Really good straight to the point thanks for you work

[@billy_bikes]

Thanks man, I appreciate it! I put in some extra effort into this post

[@chbian98]

Love this style of video, I find your videos very informative and straight to the point as somebody who’s just getting into learning bmx at 24. Keep it up bro

[@billy_bikes]

Glad I'm able to help you learn BMX my dude! Good luck with riding and more videos to come

[@wroman77]

Much better video format! Your content and tutorials are already great. This just made it better. 👍🏼

[@billy_bikes]

Hey man thanks for the feedback! I took a break due to having my software being subscription based but I purchased a key to editing software that will arrive in a few days. I'm about to make it rain hahaha

[@asheseven]

Good stuff talking about muscle activation is interesting going to think more about it when I ride again !!!

[@billy_bikes]

Right on!

[@pagobuck]

great style on teaching

[@billy_bikes]

Thank you!

[@euliegeorge557]

Love this style of instruction, was helpful , manuals next after my first 360 haha , you know who this is , George from ig

[@billy_bikes]

Glad you enjoyed it George! Get that 360, that is going to be one of my next uploads.

[@nozi1024]

Can you record video about bunny hop to manual, and how to train it. Thank you for tutorials

[@billy_bikes]

Yes I can, soon!

[@Gecko_54]

great video, i say this style is better

[@billy_bikes]

I think so too! At first I was trying to make videos, say everything I wanted to say while doing the trick at the same time. Be on the look out for more types of video, in addition to more tutorials!

[@letsgobrody5608]

I'm not the strongest and I ride a heavy 22 inch bike. Your tips in this video and the posture video have really helped my mannys and hops. Keeping the back engaged is key. I realized I was riding around like a wet noodle with no control.

[@billy_bikes]

Glad to help! Yeah man even watch random cyclists in your area, not the road cyclists they probably are experienced at cycling. More like the random people riding by all slow, theyre not engaged at all and no bike control. Especially when they pedal its like they dont row the back back and fourth. They like hold on and pedal ever so lightly

[@nicopena6903]

Hi Billy greetings from Chile 🇨🇱 i want to know if you can do a list of exercises to do at home to have the muscles of all body active while someone gets injured(like me😅)

[@billy_bikes]

hey man, so I highly recommend strength/hypertrophy training. Its a long subject but I sell a simple strength program on my site. If you dm me on Ig I could explain further..

[@imdoodrandom]

Woah, I’m from Chile too! Are you okay now?

[@mead813]

Reps, reps, reps

[@billy_bikes]

Thank

[@billy_bikes]

Welcome!

[@juicyMoviemaking]

can you explain steering in manuals?

[@billy_bikes]

Yeee buddy I got you, I can deliver in any format really but give me a few weeks and I'll prob redo this video and a few other ones. I'm trying to come up with a steady schedule for the videos between conceptualizing and going out to make them.

[@andresgajardo9273]

Is the shorter rear end thing really important? Can I learn to manual on a longer rear end?

[@billy_bikes]

Umm its hard to say definitely yes or no, everyone is different. I had trouble learning with longer rear ends but when I started people weren't really riding shorter rears. But when I switched down to 13" manuals became easier and hopping into manuals became easier. So for me yeah dude it def helped me out big time

[@andresgajardo9273]

@@billy_bikes so would you say that a 12.75” chainstay is comfortable enough for manuals?

[@dragonslayer8812]

12.75 chain stays here....

[@billy_bikes]

13" over here

[@farizshj]

Is it better to learn balancing manual at a slower or faster speed?

[@billy_bikes]

Great question, in my opinion anytime you slow it down for learning purposes helps a lot. With grinds, manuals, hoping into rotations; it helps you focus on how to do the movements. That is how I learn, slow and add speed with repetition. It allows you to focus on the pumping in this case scenario

[@farizshj]

Thanks for the feedback. I've been practicing manuals for a year and still can't get it locked. Appreciate your content

[@Delouser69]

I can’t find my balance point man

[@billy_bikes]

watch the video again, record yourself, compare and figure out what you doing wrong son

[@Delouser69]

@@billy_bikes could I send you a clip sometime?

[@billy_bikes]

@@Delouser69 instagram.com/billybikesbmx send it to this account we'll repost it saying you learned from the video
