For the TRUE beginner

On: 2003-05-21

Just learned to ride that BMX of yours? You will want to pick this dvd up if you want to get to the ramps. Not much in the way of flatland/freestyle riding. Just enough to get you going for the ramps. I dont have any skate parks near me so flatland/freestyle is the most I can hope for. Why do they tear down kids dirt ramps in vacant fields? Im 25 and I say it stinks! Anyhow, the real beginner will appreciate this dvd, and so will mom and dad. Covers safety often and most importantly (to mom and dads wallet) what to look for in a first bike! GET TO IT!

The Art of BMX

by: Anonymous On: 2003-03-21

I was looking for something new to do. ESPNs X-Games showed me the light. It was time for me to get into bmx. I decided on bmx over skateboarding due to the fact that I found the bike more useful in everyday life. Having ignored the bmx craze in grade school, and then ignoring the skateboard and bmx scene in highschool/college, and having no friends who give a hoot about bmx I was on my own.

So I bought the DVD. Who better to learn from then the Miracle Man himself, plus I bought a Mirra 540 bike.

The DVD starts off with basic flatland tricks (most useful to me, bunnyhop, 180, 360, bar-spinning) and then moves onto ramp/vert (of no use to me, but still interesting). The pace is quick though and the DVD is not long.

You can watch it all you want but practice is what is really needed. If you have firends who bmx and you can already do the basics, skip the DVD.

This DVD is more for the true beginner.

Great Beggining Point for BMX

On: 2002-10-12

I have been riding BMX for years and Im very good. I wish I had this movie when I started off. REcently my friend let me borrow the movie. I watched it and it was awesome. BMX can be a hard sport and can be kind of dangerous but with this movie you can have an easier. I am 15 and have been BMXing since I was 7 years old. If I have had that movie then I would have been a lot better. I hear that volume 2 is going to be so much better with more advancr tricks. Im more of a dirt jumper and I hear there will be dirt juming in it. This movie makes you wanna get your bike and go out and ride. So what ever you do dont watch it on a rainy day.

Dave Mirra Trick Video

On: 2001-12-24

This is an extremely important video to watch if you are just begining ramp riding or perhaps want to improve your existing skills. He covers barspins, roll backs/fakies, manuals, bunny hops, grinds, fly outs, peg stall drop ins and a lot more. Dave Mirra and his crew ( including Ryan Nyquist and others) take you step by step into the tricks. I strongly advise this video if you want to learn the right way and minimize injurys.It runs at a good pace and good quality video work. It also takes you all the way to Dave Mirras house where he gives you a personal tour!
