LOL at BMXTRIX, he can do everything lol
three words for you guys, I believe they'll speak for my experience: WEAR A HELMET!!!!! I can't stress that enough, you may feel goofy at first but you'll get over it, and trust me, no one that matters will think anything less of you. Another thing, wear shin pads, for the love of god. Mine look like a scene out of hamburger hill, now imagine if that had been my shins. One more thing, favorite trick to date is and always will be bunnyhop to manual (onto a ledge) manual the ledge, and bunnyhop off. Very basic, but very fun.

i dont wear a helmet......i know i should but i just dont feel the need
i personally dont think im at a high risk doing flatland then if i was doing vert
flatlanders don't need helmets as much, so I won't harp on that however I failed to mention, my shin guards are eaten up from my pedals and whatnot, but one look at my protec helmet reveals how many times its saved my butt!!!!

Trackstand (with several variations) into swivel into firehydrant into tailwhip into cricket into slider with barspin variation for landing. then into rockwalk and endo with hops. That's what i have down.

I can do backflips, 540's, Manuals, whips, barspins, x-ups, working on a KOD, but that is for the big bike, stalls, wall rides, working on a flair. I can do all of those on my Specialized Fuse IV and on my Kona Stuff.

I'm saying i do that all as one rutine, linked together, up to the rockwalk. there i break the flow. not all as a combo. the cricket slider barspin is a combo, though.

i can...wheelie. seriously thats all i can do right now. im trying to endo, but i have an impulse to tap my left foot on the ground before i put my right foot on the wheel. next week when i get my pegs ill learn to fork glide. and to scuff.
Mr.Noobie

oh yeah my mom makes me wear my helmet, no matter what im doing. i could go and get the mail, and id have to wear my helmet. i keep telling her its physically impossible to hit your head when your just biking slowly. id pretty much fall over first. but this next week ill get a new comfortable helmet to go with my pegs. i know how to accessorize.

haro_rider09
08-26-04, 08:28 PM
i dont know the real name.........its on a game lol

The name is a coasting or rolling lawn mower. If you are going in circles, it's a spinning lawn mower. If you are going straight and both feet are directly in line behind the bike then it's a one-handed x-up dork wheelie... or peg wheelie. Though, dork wheelie is the correct term.

ill have to figure out how to do that one, is it an u intermediate, expert or pro trick?
BMXTRIX
08-27-04, 05:32 PM
By itself? Intermediate really. It is the same as the ride into a time machine as shown on bmxtrix.com
jrt1990
08-27-04, 07:47 PM
i think on ur website underneith of all the trix there should be beginner, intermediate, expert and pro things to clik on so someone can clik on them and all of the beginner, intermediate etc trix will show up. just an idea for somethin kinda cool

bunny hop is really a trick
I don't see it as one, it's something you do to do a trick.. like you lift up(bunny hop)
at the top of a ramp, but jumping a ramp isn't a trick...
