tricks' showing off

[Sethius]

hey i was wondering if any of you guys had any good tricks like without jumps? things like being able to bounce on the back wheel? stuff to amuse the town mass etc. besides crashing! i know its not a big part of freeriding but its something that makes a laugh. pretty much anything that is good to show off with...
and yes i would be out on the tracks rather than in town but you cant always get away... and and btw i ride a norco manik... which kinda limits things alil more

[CHEWY]

on flat ground, do a bunny hop 180, roll out fakie and spin around. Looks wickid, I've stuck like 2 out of 100 :o

[Disco]

lol im in the same situation. Theres no DJs in summer because all the sand dries out.
I Ride around doing manuals, (attempting) wall rides, bunny hop to manual traffic islands (attempting) and bunny hop to nose manual traffic islands (sort of, more like a bunny hop to nose bonk to little whip [avoids casing wheel on island] to bounce back on back wheel to a manual out). Looks classy, and all tricks you can do while just riding around town. JUST WATCH YOUR PEDALS ON THE NOSE MANUALS!!!!!!!!!
Good luck pimpin ;)

[zstreetco]

try some stuff like crank flips and wall footers (jumping off your pedals and kicking off a wall and back onto your pedals) its a lot harder than it looks, just ask Darkside he stacked it in a very public area ahaha but keep up the crowd pleasin'

[mustard]

fufanu and abubacka, rolling fakies stuff like that, just ride around the place and l'll find stuff

[VicRiders]

a nice long mono does the trick...

[LTR]

Unicycle!!!!! :D

[Reptileman]

Just learn to do some trials stuff, that always pleases the mass's!!

[hairy]

i like to pull really long mono's and nose wheelies. and the real crowd pleaser is the one handed mono:p i love that one.

[naz]

nose bonks without a front brake, find a gutter thats like metre or 2long, ride towards bunnyhop lean forward on nose then when ur at theend kick it into a manual

manual to abubaca

superman indian rolling along

one handed manuals

x-up abubaca

bunny hop and trye tap trees bins etc

[rtd]

If you're having trouble with the bunnyhop 180's, I suggest stoppy 180's then bouncing on the back wheel around again. I have trouble even doing that much (dont own a hardtail), but a few of my mates can do it and it looks the goods!

[W2ttsy]

backwards (fakie) nose manual for me. i love that one.

just hopping up stuff. chairs, traffic islands, and the like.

saw this one on drop in. stand on the saddle and manual. requires a squishie tho to get the front wheel up using the rear coil as the method.

no footed manuals/wheelies...

W2ttsy

[johnny]

I can do really long skids if I go really fast! :)


I want to manual, nose bonk abubac............ :o

[roasted]

180's of ledges, rep/prohop (nose first bunyhops), nose manuals, and manuals.

god I wish I could manual my BMX

[andy73]

go old skool. the no footed endo is the height of style and sophistication.

[patto_15]

if you can find some park benches or some thing try manual up to them bunnyhop up onto it into a manual then 180 off or something

[W2ttsy]

if you can find some park benches or some thing try manual up to them bunnyhop up onto it into a manual then 180 off or something

using your left leg to initiate the 180 turn. ala Aaron Chase in NWD4...

W2ttsy

[jeremyb]

No footer nose manuals, the only truly cool trick I can do but it rocks!

[binner]

forget pushi tricks........chug a pint of beer and then squirt it out your tear duct....chicks dig it.........

[emcgough]

ride up the side of trees, roll back down and pedal backwards pull the bars round and ride out of it. also put your front wheel on stuff like ledges, benches and stall, then bunnyhop out of it or turn down out of it.
it's really hard at first, but you learn quick...

[Superman]

just watch some aaron chase stuff.

and rick, just go play on the little kicker thing at the mansfield skatepark. when your front wheel gets to the top, pivot 180, then on your back wheel, then drop in to the other side, and wheelie or manual out of it, it would be making something that looks really good, out of something pretty ordinary.

[dvious]

yeh manuals, abubuca's, 180's all look the goods. just takes some time to get them right, but once you do the chicks will be lovin it .

[donthucktoflat]

backhops alway please people, especially if you lunge off something then turn around and go back up it:p

[pilot]

abubuca's????????

