1:16 you don't even know how close to truth you are😂
Now wheelie it
I wouldn't mind buying the bike but 600$ I'll have to pass
"Definite progress! Look at this! -BLEEEP-"
Give it to sam pilgrim and tell him to do some downhill
It took Dustin 8 months that took mike one hour
So I am twelve and I can do wheelies for blocks. I started by practicing every day for about 30 minutes and gradually got better I had it down but one day every thing clicked like what he said about the backwards bike and than I was wheeling Down my street no problem it’s weird how the brain adapts to different things in a similar way
What is a backward bicycle besides left and right being opposite?
the bike for the old me I used to think to ride the bike the wrong way before
E A S Y
Me, who only turns by leaning
If you ride without hand then you would not have to stear
does it ride like a motorcycle? so you push the right bar and you go right? and same for left bar?
What would happen if you are a child whi never ever had a normal cycle?
Now try to wheelie that bike
Just use plane controles only for left to right
do a nose manual
I think the easiest way to ride this is to keep your hands away from the steering) and to ride a bike without hands is pretty easy to learn
do a downhill course with it
Me when riding a real bike
i reckon training wheels would have helped
Why does this even exist?
little did those people know is that this 25 year old man who couldn't ride a bike can even ride a bike up stairs
Inverted input: on
easiest way to ride is just put your right hand forward if you want to go right and same with the left and you should be able to visualize it and ride it easier.
This channel inspired me to learn how to ride a bike. Yes I am a guy who learned how to ride a bike when he was 20 years old.
I think that you should make it so you have to peddle backwards
Quick tip, if you stop looking down to your hands it will be much easier as long as you consciously do the opposite to what your brain said, just as you mentioned.
This is basically riding a motorcycle, counter steering.
The trick is to ride the bicycle as straight as possible
gay
Next thing you know this guys gonna make a unicycle with reverse pedals
When you realize you have invert controls on
don't blaspheme pls
Now try wheelieing it
It’s all in speed
Imagine what if he had to also pedal backwards too
Why can’t you dislike comments?
Try to wheelie it
Hey Mike, it's been 4 years Can you still ride it
1 year ago he could in a recap vid. not sure about now
@Tigrr T lmao
He cant
Wuuut ? You're only 25 ???
The thief proof bicycle
What's the title of the song in tha last part?
Never seen anyone so happy to ride a bike in the field at about 13kph
Am i the only one that turned their wheel 180 and rode it like this when i was younger
I think that if you visualise it as the handle bar as an arrow pointing to the side you're turning to, the concept sounds easier: When you turn the handlebar to the right, the handle bar would be pointing left, left hand forward. And vive versa. Just a thought, dont know if it could help
Its called counter steering go faster
just do it no hands
The hard part is when your instincts kick in, when you think about the backwards thing it’s fine but when you do it subconsciously like you would a normal bike it get hard
I learned this in like 2hrs lmao its so ez
At a summer camp I was as a really young kid they at they had a backwards bike I tried riding it every day. They had a challenge that if you could ride it 100 feet you win $20 for the cantine (the most expensive items were only 75 cents so $20 was a ton). I worked every day to learn it and I really didn’t get anywhere the first couple days. After being stubborn and every gave up because they all were tired I got the bike to myself and then I was able to learn how to ride it. It really suprised the guy who had made it as a joke because he thought it would be impossible to ride. This was before Smarter Every Day got the bike so I think I could have been one of the first people to learn how to ride one. They guy who made the bike I rode was also close with they guy who made the bike for smarter every day later so I feel proud to know I proved maybe that it was possible to ride one. Btw this was like 2013 and I can’t find anything on backwards bikes being made that early. If I’m wrong pls correct me.
Would it be normal if he rotated the handlebars 360?
I’d like to see him learn to wheelie
Do it in a parking lot ..
My dad and I made a backwards bike took me 2 months to do it
Now do it on the bike rollers
I thought it was going to be easy but after this it looks hard
I wonder if this would be easier if you didn't pay attention at all.. just let your brain do all the work. Listen to a podcast or audio book, really focus on something else.. that way you aren't fighting the bike or the instincts your body is trying to build.
