First off then switzerland squeacker & cowboy

switzerland squeaker. an easy one to start with as it's the pic on my avatar. ;)
endo onto the front wheel, put both feet (or just one for beginners) on the tyre and start scuffing the tyre so the bike is rolling backwards.
cowboy (some people call a miami hopper a cowboy too) - but with a cowboy, you do an endo and turn your bars 90 degrees. put a foot on either side of the forks on the tyre. lean back and take your hands off. basically a no handed endo...

aren't the leary and judge the same thing? a not very tweaked turndown???
or is a judge a jump where you have front wheel way higher than back and your balls somewhere up against the bars????
love the kiss pic... one of my favourite pics from bitd is of me and my old riding buddy kissing, but damned if I can find it.....

more complicated tricks now...
Caboose - left foot on left peg. the bike sort of just over vertical on your back wheel and behind you. right hand either on the forks or front peg. use your right foot to scuff the back tyre (around the chainstay area) in a forward motion.
Stubble Duck - Is a version of the lawnmower. left foot on left peg as if your doing a lawnmower. but pivot your whole body 360 on your left peg passing the bike behind you.

Cheers trev,how many of these tricks can/could you do?
priv

now days very few, but bitd most of them. :angel:
i was one of those riders that tried to learn every trick. the thing is i use to try and learn a trick until i pulled it a few times then moved on to the next trick. there were too many i didn't perfect. i could do most flatland tricks, but a lot of them i may have only pulled say once in about 5 or 10 attempts. i could do practically every trick the top pro's used to do on flat. that is all well and good when messing around, but in competition when you need to pull off around 15-20 different tricks without putting your foot down at all, it was practically impossible for me. that was my biggest downfall in competition.
i guess i should have got video footage of me bitd. i could have put together a compilation vid of all my flatland tricks and really blown your socks off, but in reality each trick may have taken 10 or more takes before I pulled it. That's why i am more impressed with watching videos of competition runs although you will get a better vid of a free session which is edited. when i see clips of someone pulling a really big trick, i sometimes stop and wonder how many attempts it took before the final shot was taken...

nice one trev :daumenhoch:
