the learning curve on airs is so crazy. once you get past that initial fear of both tires over the coping, the rest comes naturally
I had nasty frash at 38 and our park was closed for like 2 years I'm 40 and want to learn to properly air so I get ya
I'm a 36 yo mountain biker but I found a skatepark on a ride one day with lots of different sized quarters. Thought it looked so fun so I got a BMX off marketplace, fixed it up real nice, and headed down. After an hour I really started building skills and gaining confidence until I went too fast into a quarter, panicked, & ditched the bike... I'm determined to head back and catch some air after this vid thank you
Same here only ride mtb, I'm 38 and picking up a bmx of marketplace tomorrow lol
This video is so old and so short and still the most helpful one around. I never thought about going sideways first, I always try and go straight on and 180 and it just freaks me the fuck out, but that's what every video said to do first. His sideways small rotation looked so much easier to get comfortable with
best help vid hands down, you explained it PERFECT, and the camera work is SPOT ON
This and the Tommy D tutorial are the best for airs
Here in 2024 Getting back into BMXing ;) Thanks from the future
The Ride BMX logo looks like Steams(valvE) logo but backwards
Mutterbilk Correction: Steam's logo looks like our logo, but backwards.
Stitch up
Ride BMX or is it the steam logo and we only see it thru a mirror
By any means run it up
This is probably the best explained. Thanks!!!
Best part is the end 😂
I just taught myself disasters so I know somewhat how it feels to overshoot the coping and learn control. This video will help though.
every time my front tire gets over the coping I freak out.
me too
i was trying them for ages i just cant get myself to fly up it way to scared
That means ur just plain old shit
@@ross8625 not everyone has a fucking joyride 150 in his area.
me too
this helps a ton and I'm a noob at bmx
Awesowm video and explanation Gary thanks!
Best tutorial out there, thanks!
Awesome video
This is at my local park 🤘🏽
You really helped me thx
THATS MLK PARK I USED TO RIDE that PARK LIKE CRAZY!
U know what. Im kinda scared of going over the coping. I can go straight up a quarter and do a 180 and go straight back down but not over the coping. But tomorrow.. Im gonna ride some bowl and Im gonna try to just send a 180 over the coping
Wow I can't air out my local park cuz of the frikin quater pipes are more like dirt jumps !!!!!!
Sounds fun.
My left ear thanks you
I really need to learn to do this better. I suck at airing.
I wanted tips on waiting for your rear tire to hit but he didn't even talk about it. I have a bad habit of hopping earlier so I case often and can't go much higher than 2-3 ft above coping
Awsome
FIRST!!!! and this is a good how to thx
So I'm left foot forward and air to my left about 3 ft high so I'm super good then? Haha
every time I try to air a more shallow quarter like a 6 foot or something I case :(
I guess I need to learn how to do a 180 first.
nevermind.
Adam Oliva nevermind
can i post my video of doing the spine at farmington nm skatepark?
Anyone swap pedal position for turning to their opposite direction that normally feel comfortable with ?
Thank you. I've never really been a skate park person but I've gotten curious how all that ramp riding works. This helps me out so I have more knowledge on how to ride. I mean,I wouldn't really be doing tricks,so that's all I need to know. All my bike doesn't have is a gyro. It wasn't really meant for skate parks. It has the capabilities though because it does have a small sprocket like freestyle bmx bikes.
Comments are coming
no videos from this channel in a year or more? Too bad, good content :/
ride bmx is out of business
I'm afraid of coping because on my quarterpipe it's really sticking out of the ramp
***** you should be alright for the coping side you just need to commit
thanks SC Bmx It took a week to get it without being afraid,it was long time ago when I wrote this comment ;)
How good are you now
@@incog What a blast from the past this is. I got my drivers licence and sold the bike. BMX days were the best.
How do you get your back wheel to pop off the coping, my back wheel leaves the ground like a foot before the coping and I still go above coping
wait for your front wheel to pop off the pop the back out
jack thebmxer yeah, I've got it now haha
I'm left foot forward, butdo flat ground 180's to my left, but when i'm practicing airing quarters, i go right.... am i dumb? it just feels safer and more natural.. i've been riding for about a year, and skateboarding for 12+ years. on a board riding regular(left foot in front), i 180 to my right. I feel weird.
Do you. You'll probably be able to do a bunch of weird tricks once you get more comfortable...
Its never a bad idea to learn both ways but generally speaking, finding the easiest side and sticking to it at first will help you perfect it better than randomly spinning anyway and not having perfect control. Im left foot forward and spin to the right. But you do you
Yank it - your next pro. Model.
Great vid
this is the one thing i can’t do i’ve crashed on every attempt
Fuck... I’m stuck in this trick😭😭😭
i am left foot forward and i rotate to the left.. Do i need to learn to rotate to the right or change footposition?
+Zimfox no its the same
No. Do what feels correct and when you have mastered it I recommend you learn to turn to the right
doesnt mattet
I appreciate Gary's advice but bunnyhopping should never be part of airing a quarterpipe. Everyone needs to look up Etnies youtube channel and search for Tom Dugan's airing how-to.
smooth aIIoy you have no sense, the fact that sunday has a lifetime warranty on SOME parts doesn't make them better than fit
woah MLK skatepark
Thanks for the video very helpful I'll make sure to make sweet love to it
Wtf??? I ride at mlk every weekend
I’m convinced I’ll just never be able to do this properly, I have whips and bars down but airing a quarter a foot is like my max unless it’s a big one
can i post my video of doing the spine at farmington nm skatepark?