[wooley_89]

yer, its where u bunny hop up onto sumthin and lock up the abck wheel and sit on the abck wheel on the ledge or bench for a second then back wards bunny hop off it turn around a keep riding, jsut like a stall, but on the back wheel.

isnt it? lol

[Sethius]

thanks guys, keep the ideas coming. sam your idea sounds managable. i just got to practice the whole 180 pivot stuff. my mate did a nice one simple just involved momentum in a way. bunny hopin off side ways then a few hopes round then front wheel up then back wheel, do it fluenting enough and looks pretty cool.

[Mugger]

1 footed manuals :cool:

Man generally anything can impress the general public, a sick bikes get their attention and then doing something basic (sick in their mind) gets them cheering ;)

one handed manuals, no handed manuals, bar spin manuals,

got alley oops in half pipe today hella stoked, n 270's over hips.

bunnyhop manual up a ledge then manual then abubaca another ledge, roll fakie till u get back to the original ledge pivot 180 then pedal kick off.

manual ur front wheel into crossin road buttons,

manual to touchup(manual towards a ledge, let ur front wheel just touch the ledge then throw ur bike directly up and inf u did it right ull land in another manual)

hooo haaa (find a ledge, bunnyhop but instead of landin in a manual throw ur weight forward land on ur front wheel then rock directly back to manual)

bunnyhop a tyre tappin objects.

manual to drop to manual, find a ledge about 3ft high manual towards edge, as the bike hits the edge lean back more and sstand up as u land feather the brake so u dont flip out

[roasted]

alleyoops asre a ton of fun

heres one I've been trying recently, 360's off drops, can get just past 270 off about two foot.

tomorrow...

[matt99]

Just run into a whole heap of people, thats usually gets their attention. And if it doesnt, turn around and run into them harder.

[dave jp]

25 metre stoppies, stoppies down stairs and no-footed stoppies

[patto_15]

try wheeling through traffic lights dow a hill. it gets peoples attentoin. going 40+ km\h down a road on a back tire.

[DYJK]

on flat ground, do a bunny hop 180, roll out fakie and spin around. Looks wickid, I've stuck like 2 out of 100 :o
Thats my favourite thing right now! Can stick it almost every time now! :p
Also riding backwards down steep hills and fakieing out is cool! wallrides on random walls...and random stalls! barspins, just like pull a nofoot can while riding down a hill! manuels especially when you pump around corners like Jamie Bestwick and Rubern Alcantra....freaks...What ever you do pump like you want it! :D And also pull no food nose manuels!

[roasted]

when you start trying them off drops, they look rad and are tons of fun. unfortunately if you fall off a narrow ledge and bash your wrist in the process, it isnt that great.

[Icarus]

I know, just ride around with your credit card statment stapled to your back. Then EVERYONE knows how hardcore you are...

The best i can do is a short manual to press the traffic light button with my front wheel. (pathetic I know.)

Your right though. I'm riding along talking bikes to my friends and they say
"Well, do something really cool." and i'm stumped.
This Thread really helped me out.
Is there a website with lessons and vids and stuff?

[exvitermini]

try front flips if that doesnt get their attention stick ur finger up & ride off

[Mahoney_007]

Well the little kids on their BMXs around here like to see wheelies, Ive done them around the local soccer pitch and around a basketball court, yes thats right around them, behind both goals and along the side lines, and stop in almost the same spot you take off from. They love it.

Or pedal kicks (or "do a pogo" as Ive heard the little wippers yell).

Riding along a ledge 180 pivot on the front wheel, drop the rear wheel to the ground whilst flickin the front off the edge then quickly change your weight so your now balanced on the rear wheel and wheelie off in the opposite direction. Must have a cool name but Im not up on the lingo

As soon as my bike is fixed I'm gonna try that 180 bunny hop to fakie thing sounds doable.

