I used to like these kind of tricks but at the moment I am too weak to do them now ;D
-
stood up wheelies, nothing comes close to cool-ness, never needed to use your rear brake, if you flipped it you ran with it ;D

I was on a twin top tube F u c k e r , so I could do it ;D

The classic & well known 'stand on one pedal & look a bit gimpy' appears to have been my fave.

Priceless :slayer:
-
Riding through Safeways in Andover (inside the actual shop)
And being chased by the Law quite a bit.
Not really tricks i know, but that was BMX for our little crew circa 1983.
-
love rockwalks
-
Back in the day it was mainly jumping off ramps and dirt jumps in billinge hill woods, but when we rode round the local junior school playground it was kerb endos with roll backs, stand up wheelies and sitting on the bars riding backwards.
I can still do kerb endos but can't roll back as far. :slayer:
-
I used to jump the dollies at Poole BMX track one handed.
This was after they were reduced in size though :daumenhoch:
-
Liking the old school pic's. :)
-
Ghost Rider :coolsmiley:

Matching your hair to your components is a bridge too far for me, I hope that doesn't catch on here...

360 for me. Was my signature move as a lad and I'm still trying to master it again :LolLolLolLol:
-
I was pants at everything other than rollbacks, endo's and kickturns.
We just used to kick about the streets and jump stuff :daumenhoch:
-
no foot can can`s were my favourite but sadly i don`t have any pic`s of me doing one , only one i have was of a indian air
-
loved framestands, endos and kickturns ... framewhips, boomerangs, power mowers ... no hand or no foot endos were my favs.

not really a tirck but the best rush I ever had was going to Wicksteed and just rising round the top of, then into the 18 footer.
Thought I was all that doing airs near the top until Chilly truned up and got 6/7 foot out ... 8)
