I have not rode a bike for a year or so and when i went to my friends i tried to ride a mountain bike and fell off and rode in to a bin....So for christmas i am getting a bike which is either a BMX Race bike or a BMX Freestyle bike and i think it is easier to ride a smaller bike so which one is smaller
Answer
Freestyle bikes are usually much shorter so that tricks that involve spinning can be pulled off more easilly.
Race bikes are longer as they spend alot of time in the air (making them more stable)
But it depends on the type of freestyle - Bmx's that are meant for trails (dirt jumps) have a longer rear end to make it more stable but street and park bmx's are shorter so more technical tricks are easier.
So if you plan on doing tricks then get a short bike like this:

Or a long bike like this if you dont:

If you dont plan on doing tricks the longer bike will be better

Pedaling backwards on a spin bike?
Your Mothe
Does pedaling backwards on a spin bike exercise different muscles on the legs than spining forwards?
A black hole created by a spin bike? How does that work?
If you have ever ridden on a spin bike before, it's not like a normal bike or a normal stationary bike. The flywheel make resistance both backwards and forwards.
Answer
Doing this does not work different muscles. If you spin correctly, ie. pushing down in the front of the stroke, and pulling up on the back end, you work every muscle in your legs.
With that said, you should it is still beneficial to pedal backwards. This is because you are still working every muscle, but you are working them in different ways. The more you shock or surprise your muscles, the more you will benefit from a work out.
So in short same muscles, but different work out.
P.S. There is still resistance backwards, and every one knows that you have to pedal faster to create a black hole, not backwards, unless you are below the equator.
