BMX Flatland Fork Glide Tutorial

[matteonator]

Whoa! 50.000 views is niet slecht :p. Heb je trouwens mijn filmpje al gezien? Ik ben nu backwards hitchhiker aan het oefenen, maar dan met zadel in mijn hand verder rijden in de hitchhiker houding in plaats van het wiel ookal lukt het niet helemaal ,6 seconden ofzo :p is het gewoon leuk om te oefenen.

Ik upload nog wel wat filmpjes daarvan :) ik bmx nu 6 maanden, heb mijn flatland bmx 1-2 maanden. Wanneer begon jij en zijn er veel mensen bij jou in de buurt die flatlanden?

Ik hoor nog van je

[PmQable1]

should i be able to stand on my front pegs first cause i honestly cant even do that

[SJBMXFlatland]

@PmQable1 Yes practise that first

[Willymaze619]

whats the name of that song

[alinusD]

im not sure if i can do the turn... i will crash for sure...some tips for me?

[Jaquezy123]

how heavy is your bike?

[michaelthompson26]

Dude thanks so much for this video lol. it took me like a day to get this down and i used your video like 3 times..Thanks!

[fishkiller]

Thanks for this! I've been looking for a good fork glide tutorial. I've a question about the barspin you do in the end. How do you pop the front end up? Do you lift with your hands, or jerk it up with your hips? I can't seem to pop up the front tire, so I just shift my weight around, which isn't the best way to barspin.

[SJBMXFlatland]

@fishkiller I always do it with my legs between the seat. I put my weight backwards and on the same time I clamp my legs between the seat , then I make the turn of the handlebar. Hope you understand...

[fishkiller]

@SJBMXFlatland Yup, I understand. Thanks for the info. Cheers! :)

[fo0tball3031]

What is the name of this sound?

[ItsTY3]

wat bike is that it looks just like a gt performer 09 model thats my bike

[SJBMXFlatland]

@ItsTY3 It is a KHE Militant LT

[watkinsboys1]

i cant finish the ride out. like i try puttin my foot on the back peg but the other foot gets caught when the handelbars spin back with my body. I really need help.

[mccakb01]

@mikehh9 You have to start somewhere. It's not like they're teaching this so you can win a contest. As with any performance discipline, there is a certain vocabulary everyone should know, which in flatland, includes the fork glide. Chill. Cool vid - thanks for posting.

[pivotmast10]

im scared when im turning the handle bars to spin around to the front of my bike im going to fall any help?

[SJBMXFlatland]

@pivotmast10 First practise riding. Thats all.

[punkrockerdudebro]

@pivotmast10 start really slow, don't spin until you're almost completely still.

[redbull69cl]

@pivotmast10 bro,its all god just go with the flow. Feel ur bike,and if u fall oh well! good luck

[PS3Platinums]

When i spin around at the start i seem to overspin and do a 270 degree instead of a 180 degree spin but when i try to spin slower my front wheel slides out...... any tips please, thanx

[SJBMXFlatland]

@PS3Platinums ehh hard to expain. Find a way between a to fast and between a to slow turn. But when you are at 180/200 degree then you have to scuff the tire. And when you practise the fork glide, first practise riding, after that the ride in.

[smeblue]

hey do i need flatland bars to do flatland? or can i just use my normal bmx wit its original bars

[SJBMXFlatland]

@smeblue When you start you don't need a flatland handlebar.

[smeblue]

@SJBMXFlatland i dont? oh ... can u tell me wats the difference wit normal bars and flatland handlebars?

[mikehh9]

This stopped being a respected trick in 89'

[295215]

man i tried n i cut my leg, but not that much it stings though LOOL

[caca97ful]

waw....you are king in bmx

[mtmyjak79]

San Jose,CA?????

[SJBMXFlatland]

@mtmyjak79 No, SJ is Stan and Jeroen, that are we

[Vforceboy]

fork glides are A LOT harder than they look... Im brand new to bmx flat land and dirt/street. I ride using a bmx street bike. So it might be cuz im using that but i dont think it is.

[Vladimir1681]

Hey another question ¿How long did you take to do that trick? I was practicing it an entire day and I just can´t do it!

[SJBMXFlatland]

@Vladimir1681 Hehe, don't think that you can do it in no time mann. It will take some time. Most people can do it after 3 weeks almost or after 4 weeks. Just give it time and don't give up ;)

[Vladimir1681]

Awesome video!!! I want to try it on my bike but I´m afraid of falling. Do you ever fell trying this trick????

[SJBMXFlatland]

@Vladimir1681 Well I don't think you can fall hard with that trick. I never fell hard with that trick.

