Damn. It makes such a difference learning with experienced riders.
I love how he has no idea how crazy it was to be able to grind down that ledge within 5 days of buying a bike 😂😂
Right?!?! Grinding a hubba is gnarly in the first week of riding.
For sure. He has heart. It also doesn't hurt having a confidence booster and guidance from a pro like Nigel.
Depends how much bike control you have and if you rode a different discipline before hand. My buddy started on mtb and rode djs and the tiniest bit of bowl. Learned hand rails like 3rd day on bmx in the streets not even at a park. Dude could uprail within his first year. And our season is like 6 months at best.
Gotta give it to him he absolutely sent everything
man's gong for it though, fair play to him for attacking like this! most people wouldn't dare go this hard in the first week of riding
5 days?? That is impressive! Credits to Nigel too, pushing someone makes a difference.
damn man , been riding for around 4 weeks now , only just got 180s (on a quarter), this video inspires me to just push myself so much harder now to get where i want to be in riding
4 weeks an 180 is pretty good man it took my about 2 months. keep up the grind like i did and you'll be amazing
Oh shit Rico again😂
Lol, I been riding for a 2 months and still I can barely J-hop and really bad bunny hops, good on y’all!
been riding bmx my whole life since like 5 or 6, you progressed so fast, world record status. BMX is deffinitly hard, mad props
8:16 it's nice to see him finally start letting go of the handlebars when bailing
lmao i just thought he was stupid the first 8 minutes of the video
Pretty cool that he went for the bonus double peg down the stairs.
8:03
Felt so happy for him
It only took half an elbow to put on pads. His confidence went up when he did. 👑👑👑
Yo, that was great. You learnt those tricks pretty quick. Damn, bmx really burn all those calories? Why the hell am I going to the gym.
BMX is way more mentally stimulating than the gym; exploration is a massive part of street riding, as construction is to dirt jumping.
I’m turning 30 in two months and want in on this. 6’2” and 270lbs is gunna look goofy but I WANT it
so what happened?
I'm curious too. When they wrote their comment I was same height and weight, and just getting back into road cycling after 20 yrs of couch potato. I lost 50lbs and quit smoking from riding a bike.
That intro was sick
Mad props, great trainer.
Damn dude! That was amazing for just 5 days!
I'm manifesting my midlife crisis by buying a BMX...at 44!
I'm trying, but wife. :D
@@tdeeez ha. mine just left!
@@christianbamber5258 you don't even look 44 man, how's the bmx journey? :))
@@victorstriga ah thanks. It's awesome... I quit my gym membership because bmx is such a good workout! Loving it though still struggling with manuals!
If you need any help with parts or bikes let me know I'd be glad to help.
Feeble, double peg off the a frame, and that kinda foot plant were all really impressive for 5 days of riding. though, if it were something you were continuing id reccommend staying away from tricks, focusing on the bunny hop and just feeling the bike as it flows, it really builds the fundamental feeling for the bike.
Thats a real journey man, respect.
From a riders perspective, you have my respect! Bmx isn’t easy.
That intro was hard af fr
This video deserves more views
I wonder if he stuck with it. For what he learned in one week was pretty gnarly.
i love it thank you for the inspiration
that is actually very impressive. damn. he killed it! and in just 5 days? amazing
recently bought a bmx - just learned to bunny hop , currently working on doing a manual now.
Underrated
Props to that guy!
Come back for a part 2 haha this was fun!
this guys got balls
Good video bro keep up the good work bro God bless He loves you
AWEsome dude ! BMX is so cool !
Getting smoked on everything then pulls Double peg down the hubba 😂 so sick
gj on the ledge at the end :D
There's a chance for this series. Its pretty good.
Inspiring
Pretty good for a newbie!
That’s awesome! Is there anymore?
Yes yes it is 🤙🏻
Ooohhh, a 2019 Augie complete
Damn that was dope and inspiring! Always wanted to get into BMX! Anyone know what bike he got?
Nice dude
Finally!!
