HOW TO FAKIE BMX (INDEPTH EXPLANATION) 

Finally landed my first barspin I’ve fell a bunch but finally landed one ☝️💪🏽

I’m 53 and never was introduced to these moves as a kid, I’m learning now. I only practiced about 40 minutes and the peddling backwards came natural but requires practice to be consistent. My goal is to learn a few bmx tricks in 2023 and diet down under 200lbs , all for riding my bikes! I used a wall for stopping then tried to reverse out of it, thus the fake! Thanks for the explanation 👍

when i learned fakies i found it easier to not lift the back wheel and to roll up really slow and push off of the curb harder. it helps you roll backwards faster and longer

Intro was boss!! Exactly what I need since I can do a decent hop now.

In my opinion and the way I learned to fake was using a quarter pipi. Roll up and back down effortlessly, and learn to roll out each time. I learned at a skatepark, I tried it 100 times over and over, and pretty much had it in a day. And then learn to 180 on flat ground, fakie and roll out and you got it!!

Out of all the good fakie how-to's out there, this is the only one that teach the cab or turnaround part more detailed. And that's the part I'm having difficulties the most lol. Plus I'm also left foot-forward so this is just perfect. Thanks for this man!

Thank you for this. I've been trying to do it without backpedalling. Now I see why it's needed. Also, I like your peaceful, non-aggressive tone of voice and the way you explain things. Nice!

I struggled to pull off a fakie with my cassette, but yesterday I tried a freecoaster for the first time (Cinema ZX) and tried to fakie on a quarter, not thinking id make it, and to my surprise i held a fakie for about 3 seconds. I was super pumped and then found this video. I think this video will be helpful, thanks

I like how you do all different platforms of BMX videos keep it up Alf🔥🔥

The daily grind is sick man!

Thank you ! Thank you this video was so helpful. You broke it down well with many different scenarios

Got my 180s down but struggle with fakies, thanks for this

In-depth you did go. Great video Alfredo 💯💯

coincidence i’ve know how to fakie for a while but was also tryna dial them in yesterday, this defo helped cheers mate 🔥

I learned by riding up a small embankment and then rolling backwards down it. We had front brakes back then, and it was 1983. But I see plenty of small embankments in parking lots and such that have a parking block or curb at the top. I think that would make it easier to learn.

Learning to bmx with my son! This was a great explanation of a fundamental trick to bmx. Thanks! Going to practice a lot with him and get good at riding a bike!

Helping my kids Alfredo! Much appreciated

Ok, so I see your video is older but so am I lol. Thanks man nicely explained 👍.

My God bro you actually made the video I ask for!...Good shit bro I'm heading outside right now👍☺

Thanks for the videos I just bought a bmx bike and these help alot! More plzzz!!!

Good video! Thanks 4 taking ur time showing the progression.

My 180's are really good and my fakie is fine, but I just can't turn out of the fakie and im not sure why. Wish I learned the fakie properly before anything else.

Good video Alfredo 🤘🤘

your tutorial vids helped me learn all my tricks ✅👍🏽

Great tips dude. It really helps getting back into BMX at a old age

Thanks bro, this was a good video for me

For almost as long as I've been riding, I've been " fakieing". It is one of my strengths, but I'm totally down to learn " more "! As usual, thanks my great Man, your videos are awesome! Wes Sept

Great video. Helped me understand better way to initiate the fakie

We called this a "rollback" and it's awesome with a coaster hub. A freecoaster opens up a whole world of tricks, I don't see any upside to running a cassette on a modern bike.

Finally landed my first fakie, it was dope!!! Thx Alf.

I Love Being Able to go back and find the trick i am working on. Old and no one to ride with, you are my teacher :)

Thank you every steps you showed are very helpful. I'll make my own video.

Thank u this really helps🤟

When coming out of the " fakie" I notice the resistance on my crank do to the " cassette" freewheel that I'm using. That " resistance" can be utilized into other moves instead of using a rear brake! I can push, and end up in a killer spinning manual! I can't wait to watch more of your videos. Wes Sept

Getting out of the fakie is my struggle at the moment I'll be hitting the car park and see how I do after this video thank you for these videos helped a lot in the past 💥

Thank you fredo! I'm currently fighting these and letting go of one hand on a bunnyhop.

