540 Airs, I`d prefer 900`s but I thought I`d be realistic  :daumenhoch:

I don't know about a big air but I'd just settle for air all by itself. Going to conquer it this year though.

to be honest i would be happy to ride in a straight line.

Twenty years on and I'm trying to do endos properly.

Any trick would be good.

Cherrypicker would be cool, but will settle for dropping into a halfpipe :)

Title: Re: If you could do one trick
Post by: winnit93 on April 04, 2006, 02:53 PM

the wheelie really is the trick for me.

Title: Re: If you could do one trick
Post by: toooldforthis on April 04, 2006, 02:56 PM

Some air out of a quarter pipe and a safe landing would be the holy grail for me  :daumenhoch:

At this point I would be happy to own a 20" bike and ride down the street, But I have to remember, baby steps.  That is the trick I hope to accomplish first.

It does take a bit of time to get back in to it Andy, just get plenty of padding, and wear it !  I had a 20 year break from bmx, in fact from all bikes really, but I`m enjoying it more than ever  :daumenhoch:

tail whip jumps

Title: Re: If you could do one trick
Post by: greentoad on April 04, 2006, 06:15 PM

Hi all

Flatland for me - I'm hoping to master the no handed wheelie again this year. I can now wheelie for hundreds of metres (until I get bored), go in circles, do one handers, wheelie from a standing start straight away, and also wheelie from a backhop / endo, plus wheelie and spin the bars 180 degrees, land it then spin it out without falling off ( ;D crashed a few times though).

I would also like to be able to get around a bike, onto the front wheel balance for minutes and lay it down etc every time without putting a foot down. I have picked it all up again but need the finesse now and also to know what the terms / names are.

How about some comps at the summer Rad meets - i'm up for it and on me Burner too  :D

J.

Just mastered the rockwalk 23 years on! Used to love wheelies but these damn new school bikes don't let you sit down!!!! Oh for the days of a renthal laid back post! Gotta go modern tho and am starting to get me ass over the back wheel and manual!!!!!!!
 360 on the flat is another old fave. Still dreamin'  :D

Title: Re: If you could do one trick
Post by: MartyC on April 04, 2006, 07:01 PM

Can still pull bar endo's and a 360 tailwhip, but would really like to be able do a cherry picker, could never do them bitd and still can't!  Alternatively riding the ramps again, not done it yet but intend to during the summer  :daumenhoch:

I very nearly gave up this time around after being back on the bike, or should I say arse, for two weeks. I built a 85 Haro master and turned up to the Rom jam in 2004 and spent almost the whole time on the floor  :(

I went back two weeks later after I had recovered and still couldn`t do a thing, and thought to myself that I`d made a big mistake and should give up trying, but out of the blue I pulled a 540 kickturn and that was it, I was back  :daumenhoch:

Post by: Flaz on April 07, 2006, 10:55 AM

first of all to all of thee who are just getting back into it tiny steps is the way forward, all the more experienced riders will tell you this (listen to them! I never  :-\ ) and its true the older you are the longer it takes to heal
jan 29th  I fell off and im still not riding and im in agony everymorning! :(

but  the one trick I would most like to be able to pull would be a flare transfer like what mirra does in that vid in our vid section or what  morgan wade done at last years back yard jam (awsome  :4_17_5:  )

in reality this year bunny hop bar spin is my target (no air for me it hurts to much ) and manuals
