    Maaan, I finally realized this recently. Engaging my spine and core is crucial to executing pretty much anything. I’m learning that the absolute core of doing anything cool in bmx is keep good posture and lead with your head. Now it’s just down to doing those hundreds and thousands of times to turn it into habit.

      hinge at the hips man a lot of people lean into the bike and arch their back so dont do that, hinge at the hips like a deadlift/squat and row the bike upward and push it back out

      Hell yeah!! I love seeing people that are not in their teens anymore get into riding. I'm only 24 but I'm already self conscious whether I'm not already too old to start riding. But I mean I know it's a bullshit sentiment. You can always start and have a good time and get good. What matters is that it's one more person enjoying BMX! No matter how old they are!!

    This us great! I needed something like this. I'm pretty tall so I was always unsure wether my bike was big enough for me and whether I had my posture on it correctly. I kept pausing video parts to see how the riders there were doing it :D so this is really useful! I think I've been doing okay so far since I've gotten quite the good muscle ache in my legs and lower back after riding. But it's reassuring to also hear that you actually HAVE to bend your legs. I'm not super flexible so I was worried that not having my legs straight was a bad thing. Thanks for this!! :)

    • @billy_bikes
      @billy_bikes  3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey buddy, you should get into stretching! that will help you bend and all that, I'm glad this video helped you. Practice these methods and you'll get better. I like how you were watching other riders and trying to break it down yourself

    • @mastalovin
      @mastalovin ปีที่แล้ว

      The nature of these how to videos is that they are for beginners, so breaking down beginner tricks into the finer details like this is very smart. I know there are tons of how tos for basic tricks, but you seem to be taking a unique approach with how to focus on the rest of your body while trying to make the bike do what you want.
      I’d like to see:
      Core exercises and pre-riding warmup and stretches.
      How to protect yourself in a fall.
      Your tips for manuals on instagram was extremely helpful, the strong lat/ keep shoulders back has helped me tons and should have been obvious to me 😅 but you helped make it click. I suggest you turn that into a longer form video along with other Little details like should my feet be parallel to the wheel line or the ground, how to low to sit in it.

    • @billy_bikes
      @billy_bikes  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@mastalovin I love the detailed reply, that is the direction that I would like to go. I noticed watching the tutorials being produced today a lot of riders are really good at doing tricks but not so great at describing the effort to new people to the sport.
      That's why I took the exercise science approach, I wanted to test simple biomechanical theories to see how my audience reacted. I also started riding in 2003 and started lifting weights in the same year so I naturally relate riding to exercise and physical strength so much. I would like to incorporate things like that for you guys but like I said, I didn't know how it would be responded to. I'm glad there is a want for that.
      What I'd like to do is dive into each topic from instagram on video like this one, obviously since its winter right now everything will be street geared, how to hop or grind but we'll get into park/trails and bailing; even in each given discipline but it being winter is also a great chance to bust out the gym work in video content.
      I'd like to redo the bunnyhop video and then I have this riding in the winter video idea I want to do but would you like to see a stretch video up next?
