I turn 57 on the 17th, I'm heading back to the skatepark and doing airs now because of this video.😊 To me the easiest tip to get started doing airs is to do a bunny hop when I am on the ramp.😎
No kidding?! Dude! Heck YES. You rule! Can’t wait to hear how it goes amigo.
Happy early birthday BTW. ⚡️🖤
That's what I always say every time I watch a how-to. It's just not that easy once you're there lol. How did it go for you?
Yoooo I just turned 44 and love this shit.hahaha.
good on you bro,bmx rules
One of the most complete tutorials I've seen on this subject.
I'm at the stage where it seems like I've done all the steps you mentioned, now I just need the courage to go beyond the cooping.
@@EdyStauch wow, what a compliment! Thank you!!
That can be the trickiest part my friend, this is where repetition/practice becomes your friend. Play around with approach angles & speed, before you know it you’ll be blasting. ⚡️🖤

You guys make BMX biking look so fun! I'm just a beginner mountain biker, so I start trying both!
@@kadenjarrett9142 it’s honestly such a blast & helps tremendously with MTB skills too!! Do you have a BMX bike?
YES!! I've been waiting for this. Thank you. And with Matt too! goddam. yes. thank you
@@orangeblue3531 right on!! Thx for the love, yo. ⚡️🖤
FFS lads! I just spat tea over my laptop screen when it cut to Matt lying on that ramp at 1.02. Just slayed me! :D
hahaha like he said, to get comfortable on the quarter pipe ;)
I can't wait! Your technique is so much simpler and more helpful than pretty much everything I've ever watched on the topics. The Loam Ranger is the only one I can think of that has had a few videos that are also so simple and effective like yours.
Wow, what a killer compliment! Thank you so much for the love, so dang stoked you're digging the information - we've had a blast putting our heads together trying to simplify skills for all!!

Got into BMX last year at 30, and bowls/transition has become my bread and butter. Definitely took a lot from this video as someone that hasn't made it over coping yet.
Right on dude!! Love to hear it; where's your local park?!
@@JoyOfBike my local is Linear Skatepark in Powder Springs, GA, but there’s a lot of good ones further away worth the drive.
Y'all are a breath of fresh air! I've raced downhill bikes for so long, and am just getting into more park riding with my dirt jumper! Here's to many crashes as i learn!
Right on man!! Get some amigo ⚡️🖤
can't wait to go practice this - thanks to this detailed video!
@@ej1_drew let us know how it goes amigo!! Thx for the love.
This was helpful. Thank you. I have been riding BMX for a long time, but quarter pipes have just never been my jam. I crashed when I was 17 and broke my nose trying to do a drop in. I am 57 now and the last couple of years I have really been trying to air above coping. For me, I know a lot of what to do, but my fear gets the better of me. I can now do a couple of inches above coping and earlier today I was focusing on hitting both my front and rear tire on the coping. What I was doing was as soon as my front tire hit the coping I would start my pop so the rear wheel was always leaving too soon. So today I actually felt my rear tire hit a couple of times. I feel like a stepper transition has always made it easier. I used to do airs on an 8 foot that went right to vert. I could only ever get about a foot or two out, but I was always scared and thus too stiff.
I liked a few of the pointers here and I think as my front wheel comes off the coping I need to pull my bars back towards me to get the pop and keep the rear tire on the transition, not much different that when jumping.
Everyone who can air really well tell me it's easier to air on big steeper 7-8ft quarters because you don't need to worry about pulling out or casing. They said to just ride into it with confidence and speed while imagining you're doing a big invisible wallride rather than airing. I find that too scary and intimidating to do especially if you have mortgage payments to deal with and a job to get to on Monday. Smaller and more shallow quarters, while less intimidating, require more accuracy and timing. With these, you have to actively keep the bike in the quarter otherwise you'll just fly out onto the deck or case it. The variables that affect this are the steepness of the ramp, your speed, how hard(high) you bunnyhop and the timing of your pop when the back tire bumps the coping. It's way too much to think about. I find the best way is to ride with people that can do it, watch tons of videos in slow motion. Also film yourself, and evaluate your own airs. You can also download an app called Coaches' Eye or Kinovea to compare your attempts with a "proper air" done by a pro. Then try to match the timing and the motions. Geeky but it works.
@@orangeblue3531 The thing with bigger ramps is you have more transition so of you fall you slide down the transition. Smaller ramps,.if you fall you have a much higher risk of falling right to flat.
@@orangeblue3531 taller quarters certainly help - but you’re not wrong, they’re WAY more intimidating! Although the more mellow ramps can be harder to learn on, if it works for you; that’s the best way to learn! Filming yourself is the WAY!!! Thanks for suggesting that, I still do it myself quite a bit when I’m riding & I often realize what I’m trying to do doesn’t look at all how I feels haha. Keep shredding amigo!
@@ShadLife lifelong BMXer! Love it.
