Are you stuck doing bar turns instead of getting some sideways action? As mountain bikers, it's in our nature to want to whip, but it can be hard to manipulate the bike in the air. Blake Samon is known for his ability to throw all sorts of shapes in the air, so he thought he'd share his technique on whipping an MTB.

nac-nac, and no hands

@nicoleviant217 Ай бұрын

Backflip

@gunshipanropace2gunshipand119 Ай бұрын

Can't Even Bunnyhop but still am watching this

@andrew8200m Ай бұрын

To not crash, that would be an awesome trick to pull off.. In the mean time, I'll keep using my body as a crash pad.

@LaurentiusTriarius Ай бұрын

Front flip but yeah. I'm now in my 40's and every previous attempt ended in catastrophic failure except once by chance on a airbag 😂

@nawowas8818 Ай бұрын

Blake is my favourite guide😊

@outdoorswithalex164 Ай бұрын

Agreed

@pushrod4383 Ай бұрын

Pretty sure he's my lost brother 😂

@zachpangos7159 Ай бұрын

I need this. I don’t know how to do any fancy stuff. I know how to pedal and sweat 🤣 Need more like this

@goingbonzo5923 28 күн бұрын

Funny, I felt much more comfy on a dirt bike jumping. The transition is awkward.

@Lifeofrejkjaer Ай бұрын

Instructions unclear, im stuck in the microwave

@LaurentiusTriarius Ай бұрын

Dishwasher, pls turn off the extra dry feature if you pass by

@bananafam7305 Ай бұрын

Instructions unclear, I'm stuck in a tree through my bike frame.

@linea2000 Ай бұрын

Really clear explanation. I probably won't be able to learn it, but at least I'm clear about that!

@DirtbikeGoon Ай бұрын

Hey Blake when are you making that full suspension frame? I am building one out of mild steel in my garage without a jig

@SDM-Trails-Builds-Sends Ай бұрын

great video, helps

@BigEightiesNewWave Ай бұрын

DEVO, whip-it! whip-it GOOD!!!

@mikeitaintme Ай бұрын

Cool hwip 😉

@justkeepdigging1956 Ай бұрын

Love Blake, but he's got a weird whip style. Most people tend to turn their bars into the whip rather than against it. Doing it this way makes it harder to get the rear wheel back in line but it does mean the bike goes a bit flatter in the air which looks good!

@nickv3085 Ай бұрын

It’s not weird, it’s just one variation. The video explanation is completely useless however, since he talks as if he turns the bars, when in reality he tables them.

@graeme5364 Ай бұрын

Way to destroy rims also given it wasn’t even straight when he landed.

@JeffMTBinVA Ай бұрын

Thanks Blake, that's some awesome whips, but can you nae nae? 😋 One day, if I'm lucky, I may have enough skill to at least try it

@AdventureAwaits4u Ай бұрын

How much does your foot position matter? Your right foot was forward to do a whip to the right. Would you put your left foot forward to whip to the left?

@stevengoodwin3154 Ай бұрын

I would like to see the Toboggan on a small jump.

@CoachTrifes Ай бұрын

what confuses me right now is that to me it looked just like a carved tabletop instead of a "classic" whip you'd see at whip offs ? Is that just a fact where a carved tabletop is also a whip or am i missing something ? I'd be happy about any help or clarificaitons :)

@donaldduck9727 4 күн бұрын

@@CoachTrifes I was thinking the same thing. I’m no expert but to me a table top has the bars turning opposite to the direction of carve, just as shown in this video (carve left, bars to the right). But a whip begins with the bars ‘over turning’ in the same direction as the carve, the back swings out, then bring bars back in line, followed by bringing the back in line. I’m pretty sure Blake is describing a table top in this vid, rather than a whip

@petersilie2432 Ай бұрын

Let's see if if I manage to learn this without tearing the fourth ACL 😅.

@barryt6377 Ай бұрын

You can practice this flatland out of a meridian curb. Hit a curb with lip at angle so your already whipping your back tire out naturally. Preload right before kicker and send sideways.

@Tr3zn3r Ай бұрын

There are two ways. The table whip. The turn bar whip. Easiest ways to describe them.

@BigEightiesNewWave Ай бұрын

Imma run this by Jeremy SHOWTIME McGrath, see if he is right about these tips.

@nickv3085 Ай бұрын

Blake is doing one variation of a whip, but describing another. Strange and probably confusing for people. Carving off the lip is helpful, though.

@bimfred Ай бұрын

reverse steering is how bikes turn/carve. He is doing fine. But yes. there are multiple ways of hwhippang.

@iasha740 Ай бұрын

Yep, he is doing a table at the beginning, scrubbing the take off. This is not a normal whip.

@CoachTrifes Ай бұрын

@@iasha740 Agree here. extremely confusing. the whips he does on the footage compared to the hand motion he was showing off the bike were two distinctively different things. hope they can clarify :D

@iasha740 Ай бұрын

@@CoachTrifes In my honest opinion, this type of videos are entertaining but not a source of actual knowledge. Why are there tons of tutorials on the same thing in this channel? Because people like to watch them but they don't really learn anything new. I learned to bunnyhop, jump, wheelie, etc from small channels with people explaining their experience while learning the thing, not the big channels like this where they repeat videos one after the other just confusing the audience. Entertaining, that's all.

@jamesc6876 Ай бұрын

i noticed this as well. Neil and Blake have some really good advanced tips and tidbits but I have to go all over the place to get a complete tutorial. the Ben Cathro PinkBike series is probably one of the better ones
