"trick" tips... not "track" tips.

If you were trying to be a smart***, shoulda said, "Yeah, try the BMX forum."

Bikes: Check the sig to find out

besides practicing and studying how others do it, what tricks are you specifically talking about?
I can do:
3 point turn reverse
reverse circles (here's a lil; i only did one because i was focusing on just reverse riding in general https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRdqzb21nTc
but now i'm trying to learn how to do it with no hands but its a tuffy)
180 skid
360 skid
hockey stop
trackstand (incl one hand, no hand)
one foot on pedal, other on front wheel trackstand
bunnyhop (nothing serious but it gets the job done)


which one you need help on?

I usually practice my far-less-advanced stuff under 95 between Washington and Christian. Maybe I should check out the deck hockey rink.

Uhh that equals 450 and he clearly ended up at 360. I think you meant 90 revert.

For no-handed track stands, sit your @$$ down. In fact, I couldn't do a normal track stand until I sat down and stopped trying to do it standing. I guess I just needed to be more relaxed.
