And a good thing is that everyone can do these tricks. It only requires a high level of coordination and balance, very fast reactions, good amount of strength and stamina, and of course an ability to combine and transfer all these skills into bike control. Easy! I'm now into more advanced stuff, like lifting the front wheel onto the curb in a correct time. I can now succeed at almost half of my steezy both-hander no-barspin front-wheel curb lifts!
was just about to write something similar. the very first trick "you need to know how to wheelie" yeah ive been trying for years i can only do 2 mtr :D Sam is just a natural
@@R1eger25 i can't wheelie and I have been riding bikes for 30 years lmao, I just don't have the balance. I rode MTB for a number of years doing trails and some downhill but nope, never could wheelie more than like 10 feet or 3 meters lol
In the first place you are not really watching Sam for learning how to do easy basic bike maneuvers… otherwise you are watching the wrong channel I’d say… 😉
Congratulations on everything you've achieved Sam,and please don't ever change. I'm over 60,just subscribed and can go up quite large kerbs on my E-Bike.🙂
Never knew it was called a Russian Slider, i have been doing those for years on my bmx and still love them! For extra steeze points, nollie into the 180 to slider. Feels silky
Pilgrim! Frigging love you, dude. I'm midway through my second e-bike build. I specifically ordered a thumb throttle just so I can get some orange PilGrips! 😂 dreams.
From doing some of this on a BMX in the 80's, I always found the footjam type tricks way easier than stock wheelies! Anyone remember the good ol' days of burning a trench across the sole of your trainers because you had no actual brakes, so had to jam your foot sideways into your rear tyre and rear triangle? :D
Sam, in Liege (Belgium) there is a rideable stairset called "Montagne de Bueren" that is 374 steps and 200m long, straight line, I hope to see you there one day ! Also great video I'd love to see with a meter how hard you"re using the brake as I stuggle with them !
I haven't wheelied in decades. I really need to get that back. Just starting to jump. Mostly small bumps and such out riding. I do want to make some ramps. Definitely inspired to try some other tricks as well.
Found your channel about a week ago, laughed a lot, and remembered through my 20's riding my gt and clein every weekend, fast forward couple of stone and 20 years later thought yano what I'm buying a bike. Well done lad you inspired me, a good few years out after selling up the bikes following a hospital stay and thinking I'd not be riding again its time I think.
Sam is an absolute Ninja Assassin on any wheeled machine. I recently learned pull up bar spins, but I never thought about doing them off features. New levels of stoke unlocked now, also its given me more muscle memory to start trying the hop barsp
Sam, love your videos! So much fun. The other “instructional” video of yours that I saw wasn’t as inspiring, since you demonstrated things like the flair, with the comment that we here in viewerland probably wouldn’t run out and try it after watching the video 🤣 But this video has inspired this old dog to spend the coming winter months trying to learn these new tricks! I already have the basics for several of them, so starting today, “let’s get straight into it!”
Youve got 2 million subscribers!!!!!!!! Ive been watching your content since covid! Thank you for all the time effort and love that goes into your content
i remember watching these years ago and learning some of them when i was a beginner , russian slider such a beast only know it bc of u and everyone loves it
Not to mention great exercise and muscle building. The pedal hop is such an important trick to learn because you gain rear bike control during hard riding times like Dh.
@Sam brother will you PLEASE make some videos including either the Simple Go bike (front and rear steering like a sidewinder) or the Flizz Bike (this weird harness bike where your suspended from the frame...) I think a lot of people would enjoy watching you shred on these gnarly weird ass bikes!!!!
You have done a good job showing me how to do the things, and I have decades experience biking (but its been 50 years since I did any bmx type stuff), and im pretty sure that I wont be able to do any of these things, no matter how easy you say that they are.
@@TheTunaSmuggler I'm garbage at wheelies lol. Been trying for years. I think my issue is I'm too scared of tipping back so I don't commit and I push down too soon
Hi Sam, I received my Orchrad limited edition Mountain & Skeleton tee's order. They are of excellent quality, very cool designs and I Iove them! Your videos are so fun to watch, you truly are one with the bike & the abuse of cute Lewi is something! 😮 haha ....have fun in the USA!
I'm still learning to wheelie. Right not I only have my clipless pedals so its pretty nerve wrecking having to clip out. I'm practicing every time i go out but I definitely need more practice
I actually find these tutorials informative, as an unexperiensed rider. As he clearly shows how to move the body, which i always find almost impossible to find out by myself. Please do some more somewhat easier stuff to!
