When I learned to wheelie I was scared of looping out so I did it on purpose on the grass and I was never afraid again so doing it on purpose it a good piece of advice
Yeah so I'm a pretty experienced mountain bike rider, I picked up my first BMX bike today - rode it out of the shop and went to drop off the curb, picked the front end up a little like I would on my mountain bike and proceeded to loop out and land flat on my back. Grass seems much more forgiving! (I got the manual down a couple hours later once I got comfortable with where the balance point of the BMX was.)
@@caketin4216 you just need to learn the balance points and where to distribute your weight, if you mean for bunny hops then try bending your legs a lot more and pull up harder. It's all to do with balance and timing
heres my bmx story. i got a mountain bike about a month ago, and ive been playing around with it a lot. its a full rigid giant something or other. in this month i've learned to get my front wheel up but not manual, and i can do drop offs/hop curbs with only a slight wobble here or there. then i was in walmart, waiting on a friend to do some shopping and i wandered over to the bicycles. i found myself looking at the mountain bikes, knowing how bad they were, then i saw it: a bmx junker. i checked that no employees were around, and with exactly no gear- not even skate shoes, i decided to try to manual. i pushed down in to my bars, and shot back like im used to doing on my full rigid, steel framed mtb with a 120 mm stem, and the next thing i knew i was lying on the walmart floor. i got up, did a quick look to make sure no one saw me, checked that the bike was okay, put it back where i found it, and hurried away, and now i think i want to save up and get something like a bmx.
Best bunnyhop advice ever. Every other channel says it’s a “manual connected to an endo”, but when you see the footage, this description is far more accurate. In the manual you get away from the handlebar while bunnyhopping you’re pulling said handlebar towards your waist. Big difference. I’m 46, learning this stuff and this video has helped me the most.
Been riding a bmx bike for transportation for years now. I love getting air when I'm getting speed and I hit a lip and I whip my handlebars to my body and capitalize. I think I'm gonna start trying to do tricks.
I just discovered these and I'm glad I did, I'm 37 and about to start riding again after a 10 year hiatus. Really cool to see you rediscover bmx and I'm looking forward to doing the same thing! Thanks for posting!
Hey, I am a big fan. I was wondering why you do not make an edit of you riding? I love to watch you ride because you have an interesting approach at different things; I think I speak for alot of viewers when I say that. So, maybe consider it? Thanks.
This is great stuff. I am now getting back into this thing after more than a decade and the outline of the basics is refreshing and motivating at the same time. Thanks for taking the time to put together videos and detailed descriptions.
Great stuff Seth. I'm really thinking into getting a BMX. How come the music kept playing on and off everytime you introduced a new topic/skill in the video?
When you talked about how to bunny hop really helped me more than a lot of videos. I practiced just pulling my bars to my waist and that really helped! Thanks ❤️
Ya it's possible but I strongly recommend buying a BMX bike. Like if your staring out and have a low budget, check out the Framed Impact BMX bike, it was my first and I liked it, it's a great begging bike and it only costs around $125
Having a bad bike is no excuse to not being able to do some tricks keep practicing you can get just as good with your mongoose. Get a better bike when you can but you're good for now
SuperSlayer mongooses arent as bad as people think as long as you go to their actual website and buy a bike that isnt being sold in low end stores youll be fine
I rode as a kid. I been riding again everyday for about a month. This video is really helpful. I am doing some of these things. I was really good as a kid. I love it so much. I'm DRYING to get better again. Thanks peace
I finally got it, I finally figured out how to do the bunny hop and manual. Instead of trying and failing over and over, I just watched some slo mos of bunny hops and manuals and thought about the physics and what it would be like to do it myself
Similar, but you need to deal with the pedaling part and the bigger bike. Obviously you can only wheelie a fixie too, not manual. I may do some fixie tutorials later this year.
thanks man ... very well spoken, and easy to fallow. now take to the street. I love the learning process. I know somethings don't come over night, just keep at it if you love it and things will come together... Charlie m.
this channel has inspired me to take my bike out and learn some new damn tricks beside bunny hoping after 6 years in the garage my haro is finding new life haha
I always rode BMX bikes growing up but never got good at it. I loved downhill mountain biking but trials were tough to find. Many years later, I think I’m ready to get back into a BMX bike. Just cleaned up my Flybikes and I’ve gotten comfy with riding wheelies, doing manuals for a little bit, and fakie but can’t quite turn around yet. I can almost footjam tailwhip but haven’t gotten back on the pedals. My Bunny hop is weak but hopefully these tips help.
Seth is one of the people that inspired me to start riding bmx, I've been wanting to start for 3 years, but i bought my first bike like one year ago, and from the average bmx rider experience i have, i would say that the bike that Seth is using could be an OK bike for a beginner, but i would recommend to get something else if you're doing more intermediate tricks because this bike is mostly made of high tensile stell, doesn't have an integrated headset neither it has good components. Anyways, thank you seth for inspiring me to start riding bmx✊✊✊👍👍👍
I was really surprised how much I learned in 1 month: 15 meters manual, bunnyhop to where the stem is, 180 and whiplash. All the sweat, blood and repetition pays off real fast
This is really good thank you, I have been riding a bmx bike for two years but never learned any tricks because I thought I just wasn't naturally skilled enough and too weak, but you make it seem easy I want to try to learn :D
NEWBIES: I’ve learned that all UA-camrs aren’t very good at telling how to bunny hop. The first part he said was true, the bring the bars to your hips part. But it’s not just all in the arms. Use your dominant foot and tilt your pedal slightly down and leave your other foot flat. After you finish the bar to hip motion, push back and pull up with your dominant foot that you have tilted forward and you WILL get your back end off the ground. Remember, timing is key.
@@omzxa8415 I learnt 180 but haven't ridden in winter I had a hard time with 180s because I had too low speed I don't remember the tricks in the video but I'm working Manny and 180
thank you for the helpful tips because I am a skater but I recently bought a bmx n I would like to learn some tricks because a lot of kids do bmx where I live
A cassette is a lot like a freeWHEEL, only the engagement system is inside the hub of a cassette and a freewheel threads onto the outside of the hub. Both of those require you to pedal backwards when going fakie (backwards). A freeCOASTER allows you to fakie without having to pedal backwards.
When I learned to wheelie I was scared of looping out so I did it on purpose on the grass and I was never afraid again so doing it on purpose it a good piece of advice
Yurmom yeah I did same thing but have been practicing for a month since learning hail and I still can’t
:( it’s a mental thing I wanna learn
I used to ride and just got back into it and its like i started fresh i lost all my skill had to fall off purposely lol

