That's really good that you feel this way now! :)
So I've been watching loads of BMX videos and seeing how the bike is handled, I think a lot of us were saying how because the back wheel was smaller than we're used to, leaning back on the bike was treacherous especially when the front wheel gets rad air, so in the videos, the riders let the front wheel up but keep tension on the bike and wheeling
the back wheel over the quick consession hump parts. But still pumping. - this is something I want to learn next , not because I'll be able to do it but I think that instead of stacking it and landing on my back with bike in air, I might just be able to stay on.
