First off I'm 40 years old. I haven't rode BMX since 1989. I remember renting the movie RAD. I love these videos. I just purchased a BMX last week. I want to get back into it again. I'm a skater from the late 80's. But I think both are like peas and carrots. Just wanted to say these tips are really helpful. I know I can do most of this stuff because I did some of this as a kid. I love this dude. He's real, informative, and had humor in his videos. Great stuff. Thank you!

37 first BMX yesterday! Went out today doing a few bunny hops and ended up on my ass. I usually ride MTB but my daughter is getting in to Bmx so I figured I could cruise around with her. It’s quite a learning curve. Bmx bikes I find a lot less forgiving. I could do wheelies on my 29er, but the Bmx has such small tires that the slightest bit too far and you loop out. I was not expecting it, and my legs being so close to the ground I didn’t have time to get them down. I definitely learned from that mistake! It’s going to be an adventure for sure, but I’m looking forward to it. The content on this channel is top notch for beginners, thank you for all your hard work!

I’ve skateboarded since I was little. I got into mountain biking kinda thinking I’d eventually try BMX, but after hitting some jumps with a more stable suspension bike. As a trucker I see more skate parks than trails. I bought an old school style bike on Facebook for 100$ and I landed an air over coping today! I feel super retro like a bmx bandit lol
