i'd absolutely love to see some trial riders trying out bmx and see what they can come up with. street trial is similar to freestyle/street bmx in a way and there's a lot of common inspirations going on in those disciplines im very curious what an experienced trials rider can do on a (brakeless) bmx, open up "our" eyes to "their" perspective. bmx riders are very well aware what we do out on the streets, but usually the lack of brakes heavily limits what can be done when it comes to trials and the lack of experience and general trials creativity definitely doesn't help with discovering new stuff or practicing for some difficult moves like brakeless g-turns i think it would make for a great video, so please consider this idea, be it with rear brake, both or no brakes at all, even seeing a different geometry in use with 2 brakes would be interesting
Hah, yeah. This one could have been bad because I was talking and not paying full attention. Lucky I'm comfortable with looping out because I've done it thousands of times at this point.
Ic kinda weard tu see some one else wheeli whit out brakes ive bin wheeling my hole life whit out brakes whell there and here ive fell at hiegh speeds but ic realy easy tu wheeli whit no brakes
Wheelien without rear brake can be way easier just by putting your seat higher, as high as it can go with your feet touching the Pedals and its less difficult on a small incline or in a grassfield if you want an actual extra challenge try to wheelie a long distance with 1 hand holding the bikeframe and the other one not touching anything, looks way cooler and is very scary at the start still a very good video, well done!
Easy isn't the goal. If you're gonna train your body to have muscle memory for a certain technique like a wheelie, do it in a way that will be helpful on trails. A really high seat puts your weight too far back once you get the front wheel up. Some people on some bikes have alot of trouble sliding off the seat when they loop out, so it's not necessarily easier for everyone.
My weakness is the overuse of my rear brake as a cancel device and I have a hard time with modulating. In general most of my wheelies are without my rear brake and just balance point focused. Tire pressure and even the tires themselves (rounded vs. more square profile) can make a big difference. For some reason lower pressure with cushcore xc makes wheelies the easiest for me. I think that is because the lower pressure squares the profile and the cushcore adds more relative stability at the lower pressure. I'm not trying to advertise for cushcore it is just what I've noticed. Thanks for the in-depth focus on the learning and adapting process. It is why I like your videos so much...the journey of getting from A to Z is important. I think you have the best and most practical videos out there.
to think that i was surprised for a second why did you decide to deflate just the rear tyre and not both of them😅 anyway great video, i love seeing trial riders doing simple things like wheelies or manuals, because of their superior balance and bike control. i was also thinking that since brakeless manuals are a thing you shouldn't struggle much with brakeless wheelies, but as you mentioned in another reply, sitting down makes it a lot different and doesn't really allow you to balance with your body as freely, so i came up with idea of standing up in a wheelie. i know some people who do them that way, so i know it's doable, just not sure how sustainable they actually are, especially without brakes.
I think standing up and sitting down to shift your weight forwards and backwards could help when you start to go faster. I never learned to wheelie using brakes, and have always naturally wanted to stand up once I got going fast. Usually, I can use this to crank a few more feet out of power wheelies, but a more controlled effort could probably be used to keep the front wheel down while coasting to a slower speed.
Yeah, not staying seated would allow you to balance it like a manual, but this was about making myself use other skills to keep it controlled and don't accelerate too much. 🤟🏼
@@TheUselessTrials ok that's cool. How intense and how long did you practiced for that results. I practiced manuals (and wheelies) for maybe two years now and it is quite difficult for me to reach longer distances.
It took me a couple of months to figure them out and after roughly a year I could do pretty long ones. I still had the occasional phase of my manuals going worse within the first 2 or 3 years. Now I've been doing them for almost 10 years, though. Have you tried the tips in my manual tutorial? A lot of progress comes from not using the brake for balancing.
@@TheUselessTrials Yes I already tried the tips but I use my brake quite often during manuals and wheelies like you during wheelies in the beginning of the video I already fall several times on my back on concrete, so I guess that's one reason. In the future I want to try it thanks for the tips.
Another amazing video, With the usual high quality, Love how you keep pushing the limits in each of you're videos
Great video! you should try trials with a bmx to compare it to a 20 inch trials bike, would tilting the bmx bars forward give similar geometry....

Great video as usual. You're extremely talented. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us👌🏽 much love from 🇺🇸
he don’t needs the back break.
the back break needs him.
my back brake doesnt work at all so im learning to wheelie like this xd
Same xD
same hahah
Very impressive! Looping out is the worst haha. I'll have to give this a go to reduce my necessity of using the rear brake.
Hah, yeah. This one could have been bad because I was talking and not paying full attention. Lucky I'm comfortable with looping out because I've done it thousands of times at this point.
I do this all the time it is easy
always happy to watch all of your video 👍👍🔥
Your very good at manuals so I'm surprised your finding it hard
I'm sat down the whole time, so manuals don't help ^^
Great video! This is what I do on my normal daily bike, since my brakes arent good at all (only usefull for stopping). Instead I just stop pedalling.
Ic kinda weard tu see some one else wheeli whit out brakes ive bin wheeling my hole life whit out brakes whell there and here ive fell at hiegh speeds but ic realy easy tu wheeli whit no brakes
Next challenge, no hands on the bars while doing a wheelie :-)
I do this everyday of my life can’t be that hard 😂😂 and still manage to keep balance
brakeless bmxers must find this very funny
Why would they? Most of them don't wheelie at all and just do manuals. :P
@@TheUselessTrials very true did not think of that
@@TheUselessTrials but as long as you keep peddling then just considered a wheelie. You don't really need to use the brake
Can you sell me your trials bike.♥️
Wheelien without rear brake can be way easier just by putting your seat higher, as high as it can go with your feet touching the Pedals and its less difficult on a small incline or in a grassfield
if you want an actual extra challenge try to wheelie a long distance with 1 hand holding the bikeframe and the other one not touching anything, looks way cooler and is very scary at the start

9:34 uphill?
sehr geiles video!🔥🔥 man könnte das gleiche mit Fake-nose-manuals oder G-turns probieren👀🙌

Sehr schöne Challenge. Gerne mehr davon!!
Wheelie!!!
Impressive bike controll, could you do the same with manuals to compare it. I guess it would be easier for you but I don't know.
I think every single long manual you can see on my channel was done completely brakeless! Thanks for the suggestion, though!

Uphill might be easier 🤔
It was, but the first part was about doing it on flat ground, because that's actually challenging ;)
Uphill is about as difficult as a power wheelie.
Easy isn't the goal when trying to train a muscle memory into your brain.
Just sayin
