- I made this video for people who are NEW TO BMX and don't know what kind of tricks to try. I tried to pick things with low risk so that all of you can go out and try this stuff. Hopefully it helps some of you guys and let me know what you thought about it.

"Yeah so i was driving through the parking lot and there was this kid just smashing his bike into a pole repeatedly."
Bahahahahahag

1.3M uh. Well
that was me
THATS HOW YOU GET IT TO LAND THE TRICKS

Derp Pg3d lol
the world is your canvas.. until a cop decides to kick you out..
DINO IDEAS hahaha
The real key to riding street is to ride in, do a few trix, then ride out like you don't know what happened!! Then ride on to the next spot!! BMX is NOT ILLEGEAL!!!!
So true
Think of them as erasers😂
If you don't fall you don't progress
Keep in mind
its normal to fall
learn from your mistake
and Ride Safe
If that was true then I was bmx worldchampion
You quit?
Subscribe to me for no reason oh yeah yeah
smart people learn from the mistakes of other
i have to stop biking for a bit because my handlebar slammed into my chest area.
You're like the Bob Ross of bmx
James Spaht “there are no mistakes only happy accidents”
1:01 you're right
Agreed.
And BTW, don't worry about passing cars Spencer, you have a great natural presenting style. Very watchable!

Happy little tree🌲
lameboi_460 that’s what my dad said about me
Dude, you are such a fucking gift to the BMX community, your attitude is just what the world needs. Yeah that sentence is cheesy as all fuck and I stand by it. Keep being yourself man.
arsebiscuitsandwine second that
I prefer biscuits and arsewine.
arsebiscuitsandwine don't swear dude
I was laughing the whole way through this video. Funny guy good attitude
@@brettthegamer4984 don't tell people what they fuck to do, dude.
I've been riding bikes for over 10 years and I still enjoy this type of stuff 😂 it's all about fun
I'm a beginner BMX rider and I'm in it for the fun.
Khyree Holmes you got talent kid I’ll sponsor you right now
alan maki Riding a long time doesn't mean you're good...
Yup haha
@@idontbelieveinpenises1952 so it means your bad and dont know anything, or what do you mean by good
5:40 triple barspin backflip!!!
Lol
I’m 37 years old. My daughter (8) got a Bmx. I usually ride a mountain bike. I sold it and bought a Bmx today. Very excited to start a new chapter!
This is a great video for beginners!
36 old just got a bmx ;)
35 just got back into BMX. Bought a 22" complete and just built a 20"... It's so fun
updates?
I suck… sold it and got a motorcycle instead 😂
I bought one again at 45 and would go to the skatepark early in the morning before anyone was there. Loved it! It was a perfect transition from the DJ bike.
I've been riding for a few months but didn't know what sort of basic things to do to work up skill. This video is awesome, thanks heaps
Matt Legge same bro ❤️
I just came back from a Bike Control Practice Session at a local Elementary School and the after school parents with looking at me.
Exactly is a term meaning it is with absoluteness, or without discrepancy. Almost means nearly which leaves room for discrepancy. The terms conflict and shouldn't be used together. It would be like saying "I always never do this"
Matt Legge imma give you some fkn lemonade!!!
you are lucky that you have bmx
Who’s here to find something to learn while stuck in quarantine 😂
I got a bmx just before quarantine to keep me occupied and I've been riding everyday
Right
knowledge to use 4 months later
I just got a bike for quarantine

“Beginner fundamentals for bmx”
*Does lateral jumps*
Aka bunnyhop
Bunnyhopping is a very basic skill
Ants Arumäe going from side to side isn’t a bunny hop
Ants Arumäe learned to bunny jump on my bike, not a bmx more like a xc bike
how he stop I no see no brakes
This is by far one of the best BMX videos I have watched in a long time. What makes it great is your devotion and positive message. Viewers can observe your dedication in the filming and editing, as well as your progression as a rider. The apparent commitment is complimented with an all-comers welcome attitude. BMX is shown through a non bias and welcoming point of view. All riding is good riding is a common theme, showing that anyone can have fun on a bike. Please continue to produce content while staying true to your core values.
Thank you

