pablo ?? i have odyssey forks and bars to replace the ones the are on there ??????????
Great review thank you
Looking to get a Bmx for my teen son
5 foot tall 90 lbs but pretty athletic
Thank you
GT was king 30 years ago. I just bought a new GT Pro Series and the quality has gone down hill but it's still a really fun bike for getting back on a BMX after all these years, and it was only $400, so hard to beat.
I just got 3 of the 2023 fit one lg for me and my brothers amazing bikes
I have the kink Nathan Williams frame and it’s awesome
Best intro ever😂
What are your thoughts about S&M/Fit bikes?
Wow wares the gt , redline, mongoose , dyno whare I been for the last 30 years 😆
I just picked up a new 24 inch Dyno Pro Compe the bike is awesome... They are making Retro GT Performers also check out the GT heritage edition bikes...
I just copped a 2023 Fit str cassette in black for 300$. I wouldn’t have even thought about it as a choice if it wasn’t for the insane sale. I think I’ll be well happy with it for the price
I bought a 2020 fitbike scumbag all original but the only problem I had was the free coaster had gone out on me 3 times until I upgraded to a super reliable coaster and bearings
what do you think about sunday forecaster 21?
Hoped to see a mention of your mic ur using in this video and your sound program equipment for voice audio to share with a friend thanks . Caught ur video being watched by my husband btw
Hey can you review the STAY STRONG optimum prk bmx bike? Thansk
Do the best frames that would be awesome. Or best Frakes from certain brands sunday, s&m, fit, we the people, tall order, haro, ect. Awesome video obviously there isn't a complete right now that rivals soundwave there isn't any completes that have a frame to rival it in the first place
WTP Envy should be number 1 since it has no cheap parts on it. Also you can get the frame in different sizes and left or right hand drive.
I'd argue the Soundwave complete is better thanks to the warrantied components. Not saying you're wrong, just different opinions.
@@kirkwickham3336 What you said isn't an opinion. The Soundwave really does have the LifeTime Warranty. WTP has the LifeTime Guarantee which is not the same thing
Contrary to popular belief helmets are pretty cool yo
Can you do one for street frames?
Tall order good? I got the pro version
Can you review the stolen sinner fc it's the lhd freecoster version I've never seen you review it but it seems like such a good bike for close to no money with no hype around it so please
Kinks killing it imo...
Back when I was a kid, I could of bought a GT Performer Pro for about $450. Even back then I thought paying $450 for a BMX bike was a rip off.
Now that barely gets you an entry level bike 😂
If you weren't willing to pay $450 back then for a BMX/Freestyle bike, that just means you weren't passionate about BMX, and besides the GT Performer Pro was a cheesy horrible bike. When BMX racing slowed down in popularity and BMX Freestyle took over, GT had a horrible time trying to fit in the freestyle world, they just didn't have it, their bikes were cheap and had no flavor.
It'll be really good if you show the pictures of the bikes along, while you narate the specs of the bikes.
Hey there 👋 I've been looking to order the we the people envy for my son, but can't seem to find it. Do you happen to know how I can order one? Looking for the 20.5 TT
It looks like the 2023 WTP envys will not be in stock until september, some of the lower quality WTP bikes are here already but not the 2023 yet. If you see one for sale online early, chances are its a pre-order. You can call around to local shops and see if they carry WTP, i know some of them do and they may be sitting on an envy.
Sunday got no 1 yo just what I wanted to hear
What BMX bike would you recommend for a small 7 year old beginner that is doing well borrowing a bike now.
probably a little late but look into a bike like the cult juvenile or similar 14/16 inch bikes im sure fit do some too
Is the fit str good
Sweet I have a Sunday Soundwave v3 lol
I am goin with the kink whip
I'm 5' 5" would this bike work for me?
Where can I find the dark wave
I've been mountain biking for a long time and I just moved to a place that's within less than a mile of a great bmx park. Bout to sell the ol MTB for now and try something new! Thanks for the info.
Also NO NO NO IS THAT DUDE OK??? HOLY SHIT!
Which is the Strong and tough Frame?
Because I love Jump
sudnay
Was looking to buy a bmx bike until that intro...my god. 😳
Just got me a Division Brookside. Wonder why it didn't make this list.
Is this bike good CULT
Cult Gateway BMX (2022
I think the cloud may have the same frame as the aftermarket, I think the cloud aftermarket frame is low end for aftermarket frames, the bike and frame both list the same frame material where the Williams complete and frame have different material listings
Kink themselves said it's not the aftermarket frame on the Cloud complete.
