Title: Today's Riding: video version
Post by: the beard on January 31, 2009, 04:01:29 AM
    I was thinking about bmxfreestyler.com 's Today's Riding thread today.  For years now it's motivated me and kept me pulling for my fellow riders.  For about a year, I've taken it to the next level and shooting vids once a week to keep a record of progress, failures, and what tricks I'm doing and working on.  It has helped my riding a tremendous amount!

    As an experiment, and possibly new direction, I'd like to try to create a spot here to post practice videos.  Riders, both new and seasoned can post current videos showing what they're doing right this very day.  Readers are encouraged to give feedback, tips, kudos, whatever.  I thought this could be a great motivator to the forum if "average joe flatlander" had a place to post up and just show what they're doing, good or bad, in hopes of added motivation, self confidence, and progression.  I know there's a lot of guys working on stuff in weird spots this winter; so I look forward to seeing what ya'll are doing. Come on guys, you have a bike, shoot a vid of you riding! Not just for us, but for your own progress  -_-

I'll start. This video is from today's riding at the spot in my 'hood.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This video is new stuff I'm working on, so it's of course kind of sketchy.

This month, I learned Hang 5's! So I managed to get one Hang 5 to steam on film. I didn't want to press my luck, so I just set it down. (stoked)  Today, Karl's felt solid, my knee was cool. I got a handful of jugglers to a couple different things, and I was very stoked on that.  I'm still smack dab in the middle of the hitchiker pump. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. gulp.
cheers!

Hey Prana!!! This is Cesar from H-Town.  I will start filming tomorrow.  I think your idea is awesome.  You are really progressing, looks like your going to give me and the rest of the expert class a run for our money at VooDoo this year.  Can't wait.  I will post my new trick I'm working on.  Thanks for the motivation.  See Ya.

Let me get this straight though, you learned turbined hikers before you learned hang 5s?

Well, technically I'm still 'working' on the hikers but yes. I know. It's been an embarrassing detail for awhile now. I've finally hammered down and just learned the thing.

bamp

no vids? nothing? wow. dissapointing.
 :huh:

Last night I had a pretty good ride. I felt unusually strong for some reason. My 'bad' knee was feeling really solid and not bugging me.  much less karl kruiser mess-ups than normal (thank GAWD); I got my first clean double juggler out of the deal too :).  I'm starting to figure it out, little by little. I can't wait to ride today!
*my camera was destroyed after my original post. I'm working on getting a new one to keep doing riding journals. Watching vids of my own riding is helping me make corrections and progress must faster than without.

oh yes, after a year of crankless riding, im riding with cranks again, its completely new, and its so different, i was so happy that i could pull most of my tricks with cranks on my bike.

currently im working on landing hitchikers, riding cliffhangers ( i can come in to them now, but cant roll it), and come in and out of a wheelchair

this is most of my progression, if anyone have tips or something bring it on!!!!

Post by: katobmx on February 17, 2009, 10:59:42 PM
With your cliffs I think yourgoing to slow and your body isn't far enough forward so when when you get on the peg the bike pushes forward. I havent had much time with cliffhangers but I figured I'd start of with hang 10's

Title: Re: Today's Riding: video version
Post by: Luke on February 18, 2009, 02:35:46 AM
a couple things with both the cliffhanger and the hang ten, you need much more comitment with your left foot or inside foot on the peg. You can see that as soon as you put your left foot on the peg you start to step out of the trick, you need to hang in there for little while longer to get more control, keep your knees bent and just ride it out longer.

^Dude, how long have you been riding?  Seriously smooth and fast spinning there.  I'd say Wilhelm like speed with your turbined hitchhiker.

People, (I am talking to the ones on here that can't spin like Matt) this is another rider to keep an eye on.  Sorta have the same feeling when I saw a very young rider named Waldemar a few years ago.

tj, it was weird to me, too. when i first met/rode with the austin guys and met Jimtaro, he was busting crazy stuff left and right. then he came up to me and asked me how i do hang 5's. i was about to laugh, then fall out of my shoes. i couldn't believe it, either. nowadays, he's just rocking the smack out of his bike. no offense, Jimtaro!!

Post by: Wouter van der Linde on February 21, 2009, 11:28:19 AM
thanks man haha! but i think before you link an time machine to a inside junkyard, you better learn a single inside junkyard first..  and a inside junkyard is not a trick that you can scuff slowly, so once you turned youre body into the trick, stard scuffing very fast, thats all i know..

and take a look how Bram them does:

somewhere around 1 minute.

Great riding Luke!

here's something from today. I want to eventually get rid of the scuffing in the lardyard thing and, on the first pivot i'm trying, maybe do a double bike pivot; the one I can do already and then the one I'm trying here, and both in quick succession.

Stay tuned. :mellow:

Sagaris how old are you? Stick with what you're doing on the back wheel, because I've only seen a handful of people make the sh*t you're doing look THAT natural. I've only hit that first link you nearly hit at the beginning maybe three times in the MONTHS I've been trying it and I have no idea how people get dialed on the back wheel.  :angry:

wouter: try to hold the timemachine longer  , then take the foot after the secound spin under the pedal and the shin must be under the nose of the saddle. then you must try to hold it.

can do it 2 rounds or so...but true......very hard trick.....try again and be happy!

An old trick I went to get on film today. They just trimmed the trees around my parking lot so there is sawdust and debris everywhere. I couldn't go nearly as fast as I normally do so it looks like I'm doing this f*cking thing half asleep  :angry: Not to mention the dude bugging me from the side of the lot "HEY MAN DO THAT TRICK AGAIN IT WAS CRAZY MAN" :angry:

Even still, why would you ever tell anyone that they needed to "improve their style"? I mean, unless I'm reading into it to much it seems really rude to me.

I guess you have read to much into it if you are finding my observation of your style as rude, it wasn't mean't to be rude - you'll find a bit of constructive critism is character building once you become mature enough to take it on board . I just checked some of your other vids - nice ! you got quite a bag of tricks developing...
 
Your style will progress as you get a few more years under your belt and began to 'play' with your tricks a bit more, like I said keep workin' on it bro it will come.

BTW - Maybe think about dropping '2 flat' from your profile name ? RELAX  ^_^

Uh, I'm plenty mature to "take it". I don't need constructive criticism on my "style" and neither does anyone else, especially if they are not asking for it.

I'd like to know who you are in real life and what about who you are makes you think you have the right to tell anyone that they need to work on their "style". I've been riding for nearly 8 years, and I've "played" with my tricks plenty.

Yawn....you are clearly 'The Daddy' around here, I better get to know my place and leave.  :huh:

Your thinly disguised jabs at TJ are in really poor taste in my opinion.

Southbanktramp, you have to realize that criticism is constructive if it's got actual "constructive" comments attached to it. In your case, saying "Smooth but need to improve on you style a bit....keep at it" comes across to strangers as either "My style is better then yours, so I can judge you" or "I don't know enough about style to tell you how to improve yours, but I'm still in a position to judge you". Both are inherently condescending and tactless comments to make about someone you don't know personally. S*it, even TO someone you know it's somewhat rude. Unless you're certain how what you say may be construed by someone else, probably best to just stfu.
See? Now wasn't that "constructive"?  :P

On 2Flat/TJ's vid:  Compared to the other vids at your spot, I can totally see how different your speed was in this one... no "style improvements" necessary, but a good broom or leaf blower would be the bomb yo!  :ph34r:

Most of it is the ground that I'm riding on.. The parking lot has deteriorated a lot in the last few years, getting worse every time I go out it seems. The other part of it is that I'm just not comfortable yet on the back wheel as many others are. I'm really hard on myself when it comes to how I want my sh*t to look on the back wheel because on the front wheel, everything I do I try to do very deliberately with as little space between the tricks as possible... I'm just not at that level with back wheel yet but considering I've only played with back wheel for around... 7 or 8 months at the absolute max I think I'm doing alright. I only just learned how to scuff lard yards and stick Bs really well last summer, so all things considered I'm doing alright, although not where I'd like to be.

