BMX How To Fakie - BMX For Beginners

In this video I talk about what a fakie is and how to learn to do one no matter what direction you spin, or if you have a freecoaster or cassette hub.

The fakie can be an overwhelming though when first learning how to ride BMX, but once mastered it will stick with you as long as you ride and open up an entirely new world of tricks to try.

Thank you for choosing to spend your time watching one of my videos!

Perfect timing! Was just trying to learn these on Monday and got as far as turning 90˚ before I realized I didn't know what to do next.

Thanks dude this is the video I needed. I’ve almost got it but was having a hard time figuring out what to do with my arms and the bars to save myself from falling. Just that simple instruction is gonna help a lot! I had seen another video previously that said to use your knees to balance in fakie that definitely was not working 😂

Awesome, I can roll down backwards on a quarter but can only get out of it 1 out of 10 tries, this really ties it together thanks!

Good advice man, I still struggle with long fakies to this day. They are 50-50 for me most days, will have to remember some of your pointers here

After 6 weeks I've managed to fakie 3 and a half concrete slabs worth but rolling out seems impossible. One day, one day. Thanks for the tips Brant

Great video! Where is you get that t-shirt?

Hey Brant, can you do tire slides (or one of your homies)? More specifically tire slides on the coping when going over a spine. Nobody has ever done a how to on that yet. There's already a ton of tutorials for 180s, 360s, manuals, fakies, barspins, whips, grinds etc. Guaranteed 10K views within the first 10 mins or your money back!

When are you going to do more how to videos of possible as I struggle to try 180 and 360 on flat or out of a quarter pipe

Nice tutorial i ride casstette and fakie rollout is not easy at all, it kills me how easy it looks, when i try its very difficult .
Many say coaster is so much harder honestly i think its up to the individual as people all learn differently, but the cassette seems harder to me
No wonder everyone coasts these days back peddling is too much to ask for apparently imo

My way:
Put a long seatpost. Sit down. Use a long moderate hill. Look at the road in front, not below you. Your brain wants the horizon line. You can practice over and over very quickly. And the speed of the hill helps too. You need a moderate speed to get the feel quickly. Once you have the feel of steering, then you can do away with the post and stand if you like.

Fakes are my nemesis. I can fakie enough to get rolled out on most tricks but if I need to fakie more than 5 or 6 bike lengths I struggle! Drives me nuts as I’m pretty handy at riding bmx in most other areas but fakies just don’t come together for me :/ yet anyways.