They shouldn't use the same name if they r not using the same frame. It should differentiate between the to whether it says not after market frame or call it the kink cloud complete frame made with same materials to equal the quality to the cloud aftermarket frames!
It is not the same frame. The geometry is, but the actual quality is not the same. Why do people still struggle with this? Kink themselves have said that neither the Cloud complete nor Williams complete are the aftermarket frames.
I just got a Dark wave for $400 LMFAO i drove two hours last night to get it after watching your video! THANKS!!
Now i gotta learn 180s LOL
Bro hit the jackpot 😳😳😳
Right!? im only 5'6 but this has gotta be the best quality feeling bike ive ever rode
Fist fights with his neighbors, a US Senator of the commonwealth of KY and now Rand Paul reviews bikes. Nice work 👏 👌
well for me i bought an old wtp bike and will upgrade it with time
Just picked up a new WTP trust for $250
Ripping my Eastern trial digger.
Can you do a video cheapest to expensive
Colony Sweet tooth frame $579.99 AUD/$390.61 USD as at Jan 2024
Colony Sweet tooth complete bike $1399 AUD/$937.83 as at Jan 2024
With that said those prices are from reputable bike shops. Wish and eBay have the complete bike for much cheaper. eBay for example is $999+$30 AUD post which is $669.81 + $20.11 USD
Can u rate the green stolen heist green
any thoughts on verde bikes? they’re local to me and i would love to support a local bike co but don’t really hear anything about them
did the guy at the start really tried that without a helmet? LOL
Why does nobody care about the guy in the beginning
That's why you wear a helmet
he survived
That ...was... gnarly
@@SkeemoSkis that’s still like a broken jaw
That's Brandon Begin taking the fall, along with Stevie Churchill at El Toro. Stevie trucked those stairs first. They were sponsored by Stranger Pimo Federal (Tip Plus) & part of the old OSS crew which was started by Adam22 who also started the Come Up bmx blog. John Hicks filmed most of their clips going 8 years back. They are still some some of the Baddest Bmx videos ever on CZcams. I know Doug really dislikes Tip Plus products but I think those riders deserve credit for building a huge bmx following during those years, those guys would sacrifice themselves falling 50 times just to get 1 good clip on the street.
Nice list but could’ve done without the brutal injury
lol bro why did you open the video with a dude just totally getting wrecked. that was gnarly for sure.
My heart is crying for a WTP battleship.
Im choking on this muffin
I woke up in the hospital before, but it wasn't because I bought the wrong bike, lol. It's because it got dark, and I faceplanted into the landing ramp.
I got a subroa today 2023
That beginning hurt me. Ouch...
Great marketing I salute you for that for me I'm old-school the Medline nickel-plated frame Linda Proline mx123 those are my favorite Diamondback in power light oh yeah can't forget they got to have Tuff wheels on them oh yeah Moto mags we're nice but I like the t u f f s
Wait so the Malum is better than the Trust?
I was waiting for S&M/Fit. How come they aren't included?
S&m doesn’t build any complete bikes and fits complete line does not have a single bike with full chromoly for double wall rims
@@Dougsterbob now i understand.
One more thing... is there a chance for you to do reviews regarding parts? Like for example; best handle bars, best frame or best forks etc by using your point system style?
How does fit not have full chromoly bikes? Is it only the completes that aren’t full chromoly?
@@takeiteasy6346 the 20” completes are not full chromoly. None of them :( their after market frames are good quality! Not the completes
@@karl11 maybe! I’ve put a lot of thought into it and haven’t completely figured out how the algorithm would work. But eventually I’d like to!
dude the intro
only $640 my limit is $300 what do i get i had a haro back in the day
Did you check on bro?
So we just breeze past the intro like it was nothing
Let's pay our respects for the dead? Rip.
SUNDAY❤😈
Video advert is BMX but not a single BMX in the video. Video refers to freestyle/city bikes only.
Im on a 2nd hand 2012 Redline Syntax that I have upgraded all but the frame and forks. One day I will probably buy a complete, but I havent mostly because i like to choose my own colors.
Hola me gustan las
Bicis no practico tengo 40 años y quiero una mido 170 cm cual me recomiendan gracias banda
That intro💀
Wow
One thing that bothers me personally about the WTP Trust Raw is the heat Mark's from the welds.
I personally like that look lol
Where’s the best 2024 video I’m trying to speed some money!
