7 MTB Skills You Can Learn In A Parking Lot

[@1a2b3c4.]

I started cycling back in the 1970s, you kids have reinvented everything about riding a bike. With all the craziness on the road I put my road bike on a trail last year for the first time and I hit the dirt several times but I'm the type person who never gives up so I started to watch videos like this one.

[@Jackofafewtrades]

I love how Tom just shows up on a hardtail without making a fuss about it.

[@pinkbike]

Thanks Julian, I'm loving it! - Tom

[@kinslayerz]

Hi Tom! What hardtail are you riding in the vid?
Thanks in advance!
Ps. Love the tutorial! 👍🏻

So Danny MacAskill uses "the EDITOR trick" to do those backward wheelies, makes sense now! Ha ha!

[@th_js]

@@ahudjwbaba good job understanding the joke

Yeah i think he nose manualed up a bunch of switchbacks 🤣

[@marcjuheard922]

It's note editor that's is fakie

[@MxEdits101]

hahaha and fabio wibmer

[@Trichromasie]

i really like the facial expressions of this guy, he has the type of face that looks somehow agressive and rude but in the same time very friendly and funny.......like.....like jack nicholson for example

[@pinkbike]

haha Love that analogy! Tom definitely wears his expressions on his face -Christina

[@pinkbike]

haha AKA a face for radio - Tom

[@nimiro2668]

Wheelies really help me a lot, more than I thought. Just hop on a bench, trackstand, and wheelie down slowly. Feels great.

[@friedrichnietzsche1888]

I've really gotta practice my "editor" trick skills

[@AlBorland3877]

They almost got me with this. ^^

[@creepingjesus5106]

A case of 'fakey it til you make it'?

You have it! All backwards 😜

Ok

[@mikek9297]

That's easy - just get a fixie.

Legend has it that they are still waiting for Jason and have set the track stand world record in the meantime.

Tom and Christina are my spirit anim-......... riders??? I love em both!!! Best presenters. MORE OF THEM PLEASE!!!

Urban trials skills adds up on the trail. I find if I get in a difficult situation now, I dont bail and stop as much, I have a reflex or a move that will save me most times.

[@georgiewillme8620]

Do GMBN vs Pinkbike

[@kodygrant2896]

I love seeing Tom on Pinkbike

[@fazza2104]

Tom is such a great addition to the team

[@pinkbike]

Thanks Cookie time! - Tom

[@Sorairo08]

That's great! I'm new in this mtb world and this give me a more clear path for practicing

[@justinmarineau6951]

Try to learn bunny hop because it is really usefull in the trails. There is a lot of youtube videos about bunny hop and it is relativelly easy to learn.

[@danielstoica9640]

Wow actually one of the best "skills" videos I've ever seen. Thanks a lot

[@George-je1fs]

Just waiting for a mate

[@communistpengu171]

So fun watching you guys having fun!

[@TookaDoubleTake]

She said "this move is wheely important" when talking about the wheelie :D

[@v1d300]

I am so intrigued to know how 'The running man' starts and how it ends.

[@pinkbike]

no body knows.... but running man level 2 is to do a full lap around the bike ha.... - Tom

[@polishguywithhardtospellna8227]

The answer is simple: with tears 😂

[@lefthorse1]

I just come here to watch you Trek , the "S" size looks so awesome :) byway , i use to do bar spins , jumping over the handlebar without releasing the grips and landing on feet with the front wheel between legs , that "editor" for real , 180 turn on the front wheel , 180 turn on the back wheel , standing on the bike with no grips , wheelie on a circle , no foot cranks spinning ...

[@SoulBlazeNightmare]

lifting the back wheel has always been my Everest

[@gernottoventile_mtb]

The Editor!!

[@inayatkijangmasbike8206]

Good skill friend,

[@MxEdits101]

6:28 I took a while to figure out why they said the editor hahaha great job guys keep it up!

[@dzigerica666]

Wheelie important skills, thank you!

[@nasonguy]

Ah yes, the "?" party trick. Some times I even stick a foot out the back on that one and call it the "?!" party trick.

[@rolux4853]

When I do the „?“ I always imagine how cool it would be to take both hands off the bars while doing things.
Then I try to take one hand off, almost die because my front wheel instantly snaps to the side and remember to never do it again until the next time „?“!

[@nasonguy]

@@rolux4853 That wobble then panic grabbing the bar again, hopping back down to the pedals, and pedaling around hoping no one saw you.

[@dangitboy1918]

Great stuff!!!!!!!

[@chupetaparamahboy]

so you tell me to practice a front wheel lift without actually explaining the proper technique to do it. yes very useful thanks

Thanks for sharing your experiences - your reviews are outstanding. My uncle and I decided to purchase two Haidong Explorer bikes.

[@wpsean_ts7131]

Wow, this is a perfect tutorial for beginners

figure eights in parking spots... and seeing how fast you can stop after a spot from a sprint.

Awesome see you at the park !!

[@545future6]

sick video great tips :)

[@frankthetankricard]

Thanks for this. 👍🏻

lol "The Editor" was cool oh and "The Running Man"

That's what I want to know

[@davidschad1641]

Yo could you make a video for like more extended tricks? Like idk flat 180 or nose bonks, bunnyhop crankflip, just things that aren’t especially necessary for your trail riding but more for fun

What helps me with cornering is finding a bunch of loose and tight switchback and sessioning them. Practice cornering In the parking lot doesn’t help me because the pavement is super grippy

[@adonaydesalegn2227]

It is amazing

[@brandongear7184]

This is a great video! Even though we all know the only skill we practice in the car park is a wheelie

[@krakixx78]

6:22 my favorit haha

[@colefritz8161]

Out of all the skills in this video, the only ones I can currently do are the front wheel pop, the flying eagle, the running man, and the ?, but I hope to eventually get them all down

Can someone tell me what the song is from the intro to wheelie

Have been practicing crank flips. They are rather easy when compared to some other tricks but DO NOT LEARN THEM WITHOUT SHIN GUARDS. If you do, youll be no stranger to blood on your legs

What shorts does Christina have cause it's the sam colour as mine and we have the same kneepads

[@dariens1168]

I can’t do a wheelie no mater what😂

Should have had 50to01 do this video

[@justsomeone9876]

using the speed bump as a small ramp would be good for starting jumps trust me i use speed bumps alot

[@Karl_Hunt]

i wish i had a bike

Are wheelies really useful on a trail? I know how to wheelym, but Ive practically never used it on a trail.. Now bunny hops though...

[@willienillie6337]

I need to learn that stoppie thing. I see it very useful on tight switch backs. I tried ot once in my back yard and I went over the handle bars...not good.

[@staz88]

Could I have a link to the bike that Tom uses?
I really like his hardtail😁👍