Zac Mealman I don’t even get what you said

Spencer: Wear your helmet
Trey Jones: [heavy breathing]
One of the best intro videos --- low risk, high difficulty, and focused on bike control skills. Becoming one with the bike leads to more and more tricks. Even an experienced rider should continue practicing these skills. 👍
Took me two years to tick the boxes. I'm over 50. Thank you very much Spencer for the simple basics.
Thanks for promoting safety and starting off with some basic tricks. My 6 year old watches all the extreme bmx stuff and so I appreciate the "be safe first" and how crucial basic skills are. 👊
This channel is crazy...... A BMX channel with ACTUAL BMX riding. My Brain hurts i need some Fuck!ng Lemonade...
Nathan Krassow yeah, don't forget to thank Adam LZ for making this guy start a CZcams channel.
I will do no such thing.
Nathan Krassow why???

It's great that a talented rider like you really embraces the BMX community and post a video like this. It all looks fun to me. The pegs to pole was especially impressive. Could not think of a better person to instruct at Woodward. Good for you Spencer. You have the best personality. Cheers brother.
I'm 38, my kid is 7. Going to get back into bmx. Good exercise, bonding with kid, and reconnecting with childhood days. We're listening out here
I started bmx again at 35!
Cheers mate! Best wishes from an English 40-Something in France who has just been given his first BMX! 🇬🇧🏆🇺🇲.... Here we go! Subscribed
Other great thing to help you learn is just ride with talented riders if you have them. Whenever I ride with someone better than me I progress extremely quickly.
you have to keep progressing even when you'll become the best
I liked the vid and would like to see more of this! People that already can do everything on their bmx don't need this as much! I'm trying to learn all that basic stuff and get comfortable whit my bmx, specially in the air!
This is the best intro to bmx video I've ever seen. I'm 50 and am getting my first bmx bike for Father's Day (already ordered). Thank You!
just want to shout you at spencer, i picked up a bike 3 months ago and watched this i just landed my first hop 360 on flat and i feel watching riders such as you and scottys crew is essential to new rider gaining confidence in their selves keep it up bro!!
Thanks for doing this kind of beginner progression videos Spencer! I'm new to bmx and I really want to become a good rider like you :)
I imagine people thought you were wearing a helmet for different reasons when they drove past you peg slamming into the post! 🤣
This is a very helpful video! 🤟
Just starting BMX after having skateboarded my entire life, but having issues with my pushoff foot. But I still yern to just cruise around downtown, and search for sick spots to hit. It sucks not being good physically like I used to. I'm 38, and REALLY falling in love with BMX! This video is a GREAT help. Thank you.
I used to ride way back in the day on a free agent and recently picked up riding again. This video has helped my bmx journey a lot, appreciate it man!
I have never ridden, and probably never will but you are one entertaining person. Found you through LZ.
I haven´t touched a BMX in my life, but when I watch videos about it, I feel like I would like to do that. Thanks for the video¡
Been following you and adam for a while now and have only started riding just recently. Didn't really know what to practice other than bunny hops and manuals so this video was perfectly timed. Would definitely like to see more of these every now and then. Something else you might try on one is find someone new to bmx and teach them a few things to also see it from the beginners perspective. Love your work man, keep it up!
literally just getting back into bmx since 10 years, i broke both my knees, and i was always afraid to start again, instead of dirttracks ill keep it on the street this time tho, so this is a great help man!!
Spencer foresman's tutorials has taught me to 360, barspins and manuals. Praise Papa. Dedication errday for hours.

