[@jakeshuster6783]

dude most important helmet, Brakes, no pegs, build your own jumps

[@AirdBMX]

For sure always wear a helmet!

[@mason3vze740]

jake shuster you don’t need breaks and you can run pegs

[@soundbreakermusic]

Mason Patrick for a begginer you want them

[@josephelefante9617]

Totally true. I always wear a helmet

[@cutemodel5928]

What’s the point of not running pegs that’s dumb af

[@asherkrausse4103]

Who knew Gabe from the office could ride bmx.

[@AirdBMX]

Haha that's a new one

[@asherkrausse4103]

Aird Bmx for real tho the video is great

[@nejcjagodic691]

Is it good to start on pump track and start jumping there

[@AirdBMX]

Yeah you could use a pump track!

[@nejcjagodic691]

@@AirdBMX ok thank you

[@VariteZ]

I built my own pump track but realized I wanted to jump so I put 2 doubles into the pump track and now it’s super unique and fun!!

[@kcc4904]

And once you pick up some speed, throw in a bunny hop instead of rolling over the next bump.

[@HeyLookWhatICanDo]

Thanks for the loosening up tip. I thought that little whip or turndown was a gaudy move. Put it to work today and rode so much more confidently.

[@AirdBMX]

Heck yeah man a little movement in the jump makes it a lot more fun and a lot easier to save if it starts to go badly!

[@monkeyzeetube]

helmet please..

[@alex1231235]

Thank you for this! When I don't remember these basics, the bike always goes off on its own and things go sideways :)

[@cechichan]

One big question for me: I jump too early- when i see the lip I raise the front end then my back wheel comes off the jump earlier than the lip -as u do here too, your back wheel touches the lip ( end of jump) -how do to that? how to think about that? Almost like a manual ? can u please help me with that ;D ?

[@onerider808]

I’m gonna add a tabletop (like the one in the start of the video) to the dirt place nearby. Cool design.

[@BahmanTrialsAndTrails]

Thanks for the awesome video and great tips. Please get rid of the loud background music.

[@Dirt.carver]

Almost feels like more of an etiquette video 🤔 Any chance you could go a little more in depth about jumping techniques like feet and body positions for whips, jumping higher, turning the bars in the air etc? Great video btw 👌 definitely some great tips 🤘

[@AirdBMX]

Thanks Man! In the future for sure! I just messed up my foot so its gonna be a while before i'm riding again!

[@Dirt.carver]

@@AirdBMX Damn, I'm sorry to hear that, mate! Hope you get better and back on the bike soon 🤘

[@johnthomas2877]

Solid tips. Thanks for sharing!

[@felipenavas]

Good tips but the music is too loud!

[@pickelrick6377]

good video, but I found your background music drowned you out a fair bit.

[@AirdBMX]

Thanks!

[@derman3658]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZCmgqKegdh2Y8k Very like this, word for word I thought in spots

[@afgspecial]

1 tip is to only do jumps if you really want to and have a good feeling about it but the other tip is to do jump you are scared of kinda doesn't make sense

[@caseyjwatson]

New favorite rap video. 🎤

[@makedaevilmage]

Why is the music so loud? It's almost louder than your voice. And what is a tabletop?

[@popewagon215]

Hi I was just wondering if some of these tips could apply to riding transition at a skatepark since I dont have any dirt jumps around my area

[@AirdBMX]

Some of them for sure can, especially pumping out of the transition and making sure you stay loose!

[@Gameoflifeplayhard]

About exactly.

[@garrettboggs7114]

Hey really nice channel I just subscribed!!!! I have a channel also and I’m currently working on building my own set of jumps!!

[@AirdBMX]

Thanks man I appreciate it! Have fun building your jumps man!

[@kianrollinson7852]

build a big line these are so small u cant even learn with it u cant even pump into the landing that good

[@AirdBMX]

The line will progressively get bigger, the goal of these jumps is to teach some of my friends who have never ridden bmx before how to jump.

[@shvxksucks9495]

Pls come back

[@mason3vze740]

Just gonna say your editing is amazing

[@AirdBMX]

Thanks man! I've been putting in a lot more effort to making higher quality videos!

[@KevinVarnell]

Nice tips Aird keep up the good work. I do a lot of tips on my Channel too! the KZbin Game is tough.

[@formidablemaster436]

One thing WHERES YA HELMET

[@AirdBMX]

I always where it when I ride. I unfortunately forgot it at home when I came out to film this, but just took it pretty chill to not risk a fall

[@megustanlostacos7339]

When you go off of the jump are you supposed to pull up on the handlebars or just let the speed and the ramp do the work?

[@AirdBMX]

It's a little bit of both, to go higher you are going to pull on the bars and push with your legs

[@dev_IL666]

@@AirdBMX push with your legs how !?? And really your suppose to lift with your arms ?

[@soundbreakermusic]

Ricardo Juarez MTB Lift your back wheel up, flat pedal thing, like how you do a flat bunny hop

[@bradymarleymusic]

I skate and I want to try something easier while stil being a skater.

[@selectedgamer1478]

i cant make any friends and when i try getting firends they do not have the entres to riding jumps

[@selectedgamer1478]

intress or something

[@AirdBMX]

That definitely does make it kinda hard, but if you build jumps people will eventually be interested in coming to ride them. Or if you have a local dirt jump spot near you, go make friends with the locals who ride out there! Best of luck!

