Some of the best tutorials ever! I'm 48 and just getting into bmx along with my son. You're a rad teacher Spencer and a great ambassador for the sport!. Thank You!
41 year old. Been haunting these videos for about a year or more. Finally just ordered my first BMX since I was like 10. Looking forward to goofing off all fall. Cheers!
I'm assuming that you have already rode a bike for a while but want to move on to bmx. Either way just make sure you spend some time just cruising and getting 100% comfortable on your bike, it will make learing so much easier.
Joseph Falco As said above ^^ Spencer has a video on tricks for beginners which helps develop bike control. Check it out! Search "Spencer Foresman Key to Learning". Wear a helmet and pads(definitely a helmet, try get shin/knee pads asap)and have fun!
Explained so well. I’m 42 and just got back into bmx so I could enjoy it with my son. My days of bmx were all about racing, not Street. This really helps. Right now I’m stuck on committing to the 180. Maybe I’m just to old, LOL
Fakie was like the hardest thing I tried to learn, thanks to watching this video over and over again I finally managed to pull it off 😅 big up man like Spencer 👍
Thoes are some good pointers, Capt Woodward. You should do more basic trick tutorials, I feel like most of us learn how to land them, but not how to do them correctly.
Rahziel420 he's also really good at showing those little things you can do before you can do the actual trick that keep it entertaining while learning bike control. instead of just failing over and over, you can work up to things
Dude your videos are top notch compared to most biking channels with over the top intro and clickbaity titles. I learn new stuff from all of your videos. Keep it up✌🏻
loving these videos. Stuff that's achievable for the beginners of the beginners, whilst constantly progressing and preparing you for harder stages in the future
Thanks Spencer man. I appreciate all the time and effort you put into these video's. Going to try and teach an old dog new tricks, your tips are already helping. Cheers man
Thanks for making this video man! fakies always felt weird to me. I got a freecoaster as my first bike like 5 months ago and I just went straight for 3s because my rollouts always felt wierd. But that outro was fire AF!!! I started my channel recently and honestly you were a huge inspiration. Thanks mane!!
Okay, here is my short story: Back in 2009 my mom bought me a brand new BMX (Haro F2), entry level yeah. I didn't learn any tricks back then, except I learned the bunny hop. Now I'm 24 and in the last two weeks I took the BMX out on the road again and learned fakie in like 5 days but like 3-4 hours total practice. I can do like 3 meters or 10 feet. Now I'm practicing how to make the body turn out of fakie. *It's never too late for a BMX!*
coming back from spinal chord injury 2014 downhill longboard racing.... so yeah, im re learning bmx fakies again... i feel so small... but im sure itll take a few more tries than i think... 1/2 finished with 8x24 halfpipe... - 12ft wide was the norm back in the 80's - but i have a 3ft drop off this side of the ramp = MOAB face plant... so fakiies are on my list- till i get more plywood next week !!!!! brakes would be nice too....nahhh !!!!!!!
I just learned them before this vid came out at first I just cranked as fast as I could backwards but I realized it's easier to crank back slower so gauge how fast you're going and crank backwards just a tad faster than that
I learned fakies with a friend holding my cross bar it was awhile ago in the winter so I pressed off a wall and my friend helped me down a hall way in my house lol
fakies are actually slaying me right now. I'm thinking my balance is just off. I've had a couple of close ones with the turn on the roll back, but CHRIST
Thanks for the tips man I'm gonna give it a go.. I'm a new rider only been riding for a few months now..I have a question am I too old to start riding bmx? Would like some feedback thanks again Spencer
I am very tall and I hunch a little on my bike. I have a problem with ending up to close to my bars when doing fakies, so pulling bars becomes impossible. I can do the rollback and stop with pedalpressure, but my pivots suck
I can 180 but broke my thumb on the 4th of July, so I’ve been practicing fakie and turn around but I just found I roll out the wrong way. Been practicing for awhile. I can get it almost everytime with breaks 😂
Whenever I do a fakie I like to apply pedal pressure with my right foot but I like to ride with my left foot forward and I don't know witch way I should turn out.
Damn Spencer, I'm trying to "lock up and chill out" but its not working yet. Maybe I can't ride straight, or maybe I'm not locking up because I'm chilling out for sure.

Kody Johnson You know how to famine? :0 :D
Billy Sherrington 😂😂😂for years!
What sorta communist country do u live in???

Dude your videos are top notch compared to most biking channels with over the top intro and clickbaity titles. I learn new stuff from all of your videos. Keep it up✌🏻
Thank you Spencer! Because of your videos I learnt how to fakie in a span of a few minutes. So much awesome information and tips to help out.
Your videos are always entertaining and killer to watch. Best how to’s on UA-cam. You cover all the bases for a born again bmx’r

The wind caught your bike at the end. Nice video, good tips, I'll be trying them out

But that outro was fire AF!!! I started my channel recently and honestly you were a huge inspiration. Thanks mane!!
Enyi Kelly It's actually probably easier to learn on a cassette. Pedaling back helps you keep balance, and the pedal pressure helps you roll out.
Spencer - Thanks for the How To's, man! Helps a lot
Appreciate the how to's, fakies are the first thing I'm working on when the doctor gives me the ok to get back on my bike
very useful, so many good tips! literally the best fakie how to ive found
Cory Puppy Arms Berglar appreciates the lesson :D
Very Great Tutorial Spencer. You put a lot of tips and tricks in here that I don't see anywhere else Awesome video.
omg spencer, I just got my 1st faikie out. I love you so much
Best how to video I have ever seen! 🤘