Taller & steeper can definitely help, I truly think 6’ quarter is the perfect spot to learn although they can initially be intimidating.
Especially on more mellow ramps, keep your bars pulled to your lap as long as possible to get UP! stoked to hear how the progression of your airing goes. All love!
@@JoyOfBike I will try that. I will be keeping updates on my channel and will certainly mention this video over there because it's really well done!
This video has inspired to give airs another shot. Thanks!
@@mewnova1144 love to hear that!! You got this amigo ⚡️🖤
Thanks for this! Awesome to have Cordova as a teacher. Love for all the Fast -n- Loose guys, they absolutely roast transition! I just turned 47 and have been working at airing for a couple years now, but just can't seem to progress to bonking the rear tire off the coping. I feel I'm always pushing out more than up and the few times Ive committed enough to just barely bonk coping with my back tire I case back in. Pulling the bars towards my waist and keeping my torso perpendicular are tips I havent caught before so now I'm anxious to get to the park and work on adjusting and progressing. Thanks brothers!
cool thanks guys! I've been stuck trying to get the rear wheel to stay on the ramp to the coping. Will revisit the ramp and apply your suggestions!
Try and go at a little more of an angle with more pump, you’ve got this!! Let us know how it goes after some practice ⚡️
I think I will never do that, but I liked to watch it. That manual at 9:51 👏👏👏.
@@rogeriocosta1035 thanks for tuning in man!! Appreciate you 🫶🏻
I have been so excited for this one. I cannot wait to give these tips a try this week! Thank you for the video!
@@XxFarrinxXv2 can’t wait to hear how it goes dawg!! Thank YOU for the love. ⚡️🖤
Ive aired once on an 7ish ft quarter after deciding to just hit. Havent aired since been off the bike for a while getting back to it just need to commit to tyres both hitting coping not just my front, back to the smaller ones for me cant wait thanks for the video!
You got this amigo!!
My goal height, to the moon. It's never enough. Cordova seems to just float away, so smooth.
@@sapinva I like your style!! Haha.
Yea he’s too dang smooth with it, has been forever!
Great tutorial, airing a quarter is one of the best feeling things u can do on a bike. This video has made me wanna get the 20" back out again been spending too much time on big bikes
It really is!! That weightless feeling at the top of the air is unbeatable.
It’s so hard to choose which bike to ride, when they’re all so fun.
Can’t wait to try this! 👍
Let us know how it goes!!
@@JoyOfBike will do!!
looks so fun! glad to see all 3 of you again. having never ridden a quarter pipe at all, i'm going to start with just carving it the first time i get to one.
to me a quarter pipe looks like a wide jump and i'm not at all used to turning my bike in the air so i want to get really comfortable carving so i can feel confident i won't accidentally jump past the deck! hopefully i can find one that has more space instead of a railing behind it
Much love amigo!!
Yea, that's the best place to start - take it slow! But you'll find the flow QUICKLY I'm sure of it.
It really is just a wide jump, the motion ends up being kinda similar to a hip to be honest! Usually concrete parks have more deck!
This was pretty great. Almost has me thinking I could give it a crack.
Already had a BMX on the wish list, but it just got bumped up a little higher.
@@Pogo69 you got this!!! Shout with any questions.
Honestly the most fun bike to have in the arsenal in my opinion; you can have fun on flat ground, skatepark, or dirt jumps & the skills you learn on the BMX make MTB so much more fun! ⚡️🖤
Those tips are really helpful I definitely try them today
This video really helps a lot, lately I've been learning how to ride bowls and quarter pipes. I'm fine with dropping in, but airing out still makes me nervous so I haven't gone past the coping yet other than the one time I just went for it but got nervous and bailed off the bike at the last minute a couple weeks back.
Stoked to hear it! 🫶🏻
It can definitely be scary, take it slow - you got this!
@@JoyOfBike I definitely want to stick with it, I took a 10 year break from bmx and wanted to get back into it because I missed riding. I never really got to ride quarter pipes and bowls when I was younger so it was mostly just dirt and street, it's always been something I wanted to practice though.
Most in depth tutorial! Thanks so much for this video, definitely helped build my confidence to try and finally learn how to air a quarter!
Hope to see more vids! Dropped a sub 💪
@@ZhenqiTV thank YOU for the stoke, amigo!! Stoked to hear youre gonna get after it yourself, you’ve got this.
Stoked you’re part of the family!!
-Mike
Yes! Thank you!
Stoked you enjoyed amigo!! Thank YOU>
Thank you senpai your wise words will be put to good use tomorrow.
Ahh yea we love to hear it! Keep us updated with your progress. ⚡️🫶🏻
Great job dudes a lot of these points are my thoughts exactly
Thanks, yo!! Stoked you agree & enjoyed. All love!
Awesome video! Thanks a lot for this one, i'm currently trying to air out and having a weird feeling when i pull the bars to my hips because feels like i will "Jump weird", i'm being able to manage cases without fliping over the bars and they are not frequent, but probably because i'm not popping right out of the quarter.