Very cool video! Worth the watch. I've been biking most of my life. I can't "do" much exactly but riding and the freedom my bike gives me is just something I have always had!
good vid
And it me 4 months to Learn a 180😂
Bmxing for 7 months now and not even close to being as good as you
I mean it helps if you’re under pressure to learn asap and have a nice park like that AND a pro to coach you through all of it. Keep it going bro you’ll get there soon if you’re not there yet
ikr
love bmx brasil gosto de mais de bmx
Is that a Fitbike Augie? Was gonna buy that bike but didnt havr the cash.
SUS! 5 days really? I've been riding for months 3 to 4 times a week and not even close to doing a line like that. Sure he got a sweet bike, a nice park and a Pro as a coach, but 5 days? Is this for real? I kinda want to call BS here.
Thats awesome!!!! I dont even think my location even sells bikes :(
If you need help with bikes let me know.
But for online retailers you can usually find one fairly local. Dansomp in the states. 3ride in Canada and various in Europe.
what's the tune @4.40? Anyone know????
Elbow pads?
Anyone know the song name @ 2:04?
First thing he needs to be able to do is bunny hop on flat before trying anything else and once it comes naturally to him then get more adventurous
Nigel not vibing by day 4
When it all started last year i started on a Shit as cheap bmx but I started doing tircks this year in February and got really good at it intill my shit bmx was geting broken so I saved all my money up for a way better stronger one and bought myself a wethepeople and I loved it intill my frame cracked 8 months later so I shaved up again and wanted to ride so bad then I got new cult heavens gate bmx and a wethepeople prabox? Frame and I love the new parts but I mostly ride street now
Don't buy completes once you start progressing. Buy after market parts.
Odyssey stuff and Sunday has life time warranties if you are tight on cash. Their frames cost a bit more but get something like a Sunday frame not all have the warranty but they're all strong. Soundwave or any wave frame has the warranty. Anything odyssey that says 41thermal same with Sunday.
We the people does make sick parts though same with eclat. Sunday and odyssey just have the best warranties.
yep it's difficult..but it's true that once you get the momentum and the feel, things will be better...but again, before you get that "feel", you will fell PAIN! 😂
Little late to this one but that has to be one of the worst parks to learn riding at.
did Nigel show him his double dribble hop whip technique^
handlebars are so nimble and very easy to move o its very hard
😅 just like me ! I was a skater for 16 years just swapped to buying a bmx at 31 years old 😂 first time at the park I hit a feeble on the box and dropped into a 5ft bowl with a basic jump out! I’m really sore and my body is on fire 🔥 😂 but I think bmx is 50 times easier on my body than skating was 😂
i'm 36, can i start learning all these tricks? :))
Denny DSU fuck yeah you can bmx is for everyone
Yup. Just grab a bike and start yo. Just remember to have fun. Even if it takes months to learn one trick.
You can start whenever you want! I started at age 12. and my brother started at 25
Hell fucking yes.
If you need any advise with bikes feel free to ask. I personally recommend wtp completes but many brands are awesome. Just make sure its full chromoly
I ride bikes. Bmx exactly. Imma guess its modern bike Geo with the big bars and short rear end. Get him at fourteen inch rear end and drop the bars a half inch and maybe even a slightly longer frame till he adjusts.
5 days learning on bmx is too short. Im a bmx rider on philippines
gj
Thats bs I’ve been riding for a year now and i still don’t know how to properly bunny hop
Lemme just pull up in the big apple a get training from nigel
five fuckin days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
try fgfs now :D
Sees bike shop name. ...Home atleast until i fucked up
I have been bmxing since the 90s and I still can’t bunny hop
have u stayed with the same bike
Flatland? Or.....
Then you can't bmx lmao
i know he's only ridden for 5 days but he cased it so much
Graphics beggi 2
First thing he should've learned is how to fall properly. Disaster.
this guy doesnt have knees ajaja
I know this video is old, but guys, you literally found the most irrelevant and arguably most hated name in BMX to coach... power move ✊✊✊
