Swivel · « **on:** July 24, 2007, 01:27 PM »

Yo, trying to compile this for just the sake of it and for the life of me, I cannot remember a lot of the old trick names i.e. ground and vert freestyle. Be great to get a complete list of names as I can't seem to find anything on the web, just new school trick names...

I'll start this off:

Cherry Picker
Endo
Bunny Hop
Table Top

Anymore?

Alot of them look like names for gay sex acts which is rather worrying

I'll ask huntedubber what they all mean when he's back from the annual Sanfransico cottageing festival

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.
