I’ve recently just started riding bmx and have just learnt bar spins , full props to u guys who shred on bmx as u make it look easy but is quite challenging but it’s such a good feeling when u land a new trick
This is so awesome, especially for just starting out like us. It is such a relief to find a bmx channel clean enough to watch with my 9yr old. Well done, we'll be back for more!
Really wish someone from RUclips (you, spencer, Scotty... someone) would find a complete rookie/novice and show them how to perform the basics. ( bunny hop, fakie, 180, bar spins, manuel etc) That way we can literally see the evolution of someone that has not clue learn. It’s great to watch Matt or someone do it ..... but if we literally saw a ground up how to I think it would help...... and really anhialate the views from everyone not just normal followers such as myself
You are correct but if it is not on the video then it doesn’t help anyone except for big boy LOL. That’s why I like Mike F. he always seems to listen to peoples comments and truly wants to help
Thanks for the input. I’ll see what I can do. Finding a random person to learn is hard but I’ll see what other stuff I can do. Thanks for the support man!!
As a beginner I found this video to be pretty informative. It's a good starting point in learning how to do tricks. Like how he laid the tricks out in a way that's easy to understand, and that he advocates that everyone be safe. It's easy to get into the mindset of just wanting to attempt to go big which, as a beginner, I feel like would only end in a bad way.
This was a good video. As someone who has not ridden in 18 years, I am looking forward to trying bmx again. At the age of 30, it is like I am starting the basics all over. Just watching as many how to videos as I can, but this one was really simple and broken down well. I have been riding around my house because I don’t want to look foolish at a skatepark until I have some basics down though.
Mike Fede. You're my hero. I have watched you on tons of Scotty Cranmer videos. I am 38 years old and going to try to get back in to BMX so its awesome to see videos like this.
I'm almost 50 and got my first BMX bike TONIGHT! In fact, I got 2! Can't wait to get down the skate park and try a few of these 🥳😫 Thanks so much for the video mate 👍
Thanks man! I’m glad to hear you’re getting out there and are excited about it. Before you know it you’ll be shredding and riding every style bike out there. Thanks for the support man, and let me know if you need any tips. 🤘🏾
@@MikeFede I went down the park earlier and while I wasn't exacting shredding, it was thrilling just riding up and down the small ramps! And I can tell I'm gonna feel this tomorrow morning, I'm wrecked! I did try a few of the tricks in this video and the lads down there told me I've almost got the bunny hop down already so that was great. I'm a biker and ride a ZZR1400 but today was far more intimidating! I appreciate you offering tips but I have far too many questions! So I think I'll just keep watching your videos and keep practising. Thanks so much for the reply, all the best from 🇬🇧 🏴
Thanks for this video! I’m getting back into bmx after 10 or so years and want to refresh my brain, last time I rode a bike was a couple years ago so I’m hoping muscle memory will help lol
Oh shitttt I LIKE Matt's frame!! It's MOS DEF a hott look!! I ride a full FIT setup, I LOVE fits, have been riding Fit for years, buttttt I'm NOT sponsored by them or anything, so it's not like I'm stuck strictly to one brand/style!
@@MikeFede yessir!!! I just LOVE the sport. Hell, I'm in my 30s and been riding since I was a child!!! Buttttt my absolute FAVORITE rider right now is that boy CAIDEN!! That 9-ish yr old kid from Portland, OR that is a pro rider. The damn kid is 41 inches tall but goes sooooo super huge on everything!!! If you aren't familiar with him, you HAVE to look him up!!! @caidenBmx or something like that. I LOVE THAT KID!!! Plus he has the coolest parents on the planet!!!
@@MikeFede I kinda assume he would be a pro lmao I'm planning to launch my own bmx riding series soon so people can watch me recover from my brain injury to ride again.
