It's great to have good quality bmx tutorials on YouTube again. I'd love to see some more advanced tutorials, like turndowns or tables or something!

I can fakie like no ones business. It's getting out of the fakie I've been working on for 8 months. I just realized the other day you need LOTS of pedal pressure. People make it look so easy I thought they were hardly trying. This helped me a lot.

[Cavey]

Love these tutorials. I'd love some help with 180's if you could. Much love from the UK 🇬🇧

Appreciate the effort you put into these tutes. Recently picked up a 24" cruiser and been trying to get some tricks back from my youth, and your vids are bang on. Cheers!

You are a fakie boss, Mike. May take a few sessions lol! Or it may literally take years. And the whole time I was making the same two mistakes. Not releasing my forward foot pressure soon enough, and starting backwards with a slight lean. Once I fixed that it came fairly easy. I found a ramp to be much easier to learn on than from an endo.

This is definitely something I’m trying… thanks for the step by step!!! I’m mainly using curb. Already I know my weight is to forward when starting backward.. lol.. I’m able to get to 45 degree and sometimes almost come to complete stop and barely power through… I’m using a free coaster so I need figure out what feet position I should get myself into to finish my turnout… thanks again.

Awesome tutorial videos guys, I really like how you break down the tricks like no other tutorials. Your bunnyhop video helped me unlock extra height and a lot more consistency. It would be great if you could do a 180 and also ledge/rail grind tutorial!

[FailureManiac]

Just ordered a Kink Switch from my LBS and I’m currently watching every bmx video you guys got! 😅 Brand new at the age of 31, never too old to learn some cool stuff! Any helmet recommendations?

[fizzyfish-kq]

Hey Mike! Your hang nothings are dope af. Help a brother out and show us how it is done. Popping into it is so hard to learn. Any tips?

[jspider]

Appropriately timed video for me. I'm super stuck on trying to get out of the fakie but will try your tips. My record fakie length is only 6 ft haha

[jaywolff]

I just learned how to fakie a month ago, but I can still only fakie out of a quarter or bank. Bonking the front wheel on a wall or curb to shift your momentum backwards makes this trick much more difficult IMO. Going to work on that part. Also currently working on learning 180s. Would greatly appreciate a how to 180 video. I'm working on 180s out of banks at the moment, but would like to learn on flat, and on fly outs as well.

Awesome tutorial, please please make the bunny hop 180 vid!!

[seanbeatty]

Awesome video, as always. I recognize the first Skatepark because I live a few minutes away, but the second one doesn't look familiar. Anyone know which one it is?

Hi, I ride free coaster without brakes. I am getting close to pulling off my fakie but I just don't have the pedals ready for the power stroke to complete it. I noticed in your tutorial you were hopping out. Will this help me if I try this?

[brianmulligan]

Best tutorials. Unfortunately I'm still struggling to get this😢

[safesclart]

Sorry guys but "Chase Willie" is a cool as name. It might mean somthing different in the UK but ignore them.

Are the three steps practice, practice, practice?
