LIST of bike tricks

came across this site (can't remember the site) and saw this list of tricks... ride safe... ;D


!The Perfect Backflip!
first make sure that ur dirt jump is a decent size (3 to 4 feet) then get enough speed to go 5 or more feet off the jump. as your front tire hits the lip tilt ur upper body back with ur head trying to look at the landing. then about half way through the jump locate ur landing and start to stairten ur body out and land smoothy(you probably wont land this trick the first time u try it but dont give up because it is eaiser then a 360)

"Face grind!"
First, approach a rail diagonally at a fast speed. At the last moment stick your right foot in the front fork and pull the front brakes as hard as you can. Once airborne and heading in the general direction of the rail, line yourself headfirst in the superman position. Once you have made contact with the rail you will feel a slight tingling sensation in your face but dont let this effect your concentration. Continue grinding along, and if necessary, balance your body by raising your legs. When at the end of the rail flick your legs up over your head in a mad kung-fu style backflip and hopefully land on your feet with a perfect face grind. This is a great party trick ensured to dazzle your friends. The key word to success is PRACTICE. Hope this has been of some help to you. Peace

180 back wheel x-up
first pop a wheelie by pulling up on the bars and pedaling. Then spin on your back tire. While you are doing that do an x-up by extending your bars as far as you can to the left or right.And land smoothly.
Submitted by: Devan


360
First of all, I`d suggest learning this trick on a tabletop or a small double. You don`t really need much air to do a 360. Before you jump, it would be best to practice on flat ground. Simply try to do a bunnyhop 360. You probably won`t come anywhere close to a 360 on flat ground, but try to at least do a 180. When you go to bunnyhop, start turning before your bike leaves the ground. Turn your head and handlebars hard to the left (or right, whichever you prefer) and turn with everything you`ve got. Remember - where your head leads, your body follows. This bunnyhopping is not necessary; it merely helps you some by practicing the rotation on flat ground first. When you go to jump, you need to start the rotation before the bike completely leaves the jump. Don`t go too fast at first. Going slow, you can usually get away with an under-rotation (like a 270 or so), but at full speed, things are less forgiving. Once you can pull a clean 360 consistently, then you can begin the real fun; 360s at high speeds over big doubles. That`s where the difficulty comes in; it takes some guts.

360 sucide
Go off a ramp with moderate speed when your in the air clamp your both your nee`s to your seat do a 360 while your hands our straight out put your hands back on the grips and your done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Submitted by: Robby


A Humungo
First you have to hit a pretty big jump. You do a no footer, one hander, but unstead of just leaving your hand in the air you take your hand and grab the cross bar. hold it for looks and land smoothly
Submitted by: Michael Jenkins


a kiss of death
Do a standing nose weelie and as the back tire rises alow your knees to bend and the bike to lift up underneth you untill yuor seet almost hits you butt.Then lean forward realy far and with practice you can kiss your seat before the bike goes back down.I recomend a helmet thought as it is easy to lose contole.Also note that its impossible to do this without good front breaks.

Air Raid
first try to find a jump with not a small lip and get a huge amount of speed and hit it straight on as you are in the air take your right foot off and as soon as you are in the can-can position let go of the handlebars and just slowly walk along side the bike like 4 or 5 steps then grab the handlebars bring your right leg over and giude both feet one the pedals and land safley

Back Flip from hell
Get a high ramp and do a normal back flip but add an 180 with it.
Submitted by: Andrew brown


Back Foot Endo
Ride along at a slow pace put your front foot in the front fork. When your tail is in the air place your back foot on your rear peg hold for about 3 seconds and then take your front foot out of the front spoke and ride off.

back wheel bar spin
stand on the back pegs and spin youre handlebars as fast as you want left or right. when you stand on the back pegs bend youre legs and when you are about lift the handlebars straiten youre legs. and just spin the bars. this trick is easieest to learn without spining the bars and when you are ready spin the bars.
Submitted by: anna murtagh


backflip
tilt your head back and pull up keep your head tilted backif you dont it will stop the rotaion they are easyer than 360 s
Submitted by: sparks


back-flip
get lot`s of speed for the lip of the dirt jump. When you collect enough speed to get about 6 feet of air, hit the lip of the jump. when your front tire hit`s the lip of the jump start leaning your body back and pulling your handlebars back. Spot your landing about half way through. Your head will make your body go in the direction your looking. When you get three fourths of the way done with the rotation start leaning forward and land smooth. When you get better throw in an x-up or something more complicated.

