Dirt Jumping and Freestyle How-To's
Note: Some of these may have been hard to explain... Hope it helps!
Barturn
Get some air off a jump, then turn your handlebars sideways
quickly.  Depending on your air you may be able to hold this longer.
Most people turn their bars to the right.  Start small, then pull them off
bigger.
One Footer
Get some air off a jump, then take one foot off your pedals.  when
you do this your crank will rotate, so you will have to land your foot
back on differently.  Start by barely taking your foot off, then get
bigger and bigger!
One Hander
Get some air off a jump, then take one hand off your handlebars.
Practice this by taking your hand off a little further each time.  Just
remember to get your hand back on in time!
Table Top
Go off the lip of a jump, then turn your handlebars sideways and lean
your bike and body to the other side.  Get bigger as you progress.  Its all
in the legs, good luck!
No-Footer
Go off the jump, and right when you get in the air take both feet off.  Make sure
the crank arms are horizontal when you do this.  Lift up and them kick them to
the sides.  This will lessen the rotation of the crank.  Bringing them back can be tricky. 
I find landing my feet back on the crank arms instead of the pedals easier as you won't
slip your pedals as much.  Pull them off bigger as you progress.
X-up
While enjoying some air, turn your handebars 180 degrees so the
front of your bars are facing you.  Lean back behind your seat.  Now
your arms will be crossed like an 'X'.  Just remember to bring your bars
back or you will get hurt (maybe!).
180's
Aproach a jump at slow/medium speed.  Right at the lip of the jump
shift all your body weight sideways.  If you do this right, you'll land
backwards.  After you land, you will have to pedal backwards a crank
or two.
360's
These are much harder than 180's to perfect.  This time shift your
weight harder.  If you do it right you will spin all the way around and
land frontwards.  You might a bit more speed, but it takes time.
Barspin
First off you need a gyro or a long front brake cable.  Then get some air, pinch your seat with your knees and spin your handlebars around 360 degrees.  Dont let the bars catch you in the gut!
Superman
Get alot of air, then take off both feet and kick them back.  While
attempting this make sure your bike is somewhat vertical in the air. 
Superman-Seatgrab
Do the superman, but this time take off one of your hands (whichever
feels comfortable), and grab your seat.  Then get all 3 limbs back on
and land it!  Good luck.

Nothing
This is where your hands and feet aren't touching your bike.  Go off the jump then quickly kick your feet out to the sides, then take your hands off and throw them out to the sides.  Now nothings touching your bike.  Then put your hands back on then feet, now land it.

Turndown
This trick is where you turn your bars 180 degrees and your bike is straight up vertical.  You should also be standing almost upright as you would on the ground with your back somewhat bent.  Master x-ups and you should get this trick with a bit of time and practice.  This ones hard to explain.

Decade

This is similar to a tailwhip except your body goes around in a 360 degree turn with your handlebars instead of the back of your bike.  This means you will have to get up off your seat and swing yourself around the front of your bike pressed against your handlebars and spin with them.

Can-Can
Once you hit the jump take the foot you do one footers with and kick it over your toptube of your frame onto the other side of your bike.  As you get better you will be able to stretch this further.  Just remember to bring your foot back.
