As a old school bmx'er I couldn't agree more about using flat pedals.
You can see how well dude takes care of his body, and how powerful he is on his bike. All you youngsters soak this up!💪
My little guy just had his first race at Cobb County BMX. I’ll be sure and show him this video.
Thanks for the content and instruction.
Did your little guy win?
Great tips and I plan to utilize them. I’m 47, so I can relate to aches and pains....
If you don't start weight training when you turn one, your already behind
#straightfacts 💪😉
Last time I raced BMX was 1984. I've stayed with cycling off and on since racing mountain bikes and doing long distance road riding. I am very interested in getting back into BMX racing and these videos are definitely going to help. I have already been doing some sprints but have been picking up some great tips from your videos. Thanks.
Love it! Can’t wait for experienced training
Thanks for taking the time to do these videos for us Barry. Myself and my little guy love them, theyre really helpful
I just started back up racing and these vids have been super helpful. Thanks for putting out these free training vids
“WHAT in the world are these, I’m just jumping in the air” my kids EXACT words 😂
Thanks for the help. I’m hopefully gonna start racing soon so this really helps.
This help out a lot thx man keep up the hard work
Loving the Mom tattoo! The only tattoo I approve of when my son gets that age 😂. Thanks for the video - so great!
I like that new year resolution 😉 So stoked to see you back Barry!
Thanks for the tips this will improve my riding! Especially as a young one
hay barry love the Chanel i will be using this program to get my self ready for 2021 bmx my first season in 5 years and I am am 36 looking forward to next week
Kids and even older riders pay attention to this guy. Im 50 years old and been riding for many years, mtb, motocross and i have had some good stacks and broken bones, im not the best rider but i love everything about bmx racing, the one thing that has kept me riding is training, strength training, cardio eg.. Basically what he is demonstrating, and i love to deadlift and squat, its one thing i have never stopped, my technic riding bmx is still got a while to go but the fun part is learning. So you just have to look at this dude and he is built like a beast and explosive! From Australia mate thanks heaps for sharing your experience with us, its alot of help and much appreciated. 🙋🏻♂️
You still riding?
Such good advice Barry! More emphasis needs to be put on time in the saddle, you can workout all you want but, riding and being on your bike is just as important if not more!
I enjoy watching your videos for my 12 year old son. Thank you very much.
awesome video!! thank you!
Love this thank you so much 💪💪👊
Yesssss.thank you Barry...you da man!!!!!!
Wow that's awesome
Thanks so much Barry I started BMX 2 months ago I love it and want to dedicate to the sport
I race at MAG Ridge BMX in Mississippi
nice tips dude, this is one of the best tips on developing our core to have a stable and fit body on biking. godbless you dude.
Thanks. Plyometric jumps so important. Good to remember
Just getting back into racing after 10 years and this was very beneficial thank you for your time
You still into racing?
Excellent video! Great information and a very clear, concise presentation. I'm coming up on 49 and trying to get back into racing (assuming our tracks open this year) after a 35-ish year hiatus, and really appreciate the content and advice.
Did you get back into racing?
Been digging your videos I seen you race a couple years ago in Springdale , Ark at the Red Bull pump track world Champs and the grand opening of the pump track
I’m 36 and I still use flat pedals for everything lol..... chicks dig flat pedals btw 😎
I own clips but never use them. I like the idea of them but they look so freakin dorky.
Turns out, alot of my fitness activities are dead on point for BMX. Basketball, Kick Boxing bag, Scooting. Thxs. Buying a BMX bike next week, wish me luck.
Man, I've caught up on just about all your videos. I'm making a come back to racing after a 10yr break at 38. Everything you put out is motivating and has concreted my decision to come back. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge, keep the videos rolling! Thanks man!
I really appreciate that feedback. Stoked to hear it did the job I wanted it to👊🏼👊🏼
How did you do at your comeback races at 38?
You still motivated?
@bunnyman6321 I've raced a few times this year. Still motivated and still fitting it into work/family life. I've done alot of enduro/downhill mtb races as well. My kids are coming into it this coming year. I will have the whole family involved.
@specmodified Interesting!
You thought about getting your family into motocross dirt bike?
@bunnyman6321 We have quads but only ride on the property. I never got into dirt bikes, only watch when they come to town.
Legit... thank you Sir!
