- Welcome back you beautiful people.
Today's your lucky day, I have got
a few ways on how to get on your bike
'cause a few months ago
we showed you, how to dismount your bike.
Now, it's all about getting on it
and I've got a few to show you.
(upbeat music)
Bloody.
Oh my god.
Right, I'm gonna kick off with this first mounting
of the bike, this one is a homage
to one of our special dudes behind the lens.
I call this one the Grundy.
So lower the bike gently, down to the floor
to the point where it's nearly touching the floor.
Then slowly lift up your right leg,
navigate it over that top tube
and place your foot onto the pedal
then slowly bring up the bring the bike
into your inner thigh
and place your left foot on the pedal and cycle on.
(upbeat music)
Alright now this one is if you're in a rush.
Your bike is lent up against a tree
or if you've got a kickstand mounted to your bike
and a set up like this or if you just
want to impress your mates.
This is called the run and jump.
That's one, if you want to impress
or you're in a rush to you to the trails.
See ya.
You wanna get this bike set up perfectly.
You wanna have it level, straight bars.
You wanna have your pedals tilted a little bit.
So they look like it's a target
for your feet to land on.
The key is to have you bike straight up.
You don't want to have it leaning over a little bit
because it's gonna struggle to jump onto a wonky bike.
Next thing is you run in,
you jump up and you've got to look at your target points.
You're gonna grab those handle bars
and you wanna guide your feet into your pedals.
Right, for crank positions this is key
'cause you wanna have your power foot forward.
So your most comfortable foot forward
that you like to ride on, have that pedal at the front.
(electronic music)
Right, this one is called the Surprise.
What you wanna do is grab your saddle from behind.
Pull your bike towards you
but whilst you pulling it back towards you.
You wanna cock your preferred leg.
Let the bike slide under you.
Place your cheek on your saddle
and ride away.
(mellow music)
Okay, before we get too complicated.
I'm gonna start off with this one.
I call this the Timber.
You just lift your bike up onto it's rear wheel
and have both hands on the bars.
Have your saddle a bit high.
Your power foot forward so that's my right foot
and what you gotta do is just jump on and timber down
and ride off to the trail.
(upbeat music)
This one, is wheelie good.
You're gonna really love this one.
It's pretty hard actually.
What you wanna do is have your bike
on it's back wheel like this.
You wanna have your back break on
so that it doesn't loop out.
You keep it sturdy.
You wanna have your front foot forward.
Your preferred front forward
so that's your power leg.
Mine's my right.
You wanna have your saddle a little bit high
and what you gotta do is keep that front wheel on
and you jump from the back onto your pedals
and wheelie off down the trail.
Like you own the place.
Just like this.
(jazz music)
Fuck.
Just like this.
Blimey!
Bloody!
Just like this.
Nice.
Champion.
Whoa.
Right, there is a lot to this one.
This one is called the Whip
and it can go horribly wrong.
It's not for the faint hearted.
It could kill, it's not gonna kill anyone.
Probably heart them if it going horribly wrong.
What you do,
it's a little bit comfortable if you take a glove off.
If you have a glove.
There's a lot to do with this on.
It's all about whipping the bike around
and it has to be all done very quickly
and as soon as the curved bike comes around.
You jump on your bike and you ride off.
Yeah.
Let me explain after I demonstrate this.
Ready?
And go.
It was a bit ugly.
Like I said, this one is not for the faint hearted.
What you wanna do, is start with the bike
a little bit behind you.
And you wanna flick it around.
Let go with your left hand but let that grip roll
around within your wrist by flicking it like a whip.
Let the bike come round.
Grab the other side of the bar
and jump on and ride off.
(mellow music)
Right, this one is super simply but yet effective.
It's an explosive one.
I call this the Cannonball.
Super easy, you jump up but you flick your bike
underneath you, you land on your bike.
You ride off.
Like this, easy.
Right, a little pro tip for you.
You wanna have your front foot pedal,
a little bit lower than normal
'cause when you roll the bike back up.
It'll level out those pedals for
you to land on.
(upbeat music)
Now we find ourselves on that back wheel.
We love a back wheel over here.
This one is for all fidgets out there.
This is called the Fidget Spin.
What you do, is get your bike on the back wheel
just like this, and what you wanna do is flick it,
spin your bike around,
bit like a ballerina but you wanna catch it just like this.
Literally just like this and jump onto your bike.
Let it timber down and ride off.
So it's quite a technical one.
It not for the faint hearted uh uh uh.
Here it goes.
So what you wanna do is start from one side
and then flick it.
Let it go all the way around.
Grab the bars and ride off.
I recommend gloves for this one.
It's all about being confident.
I'm confident.
(jazz music)
Whoa that was close.
Let's do that again.
Nice.
I'll see you on the trail.
Little pro tip, it's not about how hard you spin the bike.
It's about getting the perfect flick for that spin.
(upbeat music)
Well we've done this one before.
It's an old one but I love it
and it has to be in this video again
and this is called the (bleep).
Made up by my friend Tom Cardy.
Thank to him, for bringing this up.
I love it, basically your bike is on the floor like this
and you just gotta get on it without even picking it up
with your hands.
You do it with your feet.
Whoa.
So what you wanna do is you place your bike on the floor.
Drive side up 'cause you don't wanna crush those gears.
You wanna have your crank calm at six o'clock
with your pedal flat so when you jump onto your bike.
Your foot can grab onto that pedal
and you can lift it up, and by lifting it up.
What you wanna do, is you place your right foot
on your pedal with your left one.
You gonna grab your saddle with your foot
and lift it up whilst putting pressure down
on your crank to bring the bike upright.
And you go straight to the handle with your hands
to grab the bike, pedal off.
(hip hop music)
Right, I was inspired by the postie.
The postman, yes.
He was my inspiration to this one.
This one's pretty easy.
It's basically you scoot along.
You lift your leg over.
You sit down.
You pedal off, just like this.
(upbeat music)
Right, this is for the confident ones out there.
I call it the Ghosty.
You basically throw your bike down on a fine road
and try and jump on it before it falls on the ground.
(jazz music)
Bloody
(beep)
Now your gotta catch before it hits the ground.
Oh man.
And try and catch it before it hits the ground.
Oh my god.
Yeah.
And try and catch it before it gets on the ground.
So now G and B has helped you get off the bike.
Now getting back on the bike to go out there on the trails.
Hopefully this little video has
basically entertained you and helped you think out the box
on how to get onto your bike 'cause now
