[@caseycellitti6689]

[@barrynobles95]

Casey Cellitti 😉👊🏼 thanks so much!

[@thundermidget4395]

Big fan of yours Barry.Love the how to videos.Even for a seasoned 41 year old,it keeps me fresh for when I'm struggling at the track,trails or the parks. Always got it locked on your channel.

[@hadrienmathieu5840]

Still on my (cruiser) bike at 52 years old...and still learning 😉👍🏻 Thanks Barry

[@fabiorosa4757]

being a 43 yrs old dude doing a "comeback" this video is refreshing and well explained, congrats buddy youre a legend 🤙👏👏

[@mitchellvangrieken3900]

Thanks Barry, you're a natural at coaching, you've hit all the details but not over complicating it either. I'm watching this for cycle speedway racing. I've found rolling starts at training are helping me to mentally switch from 95% effort, to that all out, 100%, technique is on autopilot mode. I learned when racing my MTB against Strava, brining the intensity is what made me fastest because the technique was already there. Thinking about lines, etc was slowing me down. Once I have that covered though I'll go back and pick apart my technique again.

[@saneuk4058]

Thank you for this video! I'm watching it now with a total of 14 races completed (started last year at 49, now 50). The video makes more sense now than it did when I first watched it a while ago. Thank you for explaining the whole start procedure. I cannot express strongly enough how important starts are! Thank you!! Oh, saw you killin' it at the Carolina Nationals this year too 👍😊

[@patrickmalone2649]

What a great video man!!! This is the best gate start video I have seen! It really made sense how you broke it down. I’m sure you just helped a whole bunch of riders. Props!!!!!

[@barrynobles95]

Patrick Malone so awesome to hear that. Thank you! I hope it spreads and reaches everyone

[@cesarromero2247]

Excellent detailed gate start vídeo I’ve racing for Intermediate for 2 years and I’ve never learned how to do the snap, I always left behind on the gate. I always thought you do a Willie on the gate, thanks for sharing this excellent knowledge.... I’ll start practicing on the track this great class. Thank so much keep up the great job and helping us to improve our riding

[@dreamgreenlawn]

Man bruh this is a great video. It is so helpful that it is unreal. Thank you for taking the time to help make the sport better. Giving us so much knowledge from a great bmxer .

[@StrellyBotha]

this is the best explanation ever

[@chadhelvey7827]

Man, your videos are so good. You were made for this. Great job.

[@jacobjames1171]

Getting a refresher.

[@brynloveday6568]

Awesome, thanks 👊🏻👊🏻

[@rgmg3257]

Thank Barry, fantastic video!

[@MOUNTAINOUS]

cool video on gate starts. we are both bmx dudes who are older. both adventure men. both with 7k subs. we both make bmx videos.....wild. i have not raced in 20 years. barely did it a few times at 28 years old. i do old school flatland mainly. street some and park some but i plan to race again next summer. getting a new bike. race specific. as i have 9 bikes but not race specific and new tech. i got a whole new racing outfit and helmet coming this week. cant wait to do it next summer. i will be studying this from time to time. wont get to do them till next summer. no tracks near me but i just want to go out and do it. dont plan on being super amazing. just want to have fun and do my best.

[@Cyro-1]

Thanks for this! My gates recently have not been. That good 😅

[@mundocaramujo6394]

Good gate start👍

[@michaelcolby4441]

Am off to the track now to try to apply these tips thanks lol am 40 and need all the help I can get lol oh ps love all your videos and glad your raceing

[@barrynobles95]

Stoked they are helping!

[@JustAnotherFangirl67]

I am in 21-30, still a tough class, but my gate is what kills me. Thank you for this, Grands is only a few weeks away and i am going for a NAG plate in cruiser, but I am lucky I have a strong second and third pedal.

[@stevenfairclough5745]

How’d it go at Grands?

[@graysonjohnsonmtb2037]

I don’t even race bmx and i still found my self watching this. Great video Barry

[@barrynobles95]

Thank you!

[@Motorsportsinjapan]

Yes it helped, thanks brother. A few important details others leave out.

[@joeygarcia-ow2uj]

Probably won’t see this but do you think these tips work for mtb dual slalom

[@barrynobles95]

Oh I’m seeing it! And yes! 100% the exact same technique

[@DavidL3998]

Thank you Barry, this video and the other beginner video are a huge help as I'm working on getting back into racing. On the subject of bike setup, is that a 46-17 gearing you're running here?

[@rt5arge]

Cool to see a local bmx trck (omsp)

[@thatracinggtbmx6453]

Im planning on starting soon to see if i wanna do competitive but dont have cleats but do have a long sleeve shirt and a full face helmet and soon will have full finger gloves but anyway can i just use my usual hightop vans?

[@danawheeler-garcia8133]

Hey Barry any clue when u posting a vid again??

[@jermainedow1481]

Any tips on getting jitters in the gate? I can practice but come race time my nerves are all over the place

[@barrynobles95]

Man it just gets easier the more you do it. Gotta just put the focus on your self in a the gate as of your alone

[@oceanworking9456]

Are you going to get back into Pro racing? Vet Pro or... ?

[@barrynobles95]

Ocean Working not on the radar at the moment. Just taking advantage of these crazy times and trying to share knowledge where I can

[@harpermx2962]

I can’t do sound I have to go by the lights my rule is look at which set of lights is closer and when u see the first light look straight and go at the same time

[@way2kool100]

Which leg/foot should be your starting position or your snap off the gate? dominant or less dominant?

[@barrynobles95]

What ever feels more natural. I’m right footed but I start and ride left foot forward. Don’t force it if it doesn’t feel natural

[@busterrock100]

What size tire are you running?

[@barrynobles95]

20x1.75

[@busterrock100]

@@barrynobles95 do you like the Tioga or Maxxis?

[@barrynobles95]

100%

[@choose6174]

Everytime I go to pull up on my foot for the second pedal I come unclipped. I switched from crank brothers to shimano to try to help but even with the shimanos tightened all the way I still come out. Is it a pedal thing or is it a technique thing? I’ve never had unclipping problems on mtb or road bike sprints

[@brynloveday6568]

Will be technique. Try adjusting cleat position. And it'll be the ankle of the foot which comes unclipped which is the problem. Keep ankles straight and drive through with them

[@who6685]

My tires call for 35-65 psi if I put 80 or 100 in it like you said is it going to pop?

[@barrynobles95]

What brand tire and how much do you weight?

[@who6685]

@@barrynobles95 around 150 and it’s a tioga power block 20 x 1.60

[@who6685]

It’s a back tire too

[@barrynobles95]

Try 80. You should be fine

[@who6685]

@@barrynobles95 thanks bro

[@colingordon5894]

"Your not going to have a problem sliding out in the turns" I really can't say that's true for me

[@chrismcp2683]

Nice

[@cruz1870]

I'm watching your videos because my dad holds my wheel and I need to learn how to bounce on the gate in bmx

[@barrynobles95]

The balance is all in your handle bars. If you start to fall left then slowly turn your bars to the left. If you start to fall right then slightly turn your bars right

[@tomfinn6579]

Nice magic trick, making that kid disappear!
