- This segment is from the old "Basics" video by Transworld RIDEbmx. From rolling moves to spinning moves, Chad DeGroot and Day Smith teach you some of the building blocks of flatland riding.
Didn’t teach the tricks that well. But these guys are still LEGENDS in my book. 💯👌🏽
I watched this several years ago.
How to do a Steam roller, do a steam roller. How to do a gang 5, do a hang 5. Good job.
This looks so easy...Until i go outside and try it :D
Yeah !!!!! Seeing is easy but attempting to pull off this stunt trick ain’t easy either
@@albertpang102 everything is easy when youre just watching :p
dude, no matter where u see a video about learning how to flatland, flatlands are more in the expert side, you have to learn how to balance on your front peg first before trying this, and this dude did help me do a flatland, thanks man
Looks simple enough I think I'll go try it 😄
omg this is like the best tutorial ive seen yet for learning basic :]
"try getting your balance point"
nearly impossible
+ricky spanish for beginners that is
y'all make it look and sound so easy. practice makes perfect
Dang these Guys make it look SOo easy!
I remember buying this video
Now it's free😂
This kicks ass. Thanks for the tips.
Yo you still alive bruh
They may b old, but still just as helpful.
The only difference is that there r even more tricks now.
You want as short a frame as possible and your rear wheel as close to the dropouts because it will make it easier to balance and manual also its easier to handle a smaller bike depending on your height. your seat height is basically a matter of preference and depends on the type of tricks you want to pull...chad degroot the first rider and day smith the second rider are insane at what they do i would also say they are the best technical flatland riders out there keeping this sport alive
Going to get back into flatland at 34 haha what handlebars would be good nowadays
Oh ya for sure. Lot of guys don't use brakes at all anymore because their style is all about movement; as soon as they stop they start their ride all over. Going brakeless is harder but it forces you to be better and more creative and it's just more impressive. A guy does a trick with brakes it's cool but if he does it brakeless it's just cooler cuz you know his balance has to be really on point and the stakes are higher.
I'm a brake rider from 80s/90s and you're absolutely right. In fact, a rider today would practice harder than I did back in the day. The brakeless tricks today are frickin insane!
I personally love my Haro F1. its not too heavy, not too light. pretty easy to find balance points.
my first day with bmx and now searching videos how to's and beginner tricks :)
A tip to hang-fire is to always look forward, not down at your feet or ft.wheel
hey dude nice video....u guys made it gud by explainin all the steps and now its wukin out..... tnkz
Focus a majority of your time riding on the basics. The rest will come after you've developed a strong foundation. Without that strong foundation the advanced tricks will always be just out of reach. The problem with many riders that seriously want to learn is that they do not focus on the correct basics and they don't use their practice time effectively. I made that mistake when I was younger.
best instruction video ever
This video makes me miss flatland much. About to go buy a bike now!
Well, these tricks might be basic once we can do it, but what about during the trick and once you want to sit back on your bike. how the hell do you get back to your pedal? -.-
Used to run the bars Day Smith had. HB Love Handlebars 6 piece. Now a days if you more than a 2 piece people think it's a Wal-Mart bike. I still rock the 4 piece though.
When i came on this video i expected a couple of manuals, bunny hops and mabye some spins, except i found some of the most confusing tricks ever
If this is basics i wanna see Expert
tryed all of them bout ten times and finally got it on the last one and several scraps and bruses later.
thanks man this is a really easy tutorial to understand thank you
I'm thinking what most people are probably thinking...BASIC MY ASS! Well I'm 5:9 so I'm tall but I really want to learn these tricks. I'm gonna try and probably fail. Wish me luck on these "BASIC" tricks.
SuperMoshiMedia Hy , hows your progress? Still living the flatland dream? 😅greets
So much help ful maaan.
Loved this
@350ZnismoTuner
I've read a few times that flatland riders often use light chro-mo steel frames, so I don't see your frame stopping you doing anything. This is one quote I just read while googling the subject:
"The best flatland bikes feature lightweight durable chromoly steel frames designed specifically for flatland riding"
Holy fucking shit brad simms! Killing the flatland video! I enjoyed those lessons.
Robboooo Long Island represent
Them tricks are EPIC
Day Smith you're my hero man!
And Ride Out!
Chuckie Graswick should I ride out before or after I break my neck. I’m afraid if I try this I may need to ride out to the hospital! 😂😂😂😂
Your are the best buddy.
patience, motivation, practice and have fun is key to flatland ^_^
its heavy, but manageable. changing your fork for a flatland specific one would help a lot.
This is a thing I need to do at 3 in the morning
that's about when the video was produced...
@TheKoreanHoogin that just shows you how more badass bmxing is than skating
man u make it look very easy
So I now wanna learn flatland this summer!
Thx a lot!! Its a big help!!
@MATHIJSIE666 to get the frame up easier for the hang 5 you need to scoop the back peg as you push forward on the handlebars
look how smooth chad goes in to that inside junkyard omg!
im miss riding, yep those are the basic tricks for flatland..
this is best vid ive seen
Dude thanks I did all the tricks
great video man this helps alot I've been learning and this shows me proper positioning best video of seen great skills!!
