You know when you first ever learned to ride a bike and going forward feels weird, you can’t balance, and then you fall. Learning to flakie going to feel the same way. If you had training wheels on your bike and just road backwards for 20 min just to get comfortable then took training wheels you would be able to flaikie no problem. Only thing is you don’t have training wheels, so go out there learn to ride a bike again (except in reverse) you are going to fall, so don’t clip/strap in when you practice save yourself the pain. You got this cheers
y u p ! After finally eating dirt trying to unclip hastily one time, I just removed mine... I figure if I can't even do it without, why give myself a crutch?
Bro i got my fakie down and ive been trying to slider for a week still havent got it without putting my foot on the ground, hope you figured it out after 3 years lol
@@joshuaslobodnik3942Yo, my sliders are solid now! Now it feels natural, but I was so lost in the beginning to understand the dynamics. Better fakie also helped a lot. The slider is much easier with solid fakie and proper speed. Go with the momentum, shift your weight back quickly when initiating. You can also force it by pulling the handlebars harder when initiating the slider. It is all about not loosing the momentum when sliding the rubber on the ground so more speed really helps. Putting the foot on the ground is a matter of commitment I believe. Good luck brother!
Awesome tutorials! What strap brand do you recommend? You mentioned Velo City in this vid but they carry 2 or 3 brands. I've heard bad things about some brands, that some are too small, velcro doesn't hold, or they don't hold their shape on their own (stay open). Recommendations? Thx!
I don't have a dominant foot, I always practice both feet (in skating as well) I always ensure I'm equal on both sides, Like being goofy or regular, new skaters/cyclists are actually capable of doing both it just takes a little more focus, but allows full freedom of direction.
Question, what is the material of the frame? does it have to b a chrome to do like bunny humps and like basic tricks? I i cant decide to go fixie or fgfs just need it for commuting mostly. Awesome tutorial btw.
I’m having trouble figuring out which is my dominant foot, I skid with my right foot forward and whip it a little to the right, and feel more comfortable bunny hopping with my left foot forward. when I’m in a trackstand I have the front wheel turned to the left with my left foot forward
If it has brakes or is not UCI approved it's not a track bike.
