As a old school bmx'er I couldn't agree more about using flat pedals.

You can see how well dude takes care of his body, and how powerful he is on his bike. All you youngsters soak this up!💪

My little guy just had his first race at Cobb County BMX. I’ll be sure and show him this video. Thanks for the content and instruction.

Great tips and I plan to utilize them. I’m 47, so I can relate to aches and pains....

Last time I raced BMX was 1984. I've stayed with cycling off and on since racing mountain bikes and doing long distance road riding. I am very interested in getting back into BMX racing and these videos are definitely going to help. I have already been doing some sprints but have been picking up some great tips from your videos. Thanks.

If you don't start weight training when you turn one, your already behind

Kids and even older riders pay attention to this guy. Im 50 years old and been riding for many years, mtb, motocross and i have had some good stacks and broken bones, im not the best rider but i love everything about bmx racing, the one thing that has kept me riding is training, strength training, cardio eg.. Basically what he is demonstrating, and i love to deadlift and squat, its one thing i have never stopped, my technic riding bmx is still got a while to go but the fun part is learning. So you just have to look at this dude and he is built like a beast and explosive! From Australia mate thanks heaps for sharing your experience with us, its alot of help and much appreciated. 🙋🏻‍♂️

Thanks for taking the time to do these videos for us Barry. Myself and my little guy love them, theyre really helpful

I just started back up racing and these vids have been super helpful. Thanks for putting out these free training vids

Love it! Can’t wait for experienced training

Such good advice Barry! More emphasis needs to be put on time in the saddle, you can workout all you want but, riding and being on your bike is just as important if not more!

“WHAT in the world are these, I’m just jumping in the air” my kids EXACT words 😂

Loving the Mom tattoo! The only tattoo I approve of when my son gets that age 😂. Thanks for the video - so great!

I like that new year resolution 😉 So stoked to see you back Barry!

This help out a lot thx man keep up the hard work

Thanks for the tips this will improve my riding! Especially as a young one

hay barry love the Chanel i will be using this program to get my self ready for 2021 bmx my first season in 5 years and I am am 36 looking forward to next week

Thanks for the help. I’m hopefully gonna start racing soon so this really helps.

Excellent video! Great information and a very clear, concise presentation. I'm coming up on 49 and trying to get back into racing (assuming our tracks open this year) after a 35-ish year hiatus, and really appreciate the content and advice.

awesome video!! thank you!

Been digging your videos I seen you race a couple years ago in Springdale , Ark at the Red Bull pump track world Champs and the grand opening of the pump track

Hi Barry happy new year first you have a couple of beautiful ladies there. I just wanted to mention all of these training tips also apply to older riders and even parents just getting into riding with the kids it’s a great way to stay in shape at any age.And it gets those parents out on the track so they really understand what they’re asking of their kids. Thank you so much for your time.

Wow that's awesome

hay man i got your email in mine when i checked it this morning. things are great with me im still doing bunny hops on my bike and still having fun

That was probably the best vid to help me with bmx racing I’ve ever seen!!! Thx for the help!! New sub!!!

Rad story. In 2004 if my memory serves me right of the year. We were at the Virginia national. Two racing buddies and I were walking through the pits and there was this kid with a wild blonde streak pin wheel hair doo. It was Barry. Working on his bike. We stopped and chatted a minute then watched Barry crush everyone in 14x class.

I actually like that setup with that tall seat post. Curious on where to find something like that.

I grew up riding Odyssey Sharkbites which took a number on my shins lol.

What is that seat post dam long love it

That's all I do is sprints on flats when I do sprints by myself. Only time I do sprints with clips are when I'm doing them with someone. I try to do everything with flats when training at home but when at the track I run clips.

My kid just wants new wheels… j/k. Great stuff

Hopefully you'll come to midwest nationals in Rockford il....

I'm a older trained fighter that has found a new passion in mountain biking, dirt jumping and BMX. I'm looking to race for my first time when the season finally starts. Besides gym training and now sprints, what are some of the drills I should be working on to better prepare myself for racing? Thanks for making cool content.

@7:34 I hear ya Barry on these types of work outs but when you say 'everyone wants to turn expert as fast as they can' I feel like this is a common issue in BMX. I used to race for several years 9-12X but back in the early 90's. The advice I give, other that these types of workouts is, during your time as a Novice and Inter rider is the time you really need to focus on bike skills and training. Don't spend your way to expert, meaning don't buy all the new carbon parts or the Ti spoke nipples... Because when you get to Expert, after having the fastest bike at your home track, you'll notice at big races that kids have the same tricked out bikes and now the playing field is even and the only thing that separates you is bike skill and training. I've seen it time and time again when these kids get to Expert they leave the sport cuz the parents 'bought' the kids Expert class. Buying stuff is great for the manufactures but not the sport.

Question from a newb, kind of. Getting back into racing at 48, and raced as a kid. Been mountain biking since, but am curious….do I keep my finger on the brake throughout the race, like when riding MTB, or just hold the grip and move the finger to the brake as needed? Weird and dumb question, I know.

Which timing system are you using?

What kind of seat is that ?

I'm 13 trying to get in to this sport

chain fell off during training and mt feet flew off. i ended up sliding over a table top on my knees. 3 weeks heal time

Question, I’m looking for something to get exercise with. Not in a competitive racing. I see these race BMX bikes as a great tool to take riding around my neighborhood and exercising. Is that accurate? Or my better off with something else? I do have cruiser bikes and I do have other BMX bikes but I’m looking for something that if I put a lot of energy into it I can go fast and become one with the bike. Is this a good application or not? The race BMX?

Flat pedals in 1987, flat pedals in 2022 for me.

The seat post is like 2ft long,funny

You should reach out to other youtube channels to do calibrate with to grow your channel faster

Besides technique best advice I can give don't just go to easy races you know your going to do well at...so you think your fast go find where the fastest people in the World are and start riding with them if you want to get fast!!!! Lol eventually you will be rite with them...

Under 12 or novice requires flat pedals per USABMX

I was 8 years old and riding on the bmx track after hrs with only a half helmet like youre using. Cased a triple and got launched over the bars into the dirt face first, knocked the 2 top front teeth clean out and really bad gravel rash all over my face. Do NOT recommend half helmets

Well dirt can be more fun but bmx has a steeper progression but you get a ton of control out of it. Also bmx's are almost indestructable, you can get used bikes for like 700 and be high end.

WAISTED (10:15)

@8:20 Barry no one races with clips, I think they may even be illegal in ABA races. Clip-less and flats are what everyone races on. Yeah I know what you're talking about but if you're making a video for beginners about good habits then call equipment by its actual name. Clip pedals have a cage around your foot, metal or plastic/fabric. Clips were here before clip-less pedals and thats why clip-less pedals aren't called 'clips'.

@barrynobles95

Every kid in the sport of bmx knows what the term “clips” are referring too. Someone new that may have no idea will also have no idea what “clip-less” is. No one calls them “clip-less” anymore.