Man.. I've been waiting forever for someone in BMX to talk about the Bump Jump. I love catching a nice hop off of a rock in the road or anything raised slightly from ground. They seem rare amongst the footage.
dan foley is the man for you
Nothing beats finding a nice rock to catch a bump off-a....😹😱👢
Hey man I've been biking for a few years with different bikes I've been buying better and better bikes to work up to the more complicated tricks and I had no clue these tricks were out there to help me gain more control over my bike thank you man u have such a good attitude when it come to biking honestly we need more ppl like you in this world thank you man keep up the good work
Awesome... I am 40 yrs old bmx dirt rider... getting all my 4 kids high end bmx bikes for xmas and also bought myself a nice Stranger... but this video was perfect for me seeing how I didn't do a lot of free style stuff when I was a kid... also going to be building a full quarter pipe... so great video and you super funny as well.
Fun to watch, i think this video is pretty helpful for people who start bmx, nice vid!
more of this. i used to ride 11 years ago. Bought a bike recently getting back into it. SO PLZ more of this. super helpful. You are a joy to watch!
34, and I just got a bike a couple weeks ago! Great tips, you broke it down so simple! Definitely have some ideas as to where to start!
This is good it's about time someone took the time off to show you how to ride BMX bike. I myself always wanted to learn how to do tricks on the BMX bike. So now this is my chance to learn I'm a beginner. I've been seeing guys do tricks on the BMX bikes and it's a beautiful thing. Especially when someone is very skilled and good. Thanks a lot my brother I will be looking at all your stuff.
Good tutorial! It is different from the others, gonna try some of those things to improve my bike control!
great tutorial dude, well explained and realistic for us noobs
keep up good work..
I really liked your lighthearted approach to teaching basic BMX tricks. Not only did you make it easy to understand but you were doing things that no other video had talked about, so well done for giving some cool and basic ideas to building up your trick repertoire. Greetings from Australia 🦘🇭🇲
Cheers Spencer, I just started riding BMX this year, and appreciate you putting time into this.
Unfortunately I slid off the side of a quarter pipe last night, when the park was still wet after rain, and hit my knee pretty hard so it's couch & youtube for the next couple weeks. Kids, wear pads! I could have been riding right now, IF ONLY I HAD FOLLOWED MR FORESMAN'S ADVICE!
This 36 year old newb sure appreciated this video 👍 Seemed like a lot of fun as well 🤙
36 damn bra jaja..shit Wyatt lets ride together bro..im 36 to and been riding for years
Tip. When jumping over a curb don’t hit your back wheel òn it when bunny hoping unless u wanna fly over the bars ( learnt the hard way)
Easton McRee i did that a couple weeks ago and ate some pavement
Keep your local dentist in business 😂
so
It's been a couple years since I saw this video but I did give these things a shot although granted haven't been able to spend much time BMXing here in Scotland for all kinds of reasons.
One thing I did was get a bottle and just "kick" it around with my bike in different ways, hitting it with the tyres. It was really fun, helped me learn some of the intricate stuff for bike control. By the end of the night (yes, one night) I went from just being ok with that kind of stuff to really having fun with it. I was whipping the bottle with my back wheel and shit. I left at 2am and came back to my flat at 5 or 6am. Some of the reactions were quite good where I was too, drunk people stopping to watch me and shit haha.
Keep doing you Spencer and thanks for making this video!
Thanks a lot. I may not have the BMX tricks, but I love the instant response it gives me when I'm pulling into my driveway at like 10 MPH or so. I really appreciate your tutorial. I'm still trying to get better air on my bunny hops, but whatever. I love the freedom BMX gives me. I ride Haro Bikes--like BMX Pro Mike Gray, or Grey. Thanks again, Mike
Nice video you should do more how-to videos!
Yessss
yes
I'm 42 I got myself a bike 3 weeks ago and have a bag of tricks on my bucket list to cross out 👊💯, You are a gift to bmx ing
Dennis10X Doing the same at 44,yolo.
I used to manny like that as a kid. Gonna start that entry level practicing again now. Thanks for the vid, it's really helpful for beginners or guys who stepped away for too long
I really like this video bro, thank you. I have been trying to teach my boy how to ride a bike & I kept running into trouble with ideas on where/how to begin, (outside of the basic manuals/side to side bike shifts).
This video was literally PERFECT for showing some basic rudiments to practice on without putting ur neck in jeopardy.
Please do make more like this if ur able 😁👍🏻
When your a pro bmx rider but still watch this video because you love Spencer
"Its the worst when you want to ride your bike, and you cant..." Im watching from a hospital bed s i feel u
