Check the YouTube clip of the “1st Annual ”Over The Bars’ Downhill BMX Jam”.. Mate, I love it. I’m so going to rip off the concept and run a BnC version of the ‘Over The Bars’ Jam next time I’m down south. Grab a heap of tip shop beaters (and hopefully at least one sidehack equipped bike) and rip up some fire trails near Hobart. I can think of at least a dozen suitable hills. Fk yeah.
On another note, found a potential hack manufacturer in Sydney. Matty made this filthy whip in his backshed and has been thrashing it on the race track with his brother. It’s a bolt on rig, so would suit the current BnC stable of BMX’s. Matt’s flat stick at the mo.. so no hack just yet. In the meantime I’ll keep hunting for hack…
Hey Benny
Do you know of any plans to use for building one of these?
Whats the tube steel/ally?
Got any photos of how it bolts on?
Nah, no ‘blueprint’ plans Bucks. Have done a shitload of Google research..Found loads of pics which I’ve studied closely for clues on how to build one..
There are two types of Hacks, bike-and-hack co-joined frame OR the bolt on garden variety.. These bolt onto the rear drop outs and via two U bolts around the headset (I think?).. Anyway if you are keen for more photos, look for my ‘BMX Sidehack’ Thread on http://www.farkin.net or do a search on the Vintage BMX Forum under ‘sidehack’.
Most seem to built from 4130 Cromoly Steel! SooooOOOoo we required a ‘tube bender’ to build one