Thanks for the comments though :)

What's up Brant? Dude it has nothing to do with hips,it's in your knees and how you shift your weight to your feet depending on the direction your rolling in,if you roll to the right shift your weight to that angle,pushing slightly down on your foot, when you feel that you need more speed push again.and after a million times you'll start to develope the feel for what I'm saying,it's the same for Cliffhangers,crackpackers,halfhikers and prayer glides,hit me up.

the way cow does it is hard.
there are some better methods to go into them, i learned it this way:





thanks dude.............i really did create a hard way to go into it as others would say...but i just hate the regular ways others used and sometimes i may not actually be able to learn their rideins to tricks so i just come up with my own...lol ^_^ ;D :P :beer:

so...I can do the "donkey glide" sometimes for awhile, but I've only ridden out 3 times. yesterday I decided to try to do it out of a hitchiker in my opposite direction....I got in, but just barely. I was stoked to ride out of it tho. If you listen closely at the end, you can hear Chris Balles laughing about it :)

It's not quite as hard as you might think, the tricky part is hopping quickly enough and knowing when to let go of the brake. Pumping definitely helps with that.

May Wheelchair thing.wmv (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXh5TXDxgZc#)

It's a very delicate thing, but it's not difficult to do once you lock into it a few times. It's VERY VERY subtle. You barely have to lift the rear end off the ground and once you do it you let the bike do the work for you. That clip was filmed back in May but I never really did anything with the switch, I just dicked around for a few minutes to learn a decent ride out for the glide. You can see though that I barely lean at all and that it's mostly just a slight nudge to get the rear end off the ground.
Title: Re: Today's Riding: video version
Post by: jm on August 12, 2010, 11:26:27 PM
thanks TJ, I'll spend some more time with it and see if I can lock into it; with more finesse.

wanted to film the links more extensively. normally the stubble from the stick-b and for the other link exit from halfpacker to barflip but whatever, didn't have the patience today.

i just popped into my first pedal hang 5 yesterday, so i'm not really there yet but soon hopefully. major stokage! it's one of my dream tricks.

yeah and i'm also learning to pump those packer more elegantly but it seems i'm naturally more into one powerfull pump so i'll see where it goes from there. actually i still feel undecided about pumping them, they look ugly to me (the way i do them). gotta work on those well.

That's everyone when learning those, don't lock-up your body,stay loose and let your right leg dangle for balance, don't lock it out straight. once you get them, you don't even have to think about it, it's effortless. Keep goin.

Title: Re: Today's Riding: video version
Post by: 2flat2furious on September 24, 2010, 04:35:11 PM
Use your wrists less and slow your push down. Right now you're kind of "tweaking" the rear end into place and then keeping your arms too stiff once it's up there. Use your foot on the peg to "pull" the bike under you more and focus less on the push itself.

Post by: 2flat2furious on September 24, 2010, 10:52:56 PM
I always explain it as follows:

Imagine there is something out of reach and your hands are preoccupied or indisposed. The only way you can get to this item is by reaching forward with your foot and dragging it towards you. That's the feeling of popping into a hang 5. At least for me.
Title: Re: Today's Riding: video version
Post by: Ultraman Zoffy on September 25, 2010, 07:29:26 AM
As far as the hang 5 goes, it looks like Havok is shifting his weight and the bars forward at the same time... my "feeling" when I do a hang 5 is to lean forward first THEN push forward on the bars. Get comfortable with the feeling of having your head and shoulders slightly forward of the bars first before pushing the bike into position. If you can, imagine the force on the peg and what direction that force is being applied; until you lean forward, there's nothing pushing "back" on the peg to allow you to pop the back end up, which is why you feel like you can't ease the back end into position. That's why you lead with your head and shoulders first. Or, at least that's what I feel like I do.
Title: Re: Today's Riding: video version
Post by: 5hane 2.0 on September 25, 2010, 01:32:43 PM
Hang 5 pop-up :  The way I learned is forget about the seat, just ease into it the position with the seat kind of hanging back (It'll be hard to roll far because the back wheel is throwing you off but it gets you used to the balance point and kind of a confidence builder).  Then I started focusing on pushing the bars enough to bring the seat up.  This is how I've learned all my tricks so far, easing into them step by step, position by position, instead of 'popping' into them.  More of a 'ease-up' at first, the 'pop-up' will come later as I advance and gain confidence. The pop-up is easily the hardest part of learning hang 5's.

@Mark - That seatgrab to karl was sweet!

Today I had a riding buddy, Chris Newman. I got some more Round Up 6 Training and a new combination. Hitchhiker to Funky Chicken. I don't ever work on Funky Chicken but some where along the way I have figured out how to do one. I have never even tried to link with it but I got it today. Mmmmm I wonder where that will take me next. I dunno. But it should be fun!

Nice Luke!  Looks like you're mastering the techniques required to ride in that small spot!  Are you using the brakes on the stop/spin from hang 5 to whiplash or just momentum?  Either way it shows mad control.

no,no brakes it's just a whip to turbine mc'circle or whatever it's called. You really have to dig in hard to get it to turbine or at least I do.

thanks dude, it's so good to hear that...that was the original idea when I started the thread, to have a place to just share what's going on with others who are just riding. no biggie.
this is yesterday's clip. I just started working on it last night. today I want to link this or at least ride out. It's fun to play with. The music is an inside joke, I actually hate the song :)

Today I tried to do as many different links and my harder links to pull. Some of these I have only done once or twice before. They are far from dialed I am looking forward to the day they come second nature. I am very stoked on how much I was able to get done with in a couple of hours with about a 30 min break between.

It's been 6 months since I got back on the bike today, would like to have made more progress but can't have everything. Anyway here's an edit from yesterday, trying some new stuff (time machines), getting close to a simple combo I've been trying and getting close to pulling whiplashes too.

I know it is not flatland but it is hard to ride the bike at -20° C in my garage.

Shane,

Ive been riding for a long time, Ive gotten alot of people "into" riding and watched many different people progress at many different levels and paces. Ive got a younger kid riding with me now that is progressing really well, but I intend on showing him your videos. At ten months in, you are truly amazing. Opposite whiplash, to dave duster to hiker is a great line that shows awesome control.

Since I started riding with my friend, Ive tried to keep out of his mind, "Where should I be at this amount of time?" or "Ive not been riding long enough to try such and such trick." Ive told him if he likes a trick, try it. (Within reason of course, you have to crawl before you can walk) You are a perfect example of that though. I never would have guessed you were riding that short of time if I had come up on you sessioning.