Backflip 1 handed 360
This trick seems hard but all you need is a huge spine or double. Roll up to the jump with lots of speed, pop up and throw your feet over your left or right shoulder(whichever you perfer) but keep them on the pedals and remember to follow with your neck. Start doing that and you will realize you just did a backflip 360. After you have that mastered you will also realize you have lots of air left so why not just take 1 hand off but stay centered.

[alien_scream]

i saw this on the pinkbike.com forum and i though i might share it with you guys!!!!!!!!!

here goes!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so I see there's still lots of questions on different tricks and whatnot. A while ago we had a "Trictionary", basically I went through it, took all the ones I could, and put them into this one. Obviously I don't have every trick possible. If you have a good description of a trick (and please do make it good, it needs to be explanatory), please PM it to me, and I will add it to here. Hopefully this can be stickied. If you have a request for a trick, please PM or post it, and I will get one added.

The tricks are in alphabetical order. There is a description of the trick, and some have small tips at the end of the description/explanation. If you have a tip you'd like to add to an existing trick, PM it please. Also, if you feel you can provide a better description than the one given, PM it to me, I'll review and edit in the better one. Thank You.

So, without further ado, the list:

1 Footed Table
This trick is an easy variation from a regular table. If you have tables down then this is another easy trick to add to your bag of tricks. Approach the jump preparing to table, when your front wheel leaves the lip, start doing your table, right away kick your bottom foot out and then click your table nice and flat bay bending your top leg. Pull your foot and bike back into position and land smoothly.
Thanks to: RockyMt21

1 Footer
1. Decide which foot is best to take off. Make sure this foot is behind the other foot when coming up to the jump, and that the cranks are level. Air it out.
2. At the peak height of your jump, take off your best foot. This will cause your front foot to push down on the crank, which is normal.
3. Bring back your foot. Remember that the pedal is now higher up than when you left it. Your foot should come back to it naturally, but it does need a bit of help.
4. Land it.

1 hander
1. leave lip and level off
2. take your preferred hand of at the highest point in your jump
3. place back on and land smoothly
4. practice getting bigger

Abubaca
1.Depending on the length and slope of the run-in, you'll want a speed when your taking off about the speed of a jog.
2. A few feet before the object you will stall, you need to pull your front up high.
3.When your back tire is about a foot or two away from the object, pull your weight up and tuckyour back tire in, while leaning back.
4. To get off: Lean back farther, so your front moves upwards, then shift your weight on a 45 degree angle between up and back.
5. Tuck your back wheel in and push your front forward.
6. Then when you land, back pedal and turn your bars slighly, then brake or lock your cranks to spin 180 out.
TIP: When stalling, don’t worry about the lean. You should be just behind the centre of your back wheel (just above and back from the hub). Don’t forget to keep the brake locked until ready to get out of the trick!
Thanks to: Derek Manuge

Barspin
pull up the front wheel
-let go the left hand off the bars
-throw the bars with your right hand and release the bars when it has done a 90 degrees rotation
-bring your left hand palm near your right hand
-let the bar spin another 180 degree freely
-catch the bar with the left hand when it comes near you
-finish the rotaion with the bar in the hand
TIP: This is for a clockwise rotation. You may feel comfortable spinning the bars counterclockwise. If so, follow these directions, but in reverse (I.E throw the bars with your left hand, not your right.)
Thanks to: ushiro

basic whip
1. approch jump at normal speed
2. just as you leave the lip turn the bars slightly to the side
3. as the rear wheel leaves the lip push your legs out to one side and keep the bars turned
4. as you come in to land pull your legs back in and your bars level
5. land
TIP: This is also called a Moto Whip, as it is done a lot by motocross and such. Quite an interesting trick to learn, and can be used to tweak tricks.
Thanks to: Kona-Shreder_Tom