OK Barry, I'm 45 and starting BMX next spring for the first time so your my guy. I'm gonna spend the winter trying to shed some lbs. I'll be watching your videos religiously for the next several months. #letsdothis
How did it go? Did you end up starting to race?
Did you start bmx?
Great video! I'd love to see on pumping video some guys just seem to fly way faster through the rhythm section
At a local race this weekend there was a set of parents complaining heavily about the new 11 and under rule, saying their kids had to learn to ride all over again with Flats.....I immediately thought of this video when I heard that. Barry always looking out
hay man i got your email in mine when i checked it this morning. things are great with me im still doing bunny hops on my bike and still having fun
My son is 11 and we're trying to figure out gearing. Maybe a video topic? Love your stuff. Thanks
The helmet ❤. I wake up sometimes confused… I’ve probably needed one a few times . Now I don’t ride without one. Super important an I push the issue with the young folks . ❤
That was probably the best vid to help me with bmx racing I’ve ever seen!!! Thx for the help!! New sub!!!
Hi Barry happy new year first you have a couple of beautiful ladies there. I just wanted to mention all of these training tips also apply to older riders and even parents just getting into riding with the kids it’s a great way to stay in shape at any age.And it gets those parents out on the track so they really understand what they’re asking of their kids. Thank you so much for your time.
My core is full of hops and barley haha. You young guns start looking after your body now, wish I had
My Dad has a saying, "If I knew I was gonna live this long I would've taken better care of myself." I try to live my life by those words. I'm 41 and try staying active and take care of myself...but life happens. Definitely realizing injuries don't heal as quick as they used to.
Almost 10k subs les go 🤙
We trying! Next goal is 100!
I actually like that setup with that tall seat post. Curious on where to find something like that.
What is that seat post dam long love it
I grew up riding Odyssey Sharkbites which took a number on my shins lol.
My kid just wants new wheels… j/k. Great stuff
Hopefully you'll come to midwest nationals in Rockford il....
Rad story. In 2004 if my memory serves me right of the year. We were at the Virginia national. Two racing buddies and I were walking through the pits and there was this kid with a wild blonde streak pin wheel hair doo. It was Barry. Working on his bike. We stopped and chatted a minute then watched Barry crush everyone in 14x class.
Does doing so well at the grands make u wanna put in a good year of racing and try for vet pro #1
I got flat petals because of this vid they are insane also I go to oak mountain all the time and I never see Barry I hope I could meet him soon
I’ll be back to my Tuesday routines at oak soon!
That's all I do is sprints on flats when I do sprints by myself. Only time I do sprints with clips are when I'm doing them with someone. I try to do everything with flats when training at home but when at the track I run clips.
Question from a newb, kind of. Getting back into racing at 48, and raced as a kid. Been mountain biking since, but am curious….do I keep my finger on the brake throughout the race, like when riding MTB, or just hold the grip and move the finger to the brake as needed? Weird and dumb question, I know.
bike check your bmx race i like
I'm a older trained fighter that has found a new passion in mountain biking, dirt jumping and BMX. I'm looking to race for my first time when the season finally starts. Besides gym training and now sprints, what are some of the drills I should be working on to better prepare myself for racing? Thanks for making cool content.
You still riding?
Which timing system are you using?
I was a the state finals and just turned intermediate so I was still in flat pedals and got 4th place in the pack every one had clips and I didn’t I would definitely recommend flats
Oh and I got state 2 that year
What kind of seat is that ?
Can you do gate tips
Check my channel. There’s 2 how to gate videos.
I'm 13 trying to get in to this sport
The seat post is like 2ft long,funny
@7:34 I hear ya Barry on these types of work outs but when you say 'everyone wants to turn expert as fast as they can' I feel like this is a common issue in BMX. I used to race for several years 9-12X but back in the early 90's. The advice I give, other that these types of workouts is, during your time as a Novice and Inter rider is the time you really need to focus on bike skills and training. Don't spend your way to expert, meaning don't buy all the new carbon parts or the Ti spoke nipples... Because when you get to Expert, after having the fastest bike at your home track, you'll notice at big races that kids have the same tricked out bikes and now the playing field is even and the only thing that separates you is bike skill and training. I've seen it time and time again when these kids get to Expert they leave the sport cuz the parents 'bought' the kids Expert class. Buying stuff is great for the manufactures but not the sport.
hey berry i am first it state race in my age
chain fell off during training and mt feet flew off. i ended up sliding over a table top on my knees. 3 weeks heal time
Question, I’m looking for something to get exercise with. Not in a competitive racing. I see these race BMX bikes as a great tool to take riding around my neighborhood and exercising. Is that accurate? Or my better off with something else? I do have cruiser bikes and I do have other BMX bikes but I’m looking for something that if I put a lot of energy into it I can go fast and become one with the bike. Is this a good application or not? The race BMX?