Keep doing whatever it is you are doing because it is definitely working for you, and keep putting up videos so that I can keep showing them to my friend. LOL

MIKE

i say the same thing every time i see a new vid of his on the Tube.

the man has TIME. ;D
seriously i think he rides like 30-40 hrs a week.
with the kids etc. i only manage 10-15 hrs a week, which isn't even half of that.

and i worry a little too, about which trick to learn when or i should be able to do
this trick by so 7 so date.

heres a tip that helps me when my feet get ahead of me...
ride/feather the brake lightly with constant pressure, just enough to keep some resistance from the bike gettin out from under you while still letting the wheel roll. it may help with your feet getting ahead of you and goin forward over the bars. as you get more comfortable, use less and less of the brake. keeps the trick flowing smoother too over the brake on brake off brake on brake off, etc. just a thought.

RIDE ON!

Thanks dudes, I appreciate that. (Sorry, I didn't see this sooner, and I don't get emails from global so if someone quotes me or whatever I don't know unless I remember to check)  I need to fix that). 

I ride about 20-25hrs a week (I'm waay too irresponsible to have a family but just smart enough to realize it, thank god lol).  I try and really focus on the basics of things that interest me, and dial those as much I can, then slowly build off of that.  It's really interesting to me how you build a skill up and then branch off of that.  It's almost like a chess game and I'm in a race with time.  At 35 and with a tricky lower back I just don't know how long I have but I want to give it everything I got.  Thanks for watching man!

I only don't know how I should ride out, because i do hitchhiker with my right hand, and steamroller with my left hand..

ya i noticed you did that.  maybe try and just do steamrollers with your other hand until they feel pretty natural?  I have the same problem when i practice jugglers so i have to do a lot of steamrollers and halfhikers with my left hand (normally do them right-handed) feels real weird at first but gets easier with practice.

also if you can do karl kruisers you might try riding out of hitchhikers from those (like i did in my video) once you have the hang of it it's pretty easy.

Okay I watched your cliffhanger to hitchhiker again and I was looking how you did the ride out. After I have seen it, I think I will practise halfhikers better and then just ride out like that!

Thank you so much for your help!

1st attempt at edit and first week of flat
dont laugh toooo hard, gotta start somwhere, that one time i tried to pull itinto back halfpack, but didnt realease the handlebar,,,,pretty bad phail there.   
looks good.
i'm not a chic with big tits, but if i could give a small piece of advice, don't
rush yourself. instead of trying doublefooted steams, learn them one footed first.
get your basics down good before moving on to the next trick.

MACE,  Good job for your first week.  Looks like you were riding for a while as the sun went down during the session.  Dedication will lead to progression.  The "Tricks"  section on this page will give a you a nice view of the tricks from different angles so yo can study them.  I also suggest the Matt Wilhelm instructional video.  Keep it up.

By the way it looks warm where you are.  I am jealous. ^_^

no, I really don't, I'm still very much working on getting more than a handful of times.

Nice progress!  I've been learning to do these whiplashes from the opposite side, starting right foot on peg.  It's made that transition in the middle a lot easier since I'm switching to my regular foot.  It's also made it "easier" to whiplash into hang 5s.  I was hoping to learn multiple whips by the end of this month but it's been too windy to ride :(

I always wanted to post a video but I never film myself.  Here is a short warm up before the battery runs out.

Nice riding Paul!  You probably don't remember but around a year ago I was asking on another site  about how to get started and you were the first person to help me out.  Gave me a ton of great advice.  Good to see you  :beer:

Well I just learned it, but what helped me a lot was putting more emphasis on the part where you grab the seat and pull it around. In the beginning it will feel pretty scary to actually pull the whole bike from in front of you and put it in front of you while spinning seeing as you get rid of all that support. You just really have to have forward steams on lock in little circles and then treat this trick as just a way to get into those steams. Idk man hope it helps!  :beer:

Jm you're looking really smooth with that.  Its funny, when I dream about riding I only deam about doing time machines and that variation you're working on (brain farting on what it's called).  And I seriously haven't touched the back wheel in 6 months.

Maybe it is easyer if you get the bike towards your hips faster. and pushing your handlebars forward when your frame is on 50% from BW steamroller to bw halfhiker.

@ Dutchflatlander.     Well i fanyone wants to know, i have the BEST tip. Drop your tire pressure. If you are rolling front wheel tricks, drop your frpnt wheel pressure to where you can barley smush it with your hand at full strength.(keep the rear at full pressure so you will still roll ....  This will allow your bike to have a larger "footprint" .. This will aid you with stability, you can learn quicker like this and then when you have the trick figured out, you can slowly add pressure so you can carve/ transition out or into another trick....Also, when you are practicing, you may "feel"  some of the trick or "feel" comfy at one small spot on your practice track.....stay there. practice in that ONE  spot....it may have a slight incline or decline that is aiding you to nail that trick, practice it again and again in that same spot where you feeel comfy with it, then as you "feel " it, move to a random spot and try what you "felt" there.
Well those are my 2 beginner tips for today, im going to palm beach to get some footage and somepractice today.......
practice hard!!!!

Wow! Last few videos on this thread were insane! I hope I can get to that level someday.
I worked on bw jugglers today, I'm not 100% sure if this is considered a full juggle and I know it's super sketchy but I'm off to a pretty good start. My main problem was that I couldnt find the right way to set the pedals, no matter how I set them they were hitting my legs on one side or another. I chose to set them with the left pedal down and just tried to avoid hitting it with my leg when pulling it up. Hopefully with some practice I'll be able to pull em a little more smoothly.

Setting the pedals for hiker variations is often one of the trickiest parts. It makes spinning jugglers a huge pain in the ass.

I'd put a day or two into making sure the bars don't drag, and by the end of it I bet you'd have multiples.

Next time I get a chance to session I'm going to revisit my technique and try to keep those damn bars of the ground. Keeping them off the ground in a regular bw hiker is a bit easier for me because I can hold the frame off to the side a little. I was thinkin about working on hikers holding both pegs and left handed steams to work on coordination in my left hand.

Maybe you are unaware of how karma works, but you're pretty much implying that two years of health issues that have landed me in the hospital at least 10 times is something I deserve. That's pretty much the most cowardly jab I've ever heard out of anyone directed at me and you should be embarrassed that you even said it at all.

So you're saying two years of immense pain and suffering are basically what I deserve? Yes?

edit: So glad that a moderator on this site has to be reeled in by other moderators. Also glad you've managed to turn me being stoked on a link I hit on one of my first days being able to physically engage in riding my bike (something you must not do very often if you aren't familiar with the euphoria of enjoying yourself on a bike) and turn it into another game of sh*t slinging.

I stand by what I said before Tod deleted all those posts. It's good to know that even through years of being sick and at times bedridden, I can still get on my bike right after a slump and completely out ride a poser who hides behind his computer like you. You are a disgusting piece of sh*t and I cannot wait to see what "karma" has in store for you.

Last I checked you were our resident racist/sexist moderator and it was your job and responsibility to conduct yourself in a manner befitting of the role you like to flaunt so much. When you start saying dumb racist sh*t, even in ambiguity, you open yourself up to getting called out on it. When you start attacking my riding, you open yourself to getting called on it. When you straight up stalk me halfway across the country, you open yourself getting called on it.

I got sick through no fault of my own or anyone else's, and you're trying to call bullsh*t like it's somehow open for debate. There is no comparison.

Funny because I came in here to share a link I hit almost immediately following months of said illnesses and I was stoked on it because it was halfway decent. The link in itself means a lot more when taken in the context of coming off a huge hiatus because of health related issues.

How about you guys post videos of riding in this "today's riding" thread or cease posting in it?

