How To Footjam Tailwhip (Remake)

[@490liverpool]

This vid helped a lot. I knew how to do one but he gave some good tips to do one better. Thanks man!!!

[@98mikejohn]

Wow amazing video man i love how you said what not to do also and did the slow mo thing this was extremely helpful thanks

[@XxClickMastaxX]

dude this is the best tutorial on youtube thank you soooo much

[@Benjii_Shredz]

sick man, good luck! Look forward to seeing the progress videos!

[@Benjii_Shredz]

nice! next time your frame comes all the way around just spot your pedals and jump on. Glad I could help!

[@richb7414]

3:08 nice. What I think you fail to mention and is huge start to this... You must be able to lift the back up. So, I would think a reverse bunnyhop is important to learn to make this easy. Also, hopping back in, generally your pedals are in same position you leave them so know your foot placement prior to leaving the pedals.

[@EnVyxEff3ct]

Your bike looks mad dialed bro, and thanks for the help!

[@Benjii_Shredz]

lol well I was going out every day trying super hard so that's the only reason I got it in a week... you'll get it, don't give up!

[@Benjii_Shredz]

I hear you man! I still miss my back foot all the time

[@StJimmysminority]

Loving that set up man.

[@Benjii_Shredz]

danscomp is probably the most popular, that's where I get pretty much all my parts, and they ship worldwide! no worries man!

[@Benjii_Shredz]

Thanks for the kind words man, it means a lot! cycling ftw!

[@Benjii_Shredz]

for sure, I just kinda practiced them on and off, so for a year I was just never good at them. If you practice a lot you can have them dialed pretty quickly

[@Benjii_Shredz]

ya I used to have that problem a lot too... just find your balance point so your not too far forward, or back. Try and look at the pedals when they come around!

[@Benjii_Shredz]

DC have very good tips for footjaming, and Nike 6.0 are good too!

[@Benjii_Shredz]

of course! gyros are made so you can spin the bars/bike around as many times as you want

[@lancepost]

Nice bike guys! =) and you guys both have matching bike lol

[@Benjii_Shredz]

thanks! the frame is a cult bad boy, bike check is in the description

[@Benjii_Shredz]

lol well 1 week to just land one, I but I was still horrible at them for about a year after :P dude that's sick you're way better than me!

[@Jettrap505]

This video really helped I like the step by step

[@Benjii_Shredz]

well there's lots but its all about preference. i ride a lot of cult, kink, and fit parts, but there's lots. I would watch some some other videos/ask around and find out other people favorites!

[@TheJustay77]

im 13 and i can almost do it. When the frame gets half way i kept falling this video helped alot

[@MrBirdy]

beautiful bike bro !

[@Benjii_Shredz]

Mr. Birdy thank you!

[@Benjii_Shredz]

thanks, the frame is a cult bad boy. bike check is in the description

[@Benjii_Shredz]

@biking billy congratz man!

[@swaglikeadidas4]

i can almost do it the right way now. i have always been trying the wrong way when jamming ur foot the kicking but thanks for da help dude

[@Benjii_Shredz]

@Evobboy I think you might just not be picking your back end up enough? When you hop into the footjam pretend like your gonna do a nose manual, then just kick with you back foot and bring your front foot over the top tube into the footjam position.

[@lordrevanchist]

Well done brah! Thanks for the upload!

[@Benjii_Shredz]

oh well, when you get super awesome at them you can show everyone :P

[@Benjii_Shredz]

it might seem difficult and kinda weird when your first trying, but just keep at it and it"ll get easier and easier.

[@Benjii_Shredz]

Thanks man! Glad I could help!

[@ClaudiaClement]

Nice tips! Thanks! Now I need to learn how to footjam first! Did you say one week? Amazing!!! :) ;)

[@Benjii_Shredz]

yea totaly, as long as your comfortable in them. I wear Nike 6.0s btw!

[@Benjii_Shredz]

yaaa ive never done one, but they look sick!

[@Benjii_Shredz]

Thanks! and I would recommend maybe trying to get higher over your bars. This might give you some more time to actually get a good kick before you have to footjam. I don't think I've had that problem so I can't say for sure, but I hope I could help!

[@Benjii_Shredz]

Glad I could help! do you fall off the back or front?

[@Benjii_Shredz]

@SlammerStudios well you its hard to kick and jam with the same foot, so I would suggest learning to jam with whatever foot you ride forward, and kicking with the other.

[@Benjii_Shredz]

lol it wouldn't be KZbin without trolls I guess :P Glad it helped!

[@ahighbalckguy]

the landing is tha hardest part for me :P

[@Benjii_Shredz]

it doesn't matter at all as long as you like it!

[@Benjii_Shredz]

@emildevis They bent pretty early on after buying them, but they felt great while they weren't bent. Everyone else says they last forever though so you should get them.

[@Benjii_Shredz]

@vicspyder thanks man! I order my major components (frame, Cranks, etc.) from Danscomp, and everything else I get from Hogtown which is an extreme sports store.

[@tesk1377]

Footjam Tailwhip without pegs?? Gotta watch ;3

[@Benjii_Shredz]

glad I could help!

[@Benjii_Shredz]

yea that bike should work! Well the hardest part for me was that step... which was not putting my foot down after jamming. I can't say how long it will take you cause everyone's different.

[@Benjii_Shredz]

Congratz man!

[@Zentamusic]

right it sounds epic! good tutorial btw :)

[@TheEvistus]

yo your bike looks mad

[@Benjii_Shredz]

Glad it helped!

[@codyspencer118]

Good tutorial man helpful :)

[@Benjii_Shredz]

it's worth the effort!

