CHECK OUT ALL THESE COOL TRICKS
Kick out
As soon as you leave the jump, swing the back of your bike either to the
right or left then bring it right back in. You can get away with landing a
little off center, but too much of a sideways landing will cause you to
crash. Start out small until you reach the full 80 swing. Be sure to land
with your bike straight. Throw in a bar-turn for style.

One Footer
Take your preferred foot off of the pedal while in the air, and put it back
on before you land. Start out by taking your foot off quickly and returning
it quickly, then start to keep your foot out there kicking it out.
Trick Brought to you by: Richard Carson
One Hander
Take your preferred hand off the handlebar while in the air, and return your
hand before you land. Try to keep your bars straight each time you do this.
Start out by doing this quickly, and then start to keep your hand off of the
bars a little longer each time.

X-up
Before trying this, make sure that your handlebars can clear your seat, and
spin around the whole way. Hit the jump, pull up, and twist your handlebars
180 so that your arms cross in the shape of an X. Snap your bars back
around, right before you front wheel touches the ground.

Can-Can
While in the air take your preferred foot off the pedal and over the top
tube. Before landing, take your foot back over the top tube and place in
back onto your pedal.
Trick Brought to you by: Richard Carson
Nac - Nac
A knick-knack is like a can-can, but instead of taking your foot over your
top tube, you swing your foot around the back of your bike and pull it over
to the other side. Before landing, take your foot and swing it back around
to catch your pedal.

Tabletop
This trick you can do to the right or left. For this example, I'll use
right. Push down on your handlebars to the right and turn them down to the
left at the same time, while using your right leg and lower body to push the
rear of your bike up and to the left into a horizontal position. Gradually
level your bike out more and more each jump, until you achieve a perfectly
flat position.

No Footer
While in the air, take both of your feet off the pedals and bring them back
before you land. Start out small and then kick them out a little farther
each time. You may want to tighten your cranks a little tighter, because
they will spin in the air, so your will have to catch your pedals. If you
don t feel that you are going to land it, just toss the bike and bail. When
learning this trick, wearing shin pads is smart, because no one is sure to
land a no footer every time while learning.
Trick Brought to you by: Richard Carson
No Hander
Pull up off the jump really hard and force your handlebars into your lap,
before you take your hands off, so your bike is in a near vertical position.
This will keep you from losing control, and your legs will hold the bike up.
Little by little, take your hands off longer each time. To land, level out
your bike and make sure that your hands are securely back on the bars.
Trick Brought to you by: Richard Carson
Superman
Pull up off a jump, take your feet off the pedals and kick them back while
straightening out your body. Hence the name, looking like superman. Before
you land, pull yourself back on the bike and put your feet back onto the
pedals. For style, take one hand off and grab the nose of the seat.
Trick Brought to you by: Richard Carson
Nothing
This means that you that your hands and feet off the bike while in the air.
Before even attempting a nothing I recommend learning to pull off a no
footer and a no Hander flawlessly. A soon as you take both your hands and
feet of the bike, gravity is going to kick in, so you might have to catch up
with your bike.

360
Before trying this off a jump, try it on flat ground. Do a bunny hop, but
before you start to pull up, turn sharply to either the right or left. You
won t come close to a full 360 , but you might pull a 180 or so. Now try
this off a small sized jump going at a medium speed, turning before you
leave the jump. Going slower, you can usually get by with an under rotation
of about 270 , but at higher speeds off bigger jumps, an under rotation is
less forgiving.

Toboggan
While in the air, lower the front of your bike down, take one hand off the
bars, grab your seat, and turn your front wheel with the other hand 90 .
Easier said than done.
Trick Brought to you by: Richard Carson
Bar spin
Before trying this trick make sure that your brake cable is long enough and
your bars clear the seat, or you have a gyro on your bike. Like a 360 , try
this one on flat ground first, and then take it to a jump. Pull up into a
manual, lean back and spin your bars 180 catching them before or right as
your front wheel lands. Then try a full 360 bar spin the same way but
whipping them around a little faster. You don t need a lot of air to pull a
full bar spin off a jump. Lean back and pinch your seat with your knees so
the bike is level and spin your bars. Make sure that you are familiar with
spinning the bars and catching them before jumping.

Turndown
This trick is where you turn your bars 180 degrees and your bike is straight
up vertical. You should also be standing almost upright as you would on the
ground with your back somewhat bent. Master x-ups and you should get this
trick with a bit of time and practice.
Trick Brought to you by: Richard Carson
Decade
This is similar to a tail whip except your body goes around in a 360 degree
turn with your handlebars instead of the back of your bike. This means you
will have to get up off your seat and swing yourself around the front of
your bike pressed against your handlebars and spin with them.
Trick Brought to you by: Richard Carson
Superman-Seat grab
Do the superman, but this time take off one of your hands (whichever feels
comfortable), and grab your seat. Then get all 3 limbs back on and land it!
Good luck.
Trick Brought to you by: Richard Carson
Manual
To manual all you have to do is lift your front end up and stop peddling.
Shift your weight back to stay up longer. This is effective for racing over
rollers and sometimes street riding. Its like a Catwalk without peddling,
but catwalks are stupid.