This is how us motorcycle people feel when we try to explain counter steering. Push the left bar forward, the bike leans left. Very counterintuitive. People never understand it. It's only something you understand when you actually ride a motorcycle or a bicycle fast.
People not understanding Counter steering is probably why so many new riders go straight in corners + target fixation
Pedaleira me trouxe aqui
This bike is probably Great anti theft if you live in a city
It would be so sick to do a bait bike prank with this bike 😂😂😂
Imagine doing a hill bomb on that ☠️
Mate can people just not ride with no handlebars?
I like how the bike has no breaks cause the maker knows he will get nowhere on it
What’s the point of this bike doe
My G was going in straight lines only lmao
He forgot to ride the normal bike because he did it for 8 months and it got printed in his mind,and you only did it for a couple of days
Grab some popcorn, leave this bike outside unlocked and enjoy
learn to do a stoppie on the backwards bike
Next challenge: turn 😅
If you can do no hands You can do that with ease
I could ride that bike bc I lean to turn on any bike😂I never turn the handle
This is the ultimate anti-theft
I’m 27 and homeless I haven’t spoken to my family in 8 years and I have no friends as a kid I was too poor to afford a bike so I never learned
I immediately thought of motorcycle counter steering push the bar the way you want to go
How does the bike even work
Arya from india.. Mike ur grt and motivational person you can achieve any challenge. only coz practice and dedication in to success 🏆💪 .. Keep rocking🎸🎶🎶
So this is what inverted controls is like in real life
What’s the difference between this and a normal bike? (Aside from the turning)
4:11 Dead
Imaging hillbombing with this thing
but to learn to steer a bike you need to turn the wheel to one side to go to the other
i would do a whellie so its dont mater im good at whellies so i can drive u bike for 100 meter
At least you don’t have to pedal backwards...
Imagine the pedals were also reverse
Gamers that play inverted controls find this normal
Gamers that play inverted controls find this normal
A friend of mine said if you use the backwards bike for 20 years or so there's a slight chance that you can not ride a normal bike for a long time
This isn't hard
My brother mastered this in three hours and I can't even do it
Now to the Tour de France with it
I’ve seen a lot of people commenting wondering if someone who doesn’t know how to bike would fine it easier to learn this and switch. I believe that this bike would still be FAR harder for them to learn than a normal one. We has humans are basically programmed with the right-right left-left mindset. Just because they can’t ride a normal bike wouldn’t take that away. Perhaps if they had spent years riding one of these, maybe then the switch would be hard. But I think they’d get the hang of it quickly and find it much easier either way, that’s just my opinion though.
Just learn to get good at doing wheelies. With the front wheel off the ground, the steering won't matter.
Ngl that doesnt seem hard at all and not just oh it seems that way
When you accidentally press invert controls in the options
1:00 i fell my phone when he said oh no and im not lying
Wow that got me confusedi was like what do you mean backwards the say that it went left if you were going right 😂😂 that's insane
This is called counter-steering when riding a motorcycle at above approximately 10-15 miles per hour.
@thaik56 lvworld.info/face/video/o5jWp6utd9qOcK4 Every bicycle, motorbike, scooter, kickbike etc. works the same way. All the time, every time. Speed or mass does not matter.
@akiva k I wasn't talking about the video but steering motorcycle from the beginning. Just watch counter-steering videos on motorcycle and you'll understand. Below 10-15 mph you have to counter-balance the weight of the motorcycle to make it steer very tightly at low speeds.
thaik56 How about you watch the video first. The bikes steering is inverted. Turn handbars to the right and the front wheel turns to the left. Where do you get your numbers? What happens if I ride 10-15mph? Is my bike wobbling like a rubber duck on a jello? Is it randomly lean left and right? If speed somehow affect which way bikes turn then there has to be a speed when a bike won't turn at all. What is that speed?
@akiva k No, that is wrong, at speeds above 10-15 mph, turning the handle bar will steer and lean the bike in the opposite direction of where the handle bars are pointed, which is why it's called counter-steering. Just look it up on LVworld Never heard of the term inverted steering. Push right to lean and steer to the right which equals turning the handle bar to the left.
@thaik56 Motorbike, pedalbike, kickbike, moped at any speed. Does not matter. It is all the same.
how dod you not turned pedals behind its not the revert bike its fake revert bike