CanCan
1. Decide on the best foot to use. Should be the same one as you use for 1 footers. Air it out.
2. Just before the peak height of your jump, begin to take off your best foot and throw it over top of the top tube. By the peak height, your foot should be about as extended as it will get.
3. Bring your foot back and land it.
TIP: This is a nice variation of a 1 footer. Practice the 1 footer before attempting. You can also style this trick by making it a No Footed CanCan, which is listed below.

Crankflip
To start, get ready by bending your knees. I ride left foot forward, if you ride right foot forward, just do the opposite.

So, your standing on your pedals, knees bent. Your pedals should be somewhat even, but with your back foot pedal up a little bit from centered. Build up and store pressure in your back foot, the foot that will do almost 100 percent of the work. Go to jayhop like you regularly would, but as your lifting the bars up and exterting pressure downwards on the pedals, store that pressure up in your leg/ankle and suddenly release it, causing your foot to kick downwards. Move that front foot out of the way. Thats basically all the work your front foot does, you need to time it so that it moves out of the way just as you "pop" your ankle/leg downwards to make the cranks backspin. Your cranks will be spinning backwards. Bend your knees up towards your chest so they clear your spinning cranks. After they rotate 360 degrees, get ready to catch. This is the scary part, commitment. Catch more or less at the same time, but more with the front foot stopping the spin.
Thanks to: Tiltmode

FLAT GROUND 180
1. pick up your front tire, already starting the spin by about 10 degres(any speed)
2. look over your shoulder, spoting your landing
3. pick up your back tire, leval it out with your front tire, carry the spin around.
4. Land with both tires flat on the ground at the same time.
5. learn how to ride fakie before you learn 180's, when you land the 180 you will be riding fakie (backwards).
TIP: Turning your head and hips is key. Where the head goes, the body and bike will follow. Turn your head as far around as you can. Once you spot the landing, keep your eyes on it.
Thanks to: >STREET-KING<

Front Wheel Hop

1. Set your seat as low as possible.
2. Ride at a comfortable pace, not too fast.
3. Lock your front brakes doing an endo, leaning far back but a high endo.
4. as soon as you get your bike up quiet a ways, jump up pulling your bars, like a bunny hop, just on the ground, not forgetting to lift off the pedals bringing the bike with them from the bars, and jumping your body.
5. practice and practice, and to make it look good, on your last hop pull the bars back and land on the ground in one hop, not letting ur bike just roll down to the ground.
6. Practice doing this on curbs, objects, and small stair sets.
TIPS:
1.it helps to have a light fork, set up stiff and springy to help you get off the ground more.
2. PRACTICE! dont give up, over a week of practice and confidence you WILL do this.
Thanks to: HaroRacer82


Fufanu --stall rear wheel to 180 off--

These are easiest to learn on something without a really vert wall like quarters, try it on banks first. Progress at your own speed
1. approach at comfortable speed
2. lift front wheel and turn like 20 degrees so that when you stall on your rear wheel, your bike is on an angle
3. when you go to do your spin off, lean with your shoulders until you start turning. When you turn your shoulders, the bike will start to turn with them.
4. lift your rear wheel and use your foot thats furthest back to push the rear end around, land and roll away
TIP: Similar to the Abubaca, but without the spin before the stall. You can roll out of these by doing a 180 and rolling out straight, or go straight back and roll out fakie.
Thanks to: ParkFun

J-Hop
1. Find a good stretch of pavement leading up to a curb. Accelerate to a jogging speed, or slightly faster (but only a little). Aim straight for the curb.
2. Going straight, pull up on the handle bars so that you get into a manual position, with your butt hanging over the center of your wheel.
3. Pull up the rear wheel and level it with the front. The higher your front wheel, the higher your whole hop has the potential to be.
4. Land it.
TIPS: Start small. Curbs are excellent practice. Get good at hopping up those, and progress bigger. The best principle to keep in mind is that your front wheel should be at least as high as the object you are trying to hop up onto.
Thanks to: TrevInCanadia