Didnt wear your helmet 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Oh dont worry safety is number one... my kidneys are fucked up from idk what
Last year I went to a bike park with my family and got hurt in the first hour so know.
@@capitansqab138 ah damn man I was joking but I hope you get better
@@Flashpropart ohh thx man, it is getting better!
Thanks for making this video. This is exactly what people who are just starting out need to see. I appreciate your work on this
I haven't ridden in 12 years when sprockets were averaging 33-39T, this vid gave me a good basic refresher for bike control
7:41 You missed the perfect chance to put "for whom the bell tolls" in there bruh.
moip12021 I think I'm one of the only ones that understand it lol
Church bells? lol
The Standard Clasher no, it's a metallica song
Lol metallica rules!
@@joint.6162 it's a hemmingway book
do a video on how to set up your bike to suit your riding style.. position and width of the bars , seat height .. that sort of stuff
Did you ever find a good video haha
@@ramii2267 nope
@@Create_o_raptor damn😂
been riding for 10+ years and learned tricks before bike control. I can backflip and barspin but i cant air out or manual.....yeah i know haha. ive been looking for someone who could break down the fundamentals of bike control and this is EXACTLY the type of tutorial concept I've been looking for. Thanks man
waiting for my new bottom bracket to arrive along with my new seat post and pegs so i’m i’m the bench for a few days, your videos along with panza and billy are keeping me going 🤣
nice video, exactly my level
Spins! 180s and 360s.
Just keep your head turned and be confident. That is all you need to do.
Seth Phelps cuuuuurve
just got my first bike in like, 15 years, i’m so stoked. thanks for this video man this is perfect
I was just about to comment last night when the transformer outside my apartment got struck by lightning and the power went out. Freaking loud. My ears were ringing. Any way, I just got a new bike and have only been riding for about a week (when it hasn't been raining). I've mainly been thinking of BMX as just exercise. I tried to do some of the harder tricks but got discouraged, but because of this video I'm now focusing only on having fun, hoping, and balance and I'm already seeing improvements. I can sometimes high hop now. Thank you for reminding me to have fun with this. Thank you for posting this video, and thank you Spencer! :)
step 1: bunny hop and ride a curb double tire.
me in youtube search engine: how to bunny hop.
i know it’s bad.😂
it’s okay haha, just keep practicing, i used to barely make it up bunny hopping up curbs in august and with lots of practice now i can bunny hop tire height .
@@jaclob_after 3 years now how high you can bunny hop ?
00:47 anyone see the squirrel in the background?
I Knew someone had to have made that comment. Got so distracted by the little thing running in the back.
yes
I know this video is a bit old now but I just got a BMX today and can't wait to get riding. I'm turning 30 soon so I'm not ancient but I'm a little late to the party. You're a legend, this is exactly the sort of video I was looking for. Tail whips are a long way off yet so these tricks are perfect for me to get practising. Thank you so much!
I’m 48,just bought a. BMX and done it up,now I’m gonna start some tricks,great video 👍
Anyone notice the squirrel run across in the background? 😂😂
yes i do :)
“Don’t baby your bikes!” You then see a kid that has a bmx bike that watched this video and he’s running it over with a car
I was cracking my self up 😂
I love you baby!
I posted the exact same Comment
XD
43 just ordered a bmx first one, had mountain bikes as a kid. This is a really good video and thanks for the tips I'll watch again next week when my bike is delivered
you sir are the shit. I've watched tons of your vids and your falls are majestic but you almost never get hurt. keep doing this man!!!!
How to overcome fear of barspins? I can do pullup bars but not hop bar
Tadeáš Paštinský Try wearing knee and shin pads and just commit to throw them.
Tadeáš Paštinský same bro, same...
Tadeáš Paštinský wear gloves and ship it
I had the same problem. Everything I am about to tell you will help a lot. (it did for me, at least) Put your seat up like 6 in or as high as it goes. this helps keep the bike under you. (you can lower it when you are more comfortable) Get a pair of gloves. Thank me later. If you have a trampoline, make a tramp bike. Words can't explain how much a tramp bike helps. If you dont have a trampoline, maybe take your wheels and cranks off and try them flat with your feet on each side. Feels dumb, but thats as close as you can get to the real thing. Once you are comfortable with the motion, find a flyout quarter and force yourself to throw them. It takes time
i always smack the crap out of my knee when i throw them i have to shift my feet on the pedals aaaalloot to get the bars past my knees ? i can pull up bar but it always feels like its going back into the ground too fast and it looks sketchy
