Well First off i have a whoooooole lot of tricks under my belt so i'll tell yah what, if anyone needs help or tips with any tricks i can do this, i can either provide written advice with tricks, a solid picture of myself doing said trick, or a video Mind you id have to find my video camera


However i think everybody can learn, its easy enough and theres a couple sneaky ways to pull off some of the "bigger tricks" and learn them all without crashing (Much)

Basic thing to remember is, determination is the key, if you crash get back up and keep trying, as it is a very crash oriented sport, you may crash 1000 times but at one point you get it and you dont ever forget how, simple because you never forget how to ride a bike razz

So by all means post away with anything ud like to learn.

(Disclaimer) i cant help with barspins...my bars are too wide, and id like to have kids one day so i have yet to learn them

Ok so being nobody seems to have any questions i'll start with a few of my favorite tricks, starting off with the tuck no hander


Basicly to start with this trick, you launch out of something and catch atleast 4ish feet of air, whatever feels big to you, you pull the bars into your gut (not hard, as that hurts at times) then you lean foward which sticks the bars in between your gut and your waist, then you can start with either hand you feel comfortable with taking off, and putting it back on, then go with the opposite, after getting comfortable with both hands, try commiting to both hands. a trick for not punching break levers during the catch, is keeping all your fingers together, with your thumb out, basicly catch the bars with the inside of your thumb, then curl your fingers it completely takes away lever punch...and trust me it hurts, any more questions on this, dont hesitate to ask smile ninja

how can i get higher air? i pull up at the lip of the jump to where the handlebars are almost touching my stomach while i'm in the air. any tips?

Well for higher air, ive found its more speed and the ability to make your arms and knees more like shock absorbers, the trick for that is just keep them bent and don't be resistive to the impact from leaving the ramp or the landing, one reason for that is it will make it a much softer landing. also if you tuck the bike up, its a bit tough, think of it as just as you leave the ramp you bend your arms and pull the bike closer to you, be sure to bend your knees so you don't go off balance and land to far back or foward, nose dives SUCK! trust me its not fun.
