What was your favourite trick you did as a kid.........

Other than backhops.........I would constantly try Miami Hoppers

What was yours, and do you have any pics ?

Rock walks, I think they were called, kick turns and quite large roll backs.

I thought Miami hopper was a great old trick

paulb113 · « **Reply #13 on:** December 30, 2013, 04:32 PM »

I used to like these kind of tricks but at the moment I am too weak to do them now

stood up wheelies, nothing comes close to cool-ness, never needed to use your rear brake, if you flipped it you ran with it

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

Jaan · « **Reply #17 on:** December 30, 2013, 05:37 PM »

We used to cycle as fast as we can and somersault over the bars into the bushes

Anyone else do that classic?

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.

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.