That chirp you hear are the crickets discussing how f*cking pathetic you are to be dedicating that much time to stalking (which you're doing simply by putting this much time and effort into me) someone on the internet instead of participating the sport you so desperately wish to be viewed to be a part of.

what most likely happened was that someone was at the event and filming the contest (which  plenty of people were doing) and later sent the footage / pics to JUGGZ.  I dont see anything wrong with that.   And calling that "stalking" would be a bit of a leap

I've got a better idea, why don't the mods just cut Juggs out of the forum?

Please don't remove all trace of what he's said, again. Doing that is like a get out of jail free for someone who's said nasty hateful things.

Seriously. I started this thread as a place for people to feel ok about sharing clips of themselves riding without worrying about "haters" and stuff like that; neutral ground. Now we have one of the forum moderators running his mouth, being a complete thorn in the side of TRUST.

I'm very unhappy with this recent string of negative posts instigated by Juggs, and I guess if this type of behavior by the forum moderators continues, both the inflamatory stuff by Juggs and the lack of consequences made possible by the mods watching him, then I can't support this site any more.

I am in charge of the MARKETPLACE, no one ever told me to sit and be the punching bag of a few. I asked Karl a few weeks back to ask the MODS to do their job, they sit idle and watch attack after attack and do nothing. this is the ONLY forum I belong to where the mods let this happen. I told Karl It was the last time I would ask for them to intervene, they didn't. There's no communication between the REAL mods and me other than an occassional "hey". they seem to get joy outta watching me bite my tongue and doing nothing about the HATE I've gotten since becoming a "mod". Everyone expected me to fail from the jump because of my past, I didn't. I do my "job" in the marketplace.. running smoother than ever, I have so many pm's Thanking me for doin a good job there including from Karl and Martin. so I 'll save the Admins the trouble, you didn't ever back me when I asked you to do so.  I'll step down and be just a regular person on here, where I can openly say what I want like everyone else without any JOB being hung over my head that is done as a volunteer. Jsteady warned me about this. TJ posted in the voting poll "Im voting for Juggs so he cant Troll every thread I'm in" and then doing just that to me from then on, starting threads about me.  TJ , I will unblock you from my pm's to talk if you want to concerning the FWF trolling. 
 so appoint your new marketplace mod. and I'll just be me again. All of what I said in this can be backed by pm's.

Wow! Last few videos on this thread were insane! I hope I can get to that level someday.
I worked on bw jugglers today, I'm not 100% sure if this is considered a full juggle and I know it's super sketchy but I'm off to a pretty good start. My main problem was that I couldnt find the right way to set the pedals, no matter how I set them they were hitting my legs on one side or another. I chose to set them with the left pedal down and just tried to avoid hitting it with my leg when pulling it up. Hopefully with some practice I'll be able to pull em a little more smoothly.

Oddly enough I've always found that a heavier bar/stem combo makes pretty much all hitchhiker variations eaiser/smoother. Seems to give me some weight to use as a counter balance.

From today, trying to one-up a combo I nailed recently, not nailed it today but getting there. And sort of got a whiplash into fw steam for the first time, didn't roll it for long but it's the first time I've let go of the bars to grab the seat and not dabbed my foot. happy :)

I've been pumped on 5hane's progress since June 2010 when I started watching his vids on youtube. Until I saw his 40 day hitchhiker video I was under the impression that halfhikers and hitchhikers took atleast 6 months to a year to learn. I probably wouldnt have put all my effort into learning hikers last summer if I hadn't seen his vids. Seeing somebody learn it so fast made me really wanna get out there and go after it!

Been hibernating this winter...but when we had a 70 degree day, I had to try and get out for a while to knock some rust off. Shot this last week, but didnt have an editor to slap it together. Just used a trial version from avs4you.com(NEVER again! due to the watermark in the center screen)) to get the clutter off my computer.
Nothing crazy...just having some fun. :crash:

Thanks David... I was messing around with it in my garage 2 days ago and got the frame to whip around enough for me to step over, but now I have to figure out my body position/lean to keep the back end off the ground and get on the tire for the mccircle. I'm putting this clip on my droid for reference  :beer:
Title: Re: Today's Riding: video version
Post by: DaviD (dave0) on February 25, 2011, 10:07:45 PM
when you g turn to forwards, you should tilt your bars that they are pretty much straight, that way the momentum of the spin goes completely to the frame and you can whip it with ease

No video but a question... Front yard glide (with 2 feet on front pegs in front of the fork) or freak squeak? I don't know wich one to chose because the first one is easyer to link up but the second one is easyer to learn it seems and can be done spinning.

Title: Re: Today's Riding: video version
Post by: Wouter van der Linde on March 06, 2011, 11:39:00 AM
front yard is definitely easier then freak squeak.
both can be done spinning.
start learning the front yard.
Title: Re: Today's Riding: video version
Post by: DaviD (dave0) on March 06, 2011, 06:37:05 PM
front yard is easier, but not the 2 foot gliding version, thats what i think at least
Title: Re: Today's Riding: video version
Post by: datisstom on March 06, 2011, 07:06:53 PM
So today I went out for a couple of hours and tryed the double footed gliding version... Kinda hard to stay balanced because it's hard to not lean to one side when I ride in..
Title: Re: Today's Riding: video version

you look scared when you try it you have to relax or you might bail badly.


just remember if you fall forwards just jump over the bars and if you fall back grab the seat and spread your legs

try instead of chucking the bars forward more pushing them along with leaning forwards with your upper body.

it looks like you are too "up" with your torso.. don't know how to explain really lol

you see how he is more forward? you look like you are half sitting which in the first place feels awkward..

sort of put your hips more backwards and your upper body leaned forwards

And it is good to bend your left leg more and then pushing the handlebars forward, then the seat will keep staying at your ass.

What helped me most was to do the motion slower. Do not throw your bars forward this fast try to lift your bike slower and you will find the ballance point easier.

Here are the lyrics to Today's Riding! Notice the first letter of each sentence.

Today is a good day to go outside and ride your bike
On the occasion that watched a video and get all hyped
Delirious with ambition you feed off the energy that your receive
Analyzing what you just saw so you can achieve
Your vision that you have created inside of your mind
Solid with style and creative with your own line
Riding with inspiration gives you the edge you need
In turn gives the power to make other believe
Dialing a combination can be achieved
If you practice hard enough yeah you might have to bleed
Never giving up is key to success
Give it 100 percent your absolute best

What helped me most was to do the motion slower. Do not throw your bars forward this fast try to lift your bike slower and you will find the ballance point easier.

THIS.  gotta crawl before you walk.

nice riding everyone, and cool rap mark  :beer:

No vid but I'm so stoked about today's riding! I was getting bored and just tried a couple of mccircles. I always loved that trick but never really tried. After a couple of tries I felt a 'click' and decided to learn it.  :beer: After a few hours I was able to get in it easily and do one full rotation. I love it. ;D It's the first trick that I 'feel'...

Your riding looks smoother and smoother Mark.

I did a little edit. Still snow on the mountains but we got an awsome street and flat spot.
I finally got a Whiplash on film. If you are not interested in the rest it is at 0,40.

Post by: Jake4130 on March 16, 2011, 09:32:46 AM
OK so please read this BEFORE you watch my edit. I have to explain things a bit.

Even though I have been riding since '86, I have been off my bike for about 5 years. Add to that being 37 now and pretty out of shape cardiovascularly and muscularly and you get a guy that has pretty much lost almost every trick he could ever do. So I am starting pretty much from the beginning again.