*It's never too late for a BMX!*
Would buying a mafia frame help me fakie?? Or are they only good for being kites
Liam Swepstone they are good for being kites
They are cheap and light so they can spin around really quick 👍
I am 12 i learnt the fakie on a 28 pound bike i fint it easier on i heavier bike beacause the tire is easyeu to slide
nah aslong as its a decent bike
this guy has such a huge heart
i feel accomplished because spencer foresman has done a how to on a trick i already know how to do.
😂
thank you

JustinDowellBMX i

best tips on fakie i've seen
Thanks for the tips screw the haters
I really like all that you doing and watch every video!) i now that it will be funny anyway!)) BUT i think that your "how to" is super helpful!
I skateboard but I have a bmx and Surprisingly I learned this very fast
This is great. Defo gonna be using this next time I'm practicing fakies
That was the sickest outro ever. How many takes was that? First T?
Perfect timing.... I was just wondering on my fakies as well... thank u
coming back from spinal chord injury 2014 downhill longboard racing.... so yeah, im re learning bmx fakies again... i feel so small... but im sure itll take a few more tries than i think... 1/2 finished with 8x24 halfpipe... - 12ft wide was the norm back in the 80's - but i have a 3ft drop off this side of the ramp = MOAB face plant... so fakiies are on my list- till i get more plywood next week !!!!! brakes would be nice too....nahhh !!!!!!!
I’m just learning this. I can’t wait to try some of these tips!
Bought a bmx because of u att 33 of age. Looks damn fun even to just roll in fakie.
More how to's please Spencer, that was good! 👍
I just learned them before this vid came out at first I just cranked as fast as I could backwards but I realized it's easier to crank back slower so gauge how fast you're going and crank backwards just a tad faster than that
I pretty much do what you are saying but haven't nailed the quack sound yet.
Thanks spencer really helped me learn fakie
best fakie video ever
I learned to roll back a lot today and I came here to learn to get out of it
Bob Ross of bmx
Do a how to kickflip on bmx it would, really help thank you.🙂
Slide ur foot on the trucks and it should flip 👌
@Aditya Rahardian cant wait for the tre flip tutorial
I can do the fakie to roll forward on 5:33 but I can't roll out... gotta try those tips you give! thanks man
0:06 what was that meh noise
Him
OK so my son is struggling with this, I just watched this, I'm a 47 yr old mum......its that good even I understand it 😂
so now I can help my son
Great video. No one else mentions the head turn. Certainly would need the helmet when you fall down.
Great video! Appreciate your teaching!
I can fakie pretty well but this still helped loads cheers boi
Thank you! That helped me so much with my fakie
Dude! Applying pedal pressure was the tip! Today I got it about 5 times!
If I cold I subt twice to you, best UA-camr!
I like watching Raymond learn, Because he’s goofy.
Should do a how to 5 cab
Tyler The Uncreator nah, how to 7 cab to fakie manual to full cab bar
Great vid, if you dont have a ramp to use for starting to roll backwards. What do you recommend? A wall or some kind of slope?
Pedal resistance. Totally worked 🤗
I learned fakies with a friend holding my cross bar it was awhile ago in the winter so I pressed off a wall and my friend helped me down a hall way in my house lol
You didn't mention it, but I notice you do a little hop right after you hit the top of the ramp before it starts to roll back.
it helps my fakie A LOT!!
I love ur videos this how to helped me tons
fakies are actually slaying me right now. I'm thinking my balance is just off. I've had a couple of close ones with the turn on the roll back, but CHRIST
Does anyone else watch how too on a trick you have on lock just so u can watch some bmx content
I watched over 500 tutorials on bunny hops
Only spencer could make a 14 minute on how to fakie
Love it. I built a small ramp to practice these
the duck sounds are unique and fun
Thanks for the tips man I'm gonna give it a go.. I'm a new rider only been riding for a few months now..I have a question am I too old to start riding bmx? Would like some feedback thanks again Spencer
I know I am not Spencer… and I know it’s been two years since you wrote this, but it is never too late to ride bmx
Awesome video!!
What grips do you use
How to 180 with cheat codes next please!

I liked the video spencer thanks I will have to try that its hard at first then its easy to do
Do at tutorial for footjam 180
I am very tall and I hunch a little on my bike. I have a problem with ending up to close to my bars when doing fakies, so pulling bars becomes impossible. I can do the rollback and stop with pedalpressure, but my pivots suck
I can 180 but broke my thumb on the 4th of July, so I’ve been practicing fakie and turn around but I just found I roll out the wrong way. Been practicing for awhile. I can get it almost everytime with breaks 😂
im right foot forward and spin to the right and cant cab out should i be trying to back pedal and roll out on my left foot foward
thx bro helped me out a lot
I need help with my half cabs.
My freecoaster blew out now im back to cassette but its hard to do anything again. Any tips ?
do a 180 tutorial i’m scared to send it .
Whenever I do a fakie I like to apply pedal pressure with my right foot but I like to ride with my left foot forward and I don't know witch way I should turn out.
I saw Anthony Panza doing a fakie without pedaling backward, how does he do that?
4:53
I don’t know if it’s good but I’m right foot forward but whenever I roll out of a fakie I press down with my left foot instead of my right
this was great 😂😂
spencer should ride a coaster for a vid
Damn Spencer, I'm trying to "lock up and chill out" but its not working yet. Maybe I can't ride straight, or maybe I'm not locking up because I'm chilling out for sure.
Please,do HOW TO barspins next !
LIL PUMP if you want tips you can let me know
LIL PUMP He already has a video on "the easiest way to land barspins"