[Jordy]

180 to fakie and halfcab back, 270's and almost 360s (still landing a bit sideways on rear wheel and moving around) on both flat ground and off gutters, Barspin off drops, Disasters (but most end up in me getting hurt), Abubwhatevers nd fufanus, wallrides, fast plant on Wallrides/Tree wallride thing I made to 180's (only landed a couple so far) tried alot of 360 fakies but have only aced a couple. I just spent 2 weeks of riding in my mums town, in which has thorns everywhere except for on Tar roads and after 2 punctures in 5 minutes I decided to just ride around the streets....so I only learn alot of those things last week

Sorry i dont know how to d o a quote properly :confused:

agreed v.funny shit.

scar's.... ppl love to see the damage after youve slid along on your face.

dont tell 'em your trying to do a manual... just lift your shirt and show 'em the 30cm square scab where your back use to be.

well... thats what i did :(

[profaine]

I just did my first bar spin today, pretty happy about that I think that should be a bit of a crowd pleaser. I also do 180 endo's which are ok.

[scottmeister]

I just mono or manual for insanely long distances at high speeds.

[chandler_mate]

no handed endos - the pinnacle of style

[six9man]

r u sure about that

sounds very impossible to me :p

[Ryan]

r u sure about that

sounds very impossible to me :p

Better not tell this girl, or this guy that...

[Arran]

I'm a bit old school with my tricks but (correct me if i'm wrong) no-one's mentioned the ol' no handed mono. Piece of piss (as long as you have a high seat and you're clipped in, XC style). I like the nose stoppy aswell. I can bunny hop on the spot or in circles for as long as my fore arms can hold out.

[six9man]

Better not tell this girl, or this guy that...

i was wrong
gee that is skilled

[sxereturn]

Actually, it's really basic.

[Octane_Matty]

well im a newb and anythwere you go, pull a high speed manual (anything above 25km/h) and your a crowd pleaser in no time.....little kids will cheer u on and well if theres hot babes probably better to get some air off a drop or down some stairs :p

[keepin it real]

for me its pulling a nice one-hando mono along the main uni road, and doing huge endos to backwards backhop for a few metres

[naz]

big abubaca or big bunnyhop to manuals

[FFUTS]

try 2-3 foot drops to a stoppie, so the back wheel doesn't hit the ground :) that really gets the ladies going

[MATT_82]

how do you guys bunnyhop and manual i cant do it i can drop but can anyone teach me how to manual and hop

[patto_15]

try bunny hop up something with a bar spin to manual

[freeride_this]

nice.. ill have to try some of that

[Dicky]

big long wheelies get a vote here too - around corners, or through a semi crowded area, where you have to weave through pedestrians.

I'm learning to manual - slowly.

[big_pete]

abubaca up something 180 to bar spin down..
180 barspin
wheelie x-up
backflip to nose manual to x-up to 180 wheelie to can can

[harrypowell]

no hollow star nut? HALF BARSPIN, THEN HALFWAY BACK !i! it's a fun thing to do on flat ground, p.s. if your going through a populated area, .eg. shops, etc. MANUAL!!! once you've learned to manual well its the best thing for showing off

[keepin it real]

too right it is mate! its the funnest thing to just bust out a huge maunual down the main street, and accros the crossings!

[Chalkie]

Hahahh even better than a manual, pull out a fat nose manual. They always look sweet, unless you pump a bit too much brake and launch youself over the bars :D. Another sweet thing to do just riding along is to find a small wall about 3 foot high or so, ride along side it, jump off your bike onto the wall run along wall and then jump back on. Do it right and it looks pretty sweet

[cornflake]

nose bonks without a front brake, find a gutter thats like metre or 2long, ride towards bunnyhop lean forward on nose then when ur at theend kick it into a manual

manual to abubaca

superman indian rolling along

can can rolling along

[W2ttsy]

railing it around corners looks pretty cool.. or a huge nose manual...

hmmm, i tried a nose manual down a set of stairs.. failed about 4 times, but finally got it... was worth the pain, and the laughs from others...

[Buttts]

TRICK ONLY FOR SINGLE CROWN FORKS WITH LONG CABLES
it is kind of a bmx flatland move, but i think that is kind of what you're after.
roll along at a medium pace and put your (depending on which side you like best) right foot over the top tube and into a bit of a can can thingo. then jam that same foot in between the front tyre and fork and do a bit of an endo.
now the hard part.....with your right foot on the left side of the bike, use your left leg to push the bike around 180 and you spin to meet it there.
this is pretty trippy and if you over balance you look like a wank. but practice at home and then go bust one out in an urban assult :D