That said, I needed a place to start. Since I won Matt Wilhelms "Ground Rules" this last Christmas from Flatland Fuel, I thought that using that DVD as a sort of check list would be a good way to get going. I could get back the basics so that I could not only work up my health and stamina, but rebuild a foundation to get back to where I was as well as progress from there.

So a few things to keep in mind:


I'm also going to start a separate thread of my progress so that the history of the above is intact for older guys considering riding again that are in my same position. Hopefully they will find it encouraging.

Anyway, enjoy!

Today I learned to carve my hang 5s and started attempting to get into bw ropes...also was nailing all my normal tricks that have just been escaping me lately.

Also hitting some fw steams to bw karl/sidesqueak ..but none in the frame

Today was a GOOD day¡

I can't do that bw riding smoothie either. I havent been able to ride into a crackpacker from a steam but I found it easier to ride out by dragging my foot on the tire, grabbing the brake and whipping the frame around so you end up in the barhop position, I'm sure it could be done w/o the brake w/ some practice.

I've pulled the steam to crackpacker a total of 5 times since 2006 so obviously I never got it dialed... but the 2 ways I rode out were scuffing out funky chicken style (totally doable without brakes but ugly as sh*t imo) and barflip out to sidesqueaks (brake highly recommended). Id like to dial it in some time, but I need to trim my intrikat bars a bit so get around them easier... too wide for my 5'7" stature to get around smoothly at the height I'm running them.lol

What's more it looks like your having a good time and that is what counts!

I don't think it's this trick that did it.  I realized it was cracked before I started doing time machines.  I think it was from decades, ass bombs and whiplashes.  I'm waiting on the rear to just snap off any day.  I won't stop riding it until it does.

Begin je weer? Forkglides doe ik inmiddels no handed hoor..

Laat eens zien dan.. we hebben nog nooit wat van je gezien....

je kan nog niet eens een steamroller of een hang 5 of weet ik veel wat en je wilt meteen een halfpacker hitchiker en weet ik veel leren.. begin bij de basis

Working on halfpackers and some other stuff today. I rolled a few hang10s for 30-40ft but I didn't get that on video. I hurt my foot doing the tailwhip thing, my foot has been messed up since January when I hurt it learning footjam decades and I keep re-injuring it. It seems like I can't have a month of riding without my knees dislocating or my foot getting hurt b ut atleast I had a good session today. Anybody have any tips for riding into a halfpacker from a barhop and riding out??

Post by: Jake4130 on April 02, 2011, 05:41:34 PM
One thing that I am sure has been mentioned a lot: on any rolling trick, the faster you roll the easier it is to hold the balance point. Of course how scary the trick is and how badly you can slam increase too, but your better off with a little more speed than your comfortable with.

MarylandFlat try the half packers with a touch more speed. If you watch your edit, notice how you are going quite a bit faster on hikers than you are half packers. I know I had to do them with more speed to get them and remembered that again now that I am relearning them.

Then again I can see why you might be intentionally going slower to save that ankle. No matter what speed you go, if you end up having to fall backwards and have to catch yourself, you could seriously jack it up worse. Still I think your better off with more speed in the long run.

Go see a doctor about that ankle though and really take the advice even if you can't ride at all for a month or two. It would bum me out if you had to quit because that ankle got permanently jacked up. I know you would be too. Take care of yourself man!

Thanks for the advice Jake. After watching the video I notced that I was rolling pretty slow, next time I am able to ride I will try them with a little more speed. Hopefully it won't take too long for my foot to heal.

So I was thinking about posting this stuff here. But I also want that you guys know what kind of rider I am. I am just a flatland beginner but I see myself as a BMX rider so here are what was my day like. We put a lot of work in rebuilding our trails. So stay tuned for footage of our bigger stuff soon.

And tomorrow I will film some of my Flatland progress and post it. Hope you enjoy this as well.

Dude on that first link instead of carving it in a counter clockwise circle at the end, carve it in a clockwise circle and pop it up into a stick-B and you have a link I made up in '93. Seriously learn it. It's a fun link.

As for the hitchhikers, try doing them with the bars backwards. At least that will save your levers a bit.

Post by: Jake4130 on April 03, 2011, 07:41:32 PM
Did a little more filming yesterday. Getting better! I can definitely tell that the tricks are getting harder, but they are also more fun.

BTW for anybody learning things like flails or decades or working on relearning them like I am, work on the upper body strength first. If you don't have it, You are not going to get those tricks.

My foot was feeling resonable today so I went out for a session after school. I was practicing wheelchair whip to elephant glide and I thought I would try to tailwhip a funky chicken. My body really had a mind of its own today. My brain was telling my right foot to go to the peg after the whip but my foot just kept going to the tire instead. I even accidently pulled the whip into this trick where you balance with both feet on the tire which I haven't done since I was twelve....Is anybody doing these whips in multiples??? If so any advice would be appreciated!

ok before you haters hate, im going to get cranks soon enough.  but yeah any tips on this trick.  If you watch my foot you notice it dosent completely pivot 360 degrees so im thinking I need to turn it more when the bike is around my back? or maybe I have to bend my knees more?  Or maybe lean in one direction more? ha easier said than done.

I can tell right now, your not leaning over the bars far enough on the whiplash. That is what mine look like when I pu$$ out and don't lean far enough. You really have to commit more and lean farther forward then you think is needed.

And this is from today. First time I've ever tried this step around thing, only took a couple hours to learn. Tomorrow I'll probably try to lean forward and start the whole Front Yard process... I'd like to glide that for a while and then slowly whip into a Halfpacker.

last night the steam turbines were at least getting more consistent, tho I still need to roll back some more I think to smooth 'em out. right now I find myself trying to pump out so I can link it, but there's a tendency to get stuck in a tight circle/spin. working on kick and no kick versions. would like to not touch the tire at all tho

Click that YouTube button where it says 'Add BBC Tags' and paste the URL in between.  That should work.

[edit] actually copy everything after the equals sign in the url.

for example - http:www.youtubecom/watch?v=smY2-R8O1vc.
you would just copy/past the part that's in bold.

Thanks man. I know what you mean, my wrist and forearm will hurt real bad also.  I take a wrist band and wrap duct tape around it tight and that helps keep my wrist secure and helps out with the pain some.  Might try something like that and see if it helps you.

And this is from today. First time I've ever tried this step around thing, only took a couple hours to learn. Tomorrow I'll probably try to lean forward and start the whole Front Yard process... I'd like to glide that for a while and then slowly whip into a Halfpacker.

Step over into Front Yard thing ([url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eh-eVM_7DM#ws[/url])


How is the font yard glide going? Very hard trick.



Ya know I worked on this today and started doing them with the bars forward instead of backwards. Seems like it's a bit easier. This trick is hard because the balance point is so so small. Basically I'm just going to keep taking shots at it. I'm still trying double footed forward steams and double footed peg wheelies to try and dial it all in.

Thanks raddad and marylandflat.  raddad I can't believe you went riding in that wind lol. That was a SUPER windy day and it didn't even seem to bother you much.  Your stuff must be getting very dialed.

Marylandflat, ya, the forward tricks do seem like you really have to commit to leaning forward more.  Backwards stuff is really hard for me though.  Im only just now starting to get the feel for bwd hang 10s.

A couple little bits from today... nailed myself good on a simple rideout too  :crash:. Getting the half-lash to steam pretty much every time now and rolling double footed steams quite comfortably, next step is to get my head around popping into a hitchiker.. any advice welcome!