My question would be, i should pop on the top like a bunny hop or just pull the bar to my hips? i know that in mellow quarters you need to give a bit of a hop to not flyout but i get confused by it on ramps that have vertical exits.
The decision to edit the wrong way to do it with the right way following is absolutely awesome (part two).
Of course, thank YOU for being here!
Mellow quarters do require a bit more brute force & pull back as you're doing more work than the ramp, as the ramp gets taller & theres more 'vert' involved, the bike will more naturally follow the radius of the quarter - therefore requiring less pull back unless you're really trying to go UP!
Pulling the bars back into your hips isn't so much of a pull back as it is almost meeting the bike half way when your torso is perpendicular to the ground, if that makes sense. You're really just letting the bars find your hips; simmilar to our bunny hop video.
Cheers!
-Mike
Loving the bmx content lately on this channel. Any tips for getting the back wheel to hit coping when the coping is a larger radius concrete coping rather than the standard metal coping at the park in this video? At my local park the larger quarters have concrete coping that sticks out more than the metal coping. This seems to make it harder to get that back wheel to touch coping since the front wheel bonk is so aggressive it pushes you out a little further into the quarter
Thank you for the feedback dude!! That helps a ton & we are stoked to do some more BMX videos soon.
Pool coping can be much more difficult to navigate, especially depending on how much it sticks out. I’ve found a bit more angle & relaxing at the top when you contact helps a ton!
Thank you guys, for your complete tutorials! Good luck with the channel, wish you 1🍋subscribe asap 🤙🏻
Of course - stoked you’re enjoying! Thank YOU!
All my stats are set on street and airing has always been scary and I never figured it out. There is a perfect quarter at the park and I am going to learn airs before fall
Oh hell yea, you got this!! ⚡️🖤
Catching air is the easy part. Landing on both wheels in the transission is the tricky part.
It can definitely be tricky; I found using the whole ramp really helps aid the bike in doing most of the work for me!
Welcome to Loveland y'all
Such a fun park! I actually grew up in Johnstown & came to Loveland a ton when it was new. Hope to see ya out there some time!
I've got a DJ 26"er - any different tips for a bigger bike?
Rad!! Fundamentally all the same, the big wheels seem to want to exit earlier so really just focus on trying to stay on the quarter as long as possible. 🫶🏻
So....the whole part of bonking BOTH wheels off the coping is what is freaking me out a bit. I have a mini I built that is just under 4' tall, flat to coping height. If I remember right, I think it's a 7-1/2' radius so it's not vert at the top of the transition. Most people tell me you have to "pull out" to avoid casing because it's not steep or vertical. I'm at the point where I bonk the front, but not the rear. I'm thinking of building another quarter a little taller, like 5' or so, so it's a bit steeper and, maybe, with a better run up, I can get the nuts to do it. On the other hand, maybe I should just pad up and do it on what I have. Just hard to session it since it's a half pipe and it's hard to get the speed right coming off the other side into the quarter. Any advice? Does it matter that I'll turn 63 in a few weeks? :D
Nice, that's a great radius for that size of ramp!
The pulling motion is really to help you keep the bike's trajectory in line with the ramps radius, it will also help you not case - paired with a good pump, & LOTS of practice you'll find yourself bumping the coping with both tires. It really helps to film yourself in slow motion so you can see where the back end is coming off & where you're pulling off to adjust accordingly.
A taller ramp, in my experience, is easier to learn this full commiment bit but it isn't impossible on a 4'!
63?! Hell ya!! Love to hear it man - gets me more stoked than I can put into words. You rule!
@@JoyOfBike Thanks, man. I see you replied to someone down below to maybe increase my angle up the transition to help get the feel of the rear hitting the coping. Maybe I'll try that. Thanks again for the response and the videos. I've watched a bunch of 'em.
@@willierides yea play around with more & less angle!! It’s a little different for everyone but once you get the double bump you’ll be able to recreate it with almost any angle.
Thank YOU for the love man, we love being able to share this way!
-Mike
Id be happy with two inches above the coping
@@Dragonfly0987 you got this!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻
Get Tom Dugan on here to teach us how to do big airs.
I have always been afraid to let the back wheel roll off , I just cant understand it the front wheel is easy but the back ughh.
how do you pull up so hard?
It’s all about the pump into the ramp - not so much pulling up. We pull the bars back into our laps, to direct the momentum UP! We have a great example of that in our how to jump video - same thing applies here.
Spot your landing over your shoulder. Look where you want to land and not at the coping.
Lookin’ where ya wanna go is super helpful!
Non sapevo che nitro fosse passato dal rap alla bmx
Hahahaha I had no idea who this was, but I’m stoked to be compared - that dude looks rad 😎
Odd that missed what is apparently the first step: taking off your brakes and binning them.
