I feel like almost every trick on a bmx bike you have to learn how to bail from it first before you can actually land it 👌🏼

not for me, but I am also not too worried about getting hurt because whole life has been spent on dirtbikes an BMX/skateboard, I'm a lot better at boarding however because I had one when I lived in a city longeb

I've learned foot jam tail whip, manual, rail grind and bunny hop from Alfredo. Now if I could only ride with him in person, I'd be unstoppable

Whenever I do hop manuals I’m learning that you have to kindof throw you bike foward a bit it helps you land automatically with your body position fully extended back if you throw the bike foward your pretty much already in position without to much effort

I find it's helping me trying to manual on my pegs, not only is it way easier to bail, I been getting a feel for balance. I know it's a completely different thing, but I tried over and over and over and over alternating between my pegs and the pedals. I still need to practice bailing on the pedals but standing on the pegs helps me get more comfortable balancing with the wheel up.

I'm decent at manuels lol. I find that the shoes I wear matter a lot. When have on cupsole shoes I have more balance when you pump & lock in your legs. Few days ago started practicing endo to fakie manuals, it's a lot harder but pretty much the same as regular manuals. I really want nose mannys but got smoked a few times learning how to bail

Hey Alfredo, I'm sure you probably already know, but just in case anybody else is wondering, all those odd little specks on the video are caused by dust particles finding their way onto the camera's sensor. This usually happens when swapping out lenses. It's easily solved by using compressed air to gently blast the dust off. You can buy all sorts of fancy pants camera cleaning kit like alcohol wipes, soft brushes, and squeezy air blower things but they're expensive and unnecessary when a turkey baster or small syringe will do the trick of pushing enough air to clear the dust. (DO NOT blow onto the sensor with your mouth, the water vapour in your breath will cause untold trouble) There will be an option somewhere in your camera's menu that will say something like "clean sensor manually" or something to that effect.

Yo Fredo bro You’re appreciated man you got me back on a bike after about 7 years your Strava rides inspired me to do my first ever 23 mile ride today

I can never pulled up evenly lol I always pull my bars right hand first idk why so I just instantly fall to the side

The first time I tried a manual I looked outand slammed my head on the ground exactly like you said. I thank God I was wearing a helmet. I also recommend an ass pad. Wear a helmet guys.

Think you should tell older riders to wear helmets too !! Bitch cranking - think i've seen trials riders doing it, but they are going up n down really BIG stuff and their lives kinda would depend on it lol. I need to keep practicing manuals, and probably should get a half link out of my chain to slam the rear a bit more. Struggling with really long TT and CS length bike.

Me and manuals have a love hate relationship. Somedays they come easy and other days we do absolute battle.

I think manuals are easier the taller you are. You don’t have to lift the front wheel up as high. I’m only 5’6 and I need to lift my tire up to about 10 o’clock in order to maintain balance.

I think my weight is making it a little harder. The geometry is so much different than the bikes we rode 20 years ago, it’s stupid easy to just roll straight out on my ass.

For some reason going low and too far back with my butt ruins my manuals, for me staying just behind the seat seems more effective. Weird trick, everyone's different.