Very nice! That in't a half lash though. That is just the ride in for a steam roller. Well done though. Nice and smooth.

I've always called it a half-lash. what's the proper name?
Title: Re: Today's Riding: video version
Post by: Jake4130 on May 04, 2011, 11:14:48 PM
Really the kick is just as much of the trick as the roll so it's all a steam roller. A half lash is when you are opposite footed and when the back end comes around you put your left foot on the back peg and carve a circle.

Some call the trick I just mentioned a babyface, but that is part of a lost joke. At the time riders where coming up with the goofyest names for tricks so someone decided to call it "ashtray to babyface" to poke fun at that. Either name is the same trick, but "ashtray to babyface" is meant to be a joke.

I never learned that trick. Had it wired though. Will post an edit of new progression in the next couple of days. I'm stoked!

I REALLY liked this video alot. So smooth and controlled. The no handed transitions were sick, but all of the transitions, especially into some of those unique positions were awesome. Seemed like almost zero variance in the back tire when you were putting your leg in, over, under, through, etc. on your front wheel. Making those moves when you can feather a brake is great, but the smoothness of your riding with no brakes is awesome to me.

Would really like to see more. Keep em' coming.

you have to learn to roll the "switch steam" for longer and without touching the bars (holding only the seat)  ...that will make the ride-in and ride-out a lot easier...

Very happy with the progress so far.

One thing though, I seem to drift off to the left which is mildly annoying, I feel centred and my bars are straight - weird...

That's bad ass btw  :beer: you'll get the hang of controlling the direction.  It's a practice thing that gets really easy with time.  What helped me was to try and carve the opposite direction that the bike was wanting to go.

You should also try it with the bars backwards, I find it easier because the seat is closer to my butt and it makes me lean more forward, it's what I do to practise hang 10s.

Since nobody has commented, thought I would say "nice work!" looks like you are getting those undertakers down. From recently relearning them myself, I have a tip for the ride out. It all has to do with where you look on the way out. If you look at the seat or around there when you get around, it is just natural to set it down and pick it back up for the ride out. If instead you force yourself to look for that other grip with your eyes, it feels pretty natural to grab it instead and ride out without setting it down.

It sounds weird but for some tricks it really is something as simple as what you look at.

Cool man!

Just started playing with those backwards half-hikers too. If you have any tips, that would rock. Gives me an idea though from watching your vid. probably would be good to try just throwing it into a backwards hitchhiker for now to get used to the switch and worry about the roll later?

Nice to see the Nourie stand! I might just have to pull that one back out of my bag of tricks. I put it away when it was a passe trick. Seems like nobody cares now and a cool trick is a cool trick.
Title: Re: Today's Riding: video version
Post by: Kevin G. on May 25, 2011, 10:22:31 PM
For learning backwards halfhikers, practise backwards double-footed steamrollers until you can hold it almost as long as a normal and don't pull the seat too fast to the back, or you will lose your balance, this is a mistake I did at the begining. ;D

And for backwards hitchhikers, I didn't attempt them until I learned backwards halfhikers because it seemed impossible to me. Today I've just realised that I didn't roll fast enough because I was scared of falling, so I couldn't hold it for a long time nor ride out.

Finally, I totally agree with you, I think there should not be "old school tricks" all tricks are tricks and can be cool even if the're old.

I want to mix old and new tricks together in my style of riding, imagine how cool it would be to link a bar ride to a crackpacker or to ride out of a big front wheel spin combo with a nourie stand!.


The only reason I have no back brake on my bike is because my frame is a gift from j-f because my old bike was a street bike and I've bent the frame by riding flat with it, if I had money for this, I would buy a frame with brake mounts, so I could do all the new and old school tricks.

Ok I agree this trick sucks and but I don't really consider it as a tricks because the guy is touching the ground.I don't agree that MOST pre '86 tricks are better left in the past, there were really original and amazing tricks at the time, that nobody learns anymore today.

Think about cherry pickers, surfers, bar rides, miami hoppers and handstands and all their variations. I think these tricks are as cool if not more than new school tricks.
Title: Re: Today's Riding: video version
Post by: Jake4130 on May 26, 2011, 12:04:44 AM
Yeah I believe that is Robert Peterson and even then I just didn't get it. Until Ice-Money did it and it was funny, I thought it was just stupid.

But I too think that most of the pre '86 stuff is still good and some of it better than todays tricks. A good portion of todays trick ARE pre '86 to begin with, but one thing I learned long ago, which do you think your average kid is more impressed with: a miami hopper or a hitchhiker? Which do you think is going to make that kid want to try learning flat?

Or think about this one, do you really think the average person can tell the difference between a whip lash and a tail whip? Nope.

A good trick is a good trick. If its a fun trick, its a fun trick.

Nice riding to everybody who has posted over the last few days. I've been trying to learn forward halfhikers w/o much luck. I'll try to record some attempts over the weekend so I can ask for advice. I can do them backwards pretty well but I'm not catchin on to forwards.
Title: Re: Today's Riding: video version
Post by: Kevin G. on May 26, 2011, 09:29:09 PM
I'm trying them too but as soon as I try to bring the seat back from a double footed steamroller, I loose my balance, even if I master the steamroller

Oh and and by the way, has anyone some tips for not touching the ground while riding in a steamroller or whiplash, everytime I ride in, me left foot needs to touch the ground 1 time and then I can balance them forever and ride out, it just doesn't stay in the air like it should and always touches the ground  :huh:

I used to have this same issue and to some extent I still do. First the problem is your not committing and leaning forward enough. You really do have to lean a bit farther forward than what you think or feel is needed. It is the oddest feeling like your going to lean too far and go over. If you get that lean right, that tendency to put your foot down goes away.

After you get that right the best advice I can give is to pay attention. "No $hit." right? But the only time I do that "one foot tap" now is when I am not paying attention so much to doing the ride in. If I don't pay enough attention I have a tendency to fall back to not leaning enough and here comes the skip-roller.

Hoep that helps.

Oooh yeah, I think that's what I'm doing wrong, I realize it now. Thank you I will practise it this evening if I can to go to my rain spot

And nice riding, mannie, sometimes, I think about riding street, but I like it less than flatland because it's easier to get hurt if you fall. The only things I attempt are no-footers over speed bumps or from boardwalks,manuals and rolling backwards from quarter pipes like in your video, but not often.

Well, no.

I'm trying them too but as soon as I try to bring the seat back from a double footed steamroller, I loose my balance, even if I master the steamroller

Oh and and by the way, has anyone some tips for not touching the ground while riding in a steamroller or whiplash, everytime I ride in, me left foot needs to touch the ground 1 time and then I can balance them forever and ride out, it just doesn't stay in the air like it should and always touches the ground  :huh:

you might consider punching yourself in the face every time your foot dabs on that trick, to correct it.  :P

I'd be tempted to punch myself in the face over something like that, if it kept up long enough.  ^_^

I could not pass up riding here either. I'd ride there if the spot was slanted at a 45 degree angle. That's just gorgeous!

@Kev: Nice riding man, I'd be scared sh*tless to try that grip ride. For that funky chicken tailwhip you might try using your hand on the seat to throw the frame around. I've only pulled it a few times but I scuff w/ my left foot and whip the frame the opposite way.
Title: Re: Today's Riding: video version
Post by: Kevin G. on June 29, 2011, 02:55:57 PM
Yeah, I think that I don't throw the seat hard enough for the funky chicken tailwhip. Is your left foot your natural scuffing foot or you do it opposite footed?

