ALLEY OOP GRIND - back to list

• Ride up to the coping on which you'll grind, and do a 180 onto it.
• You should be grinding backward at this point.

BACK-UP PLAN "A" and "B" - back to list

• Raise your seat to a level comfortable for the rider (you) and if you want, turn it to one side (side-ways).
• Get to a certain fast speed (what-ever's good for you).
• Then, making sure you somehow hold onto your bars, lay on the seat with your back (plan "A") or lay on your seat with your stomach (plan "B").
• Then kick your feet out.

BUNNY-HOP - back to list

• Foundational for other tricks, a bunny-hop is getting both tires off the ground without a ramp or any other such tool.
• Simply pull up on the handle-bars, get the front tire high in the air, then use your legs to lift up the back wheel by pushing/pulling on the pedals.
• Then level the bike by pushing down on the handle-bars.

BAR-SPIN - back to list

• This trick can be done on the ground or in mid air.
• Simply spin your handle-bars 360 degrees in either direction.
• Note: Spreading your legs a little helps so the handle bars don't hit.
• Suggestion: Practice by doing a 180.

BUTTERFLY - back to list

• Do a bunny-hop and while in mid air, turn your handle-bars back and forth--that is to say 90 degrees to the left, then 90 degrees to the right.
• Note: This trick works better with a ramp cause of more air time.

CURB ENDO - back to list

• Come to a stop perpendicular to a curb and apply the front brake.
• At this point, push forward and down on your handle-bars, lifting the back tire off the ground.
• Note: Try to avoid going over the handle-bars.
• After a brief pause, set the back tire down and ride away.

DOUBLE PEG GRIND - back to list

• Bunny-hop onto an edge/surface and grind on the front and back peg as you're moving.

ENDO - back to list

• Roll forward and apply the front brake.
• As you do, push forward and down on your handle-bars, lifting the back tire off the ground.
• Set it down and ride away.

FEEBLE GRIND - back to list

• Bunny-hop onto a rail or wall, land on a back peg, and grind it as you're moving.
• Note: Your front wheel should be rolling along the top of what the peg is grinding along.

FOOT PLANT - back to list

• Ride up to a bench or wall, and bunny-hop toward it.
• When you reach it, take a foot off the nearest pedal to the wall or bench and slam it onto the bench or wall, all the while pushing yourself up and away from the object so that you land safely.

FUFANU - back to list

• While in mid air, pull up on the handle-bars and grab your back brake.
• Slam your back tire against a wall or onto coping.
• Lean toward your landing area while your tire is hitting so it's easier and safer to land.
• Then land on your front tire followed by the back.
• Ride away.

ICE-PICK - back to list

• Bunny-hop onto a wall, bench, rail or whatever, and land on your back peg.
• Hold it for a few seconds (not moving), then hop back down.
• Keep the front tire in the air and aim for a vertical position.
• It's the opposite of the "Toothpick."

ICE-PICK GRIND - back to list

• An ice-pick grind is an "ice-pick" with the peg grinding as you're moving.
• It's the opposite of the "Smith-Grind."

MANUAL - back to list

• Similar to a wheelie, although you don't pedal as you coast on the back tire.
• Use your body accordingly to keep momentum until your front tire drops.

NOSE-PICK - back to list

• Start with a bunny-hop.
• Hold the front brake and set your front wheel on whatever you're trying to do the nose-pick on (such as a curb or bench).
• Balance on the front wheel with the back wheel in the air for as long as you can.
• Then push off, land, and ride away.

PEG STALLS - back to list

• Bunny-hop onto something (coping, bench...) landing the front and back peg of either side of the bike.
• Lean into the coping, and stall for a while (suspended animation).
• Optional: Make some sort of gesture.
• When you finally decide, Bunny-hop back off by leading with your front tire when you're done.

SMITH GRIND - back to list

• Bunny-hop on to some sort of grinding surface.
• Let the back wheel roll across the top, and have the front peg grinding along the surface.
• It's the opposite of the "Ice-Pick Grind."

STUNTMAN - back to list

•  ADVANCED! You'll need mad air from a ramp for this one. While flying through the air, push the bike forward and grab the back pegs with both hands. Then push the bike back and resume the standard riding position (while in the air) - that is to say, put your hands back on handle bars and your ass above the seat...then just land it.

TOOTHPICK - back to list

• Bunny-hop onto the surface of your choice and land on your front peg.
• It's the opposite of an "ice-pick."

TRUCK DRIVER - back to list

• While in the air, fling your bike 360 degrees to the left or right (full circle) under your feet
• At the same time spin your handlebars full-circle (360°)...a simultaneous event.

TURN DOWN - back to list

• Approach a jump or ramp at medium speed
• As you take off, pull your handlebars up and toward you and turn your handlebars 180 degrees
• At the same time, look back whilst in the middle of the jump

TURN DOWN BACK-FLIP- back to list

• Approach a jump or ramp at a speed to complete a back flip.
• As you're in the process of executing the back-flip, turn your handlebars 180 degrees simultaneously, looking back whilst in the middle of the jump.

WHEELIE - back to list

• As you're riding forward, pull up on the handle-bars and pedal with only the back tire on the ground.
• It's the same as a "Manual" but also pedaling as you're doin' it.

X-UP - back to list

• While in mid air, turn your handle-bars 180 degrees to either side, then quickly turning them 180 degrees to the other side.
• It's the same as the "Butterfly," but the handle-bars are turned farther.
