+1 to that. Look for "artistic cycling" on youtube.
I'm not that up on it, but as far as I know, BMX bikes aren't generally fixed-gear, so they don't do the pedaling-backwards stuff...that's Artistic Cycling, not BMX.
LOL again. If you ride backwards with a BMX using a freewheel, then you have to pedal backwards. THINK ABOUT IT FOR A SECOND.
