Trick that impresses you most?

Anytime someone goes so big that it looks like their bike or body should be obliterated on impact, it impresses me. you don't need tricks.

Lol, thats a good point! So big air for you! Ill admit that when I see the local "god" riding around the park they know so well and they hit big air and transitions it impresses the hell out of me too!

A good hop is rare to see these days. Arms should be straight, front end should be dipped, back wheel should hit your ass. A good hop usually looks better over a gap or whatever than a trick on the same obstacle

Any type of regular barspin out of grinds , as someone who throws goofy , im jealous as fuck ! So hard . As well , an extended nac nac / motowhip , and rear seatgrabs will never go out of style .

turndowns, tuck no's

I tried learning turndowns, still dont know how to do them, always end up just looking like a bar turn lol. Maybe one day.

I see a lot of younger riders both on scooters and bikes and most of them focus on ramp stuff. When i do a hop or something simple i often get a "how did you do that so high!!?" And then I try my best to teach them.

I get schooled by most older riders though, hopping like 4ft lol that extra foot remains elusive to me.

Lucky dip is it called? Arm through the box section of the bars and grab your seat. So much potential for pain there if you fuck up aha

decades

Triple tailwhip to barspin

A feeble or smith on a handrail

Anything Big that lands fakie.

For some reason I’ve always loved if someone could do a super fat air 540 back tire grab over a spine so they fakie out

any kind of high hop for me...either alone, or as a means to get onto something, or as part of a trick. I am also a fan of any 180 or 360...mostly cause I can't do them...yet. Good clean air off of anything is also awesome, with a perfect landing. I can give or take all of the X-Games stuff though. After a while, that all just looks the same to me...sort of partial to high, long rail grinds as well...looks so fun.

But really, watching somebody run a good clean line with well though out and executed tricks are the best.

Any kind of nose manual.

Inverts, clicked turndowns (like Chris Doyle style) Vic Murphy's Tables, and his lawnmowers, and pretty much anything Aitken does/did.

Also Morgan Wades superman whips. So awesome looking.

Reuel Ericksons superman decade , a good tj lavin style extended superman seat grab ( Kevin perazas are the best I've seen lately , superman nothings , superman seat grab backflips , pretty much anything with a superman , there's not enough supermans in bmx these days , whip bar combos are getting overkilled to death it seems

Brake-tech moves. Rob Armour has always been a favorite. His bike control is next-level.

Do a kickout toward your back foot, then twist your upper body TOWARDS your back foot.

Practice the motions when standing on the ground with your bike on its back wheel.

Or lay on your back with your feet on the pedals and your hands on the bars and practice the motions.

Also front wheel moves with brakes.

A good table gets me psyched.

Bungay's seatgrab tricks. What the hell how do they even work

Weird original street stuff that pegless riders do

BOOM! And with a backflip thrown in there!

Forgot lawnmowers. What an insane trick

Big supermans or superman seat grabs, tables (flat, not inverted) truckdrivers, 360 tables and 360 whips

Moto slides or backward moto slides, especially when sliding under objects. Speaking of Tate Roskelley with Volume bmx, also those insane milk crate spins. I also enjoy watching riders do toothpick stalls.. I just think they're ill