[077fearless]

[mtmyjak]

ive been tryin this trick for a month and i still cant get the exit. i dont know y. i wish i was as good as these kids

[SJBMXFlatland]

@mtmyjak hehe easy.. The fork glide ride out is very hard! We couldn't do it in a month too haha. Just practise and take your time. And when you do the ride out then you need enough speed and you have to do every step quick.

[SJBMXFlatland]

@mtmyjak just pull your handlebars towards your body.

[mtmyjak]

how do u lift up ur back tire?



[CudiStreetRacer]

what kind of bikes are thoes, their heaka sick! great vid

[SJBMXFlatland]

@CudiStreetRacer It are Flatland BMX bikes. From the brand KHE.

[357893]

0:10 "put your right feet on left back peg" I can do it... i only have one right foot!

[SJBMXFlatland]

@357893 haha you think you are very funny but you arent. We were 14 years there and we only had 1 hour a week english on school. So you have to be happy that we did this tutorial in english, if it was in Dutch then you was never able to do the fork glide so fast as now!

Ride on

[357893]

@SJBMXFlatland dont cry mate it was a joke. haha! you need to get laid dude.

[SJBMXFlatland]

@357893 Hehe okay!

[stuntdude188]

[SJBMXFlatland]

@stuntdude188 Just a beat from youtube!

[stuntdude188]

[SJBMXFlatland]

[stuntdude188]

@SJBMXFlatland nice! thanks so much :)

[GoldenFist14]

wow that is soo goood ^^

[StonerFB]

im of the oppinion that the this is a very good tutorial, because it is very easy to understand, either for me^^

ps: what is the name of this song?

and, i am from austria and just 15 years old, so may be that my english is not so good

[SJBMXFlatland]

@StonerFB its just a beat i don't know the name. Download it with a youtube converter!

[STRIMIXRapz]

yo gozer, ik krijg ook een bmx binnenkort, Een (Hoffman Condor purple) ik wil ook tricks leren enzo, ik heb een aantal filmpjes gezien voor de basis dingen enzo maar wat je daar doet is echt vet!

heb tips hoe ik moet starten als bmxer? wat kan ik eerst het beste leren en wat daarna?

Bedankt alvast yo!

[SJBMXFlatland]

@STRIMIXRapz Eey, ik zou beginnen met een trackstand. (kijk op youtube wat dat is), als je daarbij je balance hebt gevonden kan je door naar de volgende truck. Bijvoorbeeld de truck 'Fork Glide' van het filmpje hierboven. Je kan natuurlijk tussendoor ook nog een barspin leren. Ook de tailwhip kan je gaan oefenen.

Dus:

Trackstand

Barspin

fork glide

tailwhip

Als je tips nodig hebt vraag me gewoon.

[STRIMIXRapz]

@SJBMXFlatland K bedankt man ;)

[seanlee1987]

whats the name of the soundtrack? is that a artists song?

[MagnusMQller]

@sambo700 Yes you can, just did it on a GT slammer on my 2nd try :)

[ialproductions1]

ok im 12 and i cant get this trick at all get this trick i have tried and tried and tried i cant get it i can turn and then i cant balance and i have great balance but i cant keep goin i just cant plz help

[SJBMXFlatland]

@ialproductions1 Pump up your tires very hard, then you will ride longer and harder, scuff the tire good that are the only tips I can give you.

[romeobueno]

Goeie man :D

Hoelang doen jullie al aan flatland?

Ik doe nu ongeveer 3 jaar freestyle en ik ook flatland gaan doen maar moet ff sparen voor nieuwe.

[SJBMXFlatland]

@romeobueno Ik deed het daar niet lang, maar nu doe ik het anderhalf jaar

[btkw]

[MrRazorzzz]

@SJBMXFlatland ok thank yu very much !!

[BaconJuggling]

im gettin a bmx in a few days how long will this take to learn?

[SJBMXFlatland]

@BaconJuggling I dont know, i think you can do it in 4 weeks

[KillingMitchell]

Very nice tutorial, how long did it take you to learn this?

[redshorts2]

Hey i just stumbled across flatlanding on youtube. Great video man!! Do you have any tricks on how to find your balance point? Sometimes i get lucky but i cant seem to find the balance point.

[SJBMXFlatland]

@redshorts2 have enough speed and practise a lot!

[redshorts2]

@SJBMXFlatland Alright thanks man

[ikechun14]

okay cool i got the balance and turn dude am so fucking happy i can do it for a block if i wanted too :D i fucking love u now tips on landing?

[SJBMXFlatland]

@ikechun14 Hehe thanks!

For the ride out:

Ride with speed

Make sure you are in balance when you jump with your right foot on the other peg.

If you have your right foot on the other peg (See the video what peg it is) Just ride it a few times in that position, so then you have your balance with your right foot on the peg.