@@adamgrgrg2950 I had a head injury was hit by a car riding my bike across the road from the skatepark to get a drink Wasn't wearing a helmet and my head hit the windscreen of the cat
I have been riding BMX for quite a while and I could do 360, tire grab, grind up-and-down ledges in the rails, and could hop on tables... But it took me 3 YEARS before I could get/understand fakies but after I learned it has completely changed my lvl of riding so I %100 am glad I didn't give up on them. Learn them as soon as you can it will make everything easier trust me it hard to learn 360s before 180s
I think the last time I checked my bike was when I put it together a year ago. Other than spokes. Spokes actually do need to be checked unless you like replacing them
Your an awsome rider. I wish I could be as good as you. You should do another how to with intermediate tricks like hop 180, air a quarter, manual, whiplash, footjam
A tune up video would be so appreciated dude. I feel like when i go ti a shop and ask about it, they give me looks like im an idiot hahah. Just maybe a quick vid making sure your bike is all ready to go. I ordered mine online and built it myself so itd be nice to know i did everything right haha
a bit of advice for the firecracker, i would reccomend you try to keep your contacts to the bike tight, as you said, but arms and legs loose, letting the bike move around a little to help absorb that shock.
good vid buddy only thing i would add is with the firecracker the faster you go the smoother the ride is as you only touch the tips of the stairs lol firecrackers are still one of my fav tricks to do. i done a vid not long ago a bmx with suspension and its one of my most popular vids. and fun to ride im keeping it setup for more stuff lol. you should try it
@@1fiddysquiddy386 I have pegs now. My first try at a double peg grind became a successful feeble stall instead, because I really meant to do that. Next day there was snow
@@MikeFede Yea, I'm trying to learn barspins and struggling with gripping with my feet and legs, maybe trying bunny hops using the technique will help out. Thanks for another useful and informative video, guessing Matt was glad not to have to wear a dress for this one!
Yo fede a good trick for helping kids learn the scooping the back end of the bike up is basket ball. Toes down heels up. Second good trick is from running. There's an exercise where you run while heel kicking your butt slightly. Pull up, toes down, jump and then kick yourself in the butt. Push it all forwards. Taught kids how to hop pretty high really fast going this route.
For people who are brand new to BMX (like me), fakies are easier if you have a free coaster real wheel because you don't have to back pedal. With a standard cassette you have to back pedal. For me, back pedaling is the tricky part. I'm trying not to chainsaw the thing cause' that makes me lose control, but its pretty tricky matching the cassette speed without putting on too much pressure and stopping the fakie. I need tips Sensei Fede.
Cool video! Simple tricks is all u need to have fun! I'm not going to kill myself jumping off of stairs and doing backflips and jumping off of roofs! No wonder these youngsters get hurt alot!
I’m a girl and when I was younger they told me I couldn’t do bmx. I never gave up though, and now I’m 17 and I still love it. Don’t listen to the ones who tell you to quit, because I didn’t and I now sell bmxs and ride multiple times a week
Hey man, I’m looking to get into bmx and I’m wondering what size bike I should get. I’m 5,5 1/2 about 145lbs. I appreciate all of the help. I’m hoping to order a bike soon.
the two kinds of bunny hops referenced are also known as the english bunnyhop, where both wheels come up at the same time, and the american bunnyhop where its more of a one - two
I used to ride as a kid... Every where.. me and friends... Riding wheelies ramping anything we could find kicking our back tires around just randomly... Now that I'm grown... I can't even pop a decent wheelie
Thanx I’ve learned the bunny hop quick now I been jumping over random shit on the side walk, this the only trick I know bunny hop I been trying the wheelie tho💯🤣
Great content, Mike! Wondering if I'd be able to repost some of your videos on Instagram and mention you in the credits! This stuff is GREAT but not something I could do myself! Let me know!! Thanks

Ionic sorry but that’s not true for most people as for the backwards pedal motion helps you keep balance while in a fakie on the bike.
Your videos always make me want to go ride..hard when there aren't many people who want to ride or schedules match up ..adulting sucks
So i know how to do some tricks.
Now just buy bmx.
Cool video! Simple tricks is all u need to have fun! I'm not going to kill myself jumping off of stairs and doing backflips and jumping off of roofs! No wonder these youngsters get hurt alot!
Its great the wheel still turns when not pedaling
Nice tutorial btw In the 2 Wheel Bunny Hop he kinda did the same thing like the proper bunny hop

Thx bro
In Ireland we call the second bunny hop you guys were doing a j hop
Just got a bike for Christmas and I alr knew how to bunny hop bc I used to have one then got a mountain and know I'm back Into bmx
I can’t do them on a bmx but I mean I’m pretty good on my big wheel
I think it takes a lot of practice if you were to constantly keep practicing in bmx
I have a heavy bmx 13kg bike, does that make any difference to perform a bunny hop?
