Don't worry about how fast you're progressing compared to other people. I learned full 180s in a year, then 360s, and then 180s to half cabs by the end of two years. Tricks come with time. Always keep a 5 year goal in your mind. Of course you will land the trick you want in 5 years. Keep pushing, it gets more fun as time goes on. The beginning is the hardest part.
i think this needs to be said in the video for everyone :) its a great tip of advice i see alot of riders call it quits or give up because they arent progressing as fast as others. i too took a year to learn 180s and still working on 360s but like you both said its all about having fun!
Been riding for 13 years. Have yet to land an air out bar or whip. But have done 540’s. Almost 7’s. Manual like a beast and have mad style. One day I’ll have those two tricks on lock. New year, new bike. Gunna make my first expensive custom build. I’m 26 lol
on day two with learning fakies, shit is so frustrating lol and i have pretty decent bike control already but it's a whole new thing to learn going backwards
i had the hardest time learning to spin. i had a mental block always clipped my back wheel on the lip and constantly looking down at my back wheel rather than where i was going to land. it's really important to keep your head up, spot your landing, and don't try to yank it too early. nice how to! also i miss the FL guys.
I just learned 360s out of a bank after about a year of riding (I don’t ride a lot, usually a session once a week) I never did 3 pivots. I learned half cabs about a month ago in 20 minutes. This video helped thanks spencer
I love the advice. I know how to do all these basics but you give good advice because I remember learned all this by trial and error. Much blood. Much pain lol. Years and years. Too bad I don’t have Spencer’s skill
Could you do a how to on airing out of bowls? I know it sounds dumb but I just bought a BMX a few weeks ago and went to the skatepark and was scared of airing out of the concrete bowl there haha. The one time I did I hit my back tire on the lip and almost was thrown over the handlebars.
Jack Parker My tip is go fast so you can "air".Turn your head so you can see your landing. thats how i air without casing, maybe i am just bad at explaining it because its simple for me because i already ride for a while.
Basically you'll know if you're going to case before you even case. When you learn how to spot a case before it happens, basically you want to lean your butt as far over the back tire as possible and push down on the bars into the ramp as hard as possible. Sounds really counter productive, but if you try to fight it you're going to be sent over the bars. Lean back, push down, keep the bike straight.
This works. I first found a bank, would 180 and come back down. Then I learned disasters, just go a bit faster and spin later. Your back tire will land on the fly out then hop back in. Go even faster spin later and get them fakies dialed and you can 180 out of banks. Now for flat ground.
You're probably taking off too 'low'.. For 540's and even 720's for the matter you wonna take off right at the very top of the ramp (Coping) which is probably something you aren't doing with a 360 as most people don't as it isn't necessary.
Tip: if you spin to the left naturally, look over your shoulder to the left. This works as well for switch if you look in that direction that you spin. This is how I learned 360's.
When I try 3s I always land about 270 and i have a freecoaster and I can't 3 pivot atm but I'll try some now and I cant get my head round 360 I only get 3/4 the way round 🙃
I had a buddy that road free coaster, he said to 360 tire tap you have to spin hard and not use any pedal pressure. Like doing it without a chain pretty much.
another tip, if you can fakie a little bit but struggle with 180s just go faster like a full crank or a little more trust me you'll learn them faster and they look better
You may have covered this in a previous video but how much do you weigh? I’m 25, 5’10 around 225 pounds and was wondering if I was too big for a 21” bike or if you had any recommendations? I haven’t rode a bike in about 10 years but recently my interest have been resparked in bmx
Any time I try any type of spin, especially nose-pivot spins, I feel like I'm landing with a lot of sideways force on my back wheel. Any advice on landing properly to avoid that?
You're under or over rotating if you land full 180 or full 360 it will feell natural Also turn the bars in the opposite diraction that you're spinning to land fakies easier
Spencer how do I get more rotation, I can 180 and 360 but I'm trying to learn 540's I do my 3's flat as well as 180's but I also do them outta a tub with cooping. But I just can't seem to get any more rotation. How can I add more rotation to my spin?
Got my 10° hops on lock
Me to
Ditto
Sammeee

Need bout 3 fiddy

Tom Cunnington i take awhile to learn tricks too. thanks for the advice and remember bmx is for fun!

I can do 180 half cabs but not 360s? Werid

You make the most important fundamental how to's on tricks I totally skipped over. Do manuals next that would be dope.
I'm pretty sure he's already covered manuals.
I did a search on his page before posting actually and turned up nothing.
Rayle Slayre it wasn't just on manuals. He covered it in a video with a bunch of other tricks
Ah would you mind linking it to me for my lazy ass?
he did a video with adam lz on manuals a while back
Spencer, your one of the most coolest guys to learn from.. I like your methods
Thanks spencer I landed my first 180 fly out on my mtb
I don't know why iwatched this, i do 720on dirtjumps… but i love spencer
F L E X
Theo Trovato Translation: "I just wanted everyone to know I can 720- Or at least say I can over the internet..."
Theo Trovato 🤘🏼Awesome video brother ! Keep it up ! Looking forward to watch the next one 😉. We loved it ❤️😃
Your really good guy
Thank you so much!!! I have been trying to find a good how-to on spinning FOREVER!!!
Instructions unclear...head stuck in spokes
microbuilder 😂
Lol
Fuck you
instructions very clear... penis stuck in sproket.
@@bermchasin yikey yikes
Yo that final line was sick. rock on my friend.

