How to Ride Street | ||||||||||||||
Note: Some of these may have been hard to explain... Hope it helps | ||||||||||||||
Bunny Hop While riding slowly, position your pedals so they are level to one another. Then lift yourself and your bike so you are off the ground. Hold tight onto your handlebars while doing this for better results. Its best to lift your front tire before your back. This is essential for all jumps. Endo While riding very slowly, hit your front brake and lift your back tire off the ground. Lean forward. Dont worry about going over your handlebars! Manual These are great if you dont grind. Pedal at any speed. The faster you go the further you will usually manual. Lift up for front end and bring your body back behind your seat and pump using your legs keeping your front tires up off the ground. Make sure your knees are bent and your arms are straight. If you think you are going to loop out and land on your back tap your rear break. |

Stair Gaps/Drop Offs 1. Approach the stairs or drop off at a speed your comfortable at. 2. When you reach the top of the stairs/drop off pull your bike up. 3. Keep steady while dropping. 4. Lower your back wheel before you're about to hit (so your back wheel hits before the front wheel). 5. When you land compress the shock w/ your knees. Feeble Grind 1. Approach a ledge or whatever you're planning to grind on your preferred side at a comfortable speed. Not to slow or you'll fall off whatever you're grinding. Not to fast or you might wreck real hard. 2. Bunny hop and get you're back peg grinding and then set your front wheel down on top of what you're grinding. 3. When you run out of speed jump off of whatever you're grinding to the side. Ice Pick Grind 1. Same as feeble grind but don't let you're front tire down. Keep it off the ledge as if you're in a manual. Smith Grind 1. Approach a ledge or whatever you're planning to grind on your preferred side at a comfortable speed. Not to slow or you'll fall of the grind. Not to fast or you might wreck real hard. 2. Bunny Hop onto the obstacle and let you're back wheel land and then get you're front peg grinding 3. When you run out of speed jump off of the grind. Double Peg Grind 1. Same as above grinds but you grind using two pegs on one side of your bike. 180 and 360 Bunny Hops 1. The best way to learn these is off of curbs. 2. Don't go very fast. Ride at a medium speed parallel to the curb. 3. Turn your handlebars to the side opposite the curb and then back towards the curb. 4. Then jump off the curb and spin 180 degrees. Do the same thing for 360's but just spin the extra 180 degrees. If you can't quite spin the 360 degrees land back wheel and spin the rest of it on your back wheel . Peg stalls (Feeble/Smith/Double Peg) 1. Ride straight at the ledge, not alongside like you would if you were to grind it. 1. Do the same as all the grinds but go slower so you don't grind you just stick. 2. Stay in that position the desired length then jump off to the side. Tail Tap/Fufanu 1. Ride at whatever speed you're comfortable at. 2. Bunny hop onto something and land back tire. Keep you're weight back so you're front tire won't touch. But not so much that you'll fall off your bike. 3. Stall in that position until you want to jump off. 4. Then just jump off. Abubaca 1. Same as the Tail Tap except you jump off whatever you're on and land backwards and fakie out of it and ride away. Nose Picks 1. Basically just an endo. You can also do this w/ a no footer thrown in which is called a no footed nose pick. Toothpick Grinds 1. Basically a reversed icepick. You just use your front peg instead of your back peg. Roller Coaster Grind 1. This rarely used find two rails w/ a big enough space for your bike to go through the middle. 2. Bunny hop inside of the two rails and let all four of your pegs grind. 3. When you reach the end of the rails bunny hop off the rails and land back wheel first. Crooked Grind 1. This is when you grind w/ one peg on each side. Get your desired speed and bunny hop on the rail. Let one peg go over the top of the rail and catch on the opposite side then get another peg on the opposite side of the bike catch. 2. Do this until you reach the end of the rail and then jump off and land back wheel first. Wallrides 1.Ride at the wall at a comfortable speed (After you learn this trick you will be able to hit it at a faster speed as you progress). 2.Bunnyhop onto the wall, throwing yourself on a downwards angle. Keep your front tire higher than your rear and continue to lean downwards slightly so you dont slip off. Make sure you are leaning back a bit. 3.Now either jump off the wall or ride off it and ride away. A good way to learn this trick is on road barriers as they are slightly angled at the bottom. |