[@pikesherlin224]

Nice vid by the way very helpful to us squids

[@Benjii_Shredz]

what specifically is happening? Is your back tire slamming into the ground or are you just not able to kick the bike around?

[@Benjii_Shredz]

@Bmxnoob100 I have the exact same problem all the time. try rotating the bike a little bit slower so the pedal doesn't swing right past your back foot, and spot the pedal. also try jumping out of the footjam a bit earlier.

[@Benjii_Shredz]

danscomp! that's where I get all my parts from

[@Benjii_Shredz]

thanks! glad I could help!

[@bladeweiss1131]

This really helped thxs!!!

[@Benjii_Shredz]

congrats man!

[@Benjii_Shredz]

@490liverpool Ill assume you mean hopping into the footjam... follow the steps from the video, first jusr jump over your bike and kick with your back foot and land on both your feet, then try same thing but jam your foot in!

[@Benjii_Shredz]

I would honestly try and learn to hop over rather than jam first it's a bad habit to get into... But as for hopping back on all I can really say is try and spot the pedals, and practice a lot. If your tipping over too much try and kick harder so your bike goes quicker.

[@Benjii_Shredz]

it took me more like 2 days to land my first one, but its taken about a year to get to the point that I can do them consistently. What exactly are you having trouble with?

[@Benjii_Shredz]

well, you can do it however you want, it's meant to be for fun right :P The only thing is hoping into the footjam just looks a lot better, you know?

[@Thallmushrooms]

toke me a year man!!! and i finally landed 2 days ago!

[@Benjii_Shredz]

good luck learning!

[@Benjii_Shredz]

well, you basically wanna compress your knees like you about to do a bunny hop, but instead of picking the bike up with you, just lift the back up a bit and bring your foot over the top tube, practice makes perfect. Hope I could help!

[@Benjii_Shredz]

That could very possibly be the shoes you're wearing. I ride with DC shoes right now which have a very strong tip and I don't feel any pressure on my toes, but when I was wearing Fireflys with much less reinforcement in the front I would often hurt my toes...

[@Benjii_Shredz]

Ya, that was the most frustrating part of learning this trick for me... its a hard habit to shake. just try and straighten your leg a bit more like I said in the video.. good luck!

[@Benjii_Shredz]

@savagraffmovies It's a Haro conversion kit

[@3Dplaystation3]

Nice bike♥ :D

[@swagboyedy]

this gave me more info thanx

[@Benjii_Shredz]

try to time it so that when you jump out of the footjam your bike is still rotating a bit, and spot your pedals.

[@Benjii_Shredz]

not necessarily, if you run a gyro then you don't have to worry at all, if you run a straight cable then just make sure it's long enough to go all the way around. I used to do these with a straight cable btw

[@sethcrouch1295]

what I have been doing is the foot jam and then kicking my seat I get most of the way there until my rim caches the ground seeing your video do you think that I should jump off the bike first and then spin the bike ?

[@Benjii_Shredz]

+Seth Crouch well when you jump off and then jam, it defs look s a lot cooler id say... also if you land it you'll feel a lot more accomplished :)

[@sethcrouch1295]

Thanks

[@Benjii_Shredz]

sick man!

[@Benjii_Shredz]

does your foot just slip out? and you just gotta practice the balancing thing

[@MikeyKaj1]

1st love the vid and second i tryed to do a wheelie and feel off do you have any tips for a beginner

[@ribbsy237]

ive got a backbrake but no gyro. does that make it harder? please reply. nice video aswell

[@Benjii_Shredz]

can you be more specific? is you back wheel slamming into the ground?

[@JonathanGarcia-to3pi]

Nice bmx bike

[@Benjii_Shredz]

thanks! hope I helped!

[@ImSyllyxD]

i landed my first today and cycled off :)) but il practise hop ins

[@brysoncrump7342]

Thanks man but how long do I jump over the frame then jam my foot until I can do without my foot on the ground oh and would a next 20" freestyle work?

[@williamroly2012]

Nice bike 👍🏻

[@Benjii_Shredz]

+William Roly thank you!

[@andrewkarsten5268]

What kind is it?

[@Benjii_Shredz]

+Andrew Karsten Check the description ;)

[@Benjii_Shredz]

DC are the best IMO... they have a really tough tip so you barely feel it.. Osiris are good too.

[@henrythomas2384]

Really helped thanks

[@rashoooooodisop]

well detailed

[@Benjii_Shredz]

Well you can once you've already learned it, but when your learning just pick your back wheel up.

[@grabba73]

3:09 damn awesome. i gonna try it.

[@Benjii_Shredz]

I would try trying to jump a bit higher off your pedals and leaning a bit more over your bars. Try to kick as soon as you jump off and your front foot is out of the way... good luck!

[@brysoncrump7342]

Why I ask these questions is because my next freestyle BMX has a front break and the nut that holds it together impacts my toe when I jam my foot into the fork so thanks for asking my questions I'll let you know if I need any more questions

[@Benjii_Shredz]

dont give up!

[@Benjii_Shredz]

Maybe try getting a bit lower, and try to shift your weight according to where you fall over; If you fall off the back, get over the bars more, if your falling off the right side, get over the left more, and so on!

[@Benjii_Shredz]

alright, good luck!

[@georger512]

Nice bike

[@leorofek]

How much cost your bike dude? (: it's awesome !

[@A6T6E]

Hey bro!!! how I do to not do what you said of placing the right foot on the left side before I kick the bicycle???

[@Benjii_Shredz]

do you wear sk8 shoes? and do you just have really small shoes?

[@Benjii_Shredz]

don't give up!

[@TheCrispy262]

Awesome video I Hope it helps me ;)

[@Benjii_Shredz]

lol yea, I landed my first one after 2 days, I probably could've had them on lock a lot sooner if I kept practicing!
