I know that you fail at the trick a lot more gracefully than I do. Lol... my fails dont look as good. Thanks for the inspiration. My son and I love yoir videos.
Awesome vid and how too man. Been working on some as well for people. This was great! Love my boomerang from the back pegs to that no handed thing I do. Anyways ride on buddy
Thanks man, its cool to see other flatland riders posting videos and helping each other out. Especially since it's such a small sport and many of us don't have alot of people to ride with locally. Looking forward to checking out your videos.
Glad to see you posted today - hadn’t seen a new vid from you in awhile. Love your stuff, cool to see other Christian flatland/BMX creators. Hoping to be able to start posting by the EOY. Would love to connect!
@@BloodOrangeFreeman yeah man I was just telling my wife that it is cool to see other Christian Flatland writers posting stuff. I look forward to seeing some of your videos and would love to connect as well.
Great tips thanks, I got the footjam boomer and with a front brake the back end comes up half the time. Need to learn to flail roll it out but my arms give way ha.
Yeah, I personally have not been able to do it without brakes. The backend does come up for me sometimes as well. I find that tucking the knees can help.
I am 6’2”, so where about the same height. I am currently riding a 19.5 inch top tube. I am thinking about moving up to a 20 inch top tube. Some Flatland riders even ride a 21 inch top tube if they are very tall, but that does make it a little more difficult to learn certain tricks. You may want to go for a frame around the 20 inch or 20.5 inch top tube. Something like the utopia hybrid or Haro lava steel 20.25 inch version. If you are looking for a complete bike, I might give some different options.
you should mention bar position(fork aligned, slightly forward...etc...heavier people will have trouble keeping that back wheel to stay grounded :) I always found I am less spinning around the head tube and more..sorta jumping over the bars(not completely :) ) and then coming back...maybe I am just weird :)
Yeah, that’s a good point about the back wheel coming up. That definitely happens a lot. Yeah, I see what you mean about almost jumping over the bars. Personally, I find that tucking my knees up above the crossbar of the handlebars can help with that. Probably I should’ve mentioned that. I hadn’t thought much about handlebar position now. But I do have mine tilted forward just a bit.
@@flatlandjourney I do as well(bars forward..tall guys)...it does make positioning easier, but also initially brings my back wheel off the ground....every time..and I am thin(we have about the same build)... My post was not intended to judge...just B.S. -ing with you. liked, I will always like a vid..I can do the tricks, but I understand the family/work/youtube balancing act.
@@nowherebrain yeah I’m always thinking about how I can set up my bike better as a tall rider. What frame/size are you riding? I appreciate all the comments!
@@flatlandjourney I think it's 19"..or 19.5" autum bikes katze V3..had it for about 4 years now...but in all honesty I still jump on my pro performer from 97 and it is a much better ride....people seem to love the 75deg HT angle...I hate it :) the GT pro perf had like a 73 or so...and it is just great. What frame are you running?
@@nowherebrain i’m riding a far East cycles black wind frame that has a 19.5 inch top tube. I’ve been thinking about trying something a little bit longer like around a 20 inch top tube. But I do like my set up pretty good.
Always more than one way to do a trick there is. Gotta love it when old gets mixed in with new as well.
Totally!
Great tutorial bro!! Keep posting them👍👍👍
Thanks man!

How tall are you and what tt size is your frame? I am 6’3”, and what to get back into in. Haven’t rode since 2002.
