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.

Not sure if there are dirt jumps in heaven, but I am pretty sure that if there are, they look something like this. Nice backdrop man!

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.

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.

really nice, Jake

Not the best riding, but an idea I wanted to try out:

reverse.

Thanks man!

Love the edit! lol. I always wondered about that too. Some of it really messes with you because you forget that it is going in reverse, then boom, its obvious again.

The swing is the easy part. It's nailing the pedal that is hard. Fun trick though. Fun to learn too!

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!
