How to Coast into a BMX Hang 5

Video Transcript

"This is Sean from Expert Village. In this clip we're going to talk about the coasting the hang 5. What you're going to do is get up on top of the ramp and you think you kind of know your balance point. You practiced it a little bit on the ground so go ahead get up the ramp, get your speed, get on top of the ramp, put your foot on the peg. Grab the brake just a little bit to get all your weight forward then start coasting just like a nose wheelie, a peg wheelie, a manual. Anything else you do you really don't want to grab the brake. You just want to feather it a little bit. What you do is grab it slightly; you really don't wrench on it. Just grab it a little at a time to correct your balance if you need. Try to keep your frame and a straight line while you are doing this and remember when you're stirring when you are on the front tire you can't just turn your bars like you would if you were riding around. You have to use your weight leaning right or left depending on which way you want to go. As I said before if you are just learning and if you want to do short ones at first, you want to keep them as close to the copping as you can. So come up go at a relative angle at the ramp and just kind of coast it using your brake and weight to stabilize you and to keep your balance then get right up to the copping. "
