First Problem:

2nd Problem:

NOTE: This is not a rant, I just want to point out something I noticed.Ok, I'd guess almost every bike rider with an internet connection nowadays looks up tutorials or how-tos before even starting to learn the thing they want to learn. Let it be skills in BMX, MTB, Trials or even just cornering a Downhill bike - there's tutorials out there for everything.And while they can definitely help, in my last 5 years of excessive Street Trials riding and learning lots of tricks I noticed some fundamental flaws.Most how-tos are made by or with professional riders who have been doing the trick for years. Seems logical to do, right? They are supposed to be the best at those tricks.But the thing is, what the person watching/reading the tutorial is setting out to do isn't doing the trick, it's learning the trick.So, the best person to make a how-to is actually someone who just learned the skill recently and still remembers everything they had to do to learn it. If you've been doing a trick for years, you'll most likely have forgotten some of the fine details that are so important in learning something efficiently.I think lots of people get scared off because some how-tos don't make it seem learnable for them. Most tutorials don't even show any learning or learning techniques and focus solely on how to DO the thing. Which can be quite intimidating with certain tricks and skills."Want to do a Bunnyhop Barspin? Oh yeah, just hop high, pinch your seat and spin the bars."- Literally 95% of the Barspin tutorials out there.You can't just go out and do that. How about learning to securely pinch the seat and keep your weight over the bike first? And automatizing a fast throwing technique? And building confidence?I think you get the point.This is one of the reasons I started the YouTube series "Quick New Trick."I am learning new tricks all the time, so I thought "Why not record it?"What I'm doing now is, I try to learn advanced BMX, Trials or MTB skills as quickly as I can, because I want to show that not only beginners can progress quickly, and at the same time I give other people the best tips I find for learning the skill - making it a full tutorial from first try to success.With that you'll know exactly what to expect from learning the trick yourself, and I think that makes it a lot more efficient.So far I've made two episodes - one on Barspins and one on Dragonslayer Manuals - and there's two more episodes already in the making. I'm really enjoying it.P.S. I'm not saying Pros shouldn't do how-tos anymore or shouldn't give their own tips, I just think they should focus more on the learning part and that there's a lot of room for improvement in tutorial styles. This is important because we guide the people who want to progress in their sport and it plays a part in shaping many of the up-coming riders. Youtube's influence is getting bigger and bigger.
