March 2023 Archive: Your One‑Stop BMX Recap

If you’re wondering what happened on the BMX scene in March 2023, you’re in the right spot. This archive pulls together every post we published that month – from new trick tutorials to gear deep‑dives and race highlights. Think of it as a quick‑fire briefing before you hop on your bike.

Top Tricks That Dropped in March

We kicked off the month with a step‑by‑step guide on the 360 tailwhip. The breakdown showed where to start the spin, how to keep your bike level, and the exact foot placement that makes the trick feel smooth. Readers loved the slow‑motion clips, and many reported landing it on their first try.

Mid‑month we tackled the backbone grind. The article covered the ideal approach line, how to set up your body for balance, and a quick drill to build confidence on low rails. We even added a short FAQ that answered the most common “what if I slip?” concerns. The feedback was clear – riders felt more secure attempting the grind at their local skatepark.

Closing the trick series, we shared a guide to the shell to tailwhip combo. This one balances technical control with style, so we broke it into two parts: getting the shell right and transitioning into the tailwhip without losing speed. The combo quickly became a fan favorite, with dozens of video submissions posted in our community forum.

Gear Reviews & Must‑Have Parts

Gear lovers got their fill too. Our first review covered the new FlyTech 6061 frame. We tested it on both street and park rides, measured weight, stiffness, and how it handled jump landings. Verdict? Light enough for tricks, stiff enough for big gaps – a solid pick for riders looking to upgrade without breaking the bank.

We also did a deep dive on the GripMaster Pro handlebar tape. The article compared durability, grip in wet conditions, and how the tape felt on long rides. Real‑world testing showed the tape stayed tacky after hours of sweating, making it a top recommendation for anyone who rides in unpredictable weather.

Another highlight was the review of the ShockX front fork. We measured travel, rebound, and how it handled impact on rough park terrain. The fork earned high marks for smoothness and adjustability, and the article included a quick setup guide to fine‑tune it for different riding styles.

Beyond gear, we posted a quick “how to clean your bike in 5 minutes” checklist. It’s a simple routine that keeps chains, bearings, and frames in good shape, extending the life of the equipment we just reviewed.

All these posts sit together in the March 2023 archive, ready for you to browse, bookmark, and share. Whether you’re chasing a new trick, hunting for gear advice, or just want a recap of the month’s buzz, you’ll find everything in one place.

So jump in, scroll through the posts, and pick the piece that fits your current ride goals. Got something to add? Our comment sections are open, and the community loves hearing about your own March milestones.

When cycling, it is important to wear clothing that is comfortable, breathable, and non-restrictive. Tight-fitting clothing can be dangerous as it can cause chafing, overheating, and can even restrict movement. It is also important to wear bright and reflective clothing, as it will help you to be seen by other cyclists or motorists, even during the night. Moreover, it is recommended to avoid loose clothing as it can get caught in the bike chain and cause an accident.
