Glad to hear it. Enjoy the ride.

The look back is still one of the most stylish tricks 😎😎🫶

I used to be able to do these when I was a teenager. I declare I will get them done again in my mid 50's. Cheers!

We need to get RL's sub numbers to 100k! He deserves it!

I wouldnt be complaining if that happened!

It’s funny, in the early eighties I studied “How Tows” in BMX Action Mag, and today 40 years later I look at my IPad just as excited 🤷‍♂️😎

i tried copying this from a mag too...used front brake and couldnt get it down. then a older guy from another town was passing thru mine and showed me how to do it with no brakes and a lil speed. Boom...had that baby down after that. #Rad

"BMX Plus" magazine, geez, takes me back....

My uncle was a teenager in the 80s. He recently gave me his 87 Hutch exel. I've been riding BMX for a decade. Now I'm learning 80s tricks on an 80s bike

This is so awesome. Growing up in the 80's bmx freestyle was all I tried to do and now being 47 I'm trying to get back into it. These how to's will hopefully get me back to my roots. Thanks RL you are a legend

Thanks for the love and glad to hear you enjoyed. You're still a youngin compared to me so you have no excuses! Happy to hear you enjoyed the how to

Thanks so much RL! I'm so inspired to ride again at 42 years old.

It is an absolute blast watching my childhood hero relearning / teaching the tricks that made me fall in love with him. I'm 50 now and relearning my own past favorite tricks. it's so motivational to see RL back in the saddle. RL, thanks for spending your time with us! I appreciate it immensely.

I was just talking about you to a few younger riders here at a local skate park in Ontario Canada and I recently heard that you were coming back to the sport Rob for your own enjoyment so I had to come see for myself, I nearly $Hi+ to see you riding again. I am so looking forward to your videos and seeing everything you are up to. You and Bob are the reason we rode hard and it kept us out of trouble. Nice to see you back brother!

Hey Richie that is so rad to hear and stoked to have you watching my videos. Nice to know you are still riding too! I took such a long break and now I am just getting back into it

So many olde timers still out there riding! It’s like a BMX renaissance!

i am 50 and i used to ride a Hutch Trick Star here in the 80ies in Germany. Awesome to see RL showing how to do to 80ies Tricks. The thing is that we saw most of the trick back then just in pictures. RL and Woody Itson are my Heros!

Thank you, RL! I was a HUGE BMX Action fan. Have my Mike Buff P.K. In the garage!

Just subscribed !!!

I could never quite figure out the "no brakes" part of this trick. I became proficient at the 180 bunny hop to rolling backwards to 180 slide back (sort of the last step of the rock walk). But I just couldn't figure out the sweet spot to get the rear wheel to come around without brakes. Cool to see RL demonstrate this old school trick again!

the 180 in and back slide out is one of my favorites. That's funny. 180 in is way harder for me.

@@RLOsbornBMXFreestyle maybe now it's harder for you (probably for me as well since I haven't ridden a BMX bike since 1993, only mountain). I guess I overcame my fear and found a fun trick I could master without too much negative consequences if I messed it up! Everyone probably has one or two favorite tricks in their bag. I also liked the 360 fly out jump at the local jump spots. Although many times I could only muster a 270-ish. LOL

I’m glad your back RL! So cool to see someone my age riding again. Thanks so much for the Facebook and KZread videos. Lots of fun to watch.

Holy Crap. How am I just now finding these. 47 years old and looking to get a flatland bike. Doubt I can get a saved version of my bike from way back in the day (Kuwahara Bravo). Restored are pretty pricey!!!!

awesome! i feel ya, it is hard to explain everything your body is doing in these tricks. We don't even realize sometimes what each individual actions several of our body parts are doing in conjunction when doing one trick, fun watching. Thanks again for taking the time to do these!

That's excellent. I'm going to loose some lbs.

I personally would not use pedal pressure to pivot on the back tire. Hit your brake. Pedal pressure on a freecoaster while the hub is rolling backwards will damage an internal hub part known as a clutch. The damage to the clutch will eventually cause skipping when pedaling. Skipping is when the pedal engagement doesn't catch properly and the pedaling action will only get worse because the clutch is damaged. I've been using a freecoaster for 8yrs and know this from one experience. To replace a clutch is like $30 and the freecoaster will then work properly.

So you’re running a freecoaster on this bike,GT 22”?
