The idea of BMX is to go fast. Pedaling is the key.

Bullshit, it looks to me like he uses his pedals more for balance and bike control, he isnt pedaling for speed
You could get the same speed with a pedalless manual and relying on pump

Post by: dirtyvans on October 09, 2005, 02:16 PM

stick yer bum out as low as possible over the rear wheel! it helps balance, like a counter weight
practice on a slight hill downwards, makes it easier

and keep your arms straight - DO NOT try to keep the front wheel up using
them - pump with your legs.

front wheel going too high > move arse forward.
front wheel going too low > move arse backwards.