I was learning back in the 80s when all we had was pictures in magazines to tryu to figure it out from.
I use to have this video whe I first started riding. I always thought the tricks they chose weren't the easiest. I can do plenty of different barflips but I can't do it his way. that's not basic nor the forward karl cruiser. still a good video though, helped me alot in the begining
@robseven7
it took me ages to learn hop to manual but if u just keep trying u might achieve the trick that your learning.
very educational video ty
haloooo people of flatland, i just want to say i have gotten into the funky chicken. it was so wierd i tried it and i was gliding for a few moments and then i got off my bike. i was FREAKING OUT!!!
Thnxxxxxxx Basic wheelie and balance
so this vid is really basics? are these the easiest tricks? i tried yesterday about 2h a hang-5 ...
@brokenbmx13f not only is your comment funny, but the fact that your username is brokenbmx is even better!
@guitarman1281 most likely, if your not sure if its heavy or not, its probly heavy. go to a bmx shop and get a lite bike. find a bike that is easy for you to pick up.
I rode away alright, in an ambulance, btw the handlebar was successfully removed from my kidney 😆
You serious?
tnx
i learnd alot of this video
i like this... greetings from germany!!
Jesus Christ... 25 years ago the only bad-ass things me and my circle of friends on bikes were doing were to see who could do the craziest jumps, who could do the longest wheelie and who could bronco the highest.
i got a verde Eon 2010, and i customized evry part. Its really nice and lite even we the parts r stock
I hope I can do these, I don't got now brakes so I can't feather
i got the gt zone 09 and its fairly lite but i really like it
I keep watching ur vid and tryin
I don't get how they can just keep spinning, and never get dizzy.
you make it look so easy lol
yeah it is really and for the flatland i was trying it as well but i just find it so hard to keep my balance and keep the bike balanced aswell
plus i can barely manual lol
this looks soo easy
when i see that , it seems so easy to stay on one wheel and to keep the equilibre just with one foot pushing on the tire ^^
I missed all the old box series from pro teams such as : Haro, dyno, GT , Mongoose and Redline series.
fit is better than all of the wallmart POS.mine has only broke once and that was a chain while i was racing at a track.
very good
So clean
@TheKoreanHoogin This are called basic tricks because they're the easiest and the most basic tricks of their sort. and the advanced are probably difficult variations of them :D
honestly, brake are a big help, but you actually NEED them for most tricks, because if you really need to you can always scuff your tire with your foot.
very nice and helpful video. but one little question: do you use aluminium-frames or steel-frames? because i have a steel-frame which is a bit heavy and it's not very easy to keep the back-wheel up and to balance it during i drive on my front-wheel. what do you can recommend me? thanks for any answer ;)
U guys are good
u might think that but lighter isn't always better, my bike weighs way too little so whenever I fork glide or anything my entire upper body has to be over my bike or else the back wheel flies up n a couple times I've fallen back n smacked my ass against the pavement, but brakes are important (though don't let them become a crutch)
Day is sic wit it
LMAO I get what you mean! it took me a month just to "Fork Glide" and around 2-3 weeks to fire hydrant although i can do it all the time, i need to practise more.
i'd say get a haro i love mine its lasted me 4 years with no problems
Agree since i ride one. Haro X3 Backtrail
Its pretty normal for a starter bike, but not the weight is important, its geometry of the bike
Ride out
i need to learn that karl kruizer!
Wow ive been learning from this
Really! the we the people must be real light. I am trying to learn flatland, but its way harder than it looks. Its just gonna take time lol
how are you now 9 years later ?
looks so fun. now only if it was easy
@n0tepad its called a freecoaster.
Yeah, like i said, it's just really heavy. And depending on your financial status lighter parts would help. also make sure your bike has a gyro and that stuff.
imma try this now
@MATHIJSIE666 well maybe he 1)is pretty stong or 2) has a light but strong frame
i think thats why
and now? have u got it? i'm triyng it for months too...but while i was trying to mccircle and letting my hand go to grab the seat, a flash came to me on how to fire hydrant...u have to let the frame roll till u feel it's the last moment u can keep turning and sustaining the bike without braking...when it's over, it's time to feather the break and push your body forward to grab the frame...hope u understand, cause my english sucks...
yes good job
@CmErC94 it depends you see GT r not really the best bikes but if you do dirt jumps i would suggest you get GTs.
For dirt track or dirt jumps i would give it an 8
for flatland or quarterpipes it would give it a 7
someone help me.
when i do the front yard, when i try to stop the tire, my foot always just goes forward with the front wheel while it turns, help pleease?
God I loved your video!!!! hey which brand of bikes is good for bmx?????
@vwhite490 Have a search for flatland "Time Machine" moves
no i dont use brakes at all when i do fwd steamrollors well... i dont have brakes lol
just lean fwd and push
