the learning curve on airs is so crazy. once you get past that initial fear of both tires over the coping, the rest comes naturally

I'm a 36 yo mountain biker but I found a skatepark on a ride one day with lots of different sized quarters. Thought it looked so fun so I got a BMX off marketplace, fixed it up real nice, and headed down. After an hour I really started building skills and gaining confidence until I went too fast into a quarter, panicked, & ditched the bike... I'm determined to head back and catch some air after this vid thank you

Same here only ride mtb, I'm 38 and picking up a bmx of marketplace tomorrow lol

best help vid hands down, you explained it PERFECT, and the camera work is SPOT ON

This video is so old and so short and still the most helpful one around. I never thought about going sideways first, I always try and go straight on and 180 and it just freaks me the fuck out, but that's what every video said to do first. His sideways small rotation looked so much easier to get comfortable with

Thank you. I've never really been a skate park person but I've gotten curious how all that ramp riding works. This helps me out so I have more knowledge on how to ride. I mean,I wouldn't really be doing tricks,so that's all I need to know. All my bike doesn't have is a gyro. It wasn't really meant for skate parks. It has the capabilities though because it does have a small sprocket like freestyle bmx bikes.

This is probably the best explained. Thanks!!!

Best tutorial out there, thanks!

Awesowm video and explanation Gary thanks!

This and the Tommy D tutorial are the best for airs

this helps a ton and I'm a noob at bmx

You really helped me thx

Awesome video

I just taught myself disasters so I know somewhat how it feels to overshoot the coping and learn control. This video will help though.

every time my front tire gets over the coping I freak out.

Best part is the end 😂

Here in 2024 Getting back into BMXing ;) Thanks from the future

This is at my local park 🤘🏽

I wanted tips on waiting for your rear tire to hit but he didn't even talk about it. I have a bad habit of hopping earlier so I case often and can't go much higher than 2-3 ft above coping

Anyone swap pedal position for turning to their opposite direction that normally feel comfortable with ?

THATS MLK PARK I USED TO RIDE that PARK LIKE CRAZY!

Awsome

I really need to learn to do this better. I suck at airing.

every time I try to air a more shallow quarter like a 6 foot or something I case :(

So I'm left foot forward and air to my left about 3 ft high so I'm super good then? Haha

U know what. Im kinda scared of going over the coping. I can go straight up a quarter and do a 180 and go straight back down but not over the coping. But tomorrow.. Im gonna ride some bowl and Im gonna try to just send a 180 over the coping

My left ear thanks you

Wow I can't air out my local park cuz of the frikin quater pipes are more like dirt jumps !!!!!!

How do you get your back wheel to pop off the coping, my back wheel leaves the ground like a foot before the coping and I still go above coping

I’m convinced I’ll just never be able to do this properly, I have whips and bars down but airing a quarter a foot is like my max unless it’s a big one

I guess I need to learn how to do a 180 first.

I'm left foot forward, butdo flat ground 180's to my left, but when i'm practicing airing quarters, i go right.... am i dumb? it just feels safer and more natural.. i've been riding for about a year, and skateboarding for 12+ years. on a board riding regular(left foot in front), i 180 to my right. I feel weird.

Its never a bad idea to learn both ways but generally speaking, finding the easiest side and sticking to it at first will help you perfect it better than randomly spinning anyway and not having perfect control. Im left foot forward and spin to the right. But you do you

no videos from this channel in a year or more? Too bad, good content :/

I appreciate Gary's advice but bunnyhopping should never be part of airing a quarterpipe. Everyone needs to look up Etnies youtube channel and search for Tom Dugan's airing how-to.
