Title: Do you still remember your 1st bmx trick?
Post by: ngpete on November 23, 2013, 09:02:50 AM
Hi guys, do you guys still remember your 1st bmx trick? How long does it takes you to learn? I'm learning my 1st bmx trick - peg wheelie and i read it suppose to be the easiest one but 2 weeks of practicing and yet no sucess. Lol.

Yep peg wheelies on my ride to school each day.
If your just starting out it may seem to be taking a while. But it will happen.
And will lead you onto the next trick.

It was a footjam tailwhip.

I hate that trick to this day more than any other trick I've ever done. I never want to do one again. It's not even easy for me NOW.

Yeah, great question!
-half barspin, then barspin on flat, second was 180 and wheelie.
Footjam Tailspin was late, there was no pegs and no gyro back in that time (however pegs dont needed 4 that).
Brakeless was the only option to do full barspins..lol
We made pegs of a large bright nut or double nut plus a funky screw on the axle, wich always bent like sh3.. ..funky stuff..haha
Cheers!!!
-eyh, sorry -first trick was wheelie on a collapsible bike with backrake..HAHAHAhaaaaaa
CEERS ..whyeah, that thread bring back good memories!!!!  :beer:
-yeah, little drunk at the moment, but nice one:
Remember.., we took off the brakes to make a full barspin because of the cable stop the bars...
-edit: f* cable!!!
...yeah! -cheers again!!! (...ummg)

First trick was half a bar spin, the same night I tried footjam tailwhips didn't land one for over a year! Was spinning the bars 3 full spins at one point! I was like the king of bar spins :) . . . . then hop bars came about.

TJ! I couldn't agree with you more. I still have scars on my right toe. Curse Bryan Blyther for ever inventing it in the first place. Hahahahaha

This was my first trick too, and I feel the same way haha.

Track stand or endo; I'm not sure which came first.  Once pegs came out, I think it was probably back wheel hops.

O yeah. Endos. Had to be endos.
Then nofoot endos. Double can endos. Pendulum endos.

no handed riding, curb endo's and toe jam endos for me. but as far as a "real" trick it was framestands.
 
I agree with TJ JM & Wesbmx'r too! I shredded many a toe and many pairs of vans slip ons doing foot jam tailwhips.  The brake bolt would always get me!

It would be a track stand but with both feet standing on some skyway mags.  It was on my cousins Predator.  I didn't even have a bmx yet, but did have a schwinn stingray.  I realized really fast a bmx is what I wanted to ride..

Well, managed to do my 1st 1/2 Barspin today. After 3 weeks of trying to do peg wheelie (which i only manage to hang on for max of 2secs  ??? ), i decided to try Barspin. Although it's a very simple skill but i felt great!  B)

I definitely remember doing endos first, but I was doing those on any bike I could. Theres one time that is vivid from when I did it on my friend's new moutain bike and destroyed my groin...


The first time I remember thinking, 'yeh I did a proper trick' might have been a bunny hop no-footer.

bunny hops and wheelies until the freestyling mags came out then it was the miami hopper or cherry & pedal picker that was the first actual cool tricks I learned from the step by step how too's! Back in the day boy! Mid 80's