The squirrel at 0:47
Wtf 😂
haha WTF
You see him again at 8:25
BIQ your so distracted 😂😂
Really jaja a squirrel...aint nobody see that shit but you jaja
This was great, Ive rode for several years, but that was over 10 years ago. I just ordered a stolen saint 24 and am STOKED to take it out to some parking lots! those lateral jumps look fun to master, never thought of that tbh
I was prolly like 15 and 16 when I first watched this quarter conscious and now im 20 just bought a bmx and now im gonna try to commit to this, this very nostalgic I hope your doing good !!
I feel your personality can make an video topic cool af
#fuckinglemonade
Thanks
cool vid brotha, good advice, especialy about helmets... im 31 just getting back into bmx and i was nver very good but its so fun
I wonder what you sounded like before puberty
Im 31 and I’ve been wanting to get into bmx for a while now, I’m waiting for my bike to come in the mail, and def cant wait to start learning tricks and freestylin
Great video Spencer, you reminded me of some tricks I've forgotten. I definitely would like to see another one with slightly more advanced tricks. And keep stepping it up from there, that way everyone will benefit. Thanks for the video bro!
what helmet is that? mine is big as shit and uncomfortable as heck
Makoto Yabusaki Also interested in that helmet. Looks pretty low profile
Makoto Yabusaki Protec makes a pretty good helmet that's not too bulky
Bern EPS helmet with the adjustable strap
First ayyy love the vid
nah u aint even close mate
You get a like and sub for being the only BMX youtuber I've seen heavily promoting helmet use. I've saved my life and limb plenty of times with helmets and pads!
Back to basics! Love this video man... as someone who is older and just starting to ride BMX this was really helpful. Subbed!
Please keep making videos targeted to beginners. All the other beginner videos are the same shit every time. Your video had some different tricks and things to try along with the classics.
I have been riding for a year and just learned to flat 360 barely and I'm really bad
I feel you. I'm riding for like a half year, and i can barely bunnyhop
Noah Lam wow it's good to know someone's in the same shell as I am. But bmx takes patience and time to learn new tricks so you half to kind of expect that
x1WARRIOR1x I can almost 180 normally I do a 120
I haven't been riding for long but earlier I was learning foot jam tailwhips
I've been riding bmx almost daily for 15 years and this is a great video for beginners man,,good job on it!! Subbed!!
Great video buddy as a 40 year old that just got a new bike, lived forBMX my whole youth also another great bike control practice is doing a curb endo and rolling back as far as you can.
Remember watching this video late 2017 right after getting my bike and went out and mastered all of these things. The best thing you can do for yourself is finding a group of friends to hang out and have a good time riding bmx, Friends are a good way to progress and be competitive with. Today we had a highest hop contest and I was hoping a standing bike hight. I used to hop folded lawn chairs (laying down unfolded)in my driveway and barley make it over them. Bmx is the best thing that’s happened to me and as long as you have the mindset to strive to get better and are not afraid to try new things it will be the most fun you’ll ever have
I know these vids might be basic or boring for u to do, but I can’t tell u how much you have helped me in my progress. I’ve watched ur tutorial videos many times ✌🏼👍🏼✌🏼
To just reiterate what everyone else is saying big thanks to this video it shouts out everything that's right. In my opinion at least. It gave me somewhere to start and some confidence I'm not the only one
these beginner videos are great thank for pointing me in the right direction
This vid actually helped be get back on my bike years ago no b.s . Solid advice . ✌
...the back flip at 5.45 was my favourite......you make me laugh.....thankyou
I used to have a BMX when I was about 4-6 years old. I just got a new one yesterday and I am currently learning.
Cool, thanks, got my 1st bmx at age 57, and loving it, I also bought a DJ and I already had a DH, I love all three. Biking is my youth pill, bike on.
Doug Bowers I remember thinking I left like a little kid riding a bike and I heard other people say they feel their inner kid come out lol
Rode bmx from age 10-19, and I think now I’m finally old enough to not care if ppl think I’m too old! Buying a 20” bike at 52 lol
I laughed, I cried, and I became inspired. Thanks so much!
Gotta love the SPOT swag you always got on. Hometown pride
I've just bought a new bike after not riding for 20 years lol, this is the best video ive seen yet, thanks
That was a good video. I like the tricks and the advice that went along with it. I'm 47 and just started back at BMX I haven't really tried any of this stuff since I was a teenager, but I was a great rider back then I can still bunny hop and stuff. Working on manuals seems weird but after such a long time its necessary.
