Tricks

Intermediate

These tricks are for intermediate riders.

Bar Spin - Get a decent size jump that will let you have a bit of time to pull this trick. Get some good air, and then hold your bike with your knees to stop the front end dipping. Spin those bars. Grab them again and land and ride away. Try practicing on the ground first to get you used to the spin action.

Can Can - Simply take your favorite leg and when in the air put it over the top tube so both of your legs are on one side of the bike. Put it back where it belongs, land and ride away.

No Foot Can Can - Again, big air, then like a no footer but then take one of your feet and put it over the top tube so both feet and legs are on one side and then get if back over again. Land, don't crash, ride away.

One Foot X-Up - Now this time when you do your x-up, kick your foot (and leg) kind of backwards but from the side, then land with both feet on and ride away.

Suicide No Hander - Again some good air time, and pinch the seat, and put your hands and arms to the side and back, like you are Jesus on the cross. The further back your arms the cooler you are. Get them back on the bars and land.

Suicide Bar Spin - Do a suicide no hander and spin the bars at the same time remember to pinch the seat.

Nothing - First you have to be able to do no footers and no handers. Next you gotta get enough air to do a trick off a jump. Then all you gotta do while your in the air is do the no hander then the no footer to make it a nothing. Next grab
your handle bars and put your feet back on. Finally land and ride away!

Seatgrab Nothing - Above but with a seat grab.

Kamikaze - For this trick you need a lot of air and I mean A Lot of air. When you leave the lip of the jump lean forward over the bars and spread your arms out. Simple!

Stretched Double Seat Grab Dip - Get some speed, and a pretty good sized jump. When your in the air throw your bike forward like a double seat grab, but keep your feet on the pedals. Then kinda lean your arms forward. Then pull your bike back under you and land.

Seat Grab X-Up - When you are leaving the lip start taking your hand back towards your seat, while your are doing this turn you bars. By the time you grab the seat your bars should be Xed up. You can make it look cooler if you stretch back. Get back over your bike but while you are doing that put your backs back to their proper position.

Double Seat Grab - just lean back pinch the seat grab it with both hands hold it for a while. Put hands back on bars, land and ride away.

360 - While in the air, do a complete circle turn, land and ride away.

Ewing - Do a no footer and while in the air click your heels or if you cant get your heels your knees on the end oh your handle bars.

Madafa - You go into the air, throw your bike towards yourself and do a nothing.

Kick Out Bar Turn Around - Do a kick out, trying to turn as close to 90 degrees as you can. Turn your bars 90 so you are in an x up position. now kick back to your original position. Now simply let go of the bars and flip them the rest of the way around. (so over the entire trick you complete a bar spin.)
