Can you pedal hop? Can you Bunny hop(Front and then rear, not both at the same time)? Can you surge? Can you sidehop? Nosepick? Manual? Catwalk (wheelie while sitting down, has many names)?

I know there are many more, but I'm just wondering what tricks people here have mastered.

Whats a pedal Hop?

wethepeople

Pedal hop: If your defintion is the same as mine, yes.
Bunny hop: yes, and your defintion is wrong, at least in these parts. A j-hop is front then back, a bunny hop is both at once
Surge: dont make stuff up.
Sidehop: about four feet.
Nosepick: I try not to.
Manual: yes.
Catwalk: yes.

i can pedal hop, manual, wheelie while sitting down... thats the easiest in my opinion

Jason222

Pedal hoping is when you get on the rear, lock the wheel and keep it in the air for a spilt second, unlock it, and give a quick pedal stroke. It forces you forward, and you pedal hop.

Surging has many other names, like pedaling up, or japslaping. Confused? Get info here:

It's also known as Pedal Kicking (pedal hop). Check out these vids:

I've always called it a pedal kick, and yes I can do them.

Bunny hop: no, I swear I will never be able to do it.
Surge: huh?
Sidehop: no
Noespick: yes (without bunny hoping)
Manual: yes
Catwalk: yes

arboc!

i can do all of these so called "tricks".

MadMan2k

Bunny hop? Sort of, not high enough to do anything useful. Pedal hop or surge? Not properly. Sidehop? Not very well. Nosepick? Somewhat. Manual: Not far. Catwalk? Farther than manual, but not very far.. maybe 100 feet if I do it right.

This is a vid from almost 2 months ago of me fooling around on my bmx bike - nothing good really:

Bunny hop: Yes
I don't see any uses for the other "tricks" when I ride.

I can also ride with no hands.

Wow those videos were insane. I can't do any of those tricks and I'll probably break something if I try.

Hopper

Bunny Hop: yes about 40cm on my Dh bike and beater hardtail (but have never realyl tried on my hardtail, just got it working after 9months of not working today)
Pedal hop: Not well, I get the ideam can get on the rear but when it comes to the hop I get like 5cm of air and hardly any forwards movement
Side Hop: abotu 30cm
Surge: What the hell is this?
Nose Pick: yep
Manual: About 10m on a good day, still getting technique right, can coaster about 20m
Mono/wheelie: If I get it up properly I can probably go about 100m (sitting down), standing up I feel unco, can prob go abotu 10m standing up.

i can jump off my pedals and let my bike fly without me. i can also superman over my handlebars and land in a heap.

other tricks include: sidefalling - perfected especially going over technical uphill
sliding out - easiest trick ever when leaning at high speed over gravel
water duck - should be easy, all i need to do is find a body of water large enough to throw myself + bike in

For those who are confused about Surging, it's also called japslaping. It's when you use pedal stroke to get up something, it's like a sidehop forward, or a bunny hop using pedal stroke. Normally you don't use braking, but if you want to land on rear wheel and keep the front up, then you would. Here's a video of the basic surge/japslap:

I can do that to. What do you meen by nosepick?

sngltrackdufus

I have mastered the art/stunt of shedding off speed with my face lots of repetitions & callouses

arboc!

i think he meens a stoppy/endo/whatever

h2on0

When going up a steep hill clipped in, I can fall to the side and remain clipped in. Hurts a bit, but with a little bit more practice I'll have it down.

wethepeople

That cant be it.... To bloody simple.

arboc!

well, he did put wheelie on here, so its a posibility

obliterator

I can endo pretty good and If i'm feeling really good i might do some rotary phone dialers complete with a back dive and then I'll put it in reverse. yesterday I pulled a handlebar tree bonk and then proceeded to a back wheel balance maneuver I then took a hand of and grabbed the nearest vine to swing across the river. This trick works really well in xc races.

Hopper

A nose pick is a proper trick, it is like the opposite of an abacaba. You come up to a ledge or whatever you are going to do it on, bunny hop, put your front wheel on the ledge and balance on the wheel for a bit then hop off again. This is the same as an abacaba except for abacaba's it is the back wheel you balance on.
