Just started racing less than a month ago and your videos have helped me so much! I am progressing quickly and have already won races. Love the race vlogs AND the learning videos.
Met you at 2024 Grands. My son Jayden got to take a Pic with you right after the award Ceremony. Appreciate all that you do and provide to the racing community. I watched the original video you did about the pedals a while back. Definitely made a difference. Awesome tips on all of your videos. Thank you and keep them coming.
Really looking forward to all the tips and tricks I can learn from you man. Going into my second season I've already learned a lot from watching your videos. Keep doing what you do man we all really appreciate you
Last year, I bought a new set of HT T2 because the springs on my old set were worn out to much. But I also bought a new set of springs so I could have a spare set of pedals. I was kind of afraid to play with the springs, but it turned out to be a pretty simple task. It took me about 30 minutes to change all four springs and the pedals are still working like new after a season of abuses. Love your technical content, it really help me to do my repairs and maintenance on my fleet of bmx and mountain bikes!
Great tip, just did that to my HT’s. Always hated how stiff they were. Would love to see video of pumping technique. You are the absolute master of generating speed over obstacles by pumping. And if anyone else reads this, try to get to one of Barry’s clinics.. it helped me immensely 🤘
The content is great. I appreciate the how too videos. I haven’t gotten into the spindle but I’ve done the springs and back plate Mechanism and that’s not too bad. I was afraid there was more inside the pedal to worry about and wouldn’t get it back together correctly. Seeing this ill have a go at it, Thanks Barry
The engineer in me wishes there was a quantitative way to see if this actually helps. Obviously it free spins better… but under load (which high pressure is one reason greases exist compared to oil lubrication) I wonder if you’re actually losing some minuscule number of watts. Regardless, I love to see this content. As a 32yo BMX’er who started this at 7yo, it’s nice to see someone who stuck it out to the top, turning around and giving back. We’ll be watching!
Love your vids mate, at 49 im still learning and ive learnt alot from your vids. Love the tech stuff more so for me, and the tips n tricks kinda vids. Im a harley guy too so dig that stuff. But regardless man, ill still be watching.
How to get into BMX say a 30 plus people tips. Say someone later in life is like, wow I would like to try it out. What route or how should they get into it from bike selection and Beginner tips from cornering. I know jumping comes last.
Hey Barry I love you videos I’ve been watching since the very beginning if there was one Vlog I really wanna see it is a tour of your bike shop because I look so cool and that’s what I want. My bike shop to look like when I’m older. Hope you and Willow and Kelsey are all doing well and I can’t wait for future videos.
Thank you for making and for sharing the video. One thing seemed to be missing from this pedal spinning specific video. You never really explained exactly why the better/more/faster spinning pedal is actually better for improving peddling/racing performance etc. I am not trying to bust any balls....I am just left kind of semi-seriously wondering why the need and why the bother. What is the big advantage to be had for the rider? How does peddle spin rate factor in to making more/better speed? Is it just more of a "better feel" to the specific rider's desires type of thing?
Anything that moves more freely will have less friction. Less friction means less energy used to move. These are the 1%s that I talk about out often. Little things throughout your set up that work more efficiently will work together for bigger overall gains. Think about how much better your body works after you’re warmed up then if you were to just roll out of bed stiff.
Love the channel Barry. I'm new to BMX riding and I'm wondering about what equipment upgrades I can make to a stock BMX bike that would make the biggest difference as I get better as a rider. Thanks!
The biggest improvement you can make kinda depends where you start. Going out and buying a Chase Element vs an Edge is going to change that answer significantly. A nice wheelset/tire/TPU tube is the best way to stiffen the wheels as well as dropping rotating weight. So that would get my vote, but it can get pricey quick!

That’s cool to hear! I’ll have to get a set of springs and do a video about that
You know it's time to get down to business when the coveralls come out! 👍

I don’t care about “E” anything but love the trail/ backyard / BMX everything
Oh man you are missing out on that experience then! Haha

We do like seeing the different tracks you teach at so we can see different lay outs and techniques
Good to know!
Good tip. Been doing that for years, did it on my daughters bike build a few years ago too. Definitely makes a difference!
@@blakeerdmann the 1%s add up!
@barrynobles95 Yes it does!
Thanks for sharing. This is so awesome!
What about a good flowy pump track for your self, other and Willow🤔
There's nothing better than wating your how to's and behind the scenes videos 🤩
Great tips. Speed secrets. Gotta love it