[@manwithjuice]

i just always wonder how bmx riders ride without break. Maybe they always gotta send it

[@not_a_nugget2373]

Roland Reiterer it doesn’t take too much energy if u have the right momentum

[@learningindian4825]

Best explaination

[@twitch_jjg_6234]

At my local jumps the jumps have wood in the middle does that count as a table top

[@AirdBMX]

Yeah, any jump that does have a gap in the middle would be considered a tabletop!

[@Mainroad.Manjis101]

7:32 I have this issue where I’m the best rider in the group and none of my friends want to video me when I do tricks or care if I land new stuff. Nobody in my group cares when I land a new trick because they can’t do it and it doesn’t affect them. Even when I’m at the skate park and I’ve been trying for like an hour on this certain trick none of my friends care and aren’t happy for me. Might sound somewhat narcissistic but it’s just how I see it. I’m riding and improving and none of my friends are making an effort. I met someone at the local skatepark in November last year and he’s been better to me than my friend of 4 years, friend of 2 years and friend of 1 year. I popped a rule not long ago and they all rode off to the shops. Everyone BUT my new friend who I don’t really know all that well. He walked his bmx with me like 3kms to where I was getting picked up and rode back down to the park.

[@AirdBMX]

I feel that man, not everyone has the interest in progressing their riding. Sounds like your new friend is a guy to definitely keep riding with!

[@Mainroad.Manjis101]

@@AirdBMX I have been riding with him a lot. Also been riding with my friend of 10 years who rides scooters. He’s been pushing me to do stuff I’ve been scared of and I’m feeling a lot more comfortable. We are good in different areas of riding (even though he doesn’t ride bmx much) He’s also happy for me when I land stuff, which always feels good. Thanks for the reply man!

[@AirdBMX]

Good to hear it man! Landing a new trick should always be a celebration!

[@beastyboynik1559]

Those last one were hella true

[@vicb5962]

I recently moved into a town with a small dirt track with some tabletops and it doesn’t seemed like it has been properly maintained in years, the dirt is really loose and sketchy, the jumps are torn up, and I’m a beginner and I busted pretty good today of one of the jumps, sooo I decided to get on KZbin and do some research and ask questions. I wanna say this vid was pretty helpful and why do I feel super sketchy when I go to hit a jump? I feel like I’m gonna hit it wrong and land wrong. Any tips?

[@vicb5962]

I’m planning on fixing up the jumps and putting some elbow grease into it, I also got knobby tires for my bmx cause the dirt is so loose lol

[@AirdBMX]

it's gonna feel sketchy until you get used to how the jumps feel, that's something every rider faces. Everytime you hit a new jump its gonna be different, you just have to get comfortable on them.

[@markm6434]

Thank you!

[@lobaton3187]

Yo, got any more trick or tips? My friend invited me to ride trails tomorrow and I'm the only one riding bmx

[@AirdBMX]

Just get comfortable with it before you push yourself too much. Learning to ride trails is like learning a new trick it wont come super fast. But be confident and commit to the jumps you go for and you'll get there in no time!

[@relyt2193]

where are your brakes do you have those weird back brakes? (not making fun of you if ya do back brakes are fun and easy)

[@AirdBMX]

I just straight up don't have brakes on my bike. They get in the way for tricks like Barspin and tailwhips so I don't use them.

[@relyt2193]

@@AirdBMX ohh makes sence

[@jackphillips4945]

Hey i have a cassette right now, and I've been thinking about getting a coaster. But I've heard dirt is worse with a coaster because you cant hear your speed. Any advice?

[@AirdBMX]

I think the only bad thing about having a coaster for dirt is the fact that you cant get a pedal in between jumps if you end up chasing a little bit or overjumping

[@FNBRVolts]

I’m using a mtb and it’s kinda heavy any tip to start getting more air?

[@stevemartini470]

Its mostly technique but it is harder on mtb but just explode on the hop right before your front tire hits the lip

[@FNBRVolts]

@@stevemartini470 thx I got a bmx and I can clear doubles now

Awesome what brand i got a cult

Nice video man subbed

Thanks man!

[@mason3vze740]

Also how tall are your bars?

[@AirdBMX]

Bars are 9.25 inch rise

[@mason3vze740]

Aird Bmx that’s a pretty good height I ride 8.75 with a frontload stem😂

[@AirdBMX]

Yeah, I used to run 8.75 bars on my top load, but I always felt really hunched over

[@mason3vze740]

Aird Bmx yeah I had ten inch bars but it felt weird when I jumped so I just used my old bars and plus I’m only 5,9

[@thatguy5054]

can you make a how to 180

[@AirdBMX]

I actually already have a how to 180 on my channel if you go look in my BMX how-to playlist you should find it!

[@Actualhumanlive]

And be sure to NEVER wear a helmet, kids. Helmets are for posers!

[@AirdBMX]

Lol I always wear a helmet when I'm riding, I had just forgot it when I went out to film this

[@ryansahd1]

And doing these jumps for him is like you or I brushing our teeth. He’s not pushing the limits, he’s filming. Great video.

[@nathancraddock1733]

The wallet is good

[@AirdBMX]

I love mine! It's the best wallet I've ever owned

[@samwatkinsmtb3689]

Wear a helmet!

[@AirdBMX]

I literally always do but I had forgot it at my friends house the day i had time to film this
