Awesome mate, you've done a great job of this how to !!

[@00networker]

Danny MacAskill il agree with that danny wish this would work on a downhill track lol

[@MikelBusta]

Every single trials rider should watch this glorious video🔥♥️👌🏻

[@sammillward3743]

This guy diserves a couple of mil subs

[@sammillward3743]

Ali Clarkson it’s fine man👍

[@tharunshiv]

Up to fronts are damn scary! Still trying to perfect it! This video is sure gonna help, thanks Ali!

[@benjaminaraya1912]

8:25 the face haha

[@PeepMeRide]

Excellent tutorial Ali! My goal I set when I first started doing trials is to be able up-to-fronts! I have a long ways to go but I'm chipping away at it little by little. There is tons of info here. It will take me awhile to get through it all!

[@petersilie2432]

So, seems I'll need to become a Patreon patron of yours now. The quality of your how-tos is just perfect! Your previous video inspired me to finally tackle the dreaded kick-hops. Which I just this week have learned! After just 22 years of BMX and MTB riding ;-D.

[@craighall4675]

You have a great way of breaking the technic down, the narration and slow mo is on point, great editing. I will be watching this a few times over lol

[@jamesbirch4526]

Such a good quality tutorial!! Ali, keep these videos coming, they’re a joy to watch. I listened to your HKT podcast interview earlier at work and could relate to so much of what you said having grown up riding trials through the same eras you mentioned. It was particularly good to hear you mention the trials kings videos of old!! I remember me and my mates watching them religiously before heading out riding. Keep up the vlogs dude, I for one love them

[@kroger8507]

Love the How to series the most

[@Sii6X]

Brilliant video, watching you do this is slow motion is so helpful, i even slowed the video down even more just to watch your body positioning, thank you !!

[@mpgt]

I love that king of video, because I love praticing shit like these in random abandonned parking lot like these using old crap as an obstacle like these. Thanks for being awesome and so skilled Ali ! Will try few things tomorrow for my next session

[@djrouge3300]

Absolutely brilliant mate.

[@lukatoseus]

incredible quality of tutorials, love it, thank you so much.

[@TheCrashingDad]

watching your channel makes me want to get a trials bike...… more HOA-Terrorizing for me!... lol

[@PeepMeRide]

man I just started and it's a blast. You can do some fancy "landscaping" to appease HOA for trials.

[@alexmacdonald921]

Could never get the confidence to learn up to fronts. Was always scared that I'd just plough into the obstacle face first. Keen to learn now.

[@wonderbat9]

Another really great video Ali, by some margin these tutorials are what you do best! Apart from the actual riding of course! Thank you!

[@robertstrobel7338]

Great content as always, I have to say that I have used the fronty, no brake to get over a big log on an XC course, a rare occurrence to be sure.

[@collintan86]

Awesome Ali! I’ve waited for this so long~ finally! Thank you!!

[@bakiinuut]

Daym, bro. Balance game on point like Courage Adams. Love from Norway. You, and your videos, are a true inspiration.

[@MTBlifeinNZ]

Awesome tutorial vid!! I’ll try it with my modified dirt jump bike!!

[@Lucky_Stickman]

Great video tutorial , I'm miles away from getting to try this on anything bigger than the first tiny wall you did . Look forward to the next one

[@claudiapolster8693]

Awesome! Thanks Ali!

[@joesheehan__]

Amazing video Ali, really struggled to get to grips with this, given me the boost to get out and try again.

[@wogri]

Thank you Ali for doing these super-useful instruction videos. I profit a lot!

[@markmtbrider]

Excellent break down.

[@alimantado373]

Great great tutorial one of your best. Time for patrreon. I so stoked Ive learnt a lot from just watching and following your tutorials

[@oldrockhopper3652]

Love it, great explanation Ali!

[@hardtailparty]

great stuff as always Ali. Thank you!

[@hedf]

One of the next big moves i want to learn! Thanx Ali!

[@hedf]

@@Ali_Clarkson thnx man. A new comp bike (jitsie varial 26, from tartybikes) on its way to the netherlands. Next to my orange inspired flow+!

[@flyingpig3674]

Excellent tutorial! I wish you uploaded this tutorial a few days earlier as wheel swap was my goal for a long time and I learned it on my own. I focused on it in the last 2 sessions and mastered in 60 minutes in total on a small curb. You can see all my attempts on the video I uploaded. I found doing higher endo and leaning more over the bar to help with the roll. Approaching the obstacle at a slight angle shortens the distance that the rear wheel has to travel. Still trying to learn the nose pick from pedal up. I just can't master landing on the front wheel on low obstacles. That's probably why I struggle with sidehops to both wheels too. If you could do a tutorial on this topic it would be awesome.

[@kylestoneham6931]

Awesome tutorial, front wheel stuff didn’t really exist when I used to ride, guess it’s got to be the first thing I learn on my comeback!

[@bowden482]

Been waiting for this one I'm gonna try it today. thanks Ali

[@matthewkuhl79]

This is actually the technique i've been thinking i need to learn!

