How to X-Up on BMX - BMX Tricks Tutorial

You can find best BMX tutorials in RIDERS App available for iOS and Android - riders.co/. Join the community, track the progress and share your success! In this video Pavel Terentyev gives a trick tip on how to X-Up on BMX.
It is one of the easiest tricks which you have to master before starting more advanced tricks. What you do is turn the handlebars a 180° while in the air. The X-Up is spun towards your front leg. It is helpful to start from a prep exercise. Try riding with hands crossed and definitely try executing the move while lying on the back. All of this will help you to get used to an unusual body and arms position.
Now it is time to move to a fanbox. Start from a regular straight jump while in the air stay relaxed, keep your arms and legs straight. Now try turning the wheel at least 90°, only do this at the peak of the jump. Make sure your arms turn the bars strictly in plane. Now work on increasing the handlebars turn, avoid hitting your knees with the bars, keep your legs straight all the time.

Haha that was my first air trick 😍❤

I just did this trick for the first time in years the other day, the tip of throwing it at the peak of the jump is helpful as I occasionally hit my knee when doing the trick. Thanks!

Wanting to learn this. I can always get to the 90 but never go past as I never try them. Maybe I'll give it a go at the skatepark when the weather clears up.

landed it yet?

[@JannyUK]

@@vinkofabjan I did. I can do barspins flat as my first barspin was flat but I stopped riding around 3 years ago but always think about getting back into it.

[@vinkofabjan]

@@JannyUK sad to hear that

[@JannyUK]

@@vinkofabjan yeah I guess. Get older and unfortunately things change. I still have my bmx. I think the thing that put me off riding was because my original BMX had gotten stolen. I did build another eventually but didn't ride for months and then having a full time job, going to the gym and friends started doing their own things as they got older so I barely see them anymore. I probably will get back into it but just currently unemployed and waiting to start my new job.

@@JannyUK at least you go to the gym

Honestly you don't even need to go to a ramp to do this. I just picked up my wheel and x-up