Then you only have to put your left foot on the right back peg. So if you have your feet in that position just ride it a vew times.

Then you have balans, follow then te steps

[ikechun14]

@SJBMXFlatland okay thanks :)

[ikechun14]

does ur seat have to be high?

[SJBMXFlatland]

@ikechun14 no, that doesn't matter

[ikechun14]

do we brakes or can we not use em i like the way it feels with no breaks

[SJBMXFlatland]

@ikechun14 You don't have to use brakes

[ikechun14]

@SJBMXFlatland sweet thanks so when u do the turn u just let the bike do what it need to then u find ur balance and scuff the wheel right? i tihnk i almost got this but i can get the fork glide to long after i lose balance

[stuntdude188]

do you need a gyro to do this trick

[SJBMXFlatland]

@stuntdude188 No, you don't have to use one of your brakes

[stuntdude188]

@SJBMXFlatland thanks

[SJBMXFlatland]

@ikechun14 allright

[ikechun14]

i need a tip on the turn at begining when i turn my bike falls with me and smashes my nuts

[SJBMXFlatland]

@ikechun14 can you already ride the fork glide with balance without the turn?

[ikechun14]

@SJBMXFlatland no but thats a good tip to know okay so ill practice the fork glide then thanks ill let u know when i can balance

[TheDarkTeddyBear]

I dont know why, but i am finding my bmx bigger then yours?

[SJBMXFlatland]

@TheDarkTeddyBear Yeah, that's possible, do you have a flatland bike? I have not a very long frame (around 18.5 inch)

[MrRazorzzz]

im learning this with my right foot on my right front peg and my left foot on my right back peg can i do the ride out when im doing it like this ?

[SJBMXFlatland]

@MrRazorzzz He, that's possible but when you want to do the ride out jump then with your left foot on the right front peg and then with your right foot on the back peg, then you have to switch your hands on your handlebars and ride out

[MrRazorzzz]

@SJBMXFlatland oh ok thanks allot !

[LeonvanDelden]

awesome thanks ;)

[DogFather251]

when i turned my handlebars the fuckin handle bars hit me in the fuckin cock

[SJBMXFlatland]

@DogFather251 pull the bike away from you and go AROUND your handlebars

[XBlindDeafMuteX]

@DogFather251 Nice use of "fuck."

[XBlindDeafMuteX]

Help more with the exit!!

[turkspartan]

[FlatGar]

[dragonslyaer]

man i almost got this tirck its much harder than it looks

[omfgredbull]

i need hlp...... i loose my ballance on the spin=[[

[omfgredbull]

i love the last think u got a vid on it???

[1mike102]

i can do that thax to you but how do i keep the bike from turning?

[XBlindDeafMuteX]

Every time I try this my back tire always gets off the ground.

Any tips??

[das0wal]

@XBlindDeafMuteX

you must lean forward to the bars with your hip... and practice, practice & practice! not just 2 times in a row...

outherwise if your back tire gets of the ground it the next step to trix like mc circle!

ride on!

[IanOrigami]

@XBlindDeafMuteX well that is called a backward steamroller, so you got that trick down O.o

[KungfuPanda628]

thanks for the tut now i can do the fork glide pretty well

[westcoast24451]

hey i need some help.

i cant find my balance every time i lean to the left or right

[Ch3wy02]

ive got a new bmx and i took the front brake off so i can atlest 3 360s before the back brake will get caught is it still possible to do the fork glide?

[MrHdizzy]

1:32 SICK YO

[yougook]

nice.

[chitanaxs]

la wea fome,,,

[martinjacksonbbd]

How long before u mastered it? good shit btw

[Stanran]

Nice job. I wish i could spin myself around the bars though... I put my body weight over the bar when spinning and do it fast, like i'm told to by some Bmx'ers i met, but i still fail. -_-... Can you do a full tutorial on how to do a bunny hop, explaining how you got your whole bike off the ground also, please?.. Thanks if you do make it. :/

[xxterminatorxx44]

its foot not feet

[SJBMXFlatland]

thanks 4 the tip

[Trickzta1413]

Hey, an important thing you should've added for the ride out part. Make sure after you switch your feet, you go AROUND the bars and put your left foot on the back peg. Too often people try to stretch it underneath.

And while going around, you should lean the bike down towards the ground to counter balance yourself on the other side.

[HiddenBlade367]

um are bmx bikes different than normal bikes cause my brake wires get in the way of turning my handlebars 180

[13jobinbs13]

yes...bmx bikes are completely different......bmx are smaller, lighter, and the handlebars can spin with no limit (continuous 360s)

[emilokru]

HOW DO YOU TURN YOUR HANDLE BARS???

[SJBMXFlatland]

you have to pull the bike away from you, you also can look to some barspin tutorials

[emilokru]

oh thanks
