so nice to see another tutorial from you jball, tbh no one in my city knows how to ride fakie well even though you said it's relatively simple I can't wait to put your tutorial into practice!
This was awesome. I've fallen in love with the fixies after binging hotline videos and buying a road bike (been on MTB city commuters for decades). waiting on some bars and then I'm flippin the rear to fixed! excited to go out and practice this 👍
You can also do tricks on a 48-17 gear ratio, most people here in colombia use this gear reatio, however, is better to use gear ratios like the ones mentioned by jball for care your knees, and dont suffer after, KEEP PEDALING
Nice breakdown…1 question about difficulty learning on a grassy surface (or at least unpaved or cushy like playground rubber) as opposed to pavement? Ive ridden fixed for 10+ yrs so basic balance stopping trackstands are 2nd nature but due to ACL reconstructs to L/R knees i am deathly afraid of anything where my feet might suddenly hit the ground off-balanced or land weirdly from reverse momentum. IOW, i would prefer simply falling over on something softer while staying strapped in (but want to avoid roadrash) as opposed to accidentally twisting or re-tearing something trying to stop a fall. Also IYO, what’s usually easier for learning, 700 or 26” ? I got a 26 w/ 27x9 fgfs drive (w/ few bigger chainrings, 33t, 39t, 44t) and a conventional trackish 700 running 49x15… Keep up the fine work, definitely like how your video are always no frills, just the goods.
I think that learning on a grass type surface isnt impossible, but will definitely make it harder to actually apply pressure to your pedals. Not impossible though, go for it Personally I think that both wheel sizes are easy enough to learn on as long as your saddle is tall enough for you to comfortably sit down
Thanks for this tutorial :) Really hope it will motivate a few to learn this really stisfying skill. Do you know if there is a world record about the longest distance going batckward ? I recently learned how to do it and I would really like to try to beat this record. I think going in a straing line and changing to specific dirrection is the most difficult part to learn as your body need to start falling to allow you to correct the direction. Have an awesome day.

However there is some secret sauce to ride on a straight line. The handlebar correction you teach would make it difficult to go on a straight line. What’s the trick?
Thanks for the tutorial! I'm having problems with getting out of riding in a circle - any advice on that? Note that I don't know how to constantly ride a backwards circle :P
4 months later... but if you havent figured it out by now, I would try to force your body to go onto the other side. It wont feel natural but you have to break the cycle of just accepting being leaned to one side
@@Suckmycog 4 months later... and I still didn't figure it out :P. I'll try that, thanks. Btw. do you have any advice on riding in circle? My bike has a tendency to initiating riding in a very tight circle, to get out of it by steering I often run my front wheel 90 degrees to frame. Is it common?
@@Suckmycog yes! But when Im going straight backwards My whole bike just leans to one side making me fall and turning the bar seems to be making me fall faster
Ok but how do I ride forward
Hahah
Follow same steps but in reverse order
Thank you so much for this tutorial. The steering correction tip is awesome and actually counterintuitive!
That is soumd advice but I found it easier to just have the video play backwards @@Suckmycog
I also find keeping your arms straight as possible helps heaps!
Big facts

Love to hear it, hope you get it 🫡
The bar correction when turning into your lean made so much sense! Gunna put it to work!!

Let’s goooo
I love that you have no waffle and padding to make the video longer. Just facts. Cheers dude.
Sick tutorial!
Some cool ideas would be
Toe keo
Slider and Half Cab
Super slider
Pogo
Big spin
Nice one! You mentioned all of this super important moves. No excuses now boys, learn it you have all info that you need ❤🔥
I think after this video I'm gonna get it. Thanks!
@@tommyofastora we love to see it
Mega chill videos, thanks.
Thanks for the tip on correction, that's something I've been missing! I'm so curious what the tennis ball in the back wheel does 🙃
Swag points 😎
Nicee tutorial🖤
Can u do a video on how to wheelie with your front wheel stopped(like the front wheel stopped spinning) or how to wheelie with no hands.
That 29:5 Ratio would be crazyyyyyy
Right 😂
@@Suckmycog Feel like you or Chase H. could throw a triple hop bar on that ratio if it existed 😅
Love it. :D Keep it going!

thx for the tips
is there a video for nose bonk?

Do more tutorial
Now try to do reverse serpentine maneuver on it 😂

I dont think theres an official world record for it, go for it!
@@Suckmycog thanks will definilitely let you know 🤝😁

When you start to get more comfortable, you essentially begin to do it as such a micro level that it becomes a straight line
@@Suckmycogthis is awesome! Thank you so much 🙏
Love u

Is 48/16 okay for first time learning?
Yup!
I learned it from a trackstand circle, struggling to fakie straight any tips for me?
Have you tried going from a bank or endo? I think its much tougher starting from a trackstand
@@Suckmycog yes! But when Im going straight backwards My whole bike just leans to one side making me fall and turning the bar seems to be making me fall faster
One thing u need are 650 or fork trick or both
Why am i here 😱
True you already got this down
its useless i tried turning the bar to the part where im falling down and i still fell down
Stay on your seat!
