Just wondering if anyones got a particular trick from back in the day that you never managed to nail!?For me it was the cherry picker.....looked so easy, but never nailed it!! grr!I could get up there, fully into position, but then would just end up coming back down before i got the chance to balance out and hop.Gave up after my 345,028th attempt...
Whats the trick called where you jump of your pedals, still holding onto the handlebars spin around 360 with the handlebars and land back on the pedals??

Also, whats the name of the trick where you turn the handlebars 90 degrees, roll the bike forward so the end of the handlebars touch the ground. One hand is holding onto the other end of the handlbar and your bum is sitting over the back wheel which is up in the end.

Getting into them is actually pretty easy, but coming back out it's all about the timing...cos if you are still holding the seat when the back wheel touches down you kinda fall off the back of the bike and look a twat Alex mentioned Switzerland Squeakers earlier in the thread. I fully had them dialled when i was about 10 and it's one of those tricks i never seemed to lose. Can still do them with or without front brake, although with is obviously a lot easier.Another one i can't get is rolling forwards on front wheel with both feet on pedals (can't remember name of that one...might just be nose wheelie or something?)I always put too much / not enough pressure on front brake. Bloody annoying..
So much I wanna learn before I head out to England next year. I need to learn tailwhip airs, barspins, and backflips first. then move on from there.
only ever did pedal pickers with a coaster, sod that with a freewheel