For Bar rides,I think that they aren't that scary once you master the bar hop and I only got hurt once while practising it: I hit my elbow on concrete and it was bleeding alot.  ;D

Title: Re: Today's Riding: video version
Post by: Kevin G. on July 04, 2011, 05:16:34 PM
Your riding is very nice.

For hang5s, you just need to lean a little bit more forward, I know you're scared of falling forward, but once you fall 1-2 times, you won't fall again. Also, you need to push the seat on your but with your palms down and your arms straight, to lock the balance point.

Also, try looking forward instead of looking at your bike, it'll give you a better balance.
Title: Re: Today's Riding: video version
Post by: bransyeah on July 04, 2011, 05:24:04 PM
You may be right kev as the two last hang5 were a bit longer because I was leaning a bit more forward. I will also try this afternoon putting my hands facing down to try to lock that position in place.

The big problem was that until yesterday I had never felt that balance position and didn't manage to lock it for too long.

Anyway I'm sure I'll post some progression soon!

Cheers!
Title: Re: Today's Riding: video version
Post by: Kevin G. on July 04, 2011, 05:30:49 PM
You'll see, i'm sure that you'll be able to hold them forever in less than 2 weeks if you learn more forward and get over the fear of falling.  ;D

I started trying double jugglers tonight. I can't even do a steam roller holding the seat with my left hand so I was suprised to find that I could actually hand the seat from left to right. I worked on them for a few hours but I just couldn't regain control of the hitchhiker to finish it. After watching the video I think I need to slow it down a little bit and try harder to pace myself. Hopefully I'll get one soon.

Really good session today. I was very inspired after watching the AM flat comp over the weekend. Just trying to practice and expand on some of the stuff I learned earlier this month. Forward halfhikers are still kicking my ass but I'm getting a little closer.

Dude MarylandFlat I love watching your edits. I always start out thinking "Here is a guy that I am pretty evenly matched with. We are working on some of the same stuff." then BAM! You throw something in I didn't see coming that is above where I am at. Love that. Thanks for sharing man!

@Jake: It really sucks to have to learn again all the tricks you had learned, I will never stop riding because of that.


@Loque: I like your style, it's different than others, because you're almost not moving, but doing hard combos anyways.  ;D

It does suck bro and I like your attitude. Hold on to that. I was the one guy out of our crew that no one ever expected to quit. I did last the second longest (Zach Sprinkle lasted longer). I made the same kind of statement as you. Be the guy that actually does it Kev! I got your back if you start slackin'!  :beer:

I couldn't film no handed peg wheelies, because my camera's memory was full.

Please, someone give me some tips for time machines.

EDIT: I've almost pulled dump trucks 2 times today, so I don't need tips anymore.

Very nice Mannie! Like the links a lot. Well done!

One thing though. You pull that brake one more time while getting into a fork glide and I will hunt you down and take your brakes off. ;) Just sayin' bro. You don't need the brake for that at all.

Keep it coming man!

 Nice megaspin GingerKid, glad to hear you are going to start filming and participating, really everyone should get there riding filmed..

For the time machine, you need to lean a little bit more forwards and to the right. For the rest, nice progression, I think that you're almost ready to try a hang 5 variation like messiah, spinning hang 5 or hang nothing.  ;D


And +1 for getting cranks, you're just limiting yourself by taking them off.

I haven't posted a 'Today's Riding' video for a while so thought I'd put one together for today. I've been working on hang 5's a lot, and can roll them pretty much every time, getting further each time.

Also been working on backwards hang nothings, rolled some for a few metres but just caught a couple of shorter ones today. I've also been trying them forwards but only getting a metre, 2 at most.

These are things I've always wanted to be able to do so super happy to be finally getting them.

I'm struggling a bit with lungspins (as you can see at the start) and have only done one with more than a few rotations a week ago.. really hit and miss. If anyone has any tips or can point out where I'm going wrong with them please chip in!

Dude, no. Please put cranks on. Most, and when I say most I mean almost everyone, will not take you riding seriously until you put them on. You've got potential, don't waste it on crankless riding please.

@Andrew: I can't really help you with lungspins, because I haven't mastered them too. But, for hang 5s, the thing that has made me able to hold it forever until my bike stops rolling, is looking straight ahead instead of looking down. It makes my balance better.

Here's a new video filmed / edited today, I made this one more from a creative standpoint than one of riding, recently bought a Canon 500D DSLR and started using Adobe Premiere after deciding iMovie was too limited and the results always sucked quality-wise. So there's not a lot of riding, but it looks nice haha..

Your color treatment and editing look real nice and moody. While sharp overall, the movement is a little blurry. If you don't like that you could try a higher shutter speed. Also did you shoot this in 24p or 29.97? I've never tried 24 and people say it looks so wonderful. I'm kinda skeptical. I like to shoot flatland in 60fps cuz the slow mo is so nice, but it eats card space.

Yeah you're right there, it is too blurry for my liking too. and it's 30fps.. I'm a little disappointed with the lack of flexibility of movie mode on the 500D, aperture and shutter speed are automatic and there's no way of changing them which isn't good.. for photos, endless possibilities, but movies, yeah, pretty much nothing. will be upgrading to a 5D mk ii as soon as possible.

the 600D / t3i is the same. very little adjustments on the film side, which is weird because the same control is available for photos. headsmash. :/

well dang, that stinks. I guess Canon never added manual control with a firmware update. Well, if you haven't heard of it, there are these dudes that created a modified firmware for cameras like the 5DmkII, 500D, and 600D called Magic Lantern. It adds all kind of awesome features but of course it's unsupported by Canon. I've never heard of anyone's cameras getting damaged, and if it was my camera i'd probably try it, but there is some risk of screwing it up. The wiki page is a little bit of a mess, but definitely check it out:

I don't know if you guys have seen it but YouTube has some new "Edit Video" feature where you can apply color filters and stuff to your imported movies. Well I tried the Image Stabilizer on this one and it looks pretty hilarious.

Somebody donate this kid some used cranks, pedals, sprocket and a chain. If you check his vid, he has obviously earned them. ;)
I still have cranks and all those sh*t :D
I don't need them!! I will use them again next year cause of the contests, but for winter it's good!
No its never good. I fact I haven't been on this site in forever but I heard someone was talking about riding crankless and had to come back. I just don't wanna see you go down that road.we have all seen it before. For a second it sounds like the cool thing to do. Some of your friends may even say its cool. But trust us. ....its not. So next time your looking at your bike. Ask your self what's missing and also. Does this really look cool?. Please stop making flatland look even gayer

This installment took a bit longer than I had hoped. Sorry, I was too busy riding! (always a good thing)

This is the latest installment of my "Getting it all back" series that documents my progress in getting back all the tricks I have lost from being off the bike for about five years.

You will notice that a lot of this stuff this time I am not riding into, out of, or both. I almost delayed the release of this edit for that reason until I could do that. However the point of this series is to document getting stuff back I used to be able to do and not necessarily new stuff. That said, these tricks were ones I either never could ride into, out of, or both or at best I was never consistent at. To me that meets the criteria for "getting it back" and anything after that is just bonus.

Enjoy!