[@joshuawagner4872]

Thanks Ali, I will try it tomorrow 🚵🏻👍. Please more how tos. Ride on

[@joshuawagner4872]

Ali Clarkson thank you, have a good time in Zürich🚵🏻👍🤘

[@CashlessCaptures]

Such a cleanly produced video, I was so excited to see this on instagram because two years after hanging out with the superhero of up to fronts I still can’t do them to save my life 😂

[@slippy9916]

Oh Yeah, Physco rider aboard. I need that riser bar you got

[@tomdownes7115]

Great video. Keep them coming.

[@etiennegauvreau]

Great job Ali, super good to learn 😁

[@hemiboyrcbmxerwilliams7599]

Great video. Just sent it to a mate because I want him to get into trials.

[@mmig2116]

Thanks so much! Great info

[@kerijohnson3341]

I’m loving the intro with your logo 😁🤘🏼

Amazing work Ali. You're awesome at tutorials. I hope alot of success comes from the work you do for you and the amazing individuals you help how i mean. Sincerely,Michael Stugart

Ali thrusting his hips towards the handle is a picture I won't get out of my head soon

[@KHos73]

I think this might just be the best bike tutorial , ever!

[@KHos73]

@@Ali_Clarkson Would not mind to see more of these more trialsy type tutorials! Not sure about how others feel, we could learn so much from a skilled rider like yourself! Even the tiniest of hints might just make things click.

[@mgn567]

really good video, this helped me a lot learning this trick

[@pimsmitheartspacers]

What a great tutorial man! Loved it! How about one slowmotion shot of the technique you explain on a mountainbike? Is it a hassle for you to bring two bikes to the site you shoot these? Would be great inspiration for those who love and watch your channel but don't own a trials bike.

[@mxrider2strokebraaap54]

Awesome video!👌

[@mrkoxx]

Good stuff ali.

[@GaryWoods-stunts4life]

I love up to fronts , best move I’ve learnt,so satisfying 😍

Thank you for the tips

Thanks for all your tips! Easy to understand when we aren’t English 🙃

your how tos rock bud, keep that awesome work!

[@gorgiginyan]

Ali Thanks For Video

[@torstencx1318]

honestly I will never attempt this move! I only watch this for entertainment reasons. So, Great Job, Ali! :-)

[@00networker]

Nice job ali keep it up mate 👍

[@TheVacras]

Awesome! I will try to learn this one, probably rather hard though :P

[@gtasomogyi]

Nice tutorial! Any advice, tips for a rider with UMF Dirt Kick (16,5") frame, 26" wheels, and a 180mm Domain 302 on the front? Endo goes mostly, back hop too, just pretty hard to make wheel swap.

[@keithlong3129]

Sweet video homie

Thanx a lot boss. This will help me alot

ME: I'm gonna try this on my 29er Update - don't do this LOL I still wanna see a 20inch vs 24 vs 26 vs 27.5 vs 29er trials challenge / game of bike for the bantz

[@mpgt]

Look at Pat Smage youtube channel, a professionnal moto trial rider who began to make trial bike video few years ago, with a fatbike and a 29er Ghost Slam, he is incredible 👌

[@hanifmustafa4127]

Awesome..can you do pedal up tutorials

[@user-pr7pw6sp3u]

Thx :)

[@ultraton_com]

the best!

[@Aljonone1]

Hi Do you think it would be a good idea to learn this on a steep bank, as would be less likely to go really wrong?

[@driveshaft2323]

It was Hyper🤘🤘🤘👑

[@shakeyjake8696]

Ali..... have a tech question. I’m a older hardcore mtn bike guy getting into street/ trials. Been looking at Inspired flows/ Jitsie... etc. Any advice would greatly be appreciated. Also suggestions from you guys out there as well..... Thanx dt

Do you use an GoPro for filming or smth. professionaly

Can you please do a drop and roll tour in New Zealand 🇳🇿

If you are going to do it please go to Rangiora thank love your vid big fan.

[@DumbleDork]

I kind of want to learn hook to front

[@isaac__miller24]

I dont do trials and I dont expect to get into it I just love to watch youtubers do tutorials plus I came here because of Seth's bike hacks

[@runthomas]

most of video he is just chatting abotu how advanced it is ...JUST BLOODY GET ON WITH IT....THAT SAID...he is bloody awesome.

[@JayMisuraca]

Learning to do this on flat ground was a pretty harsh dose of what I think I'm doing vs what I'm actually doing. Suspension bikes will say "hey your body mechanics are passable maybe buy some new parts if you're having trouble." Trials is more like "Let's be honest here....also there's no shopping your way out of this sorry."

[@YanDoroshenko]

So the minimum height you would consider doing an up-to-front onto is around 2.5 times my maximum bynnyhop height. Good to know mate!

[@YanDoroshenko]

@@Ali_Clarkson I call that "opportunity for improvement".

[@oliversch7271]

And ideally your back wheel as well lols 😂👍
