So I am looking to learn my first trick. Im used to my new BMX bike, im doin pretty good jumps on my ramp, but i want to take it to the next level. I was thinking like a 180, but i gotta keep it small cuz my ramp is only like a foot high. What would you guys recommend?

first of all bmx doesnt require a ramp so drop that . then you wanna learn how to hop, rollout and catwalk( wheelie ) learning to catwalk will make you have more balace for when you start acual 180s and manuals

okay, yeah i was expecting that Wallmart, and chad sounds good, but can i ask what the difference is between those and manuals? i thought a manual was pretty much a fancy word for a wheelie. Could you maybe explain the difference between catwalks, rollouts and manuals? thanks for the help so far, im pretty psyched about taking this on. Okay i looked on wikipedia, and there was 1 mention of a rollout, but it didnt really say what exactly it was.

the rollout is a trick that gets you out of 180s were you go backwards and then manuver yourself out you cvan learn this from pushing off a wall , a catwalk is different than a manual because you pedal with a catwalk and with a manual you lean back and hold it a good reference for trick help is just going on youtube and and typing in "bmx how to " and abunch of tricks will come up