Thanks for the vid man I landed my first fakie with these steps 😁👍

That intro smooth

i struggle with fakies, so thank you very much for this great video :) -keanan sent me to your channel 😉

Thanks man helps a lot

Man this helps so much thx

Shout out to you sir alfredo. Filipino subscriber here from kuwait.

Was so happy when I landed my first fakie thank you so much man

Great vid🤙🏻 just discovered been the impatient kid back when i sk8 doesn’t help! Now jump into bmx freestyle but still can’t fakie 😁 repetition the key!

✊✊ I'ma try those tomorrow.

We hereee👊🙌👐

I have a criticism for this method (learned fakie and did these methods. Ask me questions if any of you need help.) So for the method of rolling up to a curb, the issue that I found is when you shift your weight to the front of the bike and off the frame, youre susceptible to letting your frame rock from one side to the other so my frame moved by itself to the left when i put all my weight to the front when coming up on the wall. My recommendation is to do the embankment technique or take this to the skatepark to a steep ramp and practice riding up and then rolling down to go backwards.

Just did my first fakie today and you’re the only RU-vidr I come to for bmx tutorials

Idk how u haven’t even got 150 k dude! Ur sick!

Killin it

Great video bro really appreciated had a question u think my Sunday bmx bike will get flats quick if I drive it in my back yard over small branches and in the grass I tried my road bike but it got flat super quick within one ride my subdivision is enforcing no bike riding in the subdivision due to covid 19

Good video

Awesome man, im learning. Building my first bike at 35 😎

Yoooo still can’t fakie but love u alf

Ive got them dialed now, only thing is im left foot forward and spin to the right but i always use my right foot for the pedal pressure, is that ok or will it impede me in the future.

🤙we out here bruh!🇯🇲

Hello im 15, been practicing my 180 fakies for about 2 solid months and i have the 180 down like perfect, but jesus i cant roll out of it(cab) for the life of me. I struggle to stay over the bike and it kinda whips out from me. I love ur vids tho man this really helps

But much love Alf 👊🏻

I love your brake. I rode my friends’ brakeless bmx and it’s uncomfortable as hell (and a little bit dangerous cuz you can fall under a car while sessioning near street)

Going back to this will help me, I'll tell you how the progress is going Edit: YO I ACTUALLY DID IT BRO

Really hope this helps me!!!🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

I learned how to fakie on a coaster brake and now the idea of back pedaling on a cassette boggles my mind.

Hey i have a quick question. I drive regular footed and spin to the right side like you. But if i try the 180 on the flatground i always do the roll out to my left side. It kind of feels a little bit unnatural. Any tips?

Still watching. 🤟🏼🙌🏼

Dude got that drip🤭

Dude just landed my first bar spin out of the bowl yesterday

I’m using this video to teach my girl lmao she doesn’t understand lmao 😂

🔥

Hello my good man

I am used to faking slower (slow back pedal) to control my balance. But if Im doing fast 180s I can't back pedal fast. What can u recommend me to fix this problem.

Finally got a 360 bunny hop tail whip today so siked

Dope tutorials bro. What frame you riding and what size TT?

Do you have a how to fakie slider on a cassette tutorial at all?

A bmx build breakdown would be neat

Man I wish somebody would teach me this back in the 80s

I am really just not catching the rear wheel lift, and I've been trying a lot. Any tips?

Can you do a how to 360 barspin?

i always hit my knees in the handlebars ): what should i do?

Great fake vid. 48 noob here. thank you. I'm 90%. Trying to get balance, reverse pedal and turnout sorted so I can call it 100%. And yes, speed is your friend! Great job breaking down key steps and tips.

i have everything but the turn around down. i can literally reverse for about 5 metres, but i can’t get the turnaround

👏👏👏

Make a how to Manuel 180 video 😭👍🏼

Like 4 the old intro 😎👌🏻

🤙🏻

🤘🤘🤘

🙌🏽

do i need more speed if everytime i do 180 i just stop and cant fakie like at all

🤘🏼🙌🏼

i fuckin miss you man(no homo) haven't seen ur vids in a lil minute

🤘

Any tips for saving money for new bike

I can land the 180 but then I just stop I don’t actually roll backwards, any tips?

ayo alfy plastic or metal pedals?

👍🏻

👍👍👍

Ya should have more of your saying expressions in your videos standing on the shoulder of giants