Manual
1. pull back on bars whilst covering the back brake, lean back as far as possable
2.make it so you very nearly flip but control with the back brake
3. move your hips back and forward for balance.
4. another good tip is to try and sit on the back wheel, it worked for me!
TIP: When you feel you are about to fall off the back, pull the rear brake, but not too hard. If you pull too hard, the front wheel will fall, and the manual is over. However, if you lightly press the brake, you will retain control and keep going.
Thanks to: Kona-Shreder_Tom

No Footer
1. ride at the jump at the speed you feel comfortable.
2. hit the jump
3. Kick your legs out as fast as you can
4. dont think about your feet, they will come back them selfs
5. land. (whith your feet on the pedals)
TIP: When going to kick your feet out, bring them up first, about 1 to 2 inches. If you don't and kick straight out, your cranks will often spin, making it hard to bring your feet back.
Thanks to: Adri99DJ

No foot cans
Go of jump at a fairly good speed.
Let the end of the bike sink down a few inches, throw preferred leg over top tube, kick out both feet, bring both feet back planting the foot on the side that wasn’t thrown over the bike on the pedals first, then allow other foot to get over top tube and place on pedal, by this time when you land you should have your both feet on the pedals. and if you don’t, then one of your feet at least while be on and you should be able to walk away unscathed and ready to try it again.
TIP: Try other easier variations first, such as the no footer, and a regular cancan. Make sure to have a good grip on the bars before throwing out the legs.
Thanks to: Zion - I

No Hander
1. Air out the jump.
2. Pinch the seat with your knees/thighs.
3. At the peak height of the jump, take your hands off the bars and extend out each side.
4. Bring hands back to the bars, land it.
TIP: Some prefer to pinch the seat first before taking the hands off, others do both at the same time. It's just a matter of doing what feels most comfortable for you. Also, some wait to pull off their hands until just a moment before they land, and actually land no handed, riding it out. This is difficult to learn, but fun to do once learned.
Written by: TrevInCanadia

Nose Manual
1. For beginners, find a short hill (about 4 or 5 meters long), with a decent incline.
2. Approach the hill with no more than a jogging speed.
3. The key is to feather the front brake once on the hill, with just enough brake force to lift the back wheel, but not too much so as to go into and endo.
4. Try to hold the manual down the entire hill.
TIP: DON'T PANIC! Once you lift your back wheel and begin the nose manual, you cannot add any force to the brake except to keep the manual going. If you panic, you can/will lock the brake and send yourself over the bars.

Suicide No Hander
1) approach the jump at a comfortable speed
2) hit the lip and get control of the bike
3) grab the seat with your knees and squeeze you ankles into your cranks
4) let go off both hands at the same time
5) pull back arms behind your back and do a clap motion (1 clap)
6) then bring them back and get ready for the next double
TIP: Try taking the jump, and without taking the hands off, pinch the seat. Get comfortable pinching the seat before attempting. Also, try 1 handers first, try your left first and then your right (or right first, just try both hands.) This trick is also called a Clapper, or a Clap No Hander. A simple variation of a regular no hander.
Thanks to: Bleed Black Label

The Table top
1.approch a jump that will give you a good kick with normal speed
2.just as your front wheel leaves the lip turn it to the side slightly
3.pull your legs up to the side, also lean the already turned bars as vertical as possable, they will turn up naturally.
4. fold out and land grinning.
Thanks to: Kona-Shreder_Tom

Three Star
This trick is a combination of the 1 hander and No footer.
1. Just as a 1 hander, decide which hand you will be taking off in the air. Air off the jump.
2. At the peak height of your jump, take off your 1 hand and throw it out, and also take off your feet and throw them out, all in 1 smooth motion.
3. As you begin to sink for the landing, bring back the hand and feet all at once.
4. Land.
TIP: Practice the 1 hander and No footer separately before attempting.


