When you're learning them you should try them like this: Land in the double peg with your weight a bit to the side that your about to spin, and you need to aim to land far away from the rail, like a metre away. And then once you can do them you will ... more »

People will say to do tricks whichever directions you like, which yeah, you can do that, but if you can switch what direction/side you are comfortable doing tricks, it is worth it. My switch bars were my regular once, but I just sat there spinning them ... more »

Pinching is good but it depends on how much you are pinching. For example when I learned hop bars I was so scared of taking my hands off that I pinched the seat really hard, this made getting a good hop and throwing the bars so much harder because I ... more »

From this attempt I see 2 problems - You aren't carving very much before you hop, if you carve the opposite way before you start the carve for the 180, then you'll have more room to carve. Your weight is too far to the left, work on landing with your ... more »

A modern completely-street bike nowadays would go something like this: big 4pc bars, top load stem, short forks, short end frame with a high stand-over, a fat seat about 4 inches high, short cranks, pedals w/ grind sides, 4 plastic pegs, a freecoaster ... more »

I have been riding for almost 5 years and the closest I have gotten is landing with one foot on the seat, the other on the ground. But I never actually dedicated a period of time towards learning tailwhips so I think it's possible but you would have ... more »

You got it but if you're going real street and not wearing a helmet I'd be careful on that 13 and 17 and just make sure you land with your weight centered so that you don't blow off the back of the bike and hit your head. If you crash from landing with ... more »
