what's happen when my skid dominant foot is the right and the bunnyhop dominant foot is the left?

[@FOADGang]

No hard and fast rule. Just advice. You'll figure out pretty quickly which foot feels easier to start off with. Cheers!

[@tomaaaxin]

FOAD Gang thanks guys, cheers from Chile

[@ericz8982]

You know when you first ever learned to ride a bike and going forward feels weird, you can’t balance, and then you fall. Learning to flakie going to feel the same way. If you had training wheels on your bike and just road backwards for 20 min just to get comfortable then took training wheels you would be able to flaikie no problem. Only thing is you don’t have training wheels, so go out there learn to ride a bike again (except in reverse) you are going to fall, so don’t clip/strap in when you practice save yourself the pain. You got this cheers

[@RicardoLino]

You should do a basic guide of basics, like getting into pedal straps, where/how to buy fixed gear, how to ride brakeless, practice routines, etc.

[@FOADGang]

[@bobbydixon4484]

[@sneakymustard4503]

Always wear a helmet when practicing guys! Just reminding. :)

[@matthieudsm3079]

Very good video! Can you make a fish and chip's tuto?

[@youarereal777]

I’m having trouble figuring out which is my dominant foot, I skid with my right foot forward and whip it a little to the right, and feel more comfortable bunny hopping with my left foot forward. when I’m in a trackstand I have the front wheel turned to the left with my left foot forward

[@solomakos]

Reallt nice video man

[@FOADGang]

Thanks Alex!

[@cxbarryerm6972]

such a nice fixed gear man

[@FOADGang]

Thank you!

[@kakaandbeyond]

Question, what is the material of the frame? does it have to b a chrome to do like bunny humps and like basic tricks? I i cant decide to go fixie or fgfs just need it for commuting mostly. Awesome tutorial btw.

[@mattslumwormreyes]

Hardest trick I ever had to learn.

[@porsuertelatino]

I honestly thought you were born with a gift ♡

[@mattslumwormreyes]

Juan Rincón fuzzz, I wish the fixie gods blessed me with such abilities out the gate. 👐

[@porsuertelatino]

But you made it boi. Btw, consider me a fan, all the way from Colombia. Mad respect 👏

[@winreyes9334]

Ilove your bike hope someday ill have one like that :)

[@Unoriginal3]

[@joeserna5374]

Currently sitting at the park learning this trick with my fixie :) Skrrrt

[@bbb_j003l6]

How tf do I lift my back wheel up

[@kevin-lancheros]

cool video, can you make one about wheelie?

[@stevenn6722]

If you can't get out of your straps don't use them when practicing. Save yourself some pain.

[@FOADGang]

Stevie Giraffe good tip! Forgot to mention this

[@Longquark]

y u p ! After finally eating dirt trying to unclip hastily one time, I just removed mine... I figure if I can't even do it without, why give myself a crutch?

[@iron2valorant711]

but how do i turn the pedals while nose bumping?

[@oishibreadstick]

push the pedals backwards

[@eorsk]

Lol I can't into my straps

[@selfactualizer2099]

I don't have a dominant foot, I always practice both feet (in skating as well) I always ensure I'm equal on both sides, Like being goofy or regular, new skaters/cyclists are actually capable of doing both it just takes a little more focus, but allows full freedom of direction.

[@FOADGang]

That's awesome! Definitely very useful to be able to do both!

[@emilaltinger8573]

Really good advice. You know what you’re talking about. #swedish

[@ChrisFilmPresents]

Yessssss!

[@chebaskate]

[@user-dd1rl1ct5w]

와! 페이키 멋지다!

[@petspetsify]

Jackson, please! How to do the slider? So difficult to figure it out! Btw your tutorials are the best!

[@joshuaslobodnik3942]

Bro i got my fakie down and ive been trying to slider for a week still havent got it without putting my foot on the ground, hope you figured it out after 3 years lol

[@petspetsify]

@@joshuaslobodnik3942Yo, my sliders are solid now! Now it feels natural, but I was so lost in the beginning to understand the dynamics. Better fakie also helped a lot. The slider is much easier with solid fakie and proper speed. Go with the momentum, shift your weight back quickly when initiating. You can also force it by pulling the handlebars harder when initiating the slider. It is all about not loosing the momentum when sliding the rubber on the ground so more speed really helps. Putting the foot on the ground is a matter of commitment I believe. Good luck brother!

[@jiaxuanng8312]

[@anthonytino1364]

what bars are rhose

[@suzuyajuuzou5966]

I still end up leaning to the left although i try not to

[@bobbynob4492]

Anyone know what bars they are

[@jav2680]

So you could only petal backwards when your back tire is in the air, for all fixie gear bikes?

[@jav2680]

Never mind but why can’t my bike ride fakie.

[@harry-nx4ee]

1:18 what straps?

[@tobiramasenju880]

I still cant do it,i tend to lean towards the left and fall. Even if i manage to go straight i will turn left

[@luapbam1987]

whats better? cliples or straps for fixie riding

[@PinotNoir_]

i never use clipless (bcs its expensive) so i prefer straps...

[@aaronlim5643]

I can trackstand and backward circle only, I don't understand why I can not fakie straight

[@Yoshitoshi7]

Hi guys, would you recommend steel or aluminium frame for tricks?

[@FOADGang]

Steel is s little less likely to break

[@jdm3611]

Yoo what bars are those

[@turbolegend3976]

Directions unclear I bent my whole tire

[@arcticminibike4033]

Awesome tutorials! What strap brand do you recommend? You mentioned Velo City in this vid but they carry 2 or 3 brands. I've heard bad things about some brands, that some are too small, velcro doesn't hold, or they don't hold their shape on their own (stay open). Recommendations? Thx!

[@FOADGang]

Arctic Minibike hey there. Glad you enjoyed the tutorial! The brand I’m referring to is velocitybags.com

[@violetasopes]

Sigh, I’ve got a Frankenstein bike I’ve built over the years. How do I know the difference between a track bike and a freestyle bike?

[@firesurfer]

If it has brakes or is not UCI approved it's not a track bike. You can look up the regs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpuyaWOvmq16rZI kzbin.info/www/bejne/moixoYmbfaiDf7c www.uci.org/docs/default-source/equipment/clarificationguideoftheucitechnicalregulation-2018-05-02-eng_english.pdf?sfvrsn=fd56e265_92 freestyle bikes are called artistic bikes kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWnVgICpasaeabs

[@vangerlio]

So I trackstand with my left leg forward but skid with my right leg forward how which leg should I fakie with?

[@benceolah5992]

Same. Maybe just try with both legs and then decide which is better for you

[@FOADGang]

bence oláh exactly what he said. Try out both feet and you’ll figure out which is more comfortable pretty quickly

[@hugo5125]

Every time I try fakie I always turn to the left or right right away what am I doing wrong ?

[@stem27hernandezkenmartinm.72]

I dont have a dominant foot i skid in both foot