Looks so easy and I feel confident UNTIL I am sat on my bike 🙁
What about now lol
@@burgerboyz4270 Gave up... Sold the bike!!! seems no mater how many YT videos I watch over and over I just don't get any better. lol
@@Benny46drift dude it takes time you should buy a new one and try again just put a shit load of time in and hey you might be really good

Skidin Dingo snap lmao
Yeah bmx is the best
I tought this was like a motivational story when the trick worked the first time on a bmx but nah, this was better
Good story
Mtbs aren’t bad Mtb and bmx are both just as sick

How ya doin so far?
He can probably tailwhip by now

Just bought a $400 BMX bike today. Can't wait to start tomorrow - 3 hour drive :(
Monkey D. Luffy congrats man
Slingshot I’m two years late but do you have a update? I just started bmx so it’s kinda confusing
@@naitlvv Whats confusing about it?
Running the timings like how I lift the front wheel and then I need to snap the back one.
Haro?
im getting into BMX and watching a bunch of vids so far ive really been liking yours keep up the good work and u earned a new sub
Blizter giu I recommend a kink bmx it's a really good starter bmx and if you want get the launch it's my favorite
Yeah I'm a skater I wanna start bmxing to
Its Skye buy a bike lol
William G lmfao me, I just hate the roads where I live cracks everywhere basically have no fun especially that I'm always alone when I skate.
I'm a skater who just got into bmx check out my GoPro bmx first time on my channel
No worry about your feet coming off because if it hits you its hurts like shit
Hmm maybe its your shoes try wearing runners
F7 Strafe he was mentioning what Seth said about bunnyhopping. he said all you need is the arms
Omar Henry stop being a bitch that's what happens in sports
Boy my feet came off mid air and I landed with enough force to snap my shin in half and tear my ACL off the bone

Looking back at Seth's simple videos. 5 minutes or less, calm and informative. Still a great channel, but nothing will compare to this.
My Sunday Bmx bike comes in 2 days. Cant wait to try some tricks.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the ninja pug graffiti
Yes
Love it
Easily the best one of these types of videos. I just watched a bunch and watched this one last, and you do such a better job of explaining things.
Just got a bmx, and this really helped.
S ame
Oh and this was 10 months ago how much did u learn?
who is watching this after they just got a bmx
you
mee
Me I got a got a sundae
I'm still learning
I am getting my BMX soon, it isnt a very expensive one, but i am not gonna do tricks that need insanely expensive bmxes :)
I remember watching this when I just started it’s cool to know I learned all this in like 4 months
I wish your channel was around when I first started riding! Keep up the great content!

didn't even mention the scoop for the bunny hop
+carlos juncal because you don't need to scoop
+Seth's Bike Hacks I feel it helps more
It is actually a j hop
bunny hop, j hop, doesnt matter. its just about getting the bike off the ground ;p
bunny hop jhop are the same thing
Dope Video. Im 27 getting into bmx and this is literally all I want to learn. maybe a feeble...
Keep up the good work seth
I own a [giant atx 27.5 kinda like your trek
I finally got an bmx. I learned the bunny hop from this video. Thanks a million.
I like your Videos
Who doesn't?😱
+Henry Oxburgh I know left?
Its a joke. Please don't be dumb.
@@nyxx7813 A pretty bad one though... xD
This is the best BMX beginners tutorial out there. Thank you!
I have a mongoose is it possible for me to do any tricks?
yh
Ya it's possible but I strongly recommend buying a BMX bike. Like if your staring out and have a low budget, check out the Framed Impact BMX bike, it was my first and I liked it, it's a great begging bike and it only costs around $125
After a year or two I upgraded to a Eastern and I love it

Got my first BMX a few days ago.... now I’m learning how to bunny hop. Thanks seth
Who watch this before to get a bmx?
So I recently started watching your videos. You can tell you really love bike, you take so much abuse from them and just keep going.
Are redline bmx bikes any good ??
Yes. They are very good bikes
Came back to this, getting one for Xmas!
can you do nose manual
not for very long
Jappe Kapanen my cousin can
Such a well produced and clearly instructed video. Well done Seth. Us old guys returning to BMX appreciate it.
Did anyone else try a manual for about an hour and then remember that you have a race BMX
Tristan Thompson me, but I’ve actually managed to do it lol
I love watching your channel. You explain this a lot better than other riders
4 skills first to learn at bmx 360 and 180 at first part Xd
I rode as a kid. I been riding again everyday for about a month. This video is really helpful. I am doing some of these things. I was really good as a kid. I love it so much. I'm DRYING to get better again.

I thought freecoaster is the hub that you can pedal backwards on and a cassette hub you can only pedal forwards
A cassette is a lot like a freeWHEEL, only the engagement system is inside the hub of a cassette and a freewheel threads onto the outside of the hub. Both of those require you to pedal backwards when going fakie (backwards). A freeCOASTER allows you to fakie without having to pedal backwards.