same bro
Jack Parker My tip is go fast so you can "air".Turn your head so you can see your landing. thats how i air without casing, maybe i am just bad at explaining it because its simple for me because i already ride for a while.
Jack Parker I was in the same boat 3 months ago all I do is pedal to the metal then in air put my back tire down more then my front
Jack Parker when your front tyre lifts over the cope push you front end down and kind of tuck your knees.
Basically you'll know if you're going to case before you even case. When you learn how to spot a case before it happens, basically you want to lean your butt as far over the back tire as possible and push down on the bars into the ramp as hard as possible. Sounds really counter productive, but if you try to fight it you're going to be sent over the bars. Lean back, push down, keep the bike straight.
The instructions were ridiculously unclear. I turned into a fidget spinner.
Lmao
Can you do a vid with nose manuals I either flip over or just can't hold them super long
I love the how to videos. It helps me explain how to do stuff to my niece and nephew
This will help me dial my 540 flat. Thanks the great gods of bmx who are among us.
how to 540 flat:
step 1. bunnyhop.
step 2. turn into a tornado
step 3. land and ride away
This works. I first found a bank, would 180 and come back down. Then I learned disasters, just go a bit faster and spin later. Your back tire will land on the fly out then hop back in. Go even faster spin later and get them fakies dialed and you can 180 out of banks. Now for flat ground.
Great vid. I sick at spinning for some reason. Been working on them for about a month and I have a long way to go
I remember using the cheap ramps from Walmart and using those to learn lol we thought grass was our foam pit
And those fucking rims are sick as fuck bud.
9:03 was sick
SPENCER how to video on turndowns/inverts? Plsss
why no 180 bar out Spencer?
i wish the launch pad was still the same as it used to be, looks like such a fun prefab park
YESSS SPENCER! I needed this badly lol thank you bro
Can you do a video for 360 to 720 please cause I wanna learn to do 450's and 540 and stuff between 360 and 720
Allyn Strong just keep your head turned and pencil out a little bit
I can't pencil out even if I try my hardest I can't for some reason
You're probably taking off too 'low'.. For 540's and even 720's for the matter you wonna take off right at the very top of the ramp (Coping) which is probably something you aren't doing with a 360 as most people don't as it isn't necessary.
Thanks man! I think I will try tucking into the handlebars more when I spin and take your advice on using a Target when trying them 3's !! Thanks yo!
Классный урок! Учу 360 на плоскаче уже 2года. Все еще докручиваю на заднем колесе.
I saw a lot of how to videos but this helped me the most subscribe to him he is awesome
can you ride jay's "street wheels" for a video?
Tip: if you spin to the left naturally, look over your shoulder to the left. This works as well for switch if you look in that direction that you spin. This is how I learned 360's.
I love your vids man
When I try 3s I always land about 270 and i have a freecoaster and I can't 3 pivot atm but I'll try some now and I cant get my head round 360 I only get 3/4 the way round 🙃
I had a buddy that road free coaster, he said to 360 tire tap you have to spin hard and not use any pedal pressure. Like doing it without a chain pretty much.
I learned 180s in a quarter first a few months ago and I'm just now getting them flat ground

I don't know why that first clip looked so cool.
“Or this ledge joe didn’t bar out on.”
Any time I try any type of spin, especially nose-pivot spins, I feel like I'm landing with a lot of sideways force on my back wheel. Any advice on landing properly to avoid that?
You're under or over rotating if you land full 180 or full 360 it will feell natural
Also turn the bars in the opposite diraction that you're spinning to land fakies easier
Any advice for goofy footed riders doing hop 3's? i can 540 on a flyout but still struggle getting the back end up enough for a hop 3...
Spencer how do I get more rotation, I can 180 and 360 but I'm trying to learn 540's I do my 3's flat as well as 180's but I also do them outta a tub with cooping. But I just can't seem to get any more rotation. How can I add more rotation to my spin?
I have trouble with vert ramps and 360s this video had some good tips I wanna try maybe ill get it maybe Ill get fucked up who knows such is the sport
So the pivot point is back toward the back while lifting front up ? Man i can do a 110 everytime lol
"Prooo. Like a niceeee."
i can only 270 as of now sadly but i think that’s good progression considering i’ve only been riding a little under three months
update: getting more consistent with 360’s now
good lesson👍🏼
Yesss i need this right now
I can already 360 tap up a bank, but I have some trouble doing them out of a flyout. My backwheel always gets stuck at the coping. What can I do?
Dude sick ass triple 30 at 2:20.
See I would do tricks and stuff but I don't have a lot of tread on my tires and don't have replacements.
TheGamer Eaight Oh One EXUSES
I’m having mental block w keeping my head turned doing 360s
How to apply brakes? ?

Does it bend your wheel?
weiss_henry only with mafia
Random what do you mean?
Random why what's wrong with mafia
nothing he just hates mafia, if you have a double walled rim you shouldn't have to worry, if you have single walled and weight a lot than it could
Henry Spotting yes it could if you dont really land it properly the rim will indeed then bend
Why is there no "BMX: How to Cash Roll tailwip to barspin"?
don't you mean 90 degrees to 360 degrees? in the thumbnail?