Tobbogan
1.just as a 1 hander.....
2. grab your seat and hold it there for as long as possible...
3. for extra style turn bars 90 degrees
4.let go and find yer bars
5.land, jobs a gud'n
Thanks to: Kona-Shreder_Tom

tuck no-hander
hit jump
get sorta vertical
pull bars into your waist
when you hands get there, let go, and continue the hands backwards or upwards
remove bars from waist
level out
go.
Thanks to: Draco


X-Up
1. Do a normal jump, make sure you have enough speed to get some air.
2.In midair hold on to your handlebars and turn them 180 degrees without taking the hands of them. (ie you cross your arms over)
3.Make sure that you return them before your land (its really not fun if you land while you turn the bars)
4.Land

GREAT LIST of Twicks!

I ll be ok in my life just learning to do the ff:

*5 footer drops
*Manual
*long wheelies (ala AlienScream...grabe)

[budbender]

*15ft drop = broken tail bone n broken frame
Just look for a house with a 2nd floor terrace or sumthin drop it yank the bars firmly as if milking a goat.. ;D then scream for a medic.

*30ft drop =dislocated collar n shoulder broken pride
This stunt requires massive body armors, full face helmet and 180 pounds of pure insane. Launch firmly onto drop as if normal 5 footer drop...... ......and brace for impact.
Do not panic when sumthing is broken.....then scream for a medic. ;D

*Cliffside Eject =injuries may vary depending on factors
When ur bike collides with any solid or unmovable object one's desire to seperate from his machine may be accelerated...... thus the best maneuvre for this is too grab the trees or safety nets to avoid further "plummeting to the earth" scenes.........nyahahahah ;D When u dnt hear anything its time to scream for a medic. ;D

*Double 360 no-hander tree slam = thats why they developed hydraulics people! thats why! ;D ;D ;D
Upon impact release handlebars and spin like jackie chan in mid air and hope u dont anything that'll break ur spirit.. ;D ;D ;D

*Ground can-can switcher nac-nack = this is where ur shinguards n short pay their dues........ ;D
This trick is normally done when abruptly hit in the family jewels thus dismouting ur legs from the pedal and therefore allowing your bike to drag u all over the trail ;D


sigh thats prolly all i know............... ;D ;D ;D ;D

How to learn the "Track Stands"

A track stand is the act of balancing on a bicycle while not moving forward. Newcomers often want to learn this skill after observing how skilled riders at traffic lights keep their feet on the pedals while waiting for the light to change.

Skilled riders may show off their talents, track standing with no hands on the handlebars while eating a banana -- using body weight and lean to control the bicycle.

To initially learn this skill, try the following:

---Aim to track stand for just a second or two. Then try for 5 seconds; then 10.

---Find a slight uphill. We will use as an example the slope of a cambered roadway. In North America,
this generally means you are on the right side of the road and your front wheel will be pointed to the left.

---Focus 50 or more feet ahead, 5 feet up.

---Slowly stop the bicycle.

---Turn the front wheel toward the upslope, angled about 45 degrees.

---Shift your center of mass forward. Move forward on the saddle or move forward and stand with knees bent.

---Shift your hips to the downslope side. In North American example, this is to the right.

---Keep cranks and pedals level (horizontal). The front crank, on the upslope side, is approaching the 3 o'clock position. In our North American example your left crank will be forward.

---Place your hands in the drops to start. Later you can have them on the hoods.

---Pull slightly with your right hand.

---If you sense that you are falling toward the upslope, slightly relax pressure on the forward pedal, slightly relax the pull with your right hand, or center the wheel slightly.

---If you sense that you are falling toward the downslope, slightly increase pressure on the forward pedal, pull slightly more with your right hand, or turn the wheel slightly more.

---As you master slight inclines, learn to do track stands on level ground, steeper inclines, and declines.

Congratulations! You have mastered this skill when you can consistently track stand for one minute.
