My name is Max and I'm a Street Trials bike rider with a passion for making videos. My channel features everything from learning and experiments all the way to just plain bike action. The first video series I started is called Quick New Trick and it featured me trying to learn new bike skills as quickly as possible, to show you how you can learn them as well.
Hope you enjoy the videos! See you in the comments section.
Damn, I know all of these and over the years never learned, and worst of all I'm on a BMX that should be easiest. Not sure where I'm looking though. Maybe that would make the difference. Will try. Thanks!
So Max, when you say a smaller rider on a big bike will have the wheel higher than a bigger rider on a small bike, does that also mean a big rider will have the wheel lower regardless of what size bike they're riding? Hope you see this. Thanks.
I found this while looking for a way to make / order custom versions of the picture thingies found **inside** the spokes of tires like most commonly seen on kids' bikes.. but there doesn't seem to be any info I can find! 😥 "images INSIDE tires" only shows me the equivalent of just "tire photos" LOL why isn't it a popular thing to make & customize?? it doesn't even have a name?? well anyways I wanted to make a special handicap themed one for my future bike as an extra visual that it's used for accessibility reasons & such (especially as a tire image wd be bigger than most other forms of labeling / signage on a bike) 😅
I have been watching a lot of trials videos and this one has been the best at visually demonstrated what is needed to accomplish the move. The integration of various camera views, post-edits of lines, and great narrations/descriptions all make me feel more confident in what maneuvers I need to work on to progress in my biking skills. Thanks so much for the video!
Wow! I have watched far too many bunny hop tutorials by now, but this one is by far the best. Going into detail and showing it with those slomo-rewind-and-forward playing sequences is pure gold. Thanks! You’ve got a new subscriber here.
"The whole move goes into throwing your weight back." I had wondered about why I could easily get into a manual on the machine, but not in real life. Great insight. I'm inspired.
Hey man, i really wish you'd make videos again, i think you hid your videos for a while and i was really sad cause there were some videos i was really looking forward to see like the tube insert or fakie tutorial, hope you come back
Fuck that. I’d rather just buy another tube. This looks like too much time and effort just for a bike. Not to mention I’d be spending more, just to do this little DIY, when I could just use the money to simply buy a new tube
Great video!! I've been working on the manual for a year now and can do a few meters but I'm deadly afraid of looping out so I always press the brake and come back down. I tried practicing looping out but fell on my butt and couldnt walk right for 3 days, so after that I stopped practicing looping out. I'm gonna use the manual machine to practice looping out but I'm still afraid.
great ! I want to go back to riding bike like useless trials for example and not boring ride forward :D, but tell me, what is your bike ? What wheel size ? 20" or 24" only "Inspired" is making frames like yours ? What to look for ?
Great video, and I mostly agree, but one important thing missed: Hopping on your feet is easy when stood with a slight bend to the legs. Hopping on your feet when squatted down low is very hard on your muscles. ...it would destroy your leg muscles. Add a bike into the mix and it becomes even tougher physically.
I'm a former trials rider and physics enthusiast, who's getting back into riding after a 15 year break. Loving how much you've thought about the physics - you're definitely the best on youtube at describing techniques for manuals, bunnyhops, and other things.
Grest tuto but just a question? In order to pull up the wheel decently do I need to push the pedals forward also, right? Or pushing the pedals forward is just to loop out ? Thx
02:25 is super important - the move is not initiated by going fully into a manual! Also, how do you set up your bikes size/cockpit wise? The turqouis one long to have a loong angled stem 😊 Cheers 👍