Man if youre wanting something to just cruise the street but can go to the track I’d say cruiser for sure
Like a race cruiser to be specific
@@barrynobles95 ok , thank you!
@@barrynobles95 like an XXL CRUISER FRAME?
Now that’s hard to say since I don’t know much more about you.
what is the best race bike?
Haro for sure
I miss the old bear claw pedals. Lol
One time to the shin was all it takes, lol.
I’m 13, do you think I should use weights, like what do you think I can do at my age, how hard should I push myself?
You have given me the best information about bmx, thank you!
Should I do long distance sprints, like five miles?
Flat pedals in 1987, flat pedals in 2022 for me.
You should reach out to other youtube channels to do calibrate with to grow your channel faster
Besides technique best advice I can give don't just go to easy races you know your going to do well at...so you think your fast go find where the fastest people in the World are and start riding with them if you want to get fast!!!! Lol eventually you will be rite with them...
👍👍👍👏👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Under 12 or novice requires flat pedals per USABMX
I think I’m gonna buy a dirt jumper, what should I do, I have 1000 dollars.
Well dirt can be more fun but bmx has a steeper progression but you get a ton of control out of it. Also bmx's are almost indestructable, you can get used bikes for like 700 and be high end.
Remember kids have fun
Next up
Jump squats
Seriously Kids!
Listening to the Slamma will help you drop da hammer!
I was 8 years old and riding on the bmx track after hrs with only a half helmet like youre using. Cased a triple and got launched over the bars into the dirt face first, knocked the 2 top front teeth clean out and really bad gravel rash all over my face. Do NOT recommend half helmets
I just snapped my chain it sucked
Great tips, but FYI the thumbnail is for pro tips, not beginner training.
Top 5 pro tips. Tips from a pro
Ahhhh, my bad. Great tips regardless, thank you!
WAISTED (10:15)
Yy
ohh my lord that kid who peddled his bike so hard that he ended up doing something i haven't seen on a flat before he was putting on his perks into strength and none in ima call it keeping the bike on somewhat of the same plane you are trying to move forward in (OORr) your gonna have a bad time lol
in 2004 i got into expert in age 10 i think but i was racing for about one year and was racing for a team reno photo's 3rd in grands and i would always in the middle of a race my feet would slip into my shin witch would almost stop anygood win for that day but when i went to clipon's i skidded on my back after landing on my back wheel and i was out for at least 2 or maybe 3 weeks
@8:20 Barry no one races with clips, I think they may even be illegal in ABA races. Clip-less and flats are what everyone races on. Yeah I know what you're talking about but if you're making a video for beginners about good habits then call equipment by its actual name. Clip pedals have a cage around your foot, metal or plastic/fabric. Clips were here before clip-less pedals and thats why clip-less pedals aren't called 'clips'.
Every kid in the sport of bmx knows what the term “clips” are referring too. Someone new that may have no idea will also have no idea what “clip-less” is. No one calls them “clip-less” anymore.
It's funny, you say son's been riding for 10months & thinks he knows everything about the sport.
It's the reverse over here! My son's been racing for about 4 months, and HE THINKS he knows everything! Lol
Planks and v up things are terrible for your lower back
Really?
@@bunnyman6321 yes. Plank’s are ok but not for extended periods of time
@@ShittyCut Interesting
Im from philippines. And 😔 ever since this pandemic came. I really want a bike . But i dont have money to buy ah bike till now. All i can do is to watch videos of mtb,rb,bmx in youtube or fb. And save pics of bmx and roadbike.
I wish i hope someone rich people hear me. And i hope someone give me a bmx? Or roadbike? Or money to buy a bike... God knows i really want one 😔😇😔
#onlinecharityplease
Could you progress this more in a video please? Like I'm not a beginner but I'm not a pro please💯