Just spent a month at sea so no riding until yesterday, surprised at how I've not lost it in that time. Anyway, been working on a new switch from x-hand forward steam to regular backward steam, getting the hang 5's dialled (feeling pretty comfortable with those now, happy days) and trying hang nothings. I've had a couple longer ones that I didn't catch on video but I guess they were just flukes. Anyway, another arty edit with sucky riding haha

Title: Re: Today's Riding: video version
Post by: Mark McGrade on November 01, 2011, 07:34:32 PM
Thanks bud!  :beer:
Getting in is the easy part, it's getting out with no brakes....total bitch. When I had brakes I'd tap the brakes to stabilize the bike, now I just have to quickly swing it over and down it one motion.
Title: Re: Today's Riding: video version
Post by: Jake4130 on November 01, 2011, 07:52:08 PM
It's just a roparoni, not a backward roparoni, but yeah totally easy to get into. You just do a sort of bounce and pop it up and that helps. The one problem is not getting into the habit of taping your foot down during the ride in. Once you have that habit, it is a bitch to stop doing it. I still do it most of the time and I know I don't need to.

As for getting out, I have noticed that when you're ready to come out, if you tighten the circle up bit, it is very natural to "unwrap" out of even without brakes. In fact it puts you in a good position for an opposite foot peg wheelie so you can link it to something else too.

This is the latest installment of my "Getting it All Back" series (part V) that documents my progress in getting back all the tricks I have lost from being off the bike for about five years. With this installment I think I can say I am officially back!

This one closes out the tricks from Matt Wilhelm's "Ground Rules" DVD that I used to be able to do (over two-thirds of the DVD.; not bad). The next installment will be of stuff that I could do that wasn't on the DVD. After that it's all progression and learning new stuff. Enjoy!

@Maflat: Cool edit, you don't drag the bars anymore while doing backward hitchhikers! I have an idea for your barflips, i'm sure that you can do it: Try to lean a little bit more away from the bike for it to continue rolling and get into fakie or infinity roll. That would be a really nice link.

Thanks man! That's a good idea. I'll give it a try next time I ride. If I had my way I'd do that barflip into a sidesqueak everytime and just ride out from there but I've only been able to do that an hand full of times.

spent a couple hours tonight riding in roughly a 7 foot circle in my nasty garage. i had to basically pump every position a little bit to keep my speed, also trying footjam decades. here's a couple little clips from today's riding:

Nice, but why would you need to do that when you can ride at the OG!

Post by: jm on December 03, 2011, 12:01:18 AM
it's not always convenient for me to drive 30 minutes each way every time i want to ride. being able to ride in this small space is a huge time saver for spur-of-the-moment sessions when i don't have 4 or 5 hours to commit to it. :)

Ok, I understand, I've done it sometimes too. When i'm too lazy to pedal 10 minutes to my spot, I ride in the street in front of my house, or in another spot that isn't level but only 3 minutes away.

Finally landed a one handed juggler. Now I have to dial it. I did a few but didn't notice my camera turned off so I got only one on tape. It's a pain to do in this shirt, always gets in the way.

Since the weather was unusually warm today, plus no snow, I had the chance to ride on Christmas for about one hour!  Broke my chain, so I was riding without one after..

Here are a couple tricks from the session. I have been working some on turbining halfpackers, got a couple of them pulled today. Still work in progress, as flatland always seems to be..

Merry Christmas - 2011 !

My bro Shaun landed two new tricks he's been working on for a while.  excited to see him link them up into other tricks!

Hi!
Here are some of my new tricks to keep this thread alive:



Hey thanks for posting these. I'm studying that firehaul/brakeless hydrant trick and those videos show it well. It looks like you really cut in hard and low at the beginning. It would be nice to learn how to keep going to turbine steam like you do rather than just to ride-out like i can occasionally do now. Sick links otherwise!

did this combp the other day. i realy just wanted to film a fire hydrant to decade so i through in the halfhiker to make it a longer line!



Hydrant to decade is a serious combo! I'm also working on bw halfhikers. They feel pretty wild when you finally get one. Just kinda floating there watching the road roll by under your feet.
Title: Re: Today's Riding: video version
Post by: ortho on March 04, 2012, 03:36:59 AM
Sorry to hog the page but i'm really f'in stoked I was able to ride out of both a BW half hiker and hitchhiker today for the first time! Just gotta clean up the bar scraping and roll em a bit longer and stuff.

After recently trying it for the first time, I have so much respect for the ability to ride in a garage.  You've got so much control at slow speeds and such a good awareness of your surroundings.  It's really an underrated skill.

 Agree with Old Yeller, not easy riding in a garage like that.  Nice edit Luke, sick riding!  Gave me some motivation to fix my chain and get out and ride today, really the first time since christmas.  I should have filmed today and I could have posted a really rusty vid, ha!

The post is a little old though and a lot has changed on the bike. Not to mention it doesn't look quite that pretty now. lol It isn't an old school bike though. Strictly modern geometry but with a little old school flavor. Really its a custom Standard 250L with a shorter front end and a top tube platform. And its "dormant blue" but really its a purple and not a blue. Thanks though!

OMG! That was good. You got that dialed in. I was getting dizzy watching you do that megaspin. I guess you concentrate on one point and spin forever.

Not yet Kevin! Getting really close though. Missing all the hang-5 variations as well as perverted boomerang stuff like doubles, out of hops and out of a peg wheelies. A good amount of peg wheelie stuff like dump trucks,  lung spins and rope-a-ronis and a few double foot things like hitchhikers, backpackers and double foot steamrollers. Maybe another 6 months to a year and I will be there and then some I think. Learning a lot of stuff I never had on the way to the goal too!

This recent edit of the stuff from the Secret Session on 4.25.12 is mostly just clownin' around and having fun. A lot of work that day but not a lot of pulled tricks. Sometimes it's just good to have fun and not take it so seriously. It's a bit long, but some good funny too.

I only recently got two-footed steamrollers dialed, when they used to feel impossible...now I'm working on pulling into a half-hiker, and finally rode out of my first one (3rd to last clip in the video).  Also trying to learn x-footed turbine megaspins.  The 180 rollbacks are on there because it's a trick I never learned back in the day, and only recently did, LOL...they're fun.  I've been shooting video almost every session to keep track of my progress and see what I'm doing wrong...it helps.

Some new stuff from me...been riding hard lately, and finally found a way out of hitchhikers (which I just learned) that I was proud of...as you'll tell by my reaction in the video, haha.

Plus, flatland needed a video with some heavy metal in it for a change.  \m/

Here is the latest installment of my "Getting It All Back" series that documents my progression from being off the bike for about five years. This is part VII. Enjoy!

The one after this will likely be the last one and will take a while. There isn't much left on the list and what is left is the hard stuff so it may be 6 months to a year before the last edit in this series.

Finally got a bit of an edit put together for my "Getting it All Back" series. This is part VIII. Getting close to the end on these edits that document my progression for getting back the stuff I had before I quit about 7 years ago now. Been about 2 years now and almost finished. Given most of these tricks I didn't pull in and out of on this edit and with a little bit of work I probably could have gotten them in here with a ride in and out, but the point of these edits is to document me getting back to where I was at and frankly some of these trick are pretty much where I left them when I quit. Doesn't mean I wont be working on them though for sure. Enjoy!

Honestly, this whole year has been more focused on work than on riding. After about a month or two off, I got the urge again, and had a solo session that didn't get really any links pulled, but the feeling was so good that I'm still happy about it. I rode again tonight and still haven't pulled it, but I started landing on a brand new jump switch. That urge is coming back now to find a way, and do it.
