I have a bmx since 2014 and now I'm starting to learn how to properly ride it. I'm so excited!!!

[@GentlemanEDC]

36 and picking up BMX. I skateboard back in my younger days and always wanted to. My kids are starting to ride so this gives me an opportunity to mess around.

[@jostafro4967]

I’m doing the same haha

[@GentlemanEDC]

@@jostafro4967 right on! The only setback for me is torn acl/mcl, may limit me on what I’m able to do lol

[@WhosThisPersonNotMe]

I’m 37 and I’m in the same situation as you. Never too old to learn new things

[@dethgripco]

the one thing i regret not doing is learning tricks on a cassette hub. i feel that building a foundation of skills on a cassette is more beneficial that jumping right into freecoaster hubs. fakies are harder on a cassette but it in turn teaches you more bike control and muscle/brain memory.

[@colinlikewhat]

Yea I could agree with that. I didn't start riding a free coaster until a lot later in my riding career.

[@dethgripco]

@@colinlikewhat as luck would have it, i broke my freecoaster's axle a few days after making this comment. now i'm on a cassette.

[@ReVolt_e-Vlogs]

​@@dethgripcoI got a BSD Swerve & at 48, I think I'm too damn old to even want to learn on 1,I hate the slack too on them, & it does make you a better rider for a lot of tricks

@@colinlikewhatthis video was great. Please continue to make more. I know you’re probably busy with Haro right now, but these are wicked helpful to new riders.

[@JonnyTeMoni]

Thanks Colin for the instructional video. I've been in the sport since 2016 on and off and still refining basic bike control... There is a big learning curve to BMX and I am only scratching the surface. 🤘

[@javierortiz82]

Pumping is for some reason one of the hardest things for me, I think I'm getting the hang of it slowly but it's taking frustratingly long, I loved this explanation, will apply it the next time I ride.

[@colinlikewhat]

it takes time! just try to relax and have fun with it

[@GuitarKirk]

Very obvious you have taught for a living. Thank you for all you do for bmx

[@EBC3productions]

Please keep these coming, fundamentals are always needed. thanks

[@wd5074]

So glad you’re back on TH-cam!!!

[@emiliebrown3402]

This video helped me fix my fakies 180’s and manuals better than any other video instant results and I’ve scoured forums, and TH-cam for any piece of advice I could get, and none of them had results as quick as this video. Did I just played the video in my pocket and did 10:19 what he said to do in real time it’s a lot easier that way. Plus you won’t have to remember. Not only that he does a good job emphasizing key points. Thank you so much man.

[@colinlikewhat]

Really happy to hear this! Keep shredding

[@janeblogs324]

Have you got an equipment list? Mic,camera, tripod etc?

[@royenator]

i think he might be using a gopro and a mini microphone mounted to his shirt.

[@ski4774]

I got my first bmx today and I didn't know how to ride, once I was ok riding I forgot how to break and rolled 4 times down a hill

[@p0lar_bear]

This.... like i'm 6ft 240(43years old)... i just feel so goofy riding a BMX

[@p0lar_bear]

what's with the seat so low...

[@raw_si_siht]

I'm 40 about to be 41, about 5'11" 200lbs, just got back into BMX about 2 yrs ago, there's plenty of options for you. Look up the S&M Longjohn Seat Post. Would be perfect for you.

[@EternalScary]

Hey, I’m only 24 but 6’4. If size is an issue, I really like the WTP Audio 22”. It feels incredibly stable

[@LM_Void]

do you have to be fit for bmx biking

[@royenator]

no, you dont really. however you may have less stamina

[@JamesJohnson-mu7zh]
