Learn the forkglide and probably peg wheelies, this will keep you entertained for a couple weeks.

I would think that general flatland is where it should be posted, unless it was moved since you posted.   :huh:

I got half lashes pretty quick.

they are such a fun trick to learn / do
plus there is all kinds of stuff you can learn from them.

it also teaches you rolling balance as the bike is swinging around to infront of you
wich will help some in thery when learning foward steam with no foot touching.

so he was just asking where to start

reasonable question imo

i think the thread was orginally posted in the "parts and bike " section. thanks for moving it to the right section. any ways, if you have front brakes, squeakers - easy, safe, helps you to pick up the 'tempo' of scuffing, from there you could learn backwards hang 5, frontyard, infinity rolls etc.

all the best and welcome 2 globalflat

i agree with fork glides and peg wheelies.  maybe tailwhips and trackstands.  but really just whatever u find cool and will put the time in to learn. hope i helped
