Yes, you can have a foot brake AKA coaster brake on a BMX. But it's not that common, apart from on bikes most intended for kids doing casual riding.
For dedicated riding, people prefer hand-operated brakes, as they make it faster to get back on power after braking.
The best types of brakes for a BMX bike are typically U-brakes or V-brakes. These types of brakes provide strong stopping power and are commonly used in BMX riding for their reliability and effectiveness.
most bmx bikes dont have front brakes now ans if you pedal backward and it has pedal brakes its not a bmx bike

BMX U brakes offer precise control and quick stopping power for BMX bikes. They are lightweight, easy to maintain, and provide a clean look without interfering with tricks or maneuvers. Additionally, U brakes allow for better modulation and adjustment, enhancing the rider's overall performance and safety on the bike.
Some of the best U brakes for BMX bikes available in the market include the Odyssey Springfield U-Brake, Dia-Compe AD-990 U-Brake, and the Tektro 930AL U-Brake. These brakes are known for their durability, performance, and compatibility with BMX bikes.
To tighten your BMX brakes effectively, first adjust the barrel adjuster on the brake lever to increase tension. Then, use an Allen wrench to tighten the brake cable at the brake caliper. Test the brakes to ensure they are tight and responsive before riding.
Yes, because as an bmx rider i aslo do trick ridding and we do need pedal brakes
That's a pretty muddled question, you might as well ask what makes shoes different from other shoes. BMX bikes can be built for different uses, there are race bikes that are light and have brakes, there are vert/trick bikes that don't have brakes and can take a lot of abuse.
Well, if you ever intend to ride it on the streets, it should have brakes.
It depends if you have a 3 piece crank, spokes, brakes.
BMX isn't a manufacturer, it's type of bicycle - just like sneaker is a type of shoe. BMX doesn't make any bicycles. Bicycle manufacturers make BMX bikes. And pedal brakes aren't that good on a performance bike, as you have to wait until your pedals are in the right position before you can brake. But it's possible that you can find a BMX-looking kids/juvenile bike with a pedal brake. Don't expect it to do particularly well if it gets ridden hard though.
Depends what size you are im 5 feet 10 and i ride a 20 inch bmx bike
