Finally got around to watching this. Ulg, i can't stand little kids.
And I find so many tutes like this to be bad. This kid obviously couldn't tell someone why they're having problems with anything, he wouldn't know or understand, and couldn't tell you how to fix it. Usually people who do tutes are the same, "some issues you'll have..." goes on to explain the issues but never why you're having them or how to actually fix them. Those people I find are impossible to learn from, they barely understand how they do the tricks in the first place. The only tutes I've found even remotely good are from Alfredo Mancuso and they're still mehh to some extent. I've watched so many tutorials...even fuckin how to kickflip.... They seem to be unhelpful, hence wanting someone to explain what they do when they're still kinda shitty at it. I've literally watched ones where the guy says "if you avoid the problems, you'll have no problems". Funny but really not helpful. Maybe I'm not a tutorial kind of person, i dunno. I watched some chicks doing bmx park contest the other day, they looked fucking horrible. No style, no air, no speed, landed everything squirrelly if at all...it was painful to watch. if i'm going to look like that, i'll stop before i start. Pathetic.
So like, with a flat 180.. I find i have to start the jumping motion with the arms/legs before the carve or i am unable to get the front wheel up and it kinda digs in..., so look at the back axle at the take off, and end up just kinda falling out of the air and barely turning. Why ? What part is wrong ? If I don't look at the axle, my head will come back straight every time. It's a good marker for me. Is this because I'm not pulling the bike up high enough ? Is it better to try off a curb or something ? Best I can do is a 45. In a quarter, maybe i can get a 90. I can't fakie, so not sure what to do once i've gone around anyway...besides fall over.
