its where u stand on the back pegs, put one foot behind u and pull up and do a wheelie/manuel like that, basically a 1 footed manuel standing on the back peg

[Wotan]

Thanks a lot.

b-hop whip to a dork wheelie would look impressive.

barhops, trackstands

can someone explain what these are?

[Scorchy]

bar hop you jump from pedals over your handlebars and onto front pegs,

not too sure what a track stand is? maybe what it is i call it a different name

[Boon]

ya, thats what i thought....and thats an easy trick? :lol:

[Scorchy]

well, the after bit rolling on front pegs is, barhops can be easy if u have the guts to do it (which i dont) and is easier if u dont have cables over your handle bars (i seen people get caught on these and bail so bad), if you have bars like the KGB sarvets it can be easier as u have less height to jump

[Ante]

To practice barhops, it's good to take a stick, hold it with both handsand jump over it. After you get used to it jumping over the bars will be a lot easyer.

[Scorchy]

the thing with tht, is your hands move when u jump, try jumping walls instead, no movement there

yeah i hardly so any flat land but when i get bored and nothing else to do i go out and try some stuff... gyros help ALOT and since i have my cable not cut so its real long so i can still bar spin i always get cought it in. and i say easiest i have learnt is a foot jam tail whip... i learnt in less then a day of trying it once and a while.

[bmx4god]

i have been trying footjam whips and i cant get it down
i can get to about a 180 and sometimes almost all teh way around

[Korey]

way i learnt is just try to lean back a little to keep the back from smacking into the ground... this is coming from a non flatlander maybe a real flat lander can describe it better
