2 wheels is the smoothest way but backwheel first looks a lot cooler.

@audiohugo1 It's cheating if you haven't already learned how to control your bike with just flats. I have no problem with clips, they're just not great for beginners is all. BMX racing is quite different, smooth tracks, lipped jumps. You don't really have to jump a jump as such, you can just roll and control using your body weight. I'm talking about bunny hopping logs, lifting the back end on tight switch backs etc etc. Remember that i'm addressing this to beginners not folk like you

@audiohugo1 Good one ,still think a helmet is a good idea ,i like my teeth .I've fallen flat on my face in a rock garden and enjoyed the luxury of using a helmet ...and keeping my teeth ..fuck ,yeah!

@McMinnManiac why are you afraid you are not abke to kiss him bitch! live and let live asshole

@DANCEGASMAN its not cheating. you have more power, less fatigue, and you can go faster for more time. if it was cheating it would not be allowed in the races. I ride flats in the skate park, i ride clips on freeride and Xc bikes. I got no problem doing big airs with my clips and when i go for no footers i just dont clip myself. i have way better control on my bike, i love them. and just so you know even the BMXers use them for racing and trust me they know jumping very well!

@NecessaryKnowledge I find it easier to ride corners and to balance even in the air with clip-less peddles. Just my opinion, the ones with adjustable screws for grip are great.

[DANCEGASMAN]

@NecessaryKnowledge Most new bikes come with a "Quill" Style pedal, the ones with a cage.These are throw backs to when MTB'ers used Toe Clips. Always upgrade these to a good "Pinned" pedal straight away. Mud won't be an issue after that. All diciplines use Clipless at a certain level (eg Pro DH and Pro XC) I was making the point that with a little more effort on the climbs you'll learn easier and quicker if your on flats. I hope i've not contradicted myself with this advice.

PS. Being clipped in is cheating, if you ride flats you have far more natural control of your bike as you have to use technique to lift and shift your bike instead of just hauling it around with your feet. FACT!!!
