| START AT THE TOP FOR EASIEST TO HARDEST |
|
| Kick-out - To do a kick-out pedal up to the jump as you normally would. Once you get in the air swing your hips to the side that feel most comfortable as far as you think that you can. It works better if you start out small and then work your way up. Then before you land bring your back end back by swinging your hips the other direction. Then land as you normally would. Sometimes kick-outs will help you clear a jump if you don't think you are going to make it. It will give you a little boost to clear the jump. |
|
| One-footer - To do a one footer go normal speed up to the lip and pull up as usual. Then once you are in the air take your foot off and kick it in any direction. To learn these easier you can start by taking your foot straight up and once you get it down do it a little more every time Don't be afraid if your pedals rotate downward. It is normal. To help with this you can push your foot back to keep your pedals semi-level. Then return your foot to the pedal and rotate them back to your normal riding stance. Land normally. (It is really recommended to wear shin guards with this trick, because you will whack your shin a few times when you are learning.) |
|
| X-up - To do an x-up pedal normally up to the jump and go off normal. As soon as you get in the air you should start to to turn your bars. Stay loose when you do it because if you don't your back end will whip around and do a kick-out. When you reach the peak of you jump your bars should be turned as far as you dare. Then once you have them turned as far as you want turn them back and land as you normally would. |
