My friend today (guy in video) hasn’t touched a bmx bike in over 10 years. Even when he used to ride one it was very minimal and typically just light cruising with no crazy tricks or anything. He decided to come hang out with me and wanted to give riding a try today just for fun and do nothing serious. Started the session off trying a couple 180s but couldn’t understand the rollout. About 30 minutes later into the session he saw me doing some switch feeble easy 180s and he asked me, “Hey, wouldn’t that be easier grinding on the other side?” And we tried to explain to him why it is not whatsoever and why that’s called a feeble hard and what I’m doing is called a feeble easy for a reason. Well, he only had pegs on one side and decided to just give it a couple goes anyways and within 15 tries he landed a feeble hard 180. Then went on to do it again a few more times back to back on lock. I guess he learned how to rollout on the spot admist learning feeble hards simataneously. This is a man that can barely feeble and a man that can barely 180 and he just learned and landed feeble hards like they were nothing. Clearly he has a muscular build and works out regularly but is this also just pure natural talent??? Is a strong physique really the key to bmx??? Ive been trying that trick for years and still am no where even close. Anyways, what’s your guys thoughts? Do you guys have a friend like this that can just land your dream tricks effortlessly?

Muscles definitely dont hurt. Also stop u getting hurt. Buuut u weigh more so get bodied more. And hopping when heavier is obvs harder etcetc
A friend of mine (who is crazy on the bike) told me, while trying feeble hard, that it doesnt have to be difficult. And with that advice I kinda relaxed and just trusted myself and next thing I know is I pulled it.
Maybe for someone who doesnt ride alot, they dont think about it to much. And so they dont make it difficult for themselfs
